Precieux does smell closer to the OG than CE but that harsh lemon opening (in my opinion) and the value just isn't there for me.

Precieux 1 is another Creed Aventus Absolu clone that is to my nose much much smoother, elegant and better blended than SCE or any other clone that I’ve smelt

I mean I have SCE, Precieux 1 (Creed Aventus Absolu clones) and CDNIM LE seems like the least versatile, because of how serious it smells.
