Up close you will tell them apart. However I feel most won't be able to when you're out in public and they smell it on you, walking by someone. It feels updated where they took something I didn't like about the standard L'Aventure and improved on it as that was a huge reason I never bothered buying my own bottle of L'Aventure was the sourness up close. Even if my brother didn't bathe in two 100ml bottles of the standard version over the past 5 years and it wasn't a new fragrance sort of excitement I'd still prefer intense.

longevity and projection felt about the same. To me it's like L'Aventure 2 or something. I would not buy this expecting double the performance of an already beast mode (to me anyways) fragrance.

Is it worth owning both? I'd say no

.. my bottle is extremely weak… it lasts two hours and then completely disappears. Also, on the Al Haramain website, the “intense” lettering is black letters. Mine is a black plaque with white lettering on top. I truly hope this is not a fake. If it’s legit it should macerate and get better as reviews I’ve read say this is the best and strongest longest lasting aventus dupe. We’ll see..

Gave this to my brother in-law and in the air while he wears it, it is amazing. I sampled aventus absolu at a niche fragrance shop yesterday and that $600+ did not smelll is pleasant as his wearing of levanture intense. I’m realizing now how different colognes smell on different skins and how overpriced these so called niche brands really are.

Smells similar to Creed Aventus
Good quality and good presentation
I use it for gym

The Al Haramain L'aventure Intense is a perfect and cheaper alternative to the very expensive Creed Aventus. The longevity is better than Creed, particularly the Intense version. Moreover, my nose cannot differentiate the scent between Creed and this.
