I haven’t put my nose on the original Aventus Absolu so can’t compare however from what I hear they are extremely close. Taking the scent at face value though, this is simply amazing and one of the best I have smelt from PP. A little deeper and darker than Aventus itself but still has the fruity qualities that it is known for. Got great projection too and not many sprays are needed. Well done PP, you have knocked it out of the park here.
