I found impression scent oils of Aventus and Green Irish Tweed by "Quality Fragrance Oils" on amazon and the reviews all seem to be awesome and the price is reasonable. Does anyone have any personal experience with this brand?

IME, the vast majority of these guys are selling bulk Suratti product relabeled to their own name/price band.

Suratti do a vast range of smell-alikes that are often OK for short term wear but nearly all I've tried eventually reveal themselves by degrading to a rather sweaty white musk base after a few hours.

I second that recommendation.

How close is The Fragrance Shop's Aventus / green irish tweed to the real thing? Depending on price I may be interested in Million so if anyone can comment on that as well. Much appreciated Snoop & Jinzo

Personally, I've found both to be as close as an oil can come to recreating a scent that is alcohol based. I get MANY compliments on my Aventus and when I had GIT I also got a lot of compliments from that as well.

I can absolutely vouch for TFS's version of Creed Millesime Imperial, since I've used it and also have the real deal. Don't know about their other Creeds, but they also hit a home run for me in their version of Tom Ford Tobacco Vanille.

Hi,

I have been using TFS oils for a couple of years and I am mostly satisfied. The Creeds that I used, namely Aventus and GIT are about 75 - 80 % in emulating the original. Their version of Aventus skipped the incense/smokey vibe of the original in the opening notes. However, that isn't really an issue except for the most picky; most men/women will not notice this.

One of their dupes, namely YSL Kouros actually may be slightly stronger than the current watered down designer still on the market. TFS Kouros still retains the fecal notes from earlier versions of Kouros circa 80s/90s. TFS is probably even 'dirtier' in this respect.

Unfortunately, not all of their dupes are close, e.g., their version of Quorum doesn't even come close. Though I have to check some of their others out.

I have a different oil version of Aventus which is really close (though still it lacks the opening smoky notes) that lasts longer than the TFS version. I think that it is actually cheaper than TFS. It comes in a roll-on. I purchased it here:
