3 Best Creed Aventus Clones/Dupes (2023)

When Creed Aventus first came on the scene in 2010 it was a beast! However, with past reformulations to Creed Aventus causing a lackluster performance, many are finding it hard to justify paying the hefty price tag and are in search of a Creed Aventus clone/dupe.

Many companies have jumped on this opportunity by creating their own Creed Aventus clones/dupes (some companies have more than 1).

I’ve narrowed it down to the 3 best Creed Aventus clones/dupes on the market and you can’t go wrong with any of them.

Creed Aventus Clones/Dupes

Clone/Dupe of: Creed Aventus

Have I tried Club De Nuit Intense Man? Yes

Have I tried Creed Aventus? No

Blind buy worthy? Yes

*This is one of my most complimented fragrances, for those who care about compliments.

I also have to admit, when I first sprayed this on my hand I was taken back, and not in a good way. I was so off-put that I wasn’t sure I’d ever wear it.

I gave it a chance and I’m glad I did. The more I wear it the more I like it. I find the scent quite alluring.

The Opening: Is a little harsh (has been compared to lemon pledge) for the first 20 minutes or so. Is this a deal breaker? I don’t think so. I simply apply it for at least 20 minutes before I know people will smell me. Once the lemon subsides, Aventus starts to come through.

The Drydown: This is where Club De Nuit Intense Man shines! The more it dries the better it gets! The citruses fade and the birch in this fragrance gives it a woody and slightly smokey dry-down. Those who’ve smelled Creed Aventus typically rate Club De Nuit Intense Man as a 90+ % clone/dupe in the dry-down.

Performance: Club De Nuit Intense Man is beast mode on me, I can’t speak for others. I get 24 hours on my skin and eternal on my clothes! The scent doesn’t disappear until I wash them. Projection is quite heavy for the first 3-4 hours as I’m constantly smelling it around me and based on comments I know others do too.

Summary:

  • Best Creed Aventus clone/dupe
  • Compliment monster
  • Performance is beast mode
  • Opening is harsh for first 20mins or so
  • Drydown is 90+ % close to Aventus and is heavenly
  • Projects heavily for 3-4 hours
  • Last 24 hours on skin and eternal on clothes

Clone/Dupe Of: Creed Aventus

Have I tried Supremacy Silver? No

Blind buy worthy? Yes

The Opening: Supremacy Silver is said to start off much smoother than Club De Nuit Intense Man. It also has a fruitier, less citrusy opening than CDNIM which is more reminiscent of Aventus.

The Drydown: Those who’ve owned both Aventus and Supremacy Silver said the 2 are barely distinguishable.

Performance: Projects moderately for 2-3 hours and last 8+ hours on the skin, a day on clothes.

If Supremacy Silver is a closer clone to Aventus than Club De Nuit Intense Man, why did I rate it #2?

For 2 reasons, CDNIM gets crazy compliments and performs out of this world. Given that CDNIM is also a really close clone/dupe of Aventus, I gave it the #1 spot because it mops the floor in those 2 categories.

Summary:

  • Closest clone/dupe of Creed Aventus for scent
  • Opening is smooth and fruity like Aventus
  • Dry down is nearly indistinguishable from Aventus
  • Projects moderately for 2-3 hours
  • Last 8+ hours on skin and a day on clothes

Inspired By: Creed Aventus

Have I tried Mont Blanc Explorer? No

Blind buy worthy? Yes

Mont Blanc Explorer is less of a clone and more of an inspired by. It maintains about 80% of the Aventus DNA and adds a twist to the other 20%.

The Opening: Explorer is spicier and less fruity compared to Aventus.

The Drydown: This is where Explored veers slightly from Aventus. It’s missing that famous birch woody smokiness. Explorer is still woody but more of an outdoorsy type of woody.

Performance: This is the common complaint with Explorer. Has a moderate projection for 1-2 hours. Lasts 4-7 hours on the skin and a little longer on clothes.

Summary:

  • Inspired by Creed Aventus
  • Performance is its’ biggest complaint
  • Opening is spicier and less fruity
  • Dry down is missing the famous birch woody/smokiness
  • Moderate projection for 1-2 hours

2 Parfums De Marly (PDM) Kalan Clones/Dupes (2023)

Some of the links below are affiliate links, which means I may earn a commission, at no extra cost to you.

Parfums De Marly Kalan is known to be a polarizing scent, people tend to love it or hate it. I’m one of those people who loves the scent PDM Kalan! This may sound odd because I’ve never actually smelled Kalan! So, how is it possible I love the scent of Kalan?

I ordered the cheapest clone/dupe of Kalan I could find, Maison Alhambra’s Kalos. It gave me a general idea of Kalan’s scent profile. And for me, I enjoyed this scent from the first sniff.

It’s nothing I’ve ever smelled before, captivating me with its’ mysterious curiosity.

After several wearings, it grew on me more and more. My liking for the scent grew into love, convincing me to upgrade to a higher-quality clone.

I ordered the premium clone/dupe of Kalan called Amber Oud Exclusif Sport, also by Maison Alhambra, and boy and I am glad I did!

You can read about the differences between the 2 clones based on my experience below.

The upgrade in quality over the other clone, Kalos, is noticeable at first spray. No more alcohol opening. No more rough and edgy opening. Much more depth, body, and well-roundedness.

The Opening: Is said to be 95-100% identical to Parfum De Marly Kalan. I can speak to this but I can attest to it being extremely high quality.

The Drydown: Is said to be 95-100% identical to Parfum De Marly Kalan.

Performance: Amber Oud Exclusif Sport has above-average performance. I get around 2 hours of above-average projection, 8+ hours on my skin, and days on clothes.

Summary:

The Opening: After an initial blast of alcohol, the opening scent is rough around the edges. I can only think to describe it as a dirty, musty smell. This slowly dies down after 10-15 min or so.

The Drydown: Lacks depth and body. Doesn’t contain that earthiness found in Kalan that adds some masculinity to the scent. I get more florals at this point than I do in Amber Oud Exclusif Sport.

Performance: Moderate projection for 1-2 hours. Lasts 5-6 hours on my skin and a day on clothes.

Summary:

  • Opening is alcoholic, rough around the edges
  • Dry down lacks depth and body, more florally.

3 Best YSL Tuxedo Clones/Dupes (2023)

Some of the links below are affiliate links, which means I may earn a commission, at no extra cost to you.

Yves Saint Laurent’s Tuxedo is a men’s fragrance that is both classic and modern. It’s elegant, and sophisticated and can be worn in any setting. Tuxedo is the perfect fragrance for a man who wants to be different, yet still traditional. It’s perfect if you’re looking for a fragrance that’s not overpowering, yet different and noticeable.

Given its high price tag, it’s not accessible to many people. Luckily, there are several great Tuxedo clones/dupes to choose from.

Have I tried The Tux? Yes

Have I tried YSL Tuxedo? No

Blind buy worthy? Yes

Maison Alhambra The Tux is said to be the best clone of YSL Tuxedo on the market. Do I agree? Yes. The scent is nearly identical, however, it doesn’t have great longevity or projection. It’s also not my favourite scent on this list, I much prefer the scent of Afnan’s Tuxedo Brown which takes the #2 spot.

The Opening: Is said to be identical to YSL Tuxedo for the average nose.

The Drydown: Is said to be identical to YSL Tuxedo for the average nose. One thing that’s been mentioned and I’d have to agree is The Tux lacks some depth in the dry-down. This is also one of the main reasons I prefer Turathi Brown over The Tux, along with its superior performance.

Performance: The Tux has modest performance. I get around 2 hours of moderate projection and an additional 4-6 hours of a skin scent.

Summary:

  • Best YSL Tuxedo clone/dupe for closeness in scent
  • Performance is it’s biggest downfall
  • Lack depth compared to my favourite: Turathi Brown
  • Opening and dry-down are identical to an average nose
  • People will think you’re wearing YSL’s Tuxedo
  • Projects moderately for 2 hours
  • Last 6-8 hours on skin and a day on clothes

Turathi Brown is my preferred clone/dupe of YSL’s Tuxedo. It’s not a 1:1 scent profile like The Tux. It’s about 80% Tuxedo and 20% of their own twist. I prefer this scent to The Tux.

Turathi Brown is slightly sweeter than The Tux with the vanilla added, and I prefer sweeter scents in general. It’s not very sweet by any means, just a hint.

Turathi Brown smells higher quality with much more depth and outperforms The Tux by a long shot. If you want to get noticed, Turathi Brown is for you.

The Opening: This is where Turathi Brown smells most like Tuxedo as it has Patchouli as a top note instead of a Heart or Base note. It starts off slightly woodier though.

The Drydown: This is where Turathi Brown takes its’ own path as it dries down. The Patchouli slowly fades while Vanilla and Rose start to become more prominent than Tuxedo. It’s an absolutely beautiful and elegant scent.

Performance: Above average projection for 2-3 hours. Lasts 8+ hours on my skin and days on clothes.

Summary:

  • Clone/dupe of YSL Tuxedo
  • Opening is where it’s closest to Tuxedo
  • Dry down is slightly sweeter, spicier, and more floral
  • Above average projection for 2-3 hours
  • Last 8+ hours on the skin, days on clothes

Baccarat Rouge 540 is a fragrance that is perfect for special occasions or for those who want to make a statement. It’s perfect for women/men who want to stand out and be remembered.

The #1 drawback is the massive price tag of Baccarat Rouge 540. You’re looking at $300+ for a 60ml bottle. Unreal!

This isn’t a perfume made accessible to the average person financially.

This is where Baccarat Roge 540 clones/dupes come in.

There have been numerous attempts to clone Baccarat Rouge 540 over the past few years and it seems they keep getting better and better.

IMportant: Please Read

Performance: Club De Nuit Untold is an amazing performer all around. Depending on your skin, it’s typical to last 12+ hours on the skin. It will last days on clothes until you do laundry essentially. The scent projects several feet off your skin and is quite strong. Be careful how many sprays you use. It’s recommended to start with 2 and to not spray your neck or you may get anosmia.

2 Bleu De Chanel Clones/Dupes and 1 Inspired BY (2023)

Some of the links below are affiliate links, which means I may earn a commission, at no extra cost to you.

Bleu De Chanel is an iconic scent that birthed the blue fragrance niche. It is a classic, masculine fragrance that has been around for over 100 years. The scent is elegant, with subtle spices in the foreground a hint of smokey incense, and sweetness in the background. Bleu De Chanel is praised as a masterpiece by many in the fragrance community.

The one major downside to Bleu De Chanel is its’ price, as it’s quite steep. Making this iconic fragrance inaccessible to many people.

This roadblock has many people, searching for a Bleu De Chanel clone/dupe.

Bleu De Chanel appears to be quite difficult to clone as many companies have tried to match its scent without success.

I have 2 popular and highly praised clones/dupes of Bleu De Chanel. One of these clones is said to be a dead ringer of Bleu De Chanel. This other is more of an inspired-by type of scent and smells nice in its own right.

I can’t speak to these claims as I don’t own Bleu De Chanel. This is based on my extensive research during my own search for the best Bleu De Chanel clone/dupe.

Have I tried Bleu De Chanel? No

Blind buy worthy? Yes

Club De Nuit Iconic is said to be the best clone of Bleu De Chanel on the market by a long shot. Many others have tried to clone Bleu De Chanel with little success.

The Opening: Is said to be sharper and more citrusy for the 1st 10-15 minutes or so. Because of this, Iconic resembles Bleu De Chanel EDT in the opening. This can be a good thing or a bad thing depending on your taste. The dry-down is where Iconic starts to shine.

The Drydown: Is said to get closer and closer to the DNA of Bleu De Chanel EDP as it dries down. The citruses fade and the slightly sweet woods take over with incense off in the background. The one difference seems to be Iconic doesn’t have the same depth as Bleu De Chanel, but otherwise, the scents are nearly identical.

Performance: Club De Nuit Iconic projects moderately for the first 2-3 hours and then stays fairly close to the skin thereafter. Lasts 6-8 hours on my skin (could be different for you). Bleu De Chanel isn’t known for having a great projection and being more intimate. Iconic is no different.

Summary:

  • Best Bleu De Chanel clone/dupe
  • Clone/Dupe of Bleu De Chanel EDP

  • Smells closer to Bleu De Chanel in the dry-down

The Opening: Lacks the zesty punch that’s famous in Bleu De Chanel. It comes much flatter and more linear. I find the mint is quite prominent in Tag-Him, but that could just be my nose.

The Drydown: This scent is fairly linear and doesn’t change a whole lot from the opening. It dries down to a very pleasant scent. It may not smell a lot like Bleu De Chanel but it carries the same vibe. It’s missing the woods and incense from Bleu De Chanel. I actually enjoy this scent quite a bit though and have received compliments on it. I love the freshness of the mint that stays throughout the dry-down.

Performance: I was quite surprised by the performance of Tag-Him as I wasn’t expecting much. It has better projection than Iconic and projects for 2-3 hours. Based on my compliments, it projects at least an arm’s length. The scent stays on my skin for 6-8 hours.

Summary:

The Opening: Not as heavy on the citruses as Bleu De Chanel. It less in your face and settles quickly. I don’t find the opening as flat as Tag-Him, this lands somewhere between.

The Drydown: MIssoni Pour Homme is also a linear scent. It doesn’t change much as it dries from the opening. The dry-down is said to be less woody than Bleu De Chanel and not as deep. I find the overall scent from beginner to end a little powdery, likely from the lavender, which Bleu De Chanel doesn’t have.

Performance: This projects for 2 hours or so off of my skin. After that, it gets close to the skin and fades after 5-6 hours.

I enjoy this scent very much as has become one of my go-to dumb reaches.

I prefer this over Tag-Him.

2 Versace Eros Clones/Dupes That Smell Like Eros (2023)

Some of the links below are affiliate links, which means I may earn a commission, at no extra cost to you.

Versace Eros is one of my favourite fragrances. There’s just something about the prominent vanilla/mint that I’m in love with. The apple and wood in the background are blended perfectly and make themselves known just the right amount.

Before I purchased Eros I’d never smelled the official version before. I did, however, try one of the clones/dupes below which sold me on the scent.

A week later, after wearing the clone a few times, I purchased a 100ml bottle of Eros EDP.

I loved the Eros scent so much from the clone that I went and bought Versace Eros at discount.

Why did I buy Eros when the clone smells just like it? Because the performance of the clone didn’t meet my expectations. Versace Eros EDP is definitely an upgrade in the performance department.

Have I tried Versencia Oro? Yes

Going by scent alone, this is a great clone. Amazing in fact. It has more similarities to the EDP version of Ero in my opinion.

The Opening: Similar to Eros EDP, Versencia Oro has no green apple and the citruses are toned down in the opening. The vanilla and mint are quite prominent in both from the get-go.

The Drydown: I find the scent to be fairly linear with this one, as in it doesn’t morph as it dries. The prominent vanilla and mint scent stays consistent.

Performance: Versencia Oro projects well for the first hour or so and then stays fairly close to the skin thereafter. Lasts 6-7 hours on my skin (could be different for you) and have smelled it days later on my clothes.

The Opening: Has more apples and citruses and less mint than Eros.

The Drydown: Dries down to vanilla + sandalwood and the mint fades away. This is a significant difference to Eros because the mint stays with you through the life of the scent. The vanilla/mint combo is a signature of Versace Eros. If that’s what you’re looking for then English Laundry Oxford Bleu may not be the best clone of Versace Eros for you.

Performance: Longevity appears to average around 7 hours with moderate projection for the first couple of hours. Sillage seems to be the biggest complaint when it comes to performance with this one. This projects better than Oro which will create a larger and longer-lasting scent bubble around you. People will smell you more with this.

Summary:

  • Clone/Dupe of Versace EDT
  • More apple, less citrus, and more mint in opening
  • Mint fades in dry-down
  • Projects moderately for 2 hours
  • Last 6-7 hours on the skin
