Who does not know him?
I discovered the fragrance in 2014 through a friend, when he told me about the reactions & compliments of the people, I thought to myself only the exaggerates yet. I had never smelled him, knew him only from stories, as in the storybooks. So I made myself on the way to the mall to test it.
No sooner said than done. On the test strip first smelled, no wow effect. It was even rather a bit boring. Put directly into the jacket pocket and on to my appointment. About 2-3 hours later I noticed that the test strip was still in my jacket pocket and I remembered there was something. 2. Try, I smell the test strip and stop short, because I do not come clear on the scent. Never to before smelled something so beautifully balanced. I must add that it was 2014 and I knew until then no non-fragrances and only times in Douglas now and then was shopping. My mind is really going crazy and I'm not exaggerating. It was immediately clear to me, I have to have this fragrance. At the time I was still in training,so this fragrance was extremely expensive for me for then 180 Eur 75 ml.
I saved my money for the fragrance and bought it after a few months.
I really only sprayed it on special days or on dates.
And every time I sprayed it on, there really wasn't a day where I didn't get a compliment. The stories of my friend came to my mind and I just thought to myself, the really has not exaggerated haha.
Well... Time passes and since I used this fragrance so rarely as it was like a treasure to me, I still had this bottle half full until 2018. It was also always enough to use only 3 sprays for the whole day.
In 2018, I then got a bottle as a gift. Lo and behold, there was the 75 ml variant no longer! Since I had hardly dealt with the perfume world up to that point, there was a big question mark in my
Head and I googlete after. Eventually I found out that the 75 ml and 125 ml bottles had been discontinued. From then on my journey in the perfume world has also begun, because then I realized ,that there were differences between batches etc.
So why did I call the title "love-hate"
For the following reasons:
He has been remade or cloned too many times ,not really succeeded in my opinion but so that almost everyone can run around with the Aventus DNA which makes it not so special anymore. Again, I love him so much that I can not let him go.
Its durability and sillage, is no longer the Selbe , as before. Nevertheless, comes simply keim Dupe ran to the fragrance, no CDNIM or otherwise, for me, these fragrances have only one thing in common with Aventus and that is the pineapple, but more also not (My opinion).
That was it already. The fragrance itself have already very many well described here, so I'll save you the copy paste :)

One of the few scents where the vetiver smells pleasantly fresh. It has a light office touch scent, would still say that he is also versatile wearable. There were also compliments already. The scent is very well balanced for me and I like the sillage too. It is not too fresh or too sweet.
Can not pull full that the synthetic smell, for me smells the real good natural.

First of all, I would like to say that I own many expensive Nichen fragrances, but also many dupes. Since I have already made the experience that some dupes actually smelled better than the originals, longer durable ware and of course much cheaper, I knew I will always give the dupes a chance. However, there is of course to mention here that for me the best clone houses: The Dua Brand and Alexandria Fragrances are
So I come times directly to the fragrance:
I did not know the original Spice & Wood by Creed yet, it was a blind buy from AF. Directly at the first sprayer, I was in love and thought to myself only wow! He smells very balanced, pleasant and still good smell. Had previously smelled no similar fragrance.
I had to try directly the next day in the city and the original, said done : At least 90% the same.
Then it was clear to me, for the extreme price difference, the Arabian Forest will win. Since for me no significant difference was to smell and also from the durability, it was too bad for me to give so much money for the original. Maybe times in the future.
For me, the fragrance is to describe it simply, a mixture of fresh (not aquatic, rather green) and very slightly sweet from the apple.

So I'll start directly without an intro, as most do here ?.
I own, as many also probably the Acqua di Gio or knows him eigt almost everyone. The fragrance remains for me always the one to everything portable fragrance! When my friend came to me the other day, he said with a smile: "Guess which dupe this is" and gave me the 360 Red in the hand. In fact I didn't know,though I already know lots of dupes by now. My first thought : A) :Why do you make a dupe of such a simple fragrance, which is always cheap anyway (with discounts&offers etc) and B) : Man looks the flacon ugly haha.
Nevertheless, I smelled him, tested without being biased.
It smelled so extremely synthetic beginning, that I could first perceive the Acqua di gio only very slightly ... Also after 1std there was not really a riechbarem difference in the DryDown.
Conclusion: The fragrance smells for me only after extremely aquatic shower gel men's touch, which has to do for me except the aquatic with Acqua di Gio.
That said, I really wonder why you need a dupe here.... The Og costs not much more expensive and also keeps quite ok, although not like before, but trz already quite ok.

I now own more than 20 different Dua fragrances and Aphrodisiac is one of the fragrances that disappointed me slightly. I also assume that the disappointment came because very many have talked this fragrance so beautiful. To me, this is a vanilla explosion with some light spice. He smells not even bad, but the hype I do not understand. The durability and sillage extremely strong, typical Dua halt :). Who stands on extremely strong vanilla typical fragrances, which is right with de fragrance. To all others who hope for something seductive mystical here; leave the fingers of it!
