Milton-Lloyd Perfumer's Choice Phoenix - Floral Woody Amber Perfume for Men and Women - Long Lasting - 1.7 oz

Absolutely! Here’s a sample review you can use or modify: I recently tried this cologne and was genuinely impressed. The scent is both fresh and sophisticated, with an appealing blend of upbeat and citrus notes that last throughout the day without being overpowering. Every time I wear it, I get compliments and feel more confident. No bad skin reactions. The bottle itself looks elegant on my shelf, adding a touch of class. I noticed on opening that it's package was secured to reduced the chance of any spillage or damage. Theirs a noticable weight to the glass bottle that makes it feel of quality. You also get a value for your money considering some brands go up to $100 on something of similar size. I highly recommend this fragrance to anyone looking for a signature scent that’s versatile for any occasion.

Very well packaged, smells wonderful. Quick shipping. Long lasting scent!!

I have two full original bottles, various decants and multiple samples from the Boutique from 4 different batches of Aventus, so I have smelled the real thing with some of its batch variations. Just mentioned that to let know that I know the real thing. I purchased this fragance ( Victor No9 ) because prior to acquiring the real thing, I was looking into the Aventus clones and this one showed as the #1 clone in the opinion of one fragrance "guy" over the internet. His reasoning was that it was the cheapest that smelled the closest to Aventus. I agree that it is the cheapest, but it is definitely not the closest, I will say it is around 80% to 85% Aventus mostly on the woody dry down because the opening although fruity it is not as sweet as the classic sweet pineapple opening the original has. The opening for this one is rather more citrussy a bit more acidic than Aventus then it dries down to a woody smell that resembles the woody on the original but is not as smoky woody but rather citric sweet woody. The company that produces this fragrance is actually based in London and I saw it when I visited that city last summer. That is why I picked it up as the fragrance guy recommended it and I recalled seeing the company over there so I figured that a London based fragrance company cant be that bad. I can say that for the price is a decent pick up, I totally understand the people that said it smells synthetic, but come on, it is just $15 what you expect real Aventus quality??? as the title of my review says, it is an Aventus inspired smell the longevity is decent, around 6 hours, projects very nice for the first hour then it becomes more of a skin scent after that although it actually leaves a trail in the air, which is different than projection, for around the 6 hours it lasts. Right now I use it as for going out and do errands for the house and for going to family and friends casual nothing special weekend thing gatherings. Maybe can be used for daily work but I prefer other fragrance for the office. The value proposition for it is decent and is so cheap that if you dont like it you didnt lose that much but if you do like it you will feel like you found a gem. Just a note on its characteristics, yes this is a spray on its delivery, but not like an AXE body spray is just that is different from regular perfumes. The sprayer is continuous so if you leave it pressed it will keep delivering juice which is thicker in consistency than a regular body spray. Overall I will say it is a good pick up for the price if you are into the Aventus scent DNA and want an option for daily use, because unless you are wealthy, it doesnt make sense to use Aventus everyday, it is just too expensive for a fragrance. As for the bottles, decants and samples of the real thing I own I use them for ultra special occasions with my family in which I want to create long lasting memories and smell is the longest lasting sense that our memory recalls so whenever my family smells me in Aventus they remember good days. This one is for daily use as I like the Aventus scent DNA but different enough so my family can tell the difference between the two.

Great smelling cologne.

You get what you pay for here. It's a cheap body spray style cologne (continuous spray, not puffs like normal cologne). Is it bad? No. Does it live in the same zip code as Aventus? No. Maybe it drove through one time and got closer enough to the real Aventus to pick up a note here and there, but calling it a clone is an insult to clones (and that's saying something). I wore Aventus OG yesterday so it is FRESH on my mind, and it ain't this. Side note: I'm female, and Aventus works just fine as a unisex, especially if you prefer not to smell like grandma, powder, or candy dipped in flowers. I've found most Creed products work fine for me no matter the gender of their target audience. This is slightly less unisex friendly, but not ridiculously so. I'm still giving it away, mind you. I have no idea what's up with folks who think it's Aventus. Noses flat busted? Maybe. Batch variations in the cheaper stuff? Feasible. Batch variations in Creed? Unlikely - they don't vary THIS much. Never actually smelled real Aventus? I'm not pointing fingers. Wore plenty of Aventus but it's been awhile? Could be. Confusing "Aventus" with "Aventus Cologne"? Also possible. These are two VERY different Creed products and if I ever get the chance I'm going to kick Oliver in the shins for that naming nonsense. They're as alike as any other fragrance with variants: not at all. I've never used Aventus Cologne, so it may well she'll like that one. As far as Aventus original, King of fragrance, best of the best (not really my opinion - GIT is the GOAT, and if you know, you know)? HAAAAARD no. Yes, it smells something like Irish Spring, more so than Aventus. Not offensively, but Irish Spring doesn't offend me. All that said, for the price, it'll do. It *is* far superior to Axe et. al, for not terribly much more money, so if you've got an adolescent getting done fragrance chops, this is a much better training spray. As for my adult self, dollar for dollar, Creed is still the clear winner.

Excelente perfume, a mi esposo le encanta, y es muy duradero lo recomiendo 100%

Milton Lloyd No 9 Victor opens with a moderate projection of sweet, fruity, and woody smoky accords. The citruses included in this fragrance are evocative of bergamot, sharp, and intense. The fruity accords are evocative of pineapple. The floral notes are a faint accord. The woody notes create a combination of juniper berry and birch smoky accords, they can be described as fruity, fresh woody, slightly citrusy with a pinch of green. As the fragrance dries down, the initial citrus and fruity notes drastically drop their initial projection, leaving the woody and smoky accords lead the fragrance. The musk and vanilla are just a soft touch, without any significant participation. The oakmoss adds a forest-mossy accord that supports the woodsy notes. The most noticeable opening to dry-down changes are the sharp and intense opening fruity accords are noticeable short-live, the fragrance opens with intense fruity accords but in a matter of a minute these accords plummet dissipating almost entirely; towards the dry-down, this is a woody and oakmoss fragrance, also, the initial moderate projection drops to very low. Once, Milton Lloyd, No 9 Victor has reached its full dry-down, it can be summarized as a no projection, skin scent, woody, and smoky fragrance with very distant and faint fruity accords. The fragrance feels faint, low-quality, cheap, disappointing, masculine, poorly blended, slightly smoky, weak, woody, and minimally pleasant. BATCH REVIEWED: 2020 (#DOM201119) WOW RATING: 1/10. Outstanding opening that lasts for less than a minute, completely unimpressive dry-down. What is impressive in this fragrance is how quickly this fragrance losses projection. DISLIKE RATING: 5/10. The dry-down is a very soft woody smoky skin scent, not offensive, but far from pleasant. UNIQUENESS: 1/10. Not unique, woody fragrances are very common. MASS APPEAL: 1/10. This is not a crowd-pleasing fragrance. PROJECTION: 0/10. None. The fragrance reaches its dry-down very fast and it becomes a skin scent. SILLAGE: 0/10. None, the fragrance is a skin scent. APPLICATION: 8 or more atomizations to improve performance. LONGEVITY: 1/10. Extremely low, not even an hour. SEASONS: Spring, summer. OCCASIONS: Formal events, outdoor gatherings, office, business casual, home. VERSATILITY: 0/10. Wearing this fragrance is similar to not wearing any fragrance at all. GENDER: Masculine, the woody, and smoky accords lean it to the masculine side. AGES: Any. RECOMMENDATION: This fragrance can be found discounted for about $12, but its performance is a shame, a disaster, absolutely disappointing. Not recommended. BLIND-BUY: No. SIMILAR: These are some examples of fragrances that feature pineapple as the main accord. Bond No 9 The Scent of Peace for Him is a great one; Dua Fragrances Poseidon's Tux is a clone house with a couple of good fragrances, this is one of them and it features strong pineapple; Creed Aventus of course; Nishane Hacivat Unisex Parfum by Nishane is a powerful pineapple fragrance; Parfums Vintage Pineapple Vintage Intense EDP is another clone house, this version of their Creed Aventus clone favors pineapple over the smoky notes; Roja Parfums Elysium Cologne Parfum Spray for Men is another niche quality pineapple, fruity and woody fragrance; Armaf Club De Nuit Intense EDT is an affordable and good Creed Aventus clone; finally and of course, Creed Aventus, Tiziana Terenzi is a pineapple, soft incense and dry wood fragrance, very good; Afnan Supremacy Silver is good a slightly sweet, pineapple, black currant, and birch (woody, smoky) fragrance. SUMMARY: A no projection, skin scent, woody, and smoky fragrance with very distant and faint fruity accords. The fragrance feels faint, low-quality, cheap, disappointing, masculine, poorly blended, slightly smoky, weak, woody, and minimally pleasant.

For anyone curious about the Milton-Lloyd No. 9 Victor, I just received mine today. My immediate thought? It smells like a Hollister store! The resemblance is uncanny. This is VERY fragrant so you don’t have to use very much…. .Unless of course you intend to go full-Hollister and over-do it the way they tend to. 😬 I bought this to use as a room scent so it’s perfect for my purposes. If you're a fan of that popular clean, musky, and slightly aquatic fragrance but want a super affordable alternative, this is definitely worth trying This came nicely packaged in a frosted translucent plastic box and could work well as a gift also.
