UPDATE
Since first posting, I've explored Aventus on Basenotes and have come to realise that this is nothing to do with fragrance at all but is, in fact, a religious cult, complete with a variety of sub-sects, presided over by a mysterious figure known as 'The Grand Pineapple'. I suspect you have to wear a saffron robe and chant while using it, as well.
Many thanks for all your informative comments here.
@Benz3ne has kindly offered to send me a sample of the Mr Perfume clone. I have thanked him personally, and take the opportunity to do so publicly here.

Many thanks to everyone who responded to my earlier question on Creed Original Vetiver. I eventually went down the sample route, and found it not really to my liking.
So the search for next spring/summer fragrance continues, and I'm looking at Aventus.
I understand that something of a cult has grown up around this scent, and that it smells of apples and pears...but that's about it.
Reading through previous posts, I also gather that there are pretty good clones out there. But can anyone fill me in on the real deal?
Thanks Gents!
