7 Best Creed Aventus Clones

Armaf Club De Nuit Intense Man EDT Review

Armaf Club De Nuit Intense Man is undoubtedly the best Creed Aventus Clone out there. The Eau de Toilette was released in 2015 and is possibly more popular than the designer niche fragrance.

This cologne opens with fresh and fruity lemon, blackcurrant, and apple accords, morphing into a lavish floral heart featuring rose, jasmine, and spicy birch–the latter adding a touch of smoky leather. Vanilla, musk, patchouli, and sweet-smelling ambergris round up the base.

While the opening differs from that of Aventus, the scent soon progresses into a replica cologne.

Interestingly, once the fragrance settles, hardly anyone can tell you are wearing an Aventus clone. The cologne also boasts high likeability, a strong sillage, and excellent performance (8–10 hours staying power). 

Incredibly versatile, it’s suitable for all occasions–day or night–all year.

Vibrant Leather By Zara Review

Another scent that has captured Aventus’ beloved essence is Zara’s Vibrant Leather Eau de Parfum. The woody scent contains bergamot, bamboo, and leathery base accords in a distinctive, stylish, and enduring composition.

Released in 2018, this Jérôme Epinette formulation resembles Aventus’s citrusy, slightly earthy/spicy opening accents, thanks to the bergamot. The key difference between the two is that Vibrant Leather doesn’t feature Creed’s woody and ambroxan nuances. And while the performance isn’t that great–you’ll need to reapply a couple of times–the price is a steal!

Vibrant Leather does smell like Aventus Creed, at least initially, but it soon evolves into a bamboo heart and a leather base, so the drydown smells different. Still, at a fraction of the cost, you get close enough to smelling just like Aventus Creed. And that is a big deal.

Supremacy Silver Pour Homme by Afnan Eau De Parfum Review

Supremacy Silver Pour Homme (2013) is another male fragrance that smells like Creed Aventus. This pineapple-scented gourmand perfume comes in a striking bottle encased in a silver box, dripping classy elegance and high-end luxury. 

With a 3 feet (0.91m) projection and 8-10 hours of decent wear, this Creed Aventus smell-alike is simply fantastic. It sports the distinctive citrusy, fruity note Aventus is known for, plus a smokey, woodsy flavor. Although quite potent, this sensual cologne is not overpowering at all, but it stands out the moment you make an entrance. 

This clone is pricier than most Creed imitations, adding to its aura of a niche fragrance. It may appear soft and more delicate than Aventus, but it sure has the Creed vibe.

Montblanc Explorer Review

Montblanc’s Explorer male cologne is not an exact Aventus Creed clone as it lacks the pineapple and florals. Additionally, it’s less smoky and woodsy. Nevertheless, the woody 2019 fragrance bears a remarkably close resemblance.

The similarity between the two scents strikes you at the opening. However, the Montblanc Explorer opening offers a slight twist by combining the sharp, spicy, aromatic, and citrusy notes of green Italian bergamot with a dry but robust Haitian vetiver. Also, as the fragrance dries down, it gives off ambroxan accents that are slightly different from Creed’s ambergris.

Montblanc Explorer exudes an aura of bold exploration and adventure. It exudes a designer vibe and smells like a niche perfume. Wear it to work, and you are sure to make a statement with this crowd pleaser.

Insurrection II Pure By Reyane Tradition Review

Insurrection II Pure can be described as a woody aromatic. This smooth, fruity formulation sports an aroma that closely resembles Aventus Creed though it lacks Aventus’ signature ambergris. It was introduced in 2013.

Boasting a much fruitier kick-off than most Aventus dupes, Insurrection II delivers a well-balanced mix of the fruity-smoky essences. That said, the delicious-smelling scent is an excellent fragrance in its own right.

This scent has a moderate sillage and performance, making it more of an Aventus-inspired cologne than a copycat. That said, it smells divine from start to finish and comes at a great price, so you can reapply as often as you wish. If you’re an Aventus fan, you can’t go wrong with Insurrection II Pure cologne. It makes an excellent daily scent too.

L’Aventure By Al Haramain Review

If you are in search of a cologne similar to Creed Aventus and not too hung up on it being an exact copy, then go for L’Aventure. This chypre fruity composition came out in 2016.

L’Aventure By Al Haramain blasts open in a zesty punch, followed by a floral-woodsy heart and ending in a sweet, ambery-musky base. Sound familiar?

This scent is sweeter and much heavier on the citrus, and the smokey wood accents are less robust here than in the Creed. Yet, it’s a decent duplicate. The drydown is also nice and woody, with the patchouli quite prominent.

Warm, vibrant, and oozing sparkle and adventure, L’Aventure will transform your world. Longevity averages 5-6 hours, but the price is just right.

Mercedes-Benz Select Review

Mercedes-Benz Select Eau de Toilette is a luxurious men’s fragrance that was introduced in 2018. Like the iconic car it’s named after, the scent evokes an aura of deep masculinity and classic elegance and is designed for the charismatic male.

The French perfumer par excellence Olivier Cresp designed this masterpiece by blending light, carefully selected, and high-quality ingredients with enduring accords.

The perfume’s olfactory profile is both distinctive and legendary, boasting fresh and fruity notes from bergamot and blackcurrant, accompanied by an aromatic peppermint heart with hints of apple. As for the base, it’s a heady mix of ambroxan, musk, and patchouli that leaves behind an enticing earthy-musky trail.

Of all the colognes similar to Creed Aventus, this is the most exciting. But does it smell like Aventus? Most certainly!

And while it’s much fruitier than Aventus (the opening is like a punch of fruity citrus), it has the most adorable aroma, a decent performance, and is way more affordable.

So, if you are an Aventus Creed enthusiast on a budget, go for Mercedes-Benz Select. Besides, wearing this decadent fragrance is guaranteed to infuse you with a feeling of charisma and sophisticated luxury all day long. Win-win!
