I ordered some samples from microperfumes before ordering a full bottle on a previous SD post. I've read reviews on reddit that there are better places to order samples like DecantX or Scent Split, but my experience with microperfumes was good but next time I'll probably try both DecantX or Scent Split. I've heard of similarities of GIT and Cool Water but I've never tried CW and some people say they are completely different.

You're spot on. I don't know why people are thumbing you down. All these clones smell harsh and synthetic. They're nowhere close to the real deal. I have tried almost all the clones and they're a waste of money. Some of them give me a headache.
If it got a lot of TDs it's because almost nobody agrees with this. From other fragrance forums the pattern is obvious - rage posting about Aventus clones, especially CDNIM, is just venting over grossly overpaying for something that could be had for 1/8 the cost and in return getting nothing additional except a bottle that nobody sees and zero change in social standing or personal appeal.

One thing I have learned is, get a cheaper original but get an original. There are some cheap originals which are quite good. Instead of buying these clones
Most luxury department stores like Neiman Marcus or Bloomingdale's will carry them if you want to try. Have gotten many compliments when I use Aventus.
Armaf Club De Nuit Intense Man is supposedly a good dupe for Aventus but I haven't tried it.
I have the Dupe version and it's great 6.6 oz for $70

Or he could have his own opinion and think it really does smell like lemon pledge. If you wear it and like it and feel it's worth what you spent, then you win.

I've had 3 bottles of Aventus, the reformulations are weak, it's so bad that it's like a poor clone of Armaf Club De Nuit Intense Man which is $35 and lasts all day.

I've spent a lot of time researching the differences. And basically from what I learned the only differences is in the upper notes...which last 30 or so minutes in both ARMAF and Aventus?
So yeah, armafs upper note is synthetic and lemony and not as complex as aventus. But if you are a single dude it literally doesn't matter because chances are the upper is gone before the cologne will really matter
I wore ARMAF for a year straight and I literally had several girls I was seeing who couldn't stop commenting on how much they loved it on top of more compliments than I've probably gotten from any other scent. Including a lot of the ones often touted as compliment getters like Issy Miyake, cool water, etc.
No desire to try the real deal with results like that.
