Perfumer's Choice | Victor | Eau de Toilette | Fragrance for Men | Aromatic Fougere Oriental Scent | 1.7 oz (Pack of 2)

Yes, it does smell like Tom Ford Oud and at the fraction of a cost. The small lasts long (very long for its price). Initially, I was a bit skeptical, as Fakespot gave it a grade D for fake reviews. I thought it is only around $20, so no harm in buying it, and I am glad that I did.This one has the same type of ASMR effect to your olfactory like the musical group The Marshall Watson's song "And the Wall" has to your ears. Excellent product.

Spicy and a little peppery with a hint of sweetness from the white peach and jasmine. 10/10 would recommend on a "spicy" night ;) a few sprays on your neck and he or she 🫡 will be all over you.

I have two full original bottles, various decants and multiple samples from the Boutique from 4 different batches of Aventus, so I have smelled the real thing with some of its batch variations. Just mentioned that to let know that I know the real thing. I purchased this fragance ( Victor No9 ) because prior to acquiring the real thing, I was looking into the Aventus clones and this one showed as the #1 clone in the opinion of one fragrance "guy" over the internet. His reasoning was that it was the cheapest that smelled the closest to Aventus. I agree that it is the cheapest, but it is definitely not the closest, I will say it is around 80% to 85% Aventus mostly on the woody dry down because the opening although fruity it is not as sweet as the classic sweet pineapple opening the original has. The opening for this one is rather more citrussy a bit more acidic than Aventus then it dries down to a woody smell that resembles the woody on the original but is not as smoky woody but rather citric sweet woody. The company that produces this fragrance is actually based in London and I saw it when I visited that city last summer. That is why I picked it up as the fragrance guy recommended it and I recalled seeing the company over there so I figured that a London based fragrance company cant be that bad. I can say that for the price is a decent pick up, I totally understand the people that said it smells synthetic, but come on, it is just $15 what you expect real Aventus quality??? as the title of my review says, it is an Aventus inspired smell the longevity is decent, around 6 hours, projects very nice for the first hour then it becomes more of a skin scent after that although it actually leaves a trail in the air, which is different than projection, for around the 6 hours it lasts. Right now I use it as for going out and do errands for the house and for going to family and friends casual nothing special weekend thing gatherings. Maybe can be used for daily work but I prefer other fragrance for the office. The value proposition for it is decent and is so cheap that if you dont like it you didnt lose that much but if you do like it you will feel like you found a gem. Just a note on its characteristics, yes this is a spray on its delivery, but not like an AXE body spray is just that is different from regular perfumes. The sprayer is continuous so if you leave it pressed it will keep delivering juice which is thicker in consistency than a regular body spray. Overall I will say it is a good pick up for the price if you are into the Aventus scent DNA and want an option for daily use, because unless you are wealthy, it doesnt make sense to use Aventus everyday, it is just too expensive for a fragrance. As for the bottles, decants and samples of the real thing I own I use them for ultra special occasions with my family in which I want to create long lasting memories and smell is the longest lasting sense that our memory recalls so whenever my family smells me in Aventus they remember good days. This one is for daily use as I like the Aventus scent DNA but different enough so my family can tell the difference between the two.

I bought this originally to layer with rose oil to deepen the floral sweetness with sandalwood… but found the Phoenix scent to be wonderful on its own. The scent of a single spray lasts for hours, I spritzed it on pulse points in morning and could still catch the warmth of it in the evening—it would take more than a single spritz for it to last longer but for a daily perfume, one spritz is enough to remind me of woods and sunlight and golden candle flames while I work. Definitely a scent I’m going to keep buying!

Goods(in order of stronger points):1. Unrealistic Price. $19 for a big bottle. Cheaper than any cheap perfumes2. Quality of perfume and the bottle. Not a cheap synthetic perfume oils nor crude material of the bottle for the price.3. Scent. Quite deep Oud note that is comparable to that of Oud Wood by Tom Ford.4. Made in England. Product from London.Bads:1. The plastic case that comes with 2.8oz size. Looks like divide by half easily, but it actually stuck as if an uni body. The plastic case is solid material, so no way to open the product from the case. A hammer required. It may be only my order. As breaking the case with a hammer, sharp pieces were aggressive.See the pic.2. The top note of the fragrance is quite spicy. It is not a pleasant spicy note. It is something you can smell from food. I feel like catching spicy food smell after dinner when wearing it until it dries down after 30 mins when the spicy note weakened.3. Bottle design. Maybe it is my personal taste, but the bottle looks like a small hair spray. Both shape and the metal material. This doesn't go well with other perfume collections.A true replacement for Oud Wood by Tom Ford? Very close. Well done. But not quite there. It is not mysterious oud smell like Oud Wood. It is like oud marinated with red pepper paste for first 30+ minutes. Then it becomes 80% similar to Oud Wood.Because of its price, it still worth to try.Scent: 6/10 (top note meh, midlle and base ok)Longevity: 7/10 (+5 hours on skin. Better than Tom Ford)Projection: 5/10 (1~2 fts)
