Perfumer's Choice Milton-Lloyd No 9 Victor - Cologne for Men - Aromatic Fougere Fragrances - Mens Cologne - Long Lasting Perfume for Men - 1.7 oz

smells amazing and lasts for hours… I always get compliments when I wear it

You can’t beat what you get for the price. It smells like a watered down version of Creed A. And watered down is a bit harsh. It actually smell like Creed A. It does the job for any occasion and you can’t beat the price. I use this as an everyday wearer instead of having to use my expensive stuff. You won’t be disappointed at all. One of the best purchases I have made all year. It smell sweet and a bit Smokey like Creed and lasts very long. I get about 8-10 hours. It projects well for the first 3 hours. Listen. Don’t think about it. At this price, just get it. I guarantee you, you will be pleasantly surprised. Just as I was.

Rating Victor no9 on its own merit, it is a fine fragrance. Yes, it has its flaws and should really have never been compared to Aventus, but at this point, it is what it is. For the price point (~$10), it (eventually) smells quite nice and performs alright, too, usually lasting me a 6-8 hour shift, especially in the summer. The sprayer is more like a bodyspray "mist" instead of the typical perfume "spritz" though and the stuff expires pretty quickly (only 1 year after being bottled apparently). That said, again at this price point, I can't really complain. In my opinion, there are 2 main reasons why people downrate this fragrance 1) It is not Aventus You can't really compare this to the real Aventus. Milton Lloyd does not even advertise this as a clone; it's all the aftermarket reviewers and influencers. Yes, it is of a somewhat similar profile with the citrus opening and musky/vanilla/mossy dry down. If you think a $10 synthetic fragrance can compare to a designer fragrance with quality ingredients that goes for hundreds of dollars, you are setting yourself up for massive disappointment. I sprayed Victor no9 on one wrist and put Aventus on the other. While Victor no9 does dry down to a very pleasant fragrance, it does not make me want to keep smelling my wrist with the lush/ripe pineapple like Aventus. Victor no9 can smell highly synthetic, too, especially as it dries down, which leads me to the more important point... 2) Does not smell great immediately like other perfumes This fragrance takes awhile to really settle into itself. Like over half an hour at least. It really develops and smells quite nice, but at first, the opening is incredibly citrus-y (hence the Lemon Pledge comments). Also, the mid-range as it dries down is not very appealing, I'm guessing due to the synthetic nature, and can be off-putting and even obnoxious. This was one of the first fragrances I bought (blind) off of Amazon and while I have somewhat outgrown it now in favor of more quality juices, it still holds fond memories and has delivered me many compliments. For a younger person on a budget or someone looking for something cheap you can take somewhere on the go, this would be a good option. Just don't expect miracles!

You get what you pay for here. It's a cheap body spray style cologne (continuous spray, not puffs like normal cologne). Is it bad? No. Does it live in the same zip code as Aventus? No. Maybe it drove through one time and got closer enough to the real Aventus to pick up a note here and there, but calling it a clone is an insult to clones (and that's saying something). I wore Aventus OG yesterday so it is FRESH on my mind, and it ain't this. Side note: I'm female, and Aventus works just fine as a unisex, especially if you prefer not to smell like grandma, powder, or candy dipped in flowers. I've found most Creed products work fine for me no matter the gender of their target audience. This is slightly less unisex friendly, but not ridiculously so. I'm still giving it away, mind you. I have no idea what's up with folks who think it's Aventus. Noses flat busted? Maybe. Batch variations in the cheaper stuff? Feasible. Batch variations in Creed? Unlikely - they don't vary THIS much. Never actually smelled real Aventus? I'm not pointing fingers. Wore plenty of Aventus but it's been awhile? Could be. Confusing "Aventus" with "Aventus Cologne"? Also possible. These are two VERY different Creed products and if I ever get the chance I'm going to kick Oliver in the shins for that naming nonsense. They're as alike as any other fragrance with variants: not at all. I've never used Aventus Cologne, so it may well she'll like that one. As far as Aventus original, King of fragrance, best of the best (not really my opinion - GIT is the GOAT, and if you know, you know)? HAAAAARD no. Yes, it smells something like Irish Spring, more so than Aventus. Not offensively, but Irish Spring doesn't offend me. All that said, for the price, it'll do. It *is* far superior to Axe et. al, for not terribly much more money, so if you've got an adolescent getting done fragrance chops, this is a much better training spray. As for my adult self, dollar for dollar, Creed is still the clear winner.

Great smelling cologne.

Let’s say that you found this fragrance because somebody somewhere had the audacity to compare it to Creed Aventus. You may think, “An ultra-cheap comparable version of Aventus? Sign me up!” Perish that thought. And question every recommendation that person makes about everything from now, on. This is flea market cologne. If you like flea market cologne and prefer a life of loneliness, you’ll love that this fragrance simply will not fade away. If you try a little spray of it in the morning to see how it works, everyone you interact with will ask you to quarantine two counties away until the scent blessedly fades away, and you’ll have a full day to be all to yourself. Take a look at the packaging. It’s a warning. Nature sends signals that say, “Do Not Get Near Me”. Much like a poisonous frog, this is packaged in black and green. Heed that warning.

This stuff is amazing! I applied to my arms and neck around 9am and i've been working stock since 2pm. It is currently 7pm and I am STILL getting wiffs of this cologne. This is my first ever "eua de parfum" and I had no idea scents could possibly last this long. 10 hours and I'm still able to smell it as I type this review from the toilet at work. If you like Masculino then you'll like this a lot more because it smells pretty similar but it is a lot more tame and mature. Super solid product and definitely not a fake that I see a lot of reviews mention about other colognes sold on Amazon.

This is by far the best Aventus clone I have ever tried and I've tried almost a dozen different ones. There is no distinguishable difference between this scent and the actual Aventus. It doesn't last as long, maybe 5 hours tops but hey, for less than ten dollars how can you possibly go wrong?

have used it before — it’s a very good, superb perfume. When I use this perfume and go out with my friends, they often ask me which one it is. I recommend it to them as well. I feel that this perfume lasts for a long time. 😊 also use another perfume from the same company, but I like this one more. 😊

Su salida es un poco sintética, pero en menos de un minuto se empieza a percibir su delicioso aroma. Duración de 5 a 6 horas y proyección de 2 a 3. Muy buena relación calidad-precio, definitivamente es una excelente fragancia para primavera-verano.

Very good value for money

Me gusta esta colonia relación calidad precio está muy bien por 10€, es un clon de no se cual sera la original , pero huele muy bien, el chorro es generoso aplicar muy suavemente porque parece una manguera a presión no está bien dosificada. es una marca que hace imitaciones de otras marcas, relación precio estupenda mejor que las genéricas de supermercados y farmacias y mejor precio esta es la más cara, hay otras por 5€ y son 100 ml.
