What Wearers Say
Creed Aventus
One wearer enjoys the airy pineapple-and-green-apple impression and reaches for Aventus most among the alternatives they tried.
One longtime owner particularly loves the woody, musky drydown.
One skin tester finds the pineapple and citrus too dominant, with less depth than they expected.
Some wearers wish it lasted longer on their skin; others report a lasting woody base.
Rasasi Egra
One wearer enjoys the musky woods, oakmoss and forest-like character.
Another wearer prefers Egra’s smell in a personal comparison with Green Irish Tweed.
That second wearer still finds Egra more artificial and less smooth than Green Irish Tweed.
A different owner initially dislikes its sharpness, although they later start to enjoy it.
The Verdict
Aventus is our pick if you came here for pineapple and smoky birch, because Egra has neither. Egra is a forest: violet leaf, juniper, spruce and fir needle, with galbanum's sharp green and a little iris, over ambergris, sandalwood and oakmoss. It's a good green scent in its own right, nearer a pine walk than a fruit bowl. If Aventus is too sweet for you, try it.
