Who needs the umpteenth Aventus doppelganger?
Admittedly, I should have been suspicious of scents like green apple x bergamot. Do I need this? Doesn't this smell like a whiff of one of the most successful men's perfumes of the last decade? After all, hindsight is the better part of valor and curiosity conquered my inner badass after a three month battle. Again. So blind purchase.
Everything was initially promising according to my standards: MAUBOUSSINs fragrances are me mostly grundsympathisch, this timeless-aesthetic design of the original "Homme" flacon of 2003 is and remains ingenious. And also otherwise Mauboussins makes small fragrance beauties for little money, which admittedly all fly under the German-speaking radar - like the whole brand itself. So an underdog without niche attitudes. Why not?
So now the brand new Discovery from January 2021, all in olive green. Presumably, the younger audience should address. Looks quite nice anyway - the design does it. Unfortunately, he has sobered me the first spray in the direction of white cardboard strip: Kennste yet, fuck!!! Without a doubt. Yes, it's the Aventus DNA. And that's exactly what I "broke" from Topp into Flopp within a year. Saturation level immeasurable (as of March 2021).
Intermediate conclusion: 2021 the end customers with an Aventus double to want to make happy. does not exactly testify to impressive creativity. (Okay, excessive creativity has never been Mauboussin's hobbyhorse) I've had enough of Aventus clones and its excesses, and they're slowly disturbing my aesthetic sensibilities. Even ZARA is currently mercilessly milking its initially quite nice Vibrant Leather cow dry with what feels like billions of flankers. So what? Who buys it! Do I want it? Nope and yawn.
Yet Mauboussins Discovery has rather inspired by Aventus, I feel it fresher, lighter and more suitable for summer, less brute. Let's put it this way: more fresh green apple, significantly less pineapple. The Aventus smokiness is barely detectable. It all stays on the breezy green line. In drydown, the Aventus DNA comes out all the more - it's that subtly pungent bergamot that sticks stubbornly to skin like old sticking plaster residue. I can live with, and I even find quite good.
Ultimately, I have decided that the Discovery remains on my collector's shelf. If only to complete the few Mauboussins bottles - on the other hand, to reconcile me again a little with Aventus. No more war footing. Maybe peace? At least truce.
