Just an FYI but the Lomani can be had on eBay for $20, Amazon for $21. Probably blind buy worthy at those prices.
Like Creed Aventus?

I'm not too far from there. I think the wife and I may make a date night out of checking out some scents. It's been a very long time since I've worn anything other than aftershave.
Club de Nuit Intense Man is great. I love it, and paid about $25. I would never buy Aventus for $157 (just my opinion). Too much of a chance of getting fake stuff at that price.
It's as close to Aventus as I'm going to get.
Well. I DO have an Aventus sample; I use it as a baseline for comparing others.

I agree with the Club de Nuit Intense Man. It's about 80ish% Aventus and actually does smell quite good on it's own merits. I'm glad I picked it up on one of the downswings in price.
I've had the Lomani for awhile and really like it; it seems a bit smokier than the batch of Aventus I have. For those wanting to give Aventus a spin, I'd suggest heading over to Fragsplits or Fragdecants on Reddit. Aventus splits are popular and go down fairly regularly. The last one I participated in was $48 for 25mL (I think 10mL was $23), and unless you're spraying it every day, it will last you quite some time.
while at one of the perfume counters at the flea market today, the clerk suggested i try insurrection II.
it was a really close knockoff to Creed Aventus. Smelled great! Almost same opening, all the middle notes, perhaps not quite as much brightness.
She claimed that it had staying power.
I did not price it and passed it up, but indeed did use my authentic Aventus for nice shave later in the day!

thanks, could not find the item, can you recall the price?
You need to try Armaf Club de Nuit Intense Man. It is the closest thing to Aventus I've encountered in terms of both smell and performance.

Just noticed this topic has made it's way back,forgot to come back to update my original post.Took everyones advice and picked up a bottle of CdN Intense Man a while back.It is a fantastic scent,thumbs up from the wife as well,so thats a plus.Was worried when I first used it,on my skin it had a straight up cinnamon smell for about 5 minutes.But it dried down to a very close version of Aventus IIRC.Very good staying power as well.
I went on the Aventus clone hunt last year, and tried just about all of the clones mentioned. CdN by far was the closest, and has the best longevity. Lomani on my skin smelled like metal and pepper mixed in a bad way. Insurrection was good, but not close to Aventus overall. Much sweeter. I just picked up my second bottle of Aventus in Vegas at the Creed store in Caesar's Palace Forum Shops last month and this batch seems to match the CdN a bit better than my last. I like some of the other Armaf offerings too as they seem to use better quality ingredients for a reasonable price. Their Bleu de Chanel clone is another solid performer, especially for the +/- $25 price tag.
Club de Nuit Intense Man. Woman at the coffee shop today asked me if I was wearing Aventus.
Hey guys,I am looking for a scent in the same category as Creed's Aventus......deal is just not in my budget.....Much appreciated folks
OK, here's the deal. I found a "fraghead" (I guess that's what they call themselves) who owns Creed Aventus and he swears that even Aventus wearers won't be able to tell the different. I've bought both colognes and followed his instructions and I gotta say it's fresh great scent. I say that because I've never sampled Creed Aventus so I'm offering my nose based on what I blended, and I like it, the Wife likes it. Pick up a bottle of Club de Nuit cologne (black bottle with dice looking top) and pick up one bottle of Demeter Pineapple cologne. Total cost for both should be around $65. Buy a travel sprayer from Sophera for like $18. Follow directions for the travel sprayer and mix 60% Club de Nuit and 40% Pineapple. Shake and have a go at it. After my first mix I revised and went 70/30 mixture. Hope you like it as much as I have.

You might want to try Wickhams Classic 24 shaving soap. Its addictive so be warned! 
According to youtube video he said it's missing that sweet fresh note opening of pineapple. Nice thing about blending is you have CdN and demeter Pineapple so you can blend, or use each sole. The pineapple is exactly that pineapple and is fresh.
