The best men's fragrance dupes
The most complimented men's fragrances are also some of the most expensive, Aventus, Sauvage Elixir, Oud Wood. The good news: the men's dupe scene is the most mature there is, because the compliment-getters are so well studied.
These are the cologne dupes that share the notes that make the originals work, the fresh-fruity Aventus opening, the spicy Sauvage Elixir heart, the sweet Le Male drydown, for a fraction of the counter price.
The top pick is Armaf Club de Nuit Intense Man at $38, a 90% note match for Creed Aventus. As a group these lean cool green shot through with deep brown. All 11 below share their originals' key notes, from $25 instead of designer prices.
