Which Should You Buy?
If you're after a smoky Aventus-a-like and your budget is tight, Al Dur Al Maknoon Silver serves up a divisive, fiercely smoky take on the popular DNA. It's affordable, but beware of its performance struggles and the strong ashtray vibe some punters get.
This one's a divisive Aventus 'inspiration'; some love its smoky, rounded take on the fruity-woody DNA, others sniff a synthetic mess. Performance is patchy, so try before you buy - seriously.
