    I got 5 x100 ml bottles for $50 each from my local store. They all have the same batch 03N51N311 is it ok? I also noticed after a week the smell doesn't last long. On clothes I can smell it after 2-3 days, but on my skin I can't smell it after 1 hour. Maybe because of the heat, it is 33 celsius (99+ fahrenheit). I have Dior Sauvage Elixir and it is the beast of longevity.

    Went to the fragrance store to try it on skin just after you posted this. It’s been 10 hours since I put less than a half spray on my hand, and I still get whifs of it. It is, indeed, “aventusy”, but to my nose veeery different from all those clones I had an opportunity to try (and was not a fan of). Like it a lot, might get a bottle at some point. P. S. I also tried Brioni EDP (loved that one), and find them pretty complementing, very nice.

    @@ChadSecrets I appreciate it, but will you feel the same when I say my 2nd empty is going to be cdnim edt in all it's lemony glory? Joking aside, here's an interesting observation... I have a decant of aventus and a hundo ml and, either both F or E and F respectively, neither has any smokiness, so to me, Explorer is in the dupe category more than inspired by or twist. I heard someone say it was like "modern Aventus" and I can jive with that. But if my first sniff was anything like the smoky clones, I'd say inspired by more than clone, and also I'd be salty at the changes in the scent over the years lol.
