I have a cold, so I wont do a big review. 1st impressions, this seems like a very close clone of Aventus Absolu. Super strong. Even with my nose half plugged, this is coming through. Im kind of addicted to the dry down already. I expect this will be worn often

Good morning gentlemen. This is perfect for a cool Autumn day (or any day really)

The fragrance opens with a crisp, semi-sweet apple accord, immediately illuminated by an intense burst of vibrant citrus. The opening feels bright, energetic, and refreshing, with the juicy character of the apple providing just enough sweetness to soften the sharper citrus edges. At around the 15-minute mark, the fragrance begins to shift noticeably. The initial sweetness retreats as the citrus becomes more pungent, tart, and slightly sour, giving the composition a sharper and more assertive personality. At the same time, subtle waves of rosemary begin to emerge, introducing a fresh herbal quality that adds an interesting aromatic dimension. By 30 minutes, the pungent citrus remains at the heart of the fragrance, although its intensity has begun to settle. The rosemary continues to weave its way through the composition, but now there is a touch of spiciness accompanying the herbal character. This creates a more textured and sophisticated transition from the bright, citrus-driven opening toward the warmer heart of the fragrance. At around 60 minutes, the fragrance begins to soften considerably. A subtle sweetness emerges, carrying a smooth, creamy quality as amber and vanilla begin to blend together beautifully. Traces of rosemary remain in the background, preserving some of the fragrance's aromatic freshness, while a delicate musk slowly appears underneath. This stage feels noticeably warmer, smoother, and more inviting than the energetic opening. The dry down settles into a gentle combination of amber and vanilla, creating a soft warmth without becoming overly sweet. A whisper of musk adds depth and sensuality, while remnants of citrus linger quietly in the background, giving the fragrance just enough freshness to keep the warmer notes from feeling heavy. What began as a sharp and vibrant citrus composition ultimately transforms into something soft, creamy, musky, and comfortably warm. Overall, this fragrance takes you through an interesting evolution—from crisp apple and piercing citrus, through aromatic rosemary and spice, before finally resting on a creamy bed of amber, vanilla, and soft musk. The opening has plenty of personality, while the drydown offers a much smoother and more comforting experience.

Good morning gentlemen. I decided to wear this today only the second time I’ve worn it after getting it only a few days ago I don’t believe it took me this long to get it. I’ve only ever seen at Sephora and I’m not paying those prices so I was glad to see it at Costco for a decent price.

Finally made it to Denver and got the fragrances on the shelves. Love my wife for building a great area for my craziness.
