Club de Nuit Intense Man Parfum

I really want to say something about this scent so I see a lot of confusion as well as the way they have Armaf Club De Nuit Intense Man on here, as there are numerous versions as far as concentration. So first off, I am writing about the newest release, the Limited Edition (in red on the bottle) and the Parfum concentration. If you have it you will know it's special cause the presentation is better than anything I ever experienced as someone who's been collecting and loving fragrances in the triple decades. So the box comes in this high quality Dior like cloth they use, that is big enuff to hold the whole box. The box is not like the old ones, cheap colored cardboard. Soon as I felt the package, it was very very heavy. This box was very high quality with a very nice bow like thing around the box. Presentation five stars. 9.7/10. Really that told me already I had something special and I was right. I am big into collecting fragrances. Since I was a kid I had the Polo and did the Drakkar. Later in life I realized there was this huge world of more and I never could justify spending, ever, more than $150 or so on a scent. Then I smelled Aventus and it was one of the greatest fragrances ever. I got samples and always wanted a bottle and for my birthday one year my ex got me a small bottle of the very new release time, batches of Creed Aventus. I made this last so long. Wore it on special occasions only and built a lot of great memories with this scent. Eventually it ran out and I always maybe one time a year get a decent just to smell it after a shower before I go to bed to just smell a well crafted scent. One of my favorite benefits of collecting and wearing fragrances is how they time stamp the nostalgia to the scent and it's amazing to me how smelling the scent again brings back those. But over the years the batches just were very clearly being done differently and I stopped buying all together. I knew of the clones and the copies and the original Club De Nuit Intense Man EDT was very off putting and did nothing for me. To my nose it was not close and I read many others felt the same. I came to find my best scent to get the vibe was Mont Blanc's Explorer. They did a great job going into the scent profile and it worked. For the price it's a killer deal. Then I seen the EDP was released and getting good praise and I got a decant and though they are listening and they definitely tweaked the notes and smoothed it out and brought in some real quality ingredients and I just kept getting the bad vibe from the EDT. Wasn't for me. Then I had some Amazon gift cards for like $75 so I seen Club De Nuit Intense Man Parfum Limited Edition on there and I read literally every review and my gut told me to blind buy it. I knew cause of the limited edition, I would have no problem selling it should I not like it. Well I got it today and let me tell you my gut was right. The presentation was top tier. The bottle is so heavy and has the red Limited Edition on it, with Parfum so I knew it was gonna be good. Someone made the decision and listened to all the comments/complaints and I thought the bottle was very heavy and everything about the vibe I got was good. Then I sprayed it and I can't even describe how quickly I realized this was too quality, supremely crafted, and this huge wave of old school, OG Creed Aventus came on. I had my hand to my nose for quite awhile as all these old memories came back and the smell was just like the old school Aventus before it was watered down and the performance became lackluster. I can vouch for everything good said about this. This is just as close to Aventus as you are gonna get. I would take this $60 bottle any day over any batch Creed made within the last few years. This is one to one, like if anyone knows say how close Oud For Glory is to Oud For Greatness knows what I mean. You have this and you are set. This perfected each and every issue the other flankers had, like the EDT and EDP I'm talking about. I would highly suggest to anyone right now to pick up yourself a bottle or few. The bottle says Limited Edition and you say to yourself, they always say that but it seems anything good they always find a way to ruin it. Even if they keep it in the market without discontinuing it, it always gets reformulated. Always happens. I'm saying this is new enuff, and cheap enuff to make sure you get enuff to last cause this right now is the perfect phase of this perfectly done scent. Like I'm thinking about all the times I should of gotten backups but never did thinking I just could get one on eBay, just so many times I should of done this and I never did. Like for example look how Mugler just dropped all those amazing, masterpieces from the Angel Men!? Like I had Pure Havanne and Pure Malt and I always figured they know they have a forever demand for these, so when I run out I'll just get more. Look how they just stopped them and stopped releasing new ones and even stoped selling the flankers. Now I have none and no way I'm gonna pay the $250 plus prices to get those so my point is this is that good. The comments on here where I'm writing this has many comments that don't even belong and Fragrantica here don't have all the releases right. There are like many Club De Nuit Intense Man releases. I mean they have the body spray, hard to find pure oil, EDT, EDP..limited and unlimited versions and the smell and notes are different so like you go down and read the comments you start to realize half the comments are for other flankers. You are not gonna ever get even close to capturing the old school, OG Creed Aventus like you do here. This is as close as you can get to making a scent into a copy. For $60, you literally have Creed Aventus. Sorry to ramble on and I know this scent and the whole Aventus thing gets tiring. Some don't agree with clones and I get it. But when you have a company like Creed, who really isn't even the Creed it was, it's just a shadow of it's former self and someone else bought it and gonna just make a lot of money from the wave of greatness already created awile ago. I don't see them ever even releasing a stand alone new fragrance. They can stay afloat forever just in the vibe and sales of Aventus and Green Irish Tweed alone. I think it is wasting money buying anything from Creed and perfumery has evolved to where these houses are approaching making copies of scents different and they are using new science and new ways to make a perfect art out of cloning. Used to be clones were in your local pharmacy or even at Walmart with the same vibe bottle and it's always super cheap and you maybe get 45 minutes of performance of a copy done bad. Now, you see a hit stunner fragrance released in January, by June you have a Lattafa or Armaf clone smelling identical for $40.

Just got Club De Nuit Intense Man EDP not Parfum. I couldn't find the page for the Edp so I thought I'll just type it here instead. This one was produced on 05/2024, it was made in Dubai U.A.E which is something I've never seen before. It can't be fake because I did buy it from a reliable seller that has good reviews. I haven't bought the batches made in France, and I don't know how it compares to the Duabai ones but whatever let's get into it. First Impressions Okay so I don't really get that harsh opening but I think I understand why some people will find it harsh. Right from the start I am hit with a strong (not harsh or headache inducing) lemony, smoky, fresh scent. It does remind me of Aventus. I have smelled this two years back and Club de nuit has instantly reminded me of Aventus. Drydown I am wearing this fragrance as we speak and so far I am enjoying it. I am four hours into spraying it and the dry down is pleasant. I can't really smell it as much as I did the when I sprayed it on, but that's probably me becoming nose blind. It definitely smells more tame than the opening but it's not that big of a difference. Now that it has dried down I can smell some pineapple, vanilla and ambergris (I can also pick up something that's also fruity but I can't tell what it is) . This smells very smoky and that's my favourite part of this fragrance. If I had to describe this fragrance by how it smells in three words I would say smokey, fresh, fruit. I forgot to mention that the lemon that I smelled in the opening has dried down so I can barely smell it. The other notes kicked in the moment the lemon/bergamot died down. Testing I have done some testing with the projection of the fragrance by getting a paper strip, spraying it and then leaving it at the far end of the lounge. Then, I sat away from the paper to see If I could smell it. To my surprise, I did. I could easily smell it about 10 metres away. The only downside was, it didn't last very long (must of lasted about 15 minutes ). This definitely was a let down because I expeted it to last way more longer. After this I did some more testing. I did it by again spraying the paper 3 times but this time I left it in an empty draw in my room. I left it for an hour and then came back to open the draw. I expected to have a big gush of the scent coming out the moment I open it but... Nothing! I could barely smell it. The only way to smell it was to put my nose close to the paper. Another let down!! I did one more test by doing one spray on my right wrist before bed. While in bed I could easily smell the fragrance, and when I woke up the next morning I could still smell it perfectly. Only difference was that I had to put my wrist close to my nose in order to smell it. So in my results I found out three things: 1. The longevity is better on skin 2. Projection doesn't last long despite it being a "beast" in the opening 3. It needs maceration Season You could wear this on any season you want and any occasion. Me personally I wouldn't really wear it during the very cold winter days. I'd much rather wear a fragrance like Azzaro the most wanted Parfum or a fragrance that smells like desert" Verdict I love this fragrance, but I am a bit disappointed from the performance. I expected this to be a "beast mode" fragrance which it is (for only an hour). I'm going to let this sit untouched for three months and see if there is a performance change. I'm definitely not nose blind, my friend couldn't smell it either when he came around today so that how I know that I'm not the only one. As I said I'll let this sit untouched for three months. If I don't give an update in the next three then that means the maceration didn't work. So if that does happen (which I'm positive it won't), then I'll give it another three months of maceration and then give my update. But until then farewell and many thanks for those who read my review. This fragrance is a 8/10 in smell, 6/10 for projection ( 8 or 9 in the first hour) and a 10/10 for versatility. Once again, thanks for reading my review. P. S Also please do reply and let me know if the "Dubai batch" that I bought is legit or not. At the moment I can't find a clear answer, but if anyone reading this can then please do.

Club de Nuit Intense Man by Armaf is a true milestone in the dupe world. General context: CDNIM is an acronym that almost everyone in the fragrance community instantly recognizes, and for very good reason. it has the base of aventus creed - but it lacks the pineapple, and instead we got a horrendous lemon. Hoever, This fragrance delivers what many pursue but few achieve: beast-mode performance. Expect strong projection, excellent presence, and longevity that comfortably sits in the 8 to 12 hour range on most skins. It also has a well-earned reputation for attracting compliments. Fragrance review: TL;DR Bad synthethic opening, with a magnificent concnetrated barricade of masculine fougere base notes choose Afnan Silver, if you want this without the lemon. Elaboration: The opening is clearly its weakest aspect. The initial lemon note is sharp, synthetic, and largely unnecessary. During the first 15 to 25 minutes it can even come across as slightly harsh. Fortunately, this phase fades relatively quickly, and once it does, the scent reveals why it has become so popular. The drydown is unapologetically masculine. Smoky woods, birch aswell, i seppose, and oakmossy undertones, dirt. Fougère . Imagine an illuminated fern forest while it rains. this is intense man. Fougère. and a bold, confident aura that projects with authority. This is not a refined or subtle fragrance. It does not aim for elegance. What it offers instead is power. picture a V8 engine. it is not subtle. and sometimes, too strong. Everything about the drydown points toward raw, assertive masculinity. There are undeniably fragrances that are smoother, more nuanced, or crafted with higher-quality materials. Club de Nuit is built, or at least comes across, a little differently. It feels almost like a collection of base notes rather than a traditional, well-layered composition. The harsher citrus opening fades by the time you arrive at work, as mentioned, and what remains is a heavy presence of base notes. A lot of them. so this perfume feels like it was created to excell at dry down. What Club de Nuit Intense Man does, it does better than most in its category. Huge projection, aggressive performance, and an exceptional VFM. It feels like concentrated masculinity bottled at industrial scale. 4 sprays is a bit over. 3 are enough. Creed aventus comparison: No. creed aventus has a flag. the pineapple. theres no pineapple here. The very element that gives Aventus its distinctive sparkle and character is absent in this composition. but the rest is quite here. in a ...tuned up manner. there is a clear emphasis here onstrength rather than polish. For a better Creed aventus dupe, seek the more expensive (for a reason...) "Club de Nuit Intense Man LIMITED EDITION Parfum Armaf" What it is then? Maybe, CBDNIM is not a dupe afterall, rather an intense manly fragrance. Club de Nuit Intense Man is not subtle, and it does not try to be. It is loud, bold, and extremely effective. Offered in 100 and even large 200 ml EDP bottles which are priced very affordably, few fragrances can match the erupting manliness which isdelivered for the money. with a horrible lemon that thankfully evaporates after 20 mins. Verdict: CBDNIM is powerful, approachable, and affordable. Choose it for its effectiveness, even at hot summertime (!) & its ability to attract attention mainly from women and even men, and the feral masculine aura it projects. A reliable compliment magnet, this fragrance performs like an F-16 in the perfumery world—a workhorse that consistently draws positive reactions. A valuable addition to masculine fragrances.

A new review of the EDP, not the Parfum. Fragrantica still has yet to put a page up for it. But I've reviewed the EDP a couple of times on the parfum page anyway. Ive owned a giant 6.whatever oz bottle of this for 2 years now, it still has about 1/3 left, and I like this so much that I've had a backup bottle ready basically those entire 2 years as well, almost 14 oz of the shit, if that doesn't tell you how great it is, what else can? This has hands down been my most complimented and called out fragrance I've owned of the entire 64 bottles I own. Ive had women demand to know what it is so they can get it for boyfriends/husbands, I've had men stop me dead in my tracks asking what it is, and I've even watched a few purchase a bottle on the spot 😂, I've had countless people tell me it smells amazing "like a man should", I've been told I smell like money, but the compliment that gets me the most with this; i work in fine dining, and i was running around the dining room at work one night a year or so ago, and i had a guest who'd already complimented how good I apparantly smelled, stop me and pulled me in, and she slipped me a tip saying "im only giving you this because you seriously smell SO FUCKING GOOD". Later on I look at the tip, and this woman gave me $100 for simply walking around her during her visit and smelling good. 😂😂😂 she payed for both of my bottles at that point too. Lol I say all of that because is this Aventus? No... it's gets very close in so many ways, but good noses will know if you're lying to them if you tell them it is Aventus, BUT, it doesn't need to be Aventus, this genuinely stands on its own in every regard outside of the fact that it clones a highly sought after, yet, expensive fragrance. It is a lemon pineapple bomb with a beautiful musky drydown that has a gorgeous smoky birch tone throughout. Aventus has a much more natural smell to it, much more true to the notes, not harsh or obnoxious. to my nose, it also has always resembled the smell of fruit loops cereal in the most beautiful way, where as CDNIM EDP does the same thing, but its not that same box of fruit loops... its like getting the off brand fruit loops that are equally good, just a little different. 😂 Performance is on another level. It will last genuinely 24 full hours. You will wash it off the next day guaranteed. It seems like the more air my bottle has in it, the longer and longer it goes... review under myne says give it 100 days maturation, and ill say after 700+ days, its like a god damn fine wine. I got pretty good sillage on skin even at that 24 hour mark, it lasts so long that I can no longer truly test it, as even if I delay my shower into the next day, its never not been there. Lol. I know how ridiculous I sound saying that too, but for my skin, its absolutely true. The sillage is one where I've had people tell me they can smell me before they've even seen me, which idk, that says it all. Its a beast. I cannot speak on any recent formulation of this, both my bottles are batches that are over 3 years old now, and idk how consistent the brand has stayed with the older versions of cdnim, but I can say my bottles are absolute monsters, and have been in my top 10 frags I've ever smelled ever for the past 2 years.

This one is very good. I own the EDT, EDP, and the limited edition. I will shortly describe each since I know many will be on the fence for which to choose. EDT: Citrusy lemon opening. Mixes with the birch effectively. Dry down is a bit off putting as the quality is quite low. Birchy but low quality. Lasts 6-8 hours EDP: Citrusy lemon opening is severely toned down to a tame level. Dry down is similar to EDT almost exactly. Birchy but low quality. Lasts 6-8 hours Limited Edition Parfum: more of a lemon+ pineapple opening. Not as toned down as the EDP, but it doesn't have to be because the quality is very good. The dry down is spectacular and smells just like Aventus except the vanilla is much weaker. Birchy and very high quality. I do not think this is being produced any longer. Parfum: Lemon and pineapple but toned down even more than the EDP. The dry down is different than the other 3 and has an earthy and birchy tone to it. It's the same quality as the Limited Edition Parfum however, it has the patchouli. This is the definitive edition in my eyes. I doubt they'll ever beat this version. This lasts 10-12 hours easily. I think this one dries down the least similar to Aventus, but I also think this is better than Aventus in every way. In fact, I own a few other clones 5+ at least, and this one is the best in quality and longevity. It also smells the best. This isn't simply a clone. It's doing it's own thing with the birtchy patchouli. It's truly great. This is the only version I'd stack up to Montblanc Explorer and say it's a good matchup. Anyway, yes this one is good. It's slightly citrusy but not very much so. The opening is barely happening. It's almost the dry down after the initial spray. It's an earthy woody smell. It's very, very nice. I really, truly love this one. It's much better than the other versions of Club De Nuit Intense Man. It comes in a 150 ML bottle too, which is spectacular value. Solid in every way. This has no weaknesses unless you simply do not like the smell of patchouli or birch wood. 9.5/10 for me. This may work itself up to my signature scent. It's truly spectacular. It sort of follows Encre Noir in the dry down but not quite as earthy and dark. It doesn't give me funeral vibes, but it doesn't give me happy sunshine vibes either. Regardless, it's incredibly well done. This is it. This is the best Club De Nuit Intense Man will probably ever get. And that's ok. Because this isn't boring and is doing all the things. And, it's true that this is only slivers better than other Club De Nuit Intense Man versions, but those slivers are mattering here so much. I see no reason to buy any other version than this unless you want the Limited Edition's less longevity, worse dry down, and more citrusy opening. The sprayer is decent as all the other versions. The cap connects a bit better than previous versions. I've sort of followed Club De Nuit Intense Man since it's release and followed it along to see how it evolved. This is its final form. Buy this version and forget the rest. They're second tier compared to this. This is what Club De Nuit Intense Man was aiming for all along. Somehow, having it's own identity but still having a great DNA profile with high quality. Wonderful!
