Which Should You Buy?
Possibly the best ultra-budget Aventus-inspired fragrance, Victor No.9 delivers a vibrant fruity-citrus burst over smoky woods and moss. Not the richest or most natural, but unbeatable value and crowd-pleasing versatility.
Cedrat Boise is a deeply divisive fruity-woody fragrance. For some, it's a versatile beast with a stunning dry down, for others, it's a scrubber smelling of burnt rubber, ashtrays or cleaning products. Definitely sample first.

Season and Occasion Fit
Seasons
The juicy citrus and fruity opening makes it ideal for spring and early summer, while the woody, mossy drydown adds enough depth for fall. It can be worn in winter, though it may lack the heft for cold nights.
Occasions
Its mass-appealing, fresh and fruity character makes it perfect for casual, office, date, and gym wear. Projection is moderate and not cloying, so it's safe for most settings. Less suitable for highly formal occasions.
Seasons
Versatile across every season - no clear seasonal preference from wearers.
Occasions
Its strong projection and unique, sometimes challenging scent profile make it less ideal for a formal office setting. However, its versatile nature and compliment-getting ability, particularly on dates and for casual wear, shine through in the reviews.
