I am not familiar with Avobath to compare, but this fragrance is wonderful. It smells like lemongrass with a peppery undertone. Used it in hot process soap and it behaved well. It is still strong smelling in the soap after a month. This will definitely be a staple in my fragrance oil stash, and I intend to use it rather than lemongrass EO,as it holds its scent longer and is not as expensive.
