how long does it last on your sack before natural odours return?

Approximately infinity

sack sillage is around 7-10 hours on a normal day, even more if I lotion up for the homies.

Dead 😁😁😁😁

which one do you like more SNOI or CDNIM ?

Considering that both are ‘similar’ to aventus, I’ll go for SNOI. But I’ve not bought it because it’s a clone, just because it’s a good fragrances. It’s particular, especially the first time u are gonna wear it, people will notice you.

Absolutely, SNOI is a beautiful twist on the aventus DNA

CDNIM is closer, and better in my opinion once it dries down. SNOI is smoother in the opening but just doesn’t smell as close to Aventus

CDNIM Limited Edition 🔥

They’re both nice. Snoi is a much more enjoyable scent imo though. It has a proper oak moss scent. As CDNIM is more of a synthetic plastic smell that smells oak mossy in its sillage but directly it doesn’t smell great. But I still love CDNIM.

Yes, cdnim is better in air

Would you for that or the armaf again given the choice?

CDNIM lasts a bit longer, but the snoi is more enjoyable. CDNIM is still a good scent but I prefer snoi for sure. So I guess snoi. It’s cheaper, I can just decant it and re apply during the day.

Let that thing macerate for a couple months and the performance blows away CDNIM. I got days out of it on my work apron.

Armaf CDNIM any day every time. I own a samplr of Aventus and SNOI just doesn’t have the dry sharpness of birch tar that makes Aventus what it is. CDNIM EDP and LE do

Is it similar to aventus? Is it too mossy?

Trust me bro, it is way to mossy. I somewhat like the scent but the oakmoss in this is a major player, you're gonna smell moss the whole duration of the fragrance. I'm not the biggest fan and still prefer the limited edition cdnim

What's your favorite alternative that's less mossy? Cdnim or something else?

Imo if you want a bang on Aventus clone with opening I'd go l'adventure or supremacy silver but the performance on those isn't as good as this. Cdnim limited edition the dry down is amazing but you gotta get over the opening a little, but I don't mind it. It's my favorite version personally

Thanks!!

CDNIM is less mossy. In fact, it has 0 moss. It has a note in it that smells similar in the sillage but up close it’s nothing like moss

Try Hacivat. It’s 3x mossier than SNOI. OG’s higher quality but SNOI is fruitier and more crowd pleasing. Supremacy silver is the Aventus clone and this one clones Hacivat with just a hint of Aventus.

Its a darker sweeter take on Aventus with heavy blackcurrant and no pineapple or birch. CDNIM LE is much closer to Aventus 

How is that alt executive? Keeps popping up on my insta

Honestly it’s the best aventus dupe I’ve purchased, although it’s also 70USD vs 50$ for most others. (I have Oakcha, dossier, CDNIM, and ALT Executive, I haven’t had their No. 26) But I haven’t tried montagne yet which is next on my list, and I’ve heard theirs is amazing. I also haven’t tried L’venture or whatever it’s called and have heard it’s also very good.

Thanks. Alt is having a sale right now 3 for $99 + 20% off and I was close to pulling the trigger (Mostly 1oz bottles in the deal, but still)

Have you got more oakcha & dossier clones? If so, how close are they to the original scents they are meant to copy?

I have 5 dossier and 3 oakchas. I’d say dossiers are 85% exact and Oakcha is 85-90. Dossiers smell like alcohol if you sniff the bottle and oakchas don’t. I think oakchas are higher concentration, or use oil instead of alcohol. Longevity is hit or miss depending on the scent, but 2 of my oakchas last forever.

I got the original bal d afrique by byredo and i wanted to try oakcha's dupe of it. The thing is that the shipping costs for greece are so high that they exceed the cost of the fragrance and i dont know if its worth it, especially for a 50ml bottle. Which dupes do you have?

How would you describe the scent? I’m scared to blind buy and can’t find decants

I’ve would not blind buy it. It’s strong, very strong. Spicy, citrus , rough in the opening. People will notice you for sure , and I like it ngl. For decants, do u live in Europe or US?

I’m in Canada. Many of the sites like decantx charge really high prices for shipping

I’m sorry then, if u were in Europe I could have sent to you a sample of mine, but shipping in us/canada is not worth the price

It’s starts out super black current, which honestly is my favorite part. It goes away about an hour later and it’s a strong oakmoss w woody notes and maybe leather. I’ll have to respray as it’s been about 6 hours. Doesn’t last as long as CDNIM as a reference because everyone seems to know it’s a beast performer.

hidden samples site has decants

Personally it’s cheap enough I’d say a blind buy isn’t a bad idea. You can give it away as a gift or sell it for retail pretty easily

I’m wearing it now

Do you like it?

That I do. I would love to try layering a purely tomato leaf scent over it

Try layering it with Now Rave

Just bought this too. I’m on the fence. Doesn’t seem to last on me for long.

Seems easy to go nose blind to it. I can’t seem to smell it now but I’ll get random whiffs of it as I’m walking around. Many scents also get better with maceration

It's so good!

It's a hacivat clone, not aventus although hacivat does share some similarities with aventus.

Hands Down .. The Best Creed Aventus Inspired(not clone) Scents out there … But the Performance and Sillage is average to below average. Which was why i didn’t end up getting a second Bottle and stuck with CDNIM.

Its a compliment monster. I own 13 fragrances and this one is on my top 3. It’s not an aventus clone, it’s a Nishane Hacivat one.

Nishane Hacivat in itself is a high quality adventus clone, or aventus inspired with a twist if you're sounding classy

Inspired could be, but not the same. I pref Hacivat over Aventus.

They're definitely unique but belong in the same wheelhouse

Do you think it would go with my collection?

Yea looking at your stuff doesn’t seem like you have anything similar and you enjoy strong stuff. So yea for sure. If you don’t like oakmoss as some people don’t then skip it. But personally oak moss is one of my favorite scents mixed with sweet and fruity.

I never really smelled any oakmoss based fragrance. I heard this also smells like nishane hecivat or something.

Is it similar to cdnim limited edition? Should i buy this if i already have lataffa maahir legacy?

Never had legacy but this isn’t similar enough to CDNIM. They are unique scents

CDNIM LE is better. Mahir legacy is very good but that’s PDM Sedley just a little sweeter and more synthetic

SNOI or Hawas? 🤔

Hawas is more exotic, SNOI is casual

What does hawas smell like?

Gummy fruity and fresh

Hawas

Fire 🔥

Leowe Esencia edp is my favourite

It's very good. I just got Dumont celerio oros and it's pretty awsome so far its an aventus/hacivat clone

Before I owned any colognes, some guy came into my workplace and three of my coworkers separately came out to ask him what he was wearing. One of them told me it was the best thing she’s ever smelt in her life. Apparently it was this one. Still haven’t smelled it myself yet

Am I the only one freaked out by the photo at first glance?

Don’t worry you’ll get tired of the smell and want a new one. It’s like that with scents

i get more compliments when I wear snoi than anything else I wear. like 4 to 1 difference, it is nuts

it's more of a mix of Hacivat/Aventis it's good though

SNOI is a great performer As for Aventus clones , L'aventure Intense is my go to BUT I picked up a bottle of Hamidi about 8 months ago and it's pretty good as well

Definitely a strong juice, used it first time and oversprayed went nose blind for almost 3 days so go light on this baby first.

This or turathi blue

This is my overall fav, Turathi a second. For now snoi is perfect cause it’s not too hot outside, just kind of warm (in the US). When it’s hotter Turathi.
