MAISON ASRAR Vanguard is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2025. Vanguard opens with Bergamot, Grapefruit, Pink Pepper, and Apple, settles into a heart of Lily Of The Valley, Carnation, Cardamom, and Ginger, and dries down to a base of Musk, Leather, Cedar, and Oakmoss. MAISON ASRAR's Vanguard carries a Favourite verdict, a fruity-led wear.

This much-hyped clone of Aventus Absolu is a divisive beast. Some swear it's a 1:1 dupe, praising its smooth blend and impressive performance for the price. Others blast it for poor longevity, synthetic notes, and falling short of the original. Try before you buy, but expect a vibrant, fruity-woody affair.

About

Vanguard punches hard with a vibrant, juicy opening of blackcurrant, pineapple, and crisp apple, brightened by zesty bergamot and grapefruit with a hint of pink pepper. The heart introduces a sophisticated warmth with spicy ginger and cardamom alongside delicate lily of the valley. It settles into a rich, masculine base where smooth leather, earthy oakmoss, and deep musk intertwine with cedar and a touch of ambergris, creating a powerful, lasting trail.
