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!

* Absolutely 100% identical to Creed Aventus * Hybrid citrus/aromatic fougere fragrance * Powerful blend of citrus, fruit, woody, floral, vanilla and patchouli musk aromas * Complex, masculine and refreshing * Beautiful birth notes complements the strong pineapple and lemon notes * Works great in all weather * Versatile; can work for any occasion * Unisex * Good for all ages * Insanely good performance, particularly the longevity and projection * Niche quality * Great price for a parfum concentration; 150 ml bottle is a steal * Cool presentation * Signature scent worthy * The specific fragrance DNA has been played out * Tons of other clone competitors on the market * Might come off as obnoxious in some circumstances due to its strength Armaf's Club de Nuit Intense Man Parfum is an insanely good clone of the (in)famous Creed Aventus and is both the strongest and the most accurate by far of all the ones I've ever sampled. I live walking distance from a Holt Renfrew so was able to spray and compare and I'm telling that not only is there no difference, I'd actually argue that Club de Nuit Intense Man Parfum is actually BETTER. CDNIM is a pretty powerful blend of citrus, fruit, woody, floral, vanilla and patchouli musk aromas. Thought the formula itself seems rather straightforward on paper, in actual practice this is insanely good. It acts as a hybrid citrus and aromatic fougere fragrance even though there really is no oakmoss note here. It's just so fresh and aromatic, it pretty much acts in the same way. This opens with a strong and refreshing fruit blast of pineapple and lemon and then eases into a drydown with that famous birch wood note along with florals, vanilla and patchouli musk aromas. The thing is, though, the opening fruit never loses its strength and blends into the drydown to produce an amazing citrus fougere hybrid aroma that projects and lasts forever. Performance is just insanely good here. This works in all weather, even cold weather which is not something one can normally say for a citrus or fruit forward fragrance. It's versatile enough to be used in any occasion. It's strong, clean and refreshing. It's very masculine, though I'd argue it's still unisex and women can enjoy using it. Good for users of all ages. This is 100% Creed Aventus at a small fraction of the price. This specific fragrance DNA has been played out similarly to Dior's Sauvage, and there are a ton of other clones on the market. But none of them have this high level of quality. I know, I own more than a couple of those other ones. The 150 ml bottle of CDNIM Parfum is just a steal at its price. Performance is off the charts with huge projection and longevity. Presentation is very nice too, with a handsome all black bottle. Highly, highly recommended.

Update: It's almost been 4 months since I talked about this club de nuit intense man edp. I said that I will come back to update in 3 months to say if anything has changed and to my surprise, it has in a good and bad way. First off, the projection is really powerful. It's definitely stronger than 3 months ago. To me the scent has become more smoother and less harsh which may sound insane, but that's just what I'm smelling. However, it doesn't last long on my skin. I have really good skin chemistry when it comes to perfumes so it's definitely not me. So I know for a fact that this is the fragrance. And yes I did say it projects powerfully (it fills up an entire room), but it the scent only lasts 6 hours on my skin and then disappears. But it does last more longer on clothes (at least 10 hours). I have had opportunity to wear this a lot so I'm pretty sure it's not me that's that for sure. The batch is 02/2024 UAE which I don't really know much about these batches, but from what I've heard so far, it's not as good as the "France" batches, so if you are planning on buying this fragrance, then save yourself the hassle and buy something else. I'd recommend that you buy the new Club De Nuit Intense Man Extrait De Parfum or Afnan supremacy not only intense or Afnan supremacy special edition. They are all creed aventus dupes/inspirations, with guaranteed amazing performance, so just buy those instead. Verdict I haven't completely given up on this fragrance, I feel that this one is one of those that just needs at least a year of maceration in order for the performance to improve. It's weird that when I first got this fragrance, the length it lasted on my skin was impressive but projection was mediocre and now that's changed. I hope that maceration will fix this but, overall fragrance is a 8/10 (smell wise), opening 8/10 (I don't find the opening harsh), projection 8/10 (when it lasts), longevity (5 or 6/10 (6-7 hour of longevity. Hopefully more maceration will help). Overall 7/10. Just get Afnan Supremacy Not Only Intense just tried my friends today (2024 December batch) and with only 2 sprays I have managed to choke out everyone in my house. Or wait and get the new Club De Nuit Intense Man Extrait De Parfum. This one shows a lot of hype, hope and potential...

Alright, so after wearing Club de Nuit Intense Man Pure Parfum for a while, I figured I’d drop a proper review for anyone wondering whether this bottle is worth their money... or just another hype train. Let’s get the elephant out of the room. The opening hits you with a big citrus punch — lemon, pineapple, and a sharp freshness that can feel a little... aggressive. Not “office handshake aggressive.” More like “gym bro who just discovered pre-workout” aggressive. The good news? This is the Pure Parfum, so it’s much smoother than the older EDT version. You still get that signature blast, but it doesn’t smell like someone weaponized a lemon. Give it about 15–20 minutes and things calm down. The fragrance moves into a smoky fruity territory with birch and pineapple playing the main roles. At this point you start understanding why people constantly compare it to Creed’s famous Creed Aventus. Is it identical? No. Is it in the same vibe family? Absolutely! Imagine Aventus but: louder slightly rougher and way cheaper The drydown is where this thing shines. You get smoky woods, musk, a bit of sweetness, and a surprisingly classy vibe considering the price. Performance (This thing refuses to die) Performance is honestly ridiculous. Longevity: 10–12 hours easily Projection: Strong for the first few hours Sillage: People will notice you Two sprays is good. Three sprays says: “Hello everyone, I am wearing an awesome fragrance today.” Five sprays means the room now legally belongs to you. Compliment Factor This fragrance has main character energy. I’ve had: “You smell good” “What perfume is that?” “Someone smells amazing” It’s one of those scents that normal people love, even if fragrance nerds argue about batches for 12 hours on forums. Final Thoughts Armaf Club de Nuit Intense Man Pure Parfum is basically the fragrance equivalent of a budget sports car. Is it the most refined thing in the world? No. Does it get attention and do the job extremely well? Absolutely! For the price, it’s honestly one of the best bang-for-buck fragrances in the game. Rating: ⭐ 8.5 / 10

I've had the EDP Version (200ml) for about a year now after going through a 105ml bottle of the EDT. It is essentially a less citrus-forward and smoother version of the EDT, with an opening that is definitely not as harsh (see lemon pledge comments) and a slightly less smokey drydown. I prefer it to the EDT, although both are complement monsters (most complemented from my collection). The EDT is screechier and slightly louder from opening to drydown. Both have excellent longevity, though. I've tested Aventus multiple times: Sure, it is smoother in the opening, but the drydown is very close, it doesn't last half as long, and it costs multiple times more. Almost everyone smelling this on you won't be able to tell the difference; they are not sniffing the frag on a test strip, after all. Perhaps if you are an expert with a frag-trained K9 nose, you'll be able to tell them apart. You are buying this because you like the Aventus DNA, but find it hard to justify that cost for an everyday do-it-all fragrance with lacklustre performance. Surely, you can look elsewhere if you are after finer perfumery, but that is not the point of this scent. This is my go-to, do-it-all scent all year round. Yes, I am basic, and I don't care; to the average Joe/Jane, this has proven to be safe, universally likeable and deviates enough from most common blue freshies people tend to gravitate towards to make you stand out in a crowd where only a handful do wear perfume. I travel around Europe a lot, and I can only recall smelling this DNA of frag on someone once, so any "it's too common" comments mostly refer to its popularity amongst frag wearers. Once this runs out in a couple of years' time, I'll give Pure Parfum a go. Judging from the comments, it should be a bit smoother than the EDP.

When I started wearing fragrances, it was because I didn't appreciate the Axe body spray stigma and wanted to smell good. I wasn't looking for compliments; I was just an insecure teenager who wanted something he could be confident in. However, many years later, this fragrance has made me realize that it is also fun to wear fragrances for compliments. It is almost comical the amount of positive attention this fragrance garners. I have applied this fragrance in the morning, spent the whole day sweating in <100F heat at a music festival, and still received compliments from people arm lengths away from me. Friends have told me how good this stuff smells. Complete strangers have come up to me to compliment it. I wish I was joking when I say I have been at a college party where someone asked to kiss me because I smelled so good. As I mentioned, the performance is really, really good. It lasts probably 10hr with really good projection. This is a fragrance that I go noseblind too easily; I usually go 5 sprays. CDNIM to my nose is very similar to Aventus (I have only smelled newer batches). However, the EDP smooths out the edges, lending it to smell closer to Aventus Cologne IMO. I purchased 200mL for $50 on accident, I thought it was a smaller bottle, but I am so glad I did. It is the perfect blend of citrusy fruits bolstered by a deep smokey wood. It is such a unique scent profile compared to a majority of freshies, which is why it has been recreated by every clone company and even some niche houses (Nishane comes to mind). This is some really good juice, I don't like telling people this is what I wear just because I do receive the amount of positive attention that I do, but I will throw it out here.

Okay, So I just got my Pure Parfum today, Batch is 07/2024. One year ago I bought the EDT and I really disliked the opening, It was so synthetic! Exactly like a lemonade toilet refresher. So I’m gonna start by saying is ULTRA SMOOTH CITRUS! You can easily smell and identify the crisp and fresh Lemon/Bergamot and Pineapple! It is just so gorgeous, Crisp and SMOOTH! It is on par with smoothness of very high end citrus rich and smooth fragrances of the likes LV Imagination, Sospiro Vibrato, Etc.. As it Dries Down, The citrus becomes the secondary player and it becomes more Smokey Citrus with some Amber and Musk. To be honest this is one of the smoothest and best smelling fragrance I have ever smelled. It so Sexy, Playful and at the same time Masculine! Performance before maceration is pretty good! I get 10 Hours of longevity with a unique (Parfum concentration typical projection) projection; Meaning Heavy and rich Sillage (scent trail) Throughout all of the 10 hours while being having a medium to loud scent projection away from you in the first 2/3 hours. IMO this is The best type of projection. I prefer this over a very harsh and loud projection in the first 3/4 hours while then becoming a skin scent (For the example The loud EDT; While it projects loudly the first 4 hours it then becomes more skin scent trail without having the rich scent trail throughout all the wear). I do believe that it will also become better with Maceration, And that is why I will buy another bottle and macerate it. Definitely 10/10.

Currently one of my favorite scents. I find that the EDP version compares quite closely to Aventus, particularly in the dry-down. I was expecting a more synthetic lemon top note, as is often described in the EDT version, but I don't detect any synthetic quality in the EDP. I'm looking forward to trying the Limited Edition version soon for a more complete comparison. When comparing a dupe like Club de Nuit Intense Man (CDNIM), I always start with the similarities. If you enjoy the scent of Aventus but don't want to pay the premium price, it's hard to understand the criticism this fragrance receives. Perhaps it's tough for some to admit that a $45 bottle can come remarkably close to something they paid $450 for? In my experience, the resemblance—especially after the dry-down—is very close. Even if Aventus didn’t exist, I would still enjoy this fragrance. It has that sophisticated pineapple opening paired with a smooth, woody dry-down. The performance is also impressive, and even with a generous application, it never comes off as overwhelming or cloying. I’ve grown accustomed to the Aventus DNA. When I encounter this particular scent profile, it immediately evokes a sense of refined, powerful masculinity. I'm curious to see whether the Limited Edition version might render the EDP unnecessary, but until then, I’ll continue to enjoy this fragrance on its own merits.

Ok now that i have this one as well, i can compare it with the LE and Aventus. This has the weakest opening out of all three, the LE has a stronger, longer and fuller lemon + pineapple opening than this one. This just smells like lemon peels for 15 minutes and then transitions into the drydown. My 19S41 Aventus has a fuller and more rounded opening than both of them that takes awhile(around an hour) to transition into the birchy drydown. In the drydown Pure Parfum is better than LE because it smells closer to Aventus. LE has this kind of a inky/metallic note present in the dry down and the birch is more in the background. Honestly even though LE has a stronger presence than Pure Parfum over all, i would still get the Pure Parfum just because of the drydown. After all everyone's going to be smelling the drydown on you, almost no one will smell the opening. Also bigger bottle, 150ml, can't argue with that either. EDIT: I let this macerate for a month thinking it would get stronger but it just got even weaker. Won't project even an arms length. My batch is 05/2024 made in France and i strongly advise against buying as it is a waste of money and all you will be getting is water that resembles Aventus.

Pure Parfum - Man oh man this is it! Your absolute best bang for buck ($50/150ml) fragrance, period! I've had the original formula (silver sprayer) edt, a few new reformulated edt's, as well as the edp. They're ALL fantastic but the newer edt's lack some of that massive beast mode performance! I have also had a newer batch of Aventus as well as several, several other clones. THIS IS THE ONE! Is it my favorite DNA? Absolutely not!!! Does it do its job well during any season and for a phenomenal price per mil, YES. Armaf CDNIM at any formulation will get you noticed and complimented. This Pure Parfum is my favorite, most people prefer the EDP and especially the limited edition to be exact. But I find that this is longer lasting and more rounded of all of ther versions. It sits a little closer to the skin but is no slouch. It lasts for DAYS especially on clothes and I also don't go nose blind to this formulation. 10/10 clone ALL Day! But...haters gonna hate. This review has been brought to you by a normal human being with some common sense that also likes niche fragrances...just not at a ridiculous price per mil with underwhelming performance. Be smart and smell sniffalicious!!!

I am a clone skeptic. I’ve bought a few and they were fine, smelling pretty similar to whatever they are cloning but I rarely wore them as I have a large collection and just chose to wear higher quality instead. Ultimately, I gave them away to young guys in my extended family. But I thought I’d give this one a try because Creed Aventus is so expensive that it could make sense to wear a clone. So first impressions: the opening smells like lemon scented insect repellent; incredibly synthetic. But after about 30 mins it’s starts to morph into something completely different; a fruity-spicey-woody mix that is very rich and warm and mesmerizing; it reminds me of a richer/darker version of Cedrat Bois (am I saying this is better than Cedrat Bois? Yes I am.) After about an hour the Ambroxin starts to peep out from under that spicy blend, but it’s not a complete departure like other heavy Ambroxin scents so it blends well. All in all; I give this one a solid B plus. The fragrance dna is similar to Creeds Aventus and it’s a fraction of the cost. Just plan about 30 mins of weirdness until it settles down and you’ll be totally fine.

Well well, i know this fragrance is popular, and my review is probably long overdue - I just could not get myself to get another clone of Aventus. My experience with Aventus was frozen at 2015, which I believe I experienced the "golden era" of 2011-2013, when it was potent, smoky, masculine. I happened to smell more modern batch of Aventus, which is mere a shadow of what I remember - I do have a small 7mL decant left of 2013 batch (I believe hedione is on its way out), after sharing them with my brother and my friend. CdNI EDP is exactly in the middle of the yesteryear, and modern Aventus IMO. Yes, the opening is different, and rather harsh, but so was the smokier batch of Aventus. This seems to be less smoky, yet you can definitely detect birch tar here. If Aventus is a flat EQ, CDNI smells more like a "U-shaped" EQ, to me it seems its not as dense as the original. That being said, I know now what my coworker wears - I knew it wasn't Aventus (and I am not an Aventus connoisseur, but I was able to tell it apart). But for the price, and for what it is, I strongly think this is a good fragrance.

Production date 02-2024. Made in UAE. got this from Jomashop a couple days ago. Smells like my cdnim edt I had a half year ago, maybe the edt is slightly more bright and stronger projecting? But you’re picking pins and needles picking them apart in my opinion. Initial spray has that strong citrus smell that I actually personally like. Then it smells more earthy with some candy citrus smell as it dries (smells like cotton candy to me, the edt did as well: but don’t take it the wrong way, you could also interpret it as candied citrus?) Longevity seems alright, around 7 hours with above average projection. I’m expecting performance to get slightly better with time as it matures. I’ve also smelt creed aventus about 8 months ago in store, and they smell 90% the same, aventus is just more pleasant and natural smelling, and you get fruity/pineapple in the opening instead of citrus, but upon it drying I don’t think you’d be able to smell a difference, especially in the air. I love this fragrance because it performs good and smells like aventus, which was inspired by Napoleon 👍: cool little fact

This is a great alternative to Creed Aventus. I believe this is a way better value. This has a lemon opening vs Creeds beautiful pineapple opening. Other than that they're mainly the same. Some would say this opening is harsh & smells like pledge and if that person is you I suggest you take both this & pledge and compare them side by side. If you think this smells like pledge, your nose is broken therefore shouldn't be reviewing fragrances or giving your opinion. I've done Creed side by side with the edt & edp of CDNIM. I can say with confidence the EDP is the closest. The only major is difference is the opening and Creeds drydown is a tinyyyyy bit fresher with a tinyyy hint of citrus thats honestly unrecognizable unless you are judging the two side by side. If we're talking longevity and performance this is blowing Creed out of the water and making it look foolish. But natural fragrances like Creed are more volatile and dissipate faster so it's to be expected. $30 bucks on this. OR $150 (in groups) up to $400 at a Creed boutique. Take your pick! They're both amazing.

Well ! Well! Well! I purchased it just because I smelled this and it smelled quite good not exceptional..but the main thing was what you tubers told me about this fragrance is that out of their 2000 bottles collection this one gets them most compliments So I purchased it and was walking down the street and was on phone with my friend saying " Everyone gets compliments with worst fragrances I apply one of the best and still cant get compliments " just then I entered sports shop and guy walked to me and first thing he asked me " Hey brother which perfume is this...I was like why brother why asking this....he said its fricking good that's why I am asking" and the most surprising thing here is I applied 3 sprays of this fragrance on my tshirt at 10:45 pm Sunday and I got the compliment around 7:00pm monday So I would really recommend this one may be you will not the like the first sniff of this fragrance but after some hours you will start liking. I don't know why..but yes you will then further then you will love this perfumes everytime you spray it

I've you're looking for a good value for money Creed Aventus clone then this version of CDNIM, the Pure Parfum edition (150 ml) is your best bet. This has a citrusy, woody and musky scent profile. The pineapple note isn't very dominant though. A perfect signature scent, a daily driver and a dumb reach. The citrus opening is quite synthetic and harsh for most noses initially. The dry down is where the magic is at. Good compliment getter and is great for all sorts of occassions- Office, casual, parties etc. Do note that you can go nose blind after an hour of wearing this but the scent bubble will be maintained for hours. As with most middle eastern fragrances, the woody dry down has that middle eastern touch to it. After I let my decant (not a full bottle) sit for over month, I get a good longevity of 5-6 hrs on skin and about 10-11 hrs on fabric in AC environments. Expect it to last for about 8-9 hrs outdoors. Alternative to consider- Afnan SNOI. Not as smoky as this is but has a very smooth opening, more fruity than citrusy.
