Maybe it needs more time to macerate/mature. I received the bottle on November 12th. When you spray it in the air, it smells like a fake fragrance, someone would put in a bottle of perfume to con you. on the dry down, it has a faint smell of Meteore, but it’s faint. I don’t know, but I watched all these influencers saying that it’s a 1 to 1 or even better, and I just don’t smell that at all! I don’t claim to have an expert nose at all, but I’ve smelled LV Meteore and I’m not sure what they are smelling maybe I bought into the hype or maybe it needs another two months to macerate/mature.

@Blake Merl I was wondering which is better, Dua or Alexandria’s version of Meteore? I heard there are some good Middle Eastern dupes but not sure what they are.

@Lon Chaneyfield thanks for the advice. Montague is always sold out when I check their site. Hopefully they’ll restock it.

@Lon Chaneyfield good to know, I like stylish things that fit well with outfits but in no fashion am I spending thousands of dollars on one watch. Glad to know that you had success with your watches.

@Michael Gildner That’s looks nice I just ordered an Invicta. I was trying to get something that looks like a Breitling Super Ocean and saw an Invicta that looks somewhat similar.

Honestly, as a Creed Aventus interpretation, I like Mont Blanc Explorer much better than Club de Nuit Limited Edition Parfum. It’s not as lemon cleaner scent heavy and a smoother toned down scent. I get more compliments with Mont Blanc Explorer.
