Thanks Chris, good review, I think I would still like to get my nose on it but if I am honest, I am underwhelmed already, lol. That is the biggest problem with flankers when the original is so good and the bar has been set so high. Also when you have so many good memories from an original it’s hard to compete. Nothing is more memorable than a smell.

Just got my sample. It opens up as a CH Men clone, and as it dries down you get nuances of PdM Pegasus and Versace Eros. It smells very familiar, that's the overwhelming theme. You've smelled this before and that's a bummer. I like it, I won't poo poo it but it could've been so much more. Aviator should have aspects of leather and jet fuel like Chris said. It should be fast and loud and confident like Maverick in Top Gun. All that while including the Le Male DNA? Wow, that sounds like my dream fragrance...
