  • Urban Man Elixir is the Sauvage/Aventus hybrid clone.

  • I have both of them and prefer Urban Man Elixir, has a mixture of the lemon opening of Club de Nuit clone from Aventus and Sauvage, be careful in spraying it because it lasts forever.

  • Urban man elixir smells like a sweeter version of Sauvage with a hint of Aventus in the opening, it doesn’t smell bad at all, but I personally don’t like it, I like to keep those two scents separate.

  • Reminds me of people who say Armaf CDN Urban Man Elixir smells like Creed Aventus when its a clear Sauvage dupe.

    A Reddit comment, Apr 2025, 1 point

  • Urban Man Elixir is a clone of both Sauvage and Creed’s Aventus, which probably explains why it has an odd smelling opening which I do kind of agree with it.

    A Reddit comment, Aug 2026, 1 point
