Club De Nuit Intense Man Extrait

I had the EDT many years ago, but it was way too rough/harsh in it’s blend, so it just didn't really jive with me. After hearing so many great reviews about the quality of this current version, I decided to give CDNIM one more try. I was pleasantly surprised to see how much progress has been made since the EDT hit the market. The opening bursts with pineapple, lemon, and bergamot before settling into a smoky, woody heart and a warm, musky-vanilla base. It’s bold, confident, and immediately recognizable. There is no doubt this is part of the Aventus style fragrance DNA line. The performance is excellent - strong projection (2-3 arms lengths), great longevity (12+ hours on my skin), and a scent trail that easily fills a room. It’s best suited for cooler weather or evenings, where it shines with its rich, full character. The bottle and presentation also feel upgraded compared to earlier versions, which adds to the overall value. That said, the Aventus clone wars are becoming extremely fatiguing. While I personally love pineapple in any fragrance, at this point it would be nice to see more creative twists on that familiar formula. This one does manage to stand out slightly with smoother blending and a less abrasive opening, making it a great variation with fantastic performance that still fits comfortably within the CDNIM line. If you enjoy bold, masculine, powerhouse fragrances and don’t mind adding another Aventus-style scent to your collection, this one won’t disappoint. But if you’re hoping for something completely new or unique, you may find it a little too familiar. I found this gem at Burlington for only $39.00, which for a clone of this concentration, ml's, and quality, I'd say it is, a great deal and certainly worth the price! If you are new to collecting or you lack any Aventus style fragrances - this is the version I think is the best to look at.

Got my bottle of CDNIM Extrait in a few days ago and have been testing it side-by-side with both the Limited Edition Parfum and the OG EDT. Wanted to share some thoughts for anyone still trying to figure out which version might be best for them. Right off the rip, that sharp lemon cleaner vibe from the EDT? It's been dialed way down in the Extrait. It’s smoother, more wearable, and honestly just better blended. Where the Limited Edition leans a bit fruitier, the Extrait goes more birch-heavy and earthy, staying closer to the vibe of the original EDT but with a noticeable boost in quality and oil concentration. Honestly? I’m loving it. The Limited Edition is solid, but I think the Extrait might be my favorite of the three. Performance Breakdown: Longevity: Around 9 to 10 hours on my skin. Projection: EDT still blasts off stronger early on, but the Extrait holds its projection much longer, sitting at about arm’s length for 3 to 3.5 hours before it starts to pull in. By hour 7, it’s a strong skin scent, and it fades away completely around hour 9 or 10. Overall: Beats the Limited Edition in longevity by about an hour or so and stays in that noticeable “projecting zone” longer than both. Creed Aventus Comparison: I’ve got a sample of the OG Aventus, and... yeah, I’d never buy a full bottle. The Extrait projects harder, lasts longer (almost twice as long), and by the time it dries down—which is the longest part of the scent’s life—it’s so close to Aventus that I couldn’t justify the price difference. Final Verdict: If you want the fruitier take, go Limited Edition. If you want a refined version of the EDT with stronger performance, get the Extrait. For me? Extrait

Based off first sprays this already is the best club de nuit intense man in the line, hands down. Keep in mind my review is based off scent alone, this smells absolutely gorgeous, specially for the price. Scent is Club de Nuit but of course much denser and richer. The concentration makes wonders for this scent profile and note wise: - This is a balanced batch of Aventus. - Leans about 30% more fruity than smokey. - Amazingly well blended, no note sticks out unlike the edt wich is a musk and pineapple overdose. - Slight bergamot, black currant and leather boost compared to the Limited Edition. - Sweet and dense, more geared towards night time use. - Biggest change is the blend quality and the ambergris quality, plus this one is pumping off of my skin, unlike the LE which sadly had non existant projection. I'm used to ME releases being super expensive (i live in Mexico) and i got this for $35 which is a steal, this would usually go for $70 or more, but since the hype for the line has died down and Precieux has gotten most of the attention, it is dirt cheap as of now. The only big drawback i can think of is that the scent is pretty darn similar to Afnan's Supremacy Not Only Intense, although a bit less mossy and sweet, but pretty close, I'd say 80% similar, CDN Extrait is more woody but the rest is almost the same. If, you can get a better deal on SNOI and you already own the CDN Edt, EDP or LE (even the Extreme), I'd say you should go for the Supremacy extrait. If you don't already have a CDN flanker, go for this one and only this.

Grabbed this up on Jomashop after having a heck of a time finding it. like most, I've tried a number of versions of CDNIM, my favorite being the edp. I have 14 Oz of the stuff ready to go i like it so much. Best compliment puller of the 57 bottles I own. This one gets the closest to Aventus for me, along with the EDP and LE, reviewers typically say that CDN has its own pieces and whatnot that seperate it from the OG, and this is still true here... Basically, this takes the box of fruit loops smell of Aventus, and literally combines it with the smell of CDNIM. Idk how else to put it. The screechy opening is a lot less screechy like the LE version, lots more pineapple mixing with lemon here as well. The biggest upside for me, is that this one performs a lot better than the LE version I bought and then gave away. LE just didn't perform for me as good as even the EDP so I got rid of it. Idk how anyone here is saying this goes less thab 2 hours, or is weak, it is not. 1 spray on the arm is literally insane on me right now after an hour and it shows no signs of getting more tame. All in all this is more a novelty purchase for my collection, or if anything, I'll wear this version on more "fancy" occasions. I have so much pineapple already in my collection (CDNIM EDPx2, Hacivat, MB Explorer, SNOICE) and it clearly seems to be one of my more favorite notes, but this one starts making it feel redundant, the performance is really solid though, so it'll end up being used, just slowly. The best in the line for me, alongside the EDP.

Old batches of Aventus in a bottle. That's pretty much it. The extrait fixes all of the problems of the EDT, and amps up the pineapple, patchouli, and musk. That harsh opening from the edt? It's smooth as butter here. Longevity, sillage, and projection are all immense. This is not a 6-7 spray cologne. I'd say 4-5 max. This will last after a shower, and will stick to your clothes until the next wash. I do love me a performance beast. You can wear this any season, any time, any day - doesn't matter. I have a feeling that this would REALLY shine in high heat, so i cant wait for summer to roll along. You get less juice for a slightly more expensive price, but it is indeed worth it. If you want the closest thing to F batch Aventus, get this. If you want something that's a bit softer, fruitier, and smokier than Aventus? Get the limited edition. I have both. It's redundant, yes, but my nose can pick up those differences. Besides, this extrait version is the best performing out of the entire CDNIM line, no question. I have no idea what else Armaf can do with this DNA. It's been beaten down to death already. They should just stop here. They've found their winner.
