  • Brush: Wild West Brushworks Deep Pearl 26mm Sweet Spot Badger
  • Razor: Thiers Issard Le Transatlantic 7/8" Full Hollow Round Point

  • Lather: Ethos Grooming Essentials - Succès - Soap

  • Post Shave: Ethos Grooming Essentials - Succès Skin Food - Splash
  • Post Shave: Thayers - Rose - Toner
  • Fragrance: Creed - Aventus
  • Talc: Yardley Classic
     

I was interested in trying Aventus dupes a couple of years ago. I tried a number of samples and actually bought tubs of some of them. Of the ones I have, I think Succès is the best. I doubt that it is note-for-note accurate but, to me, it has the best feeling of high-key freshness that real Aventus has.

Here is my artist's rendering of the cover.
