I really enjoy these videos. Richard's insight into the how and why of perfumery is incredibly fascinating. I hope you do more of these sometime in the near future.
I love my 200 ml bottle of CDNIM edp. The bottle is the size of a brick and almost as heavy as one but it smells great. I have recent decants of Aventus and the Armaf smells and performs better.
Idk, so far I’ve tried CDNLE and Parfums Vintage Vanilla Intense. I have to be honest, Aventus after macerating, hits better for me. Idk but these clones have a very distinctive scent profile…
I agree with everything here and appreciate the discussion! One thing not mentioned is Creed's overhead is most likely 100% more than Armaf's. The ingredients cannot possibly be 10 to 16x that of Armaf's quality, even with bulk discounts or exclusive access points. I would be curious to see the formulas for both and have a breakdown of cost from that perspective. But, that's impossible. Please do more of these! Much appreciated!
Why there are multiple videos with almost the same thumbnail, a very similar title and the exact same beginning of the video? I feel like I'll skip all of them as it's too confusing for no apparent reason.
Perfumers will always destroy a clone because they hate them, they know they could be the next victim to be cloned so they have to destroy them publicly, 99% of the regular people cant tell which one is which.
A perfume cost 500$ and performance is SUKS. a perfume cost 30$ and performance is brilliant. What exactly you expect me to do???????😏✌️ Is there a chance if PROFESSIONAL trying to CONVINCE me"OTHERWISE"😏????
I bought a bottle of CDNIM because of how people praise the dry down and call it one of their most complimented fragrances. I’ll just say I’m not a fan. Even in the dry down the lemon thing is still present and I just can’t vibe with it, despite trying to like it and give it a chance multiple times. It’s just not for me. Explorer was my first clone fragrance for comparison. I’m still curious to try L’Aventure and Afnan Supremacy Not Only Intense. Curious to hear how people feel those compare to CDNIM and Explorer.
Characture? No way. The overall dna of aventus is SO flippin simple it was meant to be a designer. Aventus ingredients even if pricier is SO unecessary for the simplicity of the aventus aroma. Youre paying more for a unecessary niche quality simple dna. Cdnim does it right by matching its solid (not cheap) ingredients with the dna along with electrifying its performance at least 3x more with NO olfactory nose blind effect aventus gives u very quickly so u cant even smell the ingredients u made a car payment for. Also the lemon in the top isnt THAT intense. Even in the silver sprayer versions. Essentially armafs dna is how it should be done overall and they do it well without cutting quality and performance.
I dont think there is a scent in my collection I hate more than CDNIM. Absolute garbage. Love the video idea though, would love more of these for all kinds of fragrances from clones to niche scents
U don’t need a perfumer CDNIM smells synthetic and way way to strong. It and all other clones can’t copy Aventus natural smelling scent and the pineapple opening. I wouldn’t waste my money just save and buy aventus you will be way more satisfied with the quality. Creed use somewhere around 40%+ natural ingredients so it doesn’t burn your nose like clones synthetics
i remember i had aventus already but i wanted to try this clone. I was gaging non-stop for like 3min. have a little respect for yourself dont buy these trashes
These discussions are quite educational. Please keep them coming.
Make him sniff the oud wood clone by Maison Alhambra 😂

You two are pretty cool together. I enjoyed the conversation exchange and look forward to more to come.

@@Mrglock54 I’m sure Aventus has a certain magic that can’t be replicated.
Aventus isn't that great honestly, me personally I like CDNIM way better, if you can get 95% close to Aventus for $25-30, awesome. I'm all in
Great interview video and I enjoyed it and have a blessed day
I actually enjoy the opening after 10 mins or so.
The perfumer who made oud wood breaksdown cdnim, that would have been the title
Would have if what?
I want a vs battle between this guy and ATH.
Vs battle not related to perfumes. I wanna see them boxing a perfume celebrity boxing match.
I prefer this guy

great video!!!
Great discussion.
A breakdown of supremacy not only intense please!!
Performance is king 👑
😂
I like this guy. More natural and genuine than ATH and his reviews, I reckon
Great video as always Ash
9:52 I'll miss the start as long as I'm here at the end - Troy© 🤗 My father also taught me that you should wait 15 minutes before going to work or the street☝️🖤💯
Wdym?
Great job for 30$....Richard smells his arm 77x😂😂

Why is Ridard's video so much more focus? Usually your video quality is awesome..
Precious liquid has amazing fragrances. Juniper oud, aqua oud, salt and pepper, tobacco royal, and amber suede are all solid fragrances
Great video very informative very educational I appreciate it
Bla bla bla...Ok, one is 5 and the expensive one is 25(cost of production). After that, u pay for the brand, marketing, margin of profit...
The limited edition is much better

Limited edition
I've never smelled Aventus, only a few of it's clones, but from what I have smelled the hype just seems so misplaced.
It's really nothing special anymore. It lasts 5 hours tops.
Since when is ambroxan expensive
It is but it’s extremely potent so they use very little in fragrances

Didn‘t know Brad Pitt knows so much about perfumes 😂
I think the elephant in the room is comparing Kredo and Carved Oud with Oud Wood.
A perfume cost 500$ and performance is SUKS.
a perfume cost 30$ and performance is brilliant.

aventus at discounters is closer to 190-210-ish (still not worth it for the DNA but way better than harsh cdnim imo)

I hated CDNIM, but loved Al Haramain L’Aventure
i remember i had aventus already but i wanted to try this clone. I was gaging non-stop for like 3min. have a little respect for yourself dont buy these trashes
Waste my time
Great discussion
