Opulence 17

Opulence 17 is The Parfum Hub's version of Creed Aventus (2010), arguably the most cloned masculine fragrance of the last fifteen years and the benchmark every 'smoky pineapple' dupe is measured against. The pyramid hits the expected beats: lemon, pink pepper, apple, bergamot and blackcurrant open bright and fruity, pineapple, jasmine and patchouli carry a sweet-smoky heart, and birch, ambergris, cedarwood, oakmoss and musk close on Aventus's signature smoky-woody base. The pineapple-birch combination up top is the part most dupes get right and this one is no exception - it's a recognisable, wearable echo of the original's opening. The smoky depth that gives real Aventus its lasting reputation is thinner here, and the eight-to-ten-hour skin longevity many reviewers report on the original isn't matched. A fun, affordable way to wear the pineapple-smoke idea that made Aventus a cultural phenomenon, without the three-figure price tag.
