Creed Aventus Clones....

Got into Debenhams today so had a chance to compare what I'm wearing with TF Black Orchid. Both the missus and I agreed that Oud 24H is a dead ringer for Black Orchid but she said that she found the TF feminine but not so the Oud 24H. Neither of us can figure out how it can be so close but apparently clearly gender-defined.

So if you fancy Oud 24 Hours, think of it as 'Black Orchid for Men'.

For those who haven't seen this thread, watch grown men turn into 'Attar-heads' before your very eyes!

Most if not all western style fragrances have diffrenet alcohol in them. The alcohol in western scents for men are normally at a higher percentage and the perfume oils far less. ie your more likely to find AS EDC, AND EDT in men's scents in the west, they love a EDP and pure oils in Arab counties. The alcohol in the scents will evaporate and carry the perfume oil within the fragrances so it can be smelt. Middle eastern, Saudi, UAE fragrances such as the ones we've been talking about here use a higher percentage of perfume oil to also lessen the amount of alcohol( alcohol use being forbidden in Islam they try to steer clear unless really necessary even in other uses)
So less and different alcohol leaves a need for another way to make the scent airborne. And thus the attar oils they use evaporate well on warm skin. Pulse point especially. Think back to images of ladies spraying their wrists neck and even behind their knees lol. Women's fragrances of EDP have the higher perfume oils as well so the heat of the skin acts as an evaporator.

Behind their knees! Ha, well I could see it being a very good place to spray a scent if you was a woman :)
 
I'd happened to order some Fine Platinum AS, when I stumbled upon this thread. I'd heard of Creed, but didn't know what it was. However, the Platinum smelt familiar and really liked it, so I think I must have smelt it before.

Just ordered some L'Aventure on the strength of this thread. Thanks chaps.
