Club De Nuit Intense Overdose

Soooooooo, I've just taken delivery of Overdose this morning, and here's my take - I've been looking for a replacement of my original batch CDNIM LE Parfum from 2021. For me. that was by far the very best in the CDNIM line, and the best batch from that line - Fruity throughout, not too smoky or mossy, and lasted ALL day. I purchased a bottle of LE Parfum in 2024 as I was nearly out, and it was just pure birch from start to finish, with a little bit of fruit for starters. Not horrible, just not the same juice from 2021, and the performance was definitely lacking. Anyways, fast forward to last year, and I pulled the trigger again on the LE Parfum in the 'new' bottle in the hope something might have improved. Sadly, calling it cat piss doesn't even do it justice. I did the usual thing as I do with all clones of spraying it 10 times and leaving it under the the bed for a month to see if it would improve, but it just got worse. It was totally devoid of any fruitiness, and smelled like my shirt at 9 in the morning a night out in Ibiza. Add to that the projection and longevity being atrocious, and it's fair to say I had near enough given up chasing the CDNIM unicorn altogether. However... That was until I saw a video last week from Ash at Gents Scents labelled 'the KING of CDNIM'. Having skipped over the past few CDNIM releases (Absolu / Extrait / Extreme) due to them being very hard to find / not actually released in the UK, I thought I'd humour Ash and take a look at his video. Everything he said made me very curious, so I googled it, and lo and behold, Armaf Uk actually had it in stock! So, pulled the trigger, and it arrived today. What can I say? It's, very, very good. It's very similar to the first LE bottle I had, with the fruit amped up even more, and the woods coming through after an hour or so, BUT still keeping the fruit in the mix after hours of wearing it. I'm failing to smell any blue crystal, or 'white powder', however the amber in it is there from the off as well. It's not EXACTLY CDNIM as we know it, but for me it is a split of - 50% old school CDNIM LE Parfum (Original batch) 20% it's own thing 15% Lataffa Qaed al Fursan with the pineapple off the top 10% SNOI with the blackcurrant accord and oakmoss (Before reformulation) 5% (and hear me out on this), YSL Y EDP with the amber grounding everything in the drydown Now, I know that may seem like a lot of different things all going on at once, but I think it's only fair to give a decent and honest reflection of how it smells off the bat to my nose. In terms of projection and longevity, I sprayed it on at 09.30 this morning, and having been sat in an air conditioned office most of the day as it is 27 degrees Celcius outside, this thing is STILL pushing off me after 2 sprays. When I step outside, it just radiates straight off of me in the high heat, and no matter where I walk I'm leaving a HEAVY trail. I feel as though after spending over £120.00 on the last 2 bottles of sub-par CDNIM, I've finally found a worthy, albeit different successor for my little unicorn from 2021. It does it's own thing, sure, but it is far better than anything I have smelled from the CDNIM line in recent memory. I don't do glazing, and I don't get excited by things, but I'm very happy with my purchase, and if you are looking for something from Armaf that you haven't quite been able to get a hold of these past few years, just with a new twist, give Overdose a go. 8.5 out of 10 (So far).

Not as Absolu-related as suggested on here at all. Aventus DNA with richer fruits and slightly dark edge, making it feel like a 'night out' version. Pineapple style is similar to 9pm Rebel, Supremacy Collector's Edition, Qaed al Fursan etc. but the plum and tangerine combined with it give it almost more of an opulent red fruitiness. Some BR540 hints maybe? Also pretty comparable to Tumi 19 Degree (Aventus/Tuscan Leather hybrid) and I think this is where the 'white powder' element hits, and alongside that reddish fruit combo it feels like there is a drop of Tuscan Leather in here. In summary, Aventus DNA as a night out/clubbing scent. Good stuff.

The initial opening can come across a bit spicy ( not sure why, as there is no notes listed to suggests this). The dry down however is gorgeous. Unisex but masculine leaning , true and realistic pineapple with loads of amber and patchouli in the dry down. It lasts and projects very well. Reminds me of absolu Aventus

Its an Absolu Aventus and if anyone tells u its Aventus (Please ignore him)! This is almost a 1:1 to Afnan SCE! Great Quality n Great Lasting n Sticking Power! If u have issues with SCE batches then buy Overdose!!! Its a great Alt to Absolu Aventus!!! Sticks to the body like anything!!!!

Having experienced the fragrance firsthand, I genuinely believe it has the potential to take the legacy created by Club De Nuit Intense Man to an entirely new level. It will be exciting to see how the market responds and how this next chapter unfolds.

Actually, 'Nomzzz' the idiot below me, it is available in the U.S. now. Go ahead and buy a bottle. Check the Armaf website buddy. Many of us have already smelled it at events buddy. Which you clearly don’t attend.

@GimmePlz do u even realise Xjerkoff is a fake bot profile? Atleast if ur mature enough always check out profiles before liking or disliking reviews by People/Bots!

I just recieved it yesterday and Im so in love. I think it keep oryginal cdnim dna and made it easier to wear. 10/10 for me.

Its 95% similar to sharaf the club by zimaaya Ditto same as it is and 90% close to ahemd couture noir

Is it so fucking hard to post a proper review? Look at all these clowns below me. Absolutely 0 useful fucking information. Have you smelled it? How does it smell? Does it remind you of something? How is the quality? All of you clowns are trying to be funny or something but none of you is that kind of guy, @that.scentguy -> this is a fucking bot @Nomzzz -> this fucking clown thinks the middle east is the entire world. BRO THIS WAS RELEASED IN LONDON. L-O-N-D-O-N. @Marck Menke -> this clown is trying his hand at creative writing on fragrantica doing theorycrafting and shit as if this is his personal blog. Information 100% irrelevant to the subject at hand. Get a fucking wordpress blog bro @dream//housecc -> did you even smell this bro? What the fuck are you yapping about? Same as all the other clowns who complain "hOw mAnY FlAnKErS wIlL RaSaSi Do bRO" Then some other clowns who are stating the blatantly obvious about the drugs reference as if they're some fucking Sherlock Holmes and we the retarded plebs who can't see 1m in front of us The only useful thing posted so far is the first comment from this lady right here -> @Loveatfirstsniff1 If there are no comments about how this fragrance is, don't fucking comment your irrelevant shit. People come here to know whether to buy this or not. When there are 500 comments already where at least some people wrote detailed reviews about the fragrance, go ahead, try to be funny ya fucking clown but when there's nothing, don't yap about literally nothing. Clowns.

Ok so I've got this today and everything I've read and heard about this is a lie lmao. This is 1:1 to Afnan SNOI. Literally 1 to fucking 1 except it's higher quality, the citrus is sharper and maybe the pineapple a little bit toned down. Well done Armaf for releasing Club De Nuit Not Only Intense Man lmao. Yo what's next? Club De Nuit Intense Man Supremacy Edition? This is so fucking funny because I've just traded my SNOI earlier today. I forgive them for this because I like the fragrance but holy shit man the absolute fucking guts on them to do such a thing lmao There you go guys, for all intents and purposes, you can consider this an Aventus + Hacivat dupe just like SNOI. Anyone who tells you otherwise is a liar. Period. Real price should be ~$20-$25 less so wait until the big discounts. Also fire the fucking retard who thought it's a good idea to put glitter on the box.

Got my bottle today (07/07/26). As a superfan of the line, I was expecting big things but the reality is that, despite the promising opening, it drys down into yet another Absolu clone. That would be A-OK in my world if CDN Pecieux didn’t already exist but it does and that is a much more smokier, premium take on Absolu. If I had to rank it based on scent alone, I would put it third behind Precieux and Elixir. It’s definitely not as synthetic smelling as other CDNs in the range however. Performance wise, it’s excellent and up there other any of the others in the line - both in terms of projection and longevity. In summary, worth a punt if you don’t have Precieux, otherwise I would wait till that bottle runs out before buying this.

Someone said this is way too smoky. Wtf? This smells nothing like the original CDNIM. It's soft, sweet, fruity, and oakmoss-heavy, but the birch smokiness is almost completely gone. Performance is solid, lasting around 8 to 10 hours, but it doesn't project like the original. That makes sense, though, since it's an extrait and is meant to sit closer to the skin. I like it. It's much more mass appealing and actually wearable compared to the OG, which, to me, can smell like a chemical mess. Does it feel a bit redundant if you already own the other flankers? Yes. Is it the best one in the line if you don't want to smell like smoke? Also yes. 7/10 overall

Since I used to own Afnan Supremacy Collector's Edition, I can say that Overdose smells almost identical to its dry-down. With Afnan SCE, the opening is a little different before it settles, but Overdose smells like the dry-down of SCE from start to finish. I'd say it's a fairly one-dimensional fragrance, but it's still a great choice if you're a fan of Creed Absolu. I don't get any Creed Aventus or CDNIM vibes at all, so I'm not sure why people keep comparing it to those. The longevity is excellent, but personally, I'd recommend getting Afnan Supremacy Collector's Edition instead of Overdose.

This is not a clone of Afnan SCE and to me it's trying to be Hacivat and Aventus Absolu at the same time, like 65% Hacivat and 35% Absolu Aventus. Armaf straight up milking it. It is a bit fruitier up top, opens similar to Precieux I, kinda resembles SCE in the far opening but honestly to me it's not as smooth. Unless this thing matures over time, the plum and vanilla flower make absolutely no difference. The quality is not bad but if you don't have this scent profile and want it, just get Precieux I or SCE, otherwise if you have any of the Aventus or Hacivat inspos, skip this one.

@fragged0ut not only a bot, but also illiterate. Pick a struggle bro. Yo someone check this mfers code because he's arguing against things no one said. Based on how hard you're projecting your financial insecurities, I'd say you're one of those indians who like to take it deep and slow from Armaf. FOR FREE haha. You're still not getting one single penny from Armaf. Keep *slurp* *slurp*-ing on that cock. -5 izzat for that comment bro

@fragged0ut literally a bot account. You haven't even smelled this, clown. Get the fuck out of my fragrantica comment section. Imagine polishing Armaf's penis head for free lmao. Bro thinks he's getting paid like the influencers he watches on social media lmao

How close is this compared to Maison Asrar's Vanguard? Is this another Absolu clone leaning more into the sweet part of it? I see people voting for the similarity to Absolu but also some dislikes. Why do you think it's not close to Absolu?

After how good was Vanguard, if Maison Asrar ever decides to release a regular Aventus dupe, it will wipe Armaf's entire career lmao. Bro I swear some of these Middle Eastern companies don't even realize the power they're sleeping on

Yup, idk whats with the blue crystal but yep its just aventus absolu that lowkey smells like 9pm rebel. It's great to be honest, I like this more than CDNIM edt (I haven't try the other CDNIM).
