Creed Aventus is so expensive but I would say those other two perfumes are very close to it. Currently alternating between these scents: Armaf Club De Nuit Intense Men Dunhill Edition Mugler Cologne Penhaligon's Blenheim Bouquet Comme Des Garscon Avignon YSL L'Homme I have also tried Lomani but yes so poor longevity. You should try Insurrection Pure II. I think it is closer to Aventus than Armaf CDNI, but CDNI has the best longevity among all. I wanna try L’Aventus maybe next month.

killerwhale Posted June 28, 2018 Report Share Posted June 28, 2018 Generally those woody/musky/dark scents lasts longer than citrusy/floral/light scents. I read that one trick is to spray Molecule 01 (pure Iso E Super) and wait for it to dry for a few minutes, then spray on top of it your actual lighter fragrance. The base Molecule 01 will extend the longevity of your lighter fragrance. Do note that this will also alter the scent signature of your scent to more musky/woody. Personally, I have not tried this trick yet so I cannot confirm if this trick is good or not. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A few other fragrances I sampled and liked yesterday: Calvin Klein Eternity Air for Men [2018] - less lavender than the original and more aquatic, ozonic elements as well as juniper berries. Acqua di Gio Profumo [the black bottle] - again aquatic with citrus-bergamot crispness.

The one you smelled may be the toned down version. They brought back the gasoline note during the 2017 reformulation along with a new bottle cap. It’s not really worth cashing on Tom Ford fragrances, unless you live in cold places. And yes, they are overpriced.

I could not smell it after 30mins to 1hour. I really liked it but didn't purchase because of that. So far my go to fragrance for Penhaligons is still Blenheim Bouquet, longevity is ok if you use 3 sprays in the morning, If you want to make it last way past evening you have to respray at maybe 5pm/6pm.

One of the reasons I don't make instant purchase of fragrances after smelling them is the concern of longevity of the scent after spray on, especially in our hot humid SG weather and particularly that I am one hot-blooded being and have a problem with weak longevity scents. 30 minutes ago, Momopolare said: I personally wouldn't sink my cash into any fragrance that couldn't last more than 8 hours with a $100++ price tag.

Hahaha, I had purchased Lynx Africa [UK/Australian branding for Axe I suppose] recently from fairprice but all I got from the spray can was mostly Tonka bean and Vanilla - okay for night-time use but a bit too sweet [to me at least] for bloody hot afternoons At least it does have lasting power and doesn't seem weak or cheap. Might check out the other bodysprays for use after shower/sports. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You are indeed right. The gasoline notes are initially overpowering, but quite volatile and after 5 minutes quite subtle. An interesting and complex fragrance I would not for a moment pretend to have the terminology to describe. Except to say it is slightly to the heavier side and probably need to be worn at night and preferably in colder climate. Not something I would wear, but certainly a fragrance which, if I walked into a room and smelt it, would immediately raise my temperature....
