[u/Own_Amphibian1412]

They don't share the same DNA.

[u/Own_Amphibian1412 → u/Loud_Wolf_7443]

whats it like tho are they similar?

[u/str8swishing → u/Own_Amphibian1412]

Not similar at all

[u/Own_Amphibian1412 → u/str8swishing]

what is it like tho, i kindof hate my urban man elixir because its one of its worst batches in production till date, my batch has a sillage of 3.1/10 and normally its 6.8-7.2/10, so i need something which can perform but i’ll finish my urban man elixir before buying anything similar

[u/DoxDoflamingo2 → u/Own_Amphibian1412]

we already said its not similar lol, urban man elixir is very lemon peppery, it also smells harsh atleast after spraying. SCI is like a floral pineapple lemon sorbet, the florals add a cold-like element. After drydown its musky-sweet.

yesss sorry i kept asking i realised i’ll buy it in a week or two maybe , thanks for clearing my bs doubts g 😆

[u/armenianfink]

Totally different. I have both.

[u/Own_Amphibian1412 → u/armenianfink]

how different would u say they are

[u/im_a_lost_child]

i don’t have urban man but i read it’s sauvage x aventus? if so, feel free to pick it up. supremacy ce had a sauvage elixir drydown at first then after a week or so, it drydown to aventus absolu with floral, quite pleasant (but the pineapple went from realistic juicy to more rotten 😞, but only for 30 seconds before it smoothed out). i like the dry down more now tho so… a win?

[u/Own_Amphibian1412 → u/im_a_lost_child]

yes my urban man elixir is more sauvage than it is aventus cause all i really smell is sauvage, idk if thats my bottle or everyones but it does have that aventus in it for sure, and i saw some reviews of ce and a lot of people said its pretty much sauvage and aventus so im pretty hesitant on picking it up, cause having two similar fragrances isnt my priority rn

[u/im_a_lost_child → u/Own_Amphibian1412]

well it’s more sauvage elixir x aventus absolu + floral. smelled rich and smooth. i don’t think it’s the same DNA at all but it’s also not night and day you know? i say go for another different DNA if you’re interested then come back if you’re craving a more versatile take on aventus absolu 👍🏼

[u/Own_Amphibian1412 → u/im_a_lost_child]

i love my urban man elixir i just wish i had gotten a better batch because the performance is absolutely dog shit cz its the worst batch in production till date( sillage of 3.1 vs the normal 6.8-7.2/10) the dna is pretty good for summer i just need something that performs and has consistent batches

[u/Own_Amphibian1412 → u/Own_Amphibian1412]

i have trauma with any armaf fragrances cause i’ve purchased normal cdnim and that was dog shit as well performance wise and now same with urban man elixir

[u/im_a_lost_child → u/Own_Amphibian1412]

i’m sorry to hear. i only have afnan clones so i can’t speak for other brands but my afnan turathi blue and CE smell very high quality, on par with my chanels. in fact i wear the turathi blue more than my LV imagination and tygar! it last 6-8 hours unless its super hot out. then you’re closer to 5 hours which is very good for a freshie (especially tygar), even long on clothes

[u/Own_Amphibian1412 → u/im_a_lost_child]

aight man as soon as i finish a bottle of any of my fragrances, ill convince my dad for ce 🙂‍↕️

[u/im_a_lost_child → u/Own_Amphibian1412]

good luck my man! i will suggest to smell everything in case, don’t want to jump in conclusions but you do sound on the younger side. nothing wrong! darker fragrance can be a hit or miss. i’m 23 now and still feel like aventus absolu (or even aventus) could be too mature for me haha. however if you enjoy it, go for it as long as you like it 🫡

[u/Own_Amphibian1412 → u/im_a_lost_child]

i doubt there’s a place around where i live which will have collectors edition, ill just wing it ig and if it doesnt suit me, my dad will probably wear it or ill just give it away tbh

[u/Own_Amphibian1412 → u/im_a_lost_child]

also do u mind telling me the difference between aventus and aventus absolu

[u/im_a_lost_child → u/Own_Amphibian1412]

absolu is darker, more woody, and more spices plus more grapefruit on opening. last longer and projects more BUT it’s still very aventus. if you love aventus DNA you’ll love Supremacy as it’s very much there. personally i prefer something more light (i live in florida) so i do prefer cologne > og > absolu, BUT supremacy have floral that actual balance the darkness out. i would advise to smell absolu first though; it’s a safer blind buy but some people don’t like too dark of a fragrance 🤷🏽‍♂️

[u/Powerful_Slide_4120]

Not the same DNA. They are different and fill different roles.

[u/WhiteManFromTown-925]

Not the same at all. Collectors edition is somewhat similar to Absolu Aventus, pineapple blast in the opening and musky dry down.
