I realize a lot of people are opposed to layering, but my husband layers this fragrance with a couple of sprays of Terre D'hermes and the result is absolutely heavenly. The smoky birch from the CDNIM and the dirty orange and vetiver from the Terre D'hermes work perfectly together. I urge you to try it for yourself.
@Travis Klopp thanks for the heads up 👍... that's the EDP batch that I have, very smoky with almost no citrus...and I see Perry Ellis fragrance alot at the different discounters... I'll keep my eyes open for that one.
Excellent comment, winnie! Will try that out! I miss a specific sweetness in the drydown of CDNIM that I think would elevate this even further. Maybe a layer of Terre will do just that and send me to heaven. Cheers!
Ordered my “Limited Edition Parfum” as I was watching your review. I’ve laid off fragrance buying for a month or so because I just bought a 69 RS/SS Camaro and my funds have been redirected so to speak! Lol… I’ve waited 40 years to get another 69, my wife and son bought it without my knowledge and surprised me with it a few weeks ago. Well, I knew you would Love this ultimate version of CDNI. Thanks again Ross, always great content and reviews!
I'm lost you bought yourself a 69 camero but your wife and son also bought you a 69 without your knowledge!! So it's paid for!? It's a gift right?? Why can't you buy cheap cologne? I wanted yo see how close this was to my collection of "real Creed aventus" I have 3 bottles before 2020 and one in 2022 which smells diffrent and dosnt last long. I also have a 2016 version thst sold for 5k last year!!! I have about a half bottle of that.... it last 36 hours or more.... my wife knows when I use the 5k perfume compared to the 1500$ bottles of 2020 before reformulated. It makes all my clothes smell of heaven. It sucks a 500$ bottle of 2024 really isn't worth it. I'll have to make it last the next 20 years!! If you offer me 5k for it now ill sell it! Lol 😆
The Limited Edition is LEGIT!! Very smooth even at the opening but just like the OG the drydown is the star of this fragrance !! Only downside is it takes 3 hours to get to the drydown but again this fragrance is great from start to finish
@@DwyaneWadeCounty It depends on your setting, if you want to get noticed use Limited Edition because it’s beastly and has good sillage. But if you want to keep it classy but smell good only though hugs or any close encounters Chanel Edp for the win. Chanel quality is top tier compared to limited edition.
This stuff is GOOD! I've received a lot of compliments from this (the edt as well) from people I know and complete strangers. Great review Ross, appreciate you 💪🏾👍🏾
What a gorgeous beast perfume it is ......i sprayed cdnim lim Ed in my car and after a week so I can still smell that smoky pineapple burge notes .......beast mode performance
great review. I have the EDT version, with the harsh first impression...but the Drydown...Oh My God....!! I'm about to get the LE version...Hope it to be great!
Ordered right after the video prime next day delivery it came yesterday & it’s 🔥 the presentation is top notch for $60 I give it a 10 & it projects for hrs put it on about 6:30pm yesterday & it’s now 11:00am & I still have a feint skin scent and received 2 compliments my boy said I see you went and dropped for that Aventus I had the whole presentation in the car showed him what it was he couldn’t believe it & ordered it on the spot definitely blind buy worthy
I actually didn't like the EDT. But I love this stuff. I blind bought it a while back and was genuinely surprised and blown away. Happy Thursday brotha!
If you like smokey/fresh seriously give Issy miyake nuit d'issey a try, its so so so so under rated but its a secret performance beast and a compliment magnet.
I have Club de Nuit Intense Man [attention grabber!]. I just received Limited Edition Parfum - - - - - WOW! I was pulled aside by 2 lady coworkers and had their noses glued to my neck. Thumbs up on the Limited Edition, you're right about it being much sweeter all around badass. It competes with my Cedrat Boise. Thanks for your vids!
I got the Pure Parfum a few weeks ago, have heard it's the same as the limited edition and I love it. I have 4 batches of Aventus and a gazillion clones of it because it's my favorite DNA. I've worn the Pure Parfum like 15 times now which is insane for me to wear that often it's just so good.
Were you getting good performance from day 1. I got the pure parfum. It's been 3 weeks but not getting good performance as people say except for the first time I sprayed which lasted 8 hours of solid performance. Tried again a week later and 3 weeks later. Didn't perform.
I got mine today based on your review… 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 the best Aventus clone. I can’t believe how much more smooth it is compared to my EDP. No comparison. It smells expensive. I blind tested it against two of my authentic Aventus batch’s to this… 10 of friends who are not into fragrances at all picked this. I can’t thank you enough. I think Creed needs to clone the Limited Edition… hehehe 😂
Where did you buy it from I want to make sure I don’t get fake juice. Also was it very fruity like an old version of as acetus like back in 2015 or so.
I’m going to make a haul video from all the fragrances I purchased because of your Channel . I made a blind purchase of Michael Kors Extreme Blue & after that I immediately trusted your judgement and criticism on fragrances. I’ve dealt with drug addiction and depression. I am happily 3 months sober now . Whenever I feel horrible I spray myself with extreme blue and feel like I can conquer the world tbh . Not only that ppl have been more polite & talkative with me . I recently purchased Armaf Futura LA Homme I will make a review on it , when it comes in . I hope to get my hands on this though can’t find it for a decent price online .
It's 🔥🔥🔥🔥 I've had it like a year or so, I have to start wearing it more. Especially since it's been maturing for months now. Great review as always Ross, I'll start rockin it more
That is an absolute beast of a fragrance and I’m so glad you got your nose on it. I gotta try the pure perfume and look at maybe getting another bottle. I knew you’d love it.
Nice review buddy!!! I'll wait the comparision with the Afnan Supremacy not only intense, is a little better in performance, but I smell it a little bit "oudy". Moreover, It is necessary to take into account the maceration in the fragrances of armaf. I am sure that this club de nuit will have a better performance in a few months. Best regards🤜🤛
The edp limited ed is the same as 200ml edp.the only difference is the presentation.the price between the two is almost the same, so i recommend going for the 200ml
It gets better everytime I wear it. I do enjoy the drydown and the performance is reasonable. I think this is a solid choice on a rainy day. Wife prefers explorer though.
In my later years in life I gained a fondness of whiskey. I particularly enjoy some of the Scotch whiskies. I started learning about Scotch whiskies and watched several reviews of whiskies. The reviews of whiskey are similar to what I hear about fragrances. I tried hard to pick out different nuances in the whiskey as the reviews claimed. I found out that my taste sensation can change one day to the next. I have even sipped a little in the morning to test my taste buds after a woke up. Maybe I am not blessed with having the sensitive olfactory sensations of some of these people. Or maybe my English teacher's advice should be adhered to. He said, believe none of what you hear and only half of what you see.
When it comes to reviews on TH-cam, This one is often overshadowed by the “Limited Edition edp” which for some reason is rare and extremely hard to find. As of recently, I’m also seeing more and more reviews for the new 2022 release: the Parfum ‘pure perfume’. And of course the reviews for the original “CDNIM edt” overshadows them all. Glad to see someone finally review this one- I’ve always wondered about it!! 💯
Great review. I've had this about a month now and been letting it sit for a bit. After seeing this I'm definitely wearing it tomorrow to my friend's cookout. The original is my most complimented fragrance. Can't wait to wear this now.
Great review. I really appreciate how thorough you are! By the way, some early batches of Aventus were actually more citrus than pineapple forward in the top notes, with bergamot (not lemon) first, followed a few minutes into the drydown with a sweeter pineapple, but to my nose that note was always more subtle. So your description of CDNIM LE is basically a description of pre-2013 Aventus. Also the rose was never very prominent, nor was the apple, and there were barely any florals. The drydown of early Aventus -- bottles predating 2012 -- was little more than intense ashy dryness, like the smell of sooty paper money with smudged, fresh-off-the-press ink, and that unmistakable paper aroma. I actually found OG Aventus to be a bit too simplistic and one-note in the drydown, which is why I never sprang for a full bottle. By your review, it sounds like Armaf nailed that early iteration of the Creed. Looking forward to trying this one.
Yes, it is true, since the first edt release, it simulates the 2010-2014 smoky pineapple scent when the spray was silver, then after that it underwent more than one reformulation, and there are more than one version, such as the edp, which simulates the 2015 version, which contains more pineapple than smoke. But I want you to try Nitro Black Intense, it is a dense smoky pineapple, and I see it as better than Club de Nuit
Yep it's not often that TLTG gives an 8.5 as for me it's a 10 Ross I recently purchase the EDT and really love it I'm planning on buying the pure Parfum version 63$for a 150ml not bad for this compliment king.
@@Clevelandsteama I quite like it, it just feels more refined and less aggressive in the opening than the edt. The smokiness comes through alittle more as well in the dry down. It defiantly doesn't feel as in your face as the edt in a good way and keeps the same DNA. I love it, the changes seems Suttle yet effective.
hey tltg good fragrances both as you say I bought it not less than 2 months ago and I took a risk and it was worth it I have both and they work well on my skin and in the office leave compliments I am very happy with this acquisition for my collection greetings brother 🌊🏄🌴😎🌞😀✌👍💪.
You need to make a comparison with Afnan Supremacy Not Only Intense. I am really curious which one will be the winner for you. Great content as always 👌
I just got the $65 Limited Edition Parfum and the only difference I can tell after first spray is the lack of that Pledge opening from the EDT. Still a great deal for that price if it's the kind of smell you like.
I have the EDP version. It's great and my most complimented fragrance. Smooth lemon opening and not harsh. The EDP is more fruity than smoky to me. Lasts about 6-8 hours. Projects for about 2 hours if you spray your clothes. Some say the EDP and the Limited Edition are basically the same except Limited Edition lasts a little longer.
I just got the regular EDP and I agree with your description. I miss the smoky birch! Very smooth though. Great projector. I wanna get the Limited Edition just so I can get longer than 6 hours longevity.
@Travis Klopp YES!! I thought I was going insane.. thank you so much for that input...ya it's the 200 ml EDP. Because it's like all smoke and barely any citrus at all... But that good smoke don't get me wrong.... I saw someone on here talking about layering it with Terre d'Hermès .. to add the citrus that's missing... or even better they said Perry Ellis America.. that's real heavy with pineapple on the opening.
I like spraying the original club de nuit intense man on the chest then spraying mont blanc explorer on the arms and neck. Both are good on their own but they complement eachother wonderfully.
I just got my CDN Ln yesterday after March anticipation and I’m mostly getting that lemon burst pretty much throughout the fragrance ☹️ The batch is from 11/23 so its basically brand new. Im hoping after some macerating it becomes a better scent. Im not getting any smokiness 😢 I did, however, get the same lemon burst from the Mont Blanc Explorer so maybe that’s just the scent itself 🤔 I have never smelled Aventus before.
Great video as always bud. In a few days I’m doing a tag video that was sent to me … and as a new reviewer that I am it’s my first one and I need to tag someone and I only watch you and gents scents. I’m going to tag you don’t feel the need to do it but if you could that’s cool. Keep up the great work
I only tried the edt. Got compliments every time. I mean, people are asking what i wear. I dont find it very attractive on me. But maybe when it lingers on air it becomes very attractive to people.
I had this delivered yesterday. Really nice. I have cdnim edp. The le is definitely smoother. I did a decant of the 2 mixed together and love it. Two spary comparison of the two on each hand...the edp is much more citric and did last longer on the skin. The le is smoother and a little smoky. I got 12hrs with edp and around 8 with the le
So I finally got this version after all the hype. My verdict… it’s very good… not great. I didn’t try the other ‘harsher’ lemony openings of the others … and this one to me still has a lemon cleaner opening for the first 20 minutes to me. Doesn’t smell like a proper lemon IMO. After a while it gets quite a bit better… and hour in or so. Dry down is very nice. I think Mont Blanc Explorer, despite its poorer performance, is a better quality fragrance. Glad I didn’t try the other CDNMI as from what I heard the openings are even worse.
I just got the regular EDP for $44 and it got me four compliments on the first day. It felt very smooth to me compared to the EDT. The EDP has great projection, more than the EDT. They both only get me 6 hrs on my skin though. The one negative for me on the EDP was the lack of that smoky birch smell from the EDT, which I love. I wanna try the Limited Edition EDP now. It sounds awesome.
Heads up. Supremacy not only intense isn't a 1 to 1 clone. Opening in particular is quite different. But far dry down is very similar. So if you want 1 to 1 clone , cdnim is gonna be better. But performance is spectacular on noi. And will get you more compliment because of it.
Ross I just got Abercrombie & Fitch Together off of your recommendation and it's a fantastic fragrance. Not as close to Invictus Aqua or Legend Spirit as I thought it would be. It does it's own thing and I dig it. The only A&F I don't have is BLUE, and from what I hear it isn't worth much cuz of the performance.
Ross, try fragrances from Rue Broca sub brand of Afnan. They are excellent. R U Serious is excellent Creed Aventus clone and Theoreme for men is excellent Bvlgari Tygar clone. Penthouse Larvotto should be YSL Tuxedo clone and even though I haven't tried it I am sure it will be excellent. Pride and Pride Intense are also very talked about as excellent fragrances. I believe Afnan has done great job with Rue Broca sub brand
You and I have the same month/year in the EDT. I love that one. Def going to have to give this a whirl. I just really wish the pineapple in these was present; very much lemon accord forward. Since I've tried the PVI, it's difficult to NOT crave that pineapple. Anyway...great review! "What is this...velvet?" Hard not to go there when I hear the word. 🤣
I’m thinking of getting the limited edition or the edp or the edt. It how does it compare to your pineapple vintage internees I got a sample of it the other day wore it twice it sTayed on my skin for along time but didn’t seem to project. Just wondering your thoughts on which I should get.
I didn’t know there was a parfum in the limited edition version. I know there is the OG, EDP then limited edition EDP (said to be the best and most expensive) and the newest called pure parfum. I might need to try these
great review...a comparison / summary video of EDT v EDP v Pure Parfum v Limited edition would be amazing...I need to re-purchase a CDNIM and your opinion on this would be perfect...ATB
More fruit in this. Less smoky less harsh less room filing power. I gave my brother the EDT but I kinda miss it for the smokiness is unmatched if you have the older batch. I think it is a bit redundant but if you love this DNA this is a great choice for what it offers.
@@clickman77 Thank you. I’m narrowing my collection down and finding too many of these fragrances redundant. Which is pointless unless you have a review channel.
Just got this the other day bro,I I know you don’t do batches but I noticed your bottle and mine share the same in that it was a November 21 batch,got no complaints as this is absolutely a gem of a fragrance and does what you said it did in terms of longevity and projection,so glad I got this in my collection,keep the good work up bro as I love your input..
Nice review... Try and get your hands on a 2015 cdnim edt... If you like the Smokiness of it... Also 2017 is fine. I have used two bottles of 2015 and I'm currently on my 2nd bottle of 2017... I've tried alot of aventus dna frags... Niche and designer... Eg, Tiziana Terenzi orion, Nishane Hacivat, afnan supremacy silver & noi... Mont blanc explorer, parfums vintage emperor edp, etc... And I still feel the og cdnim is the best overall take on the smoky batches of aventus bearing in mind the price tag as well... Very very difficult to beat that... In fact in all honesty... I've received way more compliments at my work place from my colleagues and my friends as well as compared to Aventus itself... Makes me wonder at times and confuses the daylight outta me... Yet we fragheads still consider Aventus as the King... But that's only in our world... To the lay man cdnim has always topped. ✌
@@TLTGReviews that's great too... I'm not into batches as well but just shared my thoughts on the 2015... It's noticeably potent compared to the latest cdnim batches... Thought you'd like to know since you're a reviewer and since I've been into fragrances since over 30 years... ✌
Just opened my shipment and received this one. The presentation is astounding! I’m judging it as a stand alone, because I don’t own Aventus. I have smelled it, but don’t own it. This is a monster! The lemon opening is great and the dry down even better! I sprayed my hand to test it and after multiple hand washings so far today, it’s still pumping hard! This is a room filler, a take notice type fragrance! Can’t wait to wear it outside! Hats off to CDNIM Limited Edition Pure Parfum. This is my first CDIM Aventus version. I have Sillage and Milestone.
Hey Ross, thanks for the review! Quick question where do you buy your colognes from? I placed my order from perfume empire. Just want to make sure I get an authentic bottle. Thanks!
I have done a lot of blind buying. Ross I trust your nose. You have not led me wrong. I just placed my order. Thank you!
I realize a lot of people are opposed to layering, but my husband layers this fragrance with a couple of sprays of Terre D'hermes and the result is absolutely heavenly. The smoky birch from the CDNIM and the dirty orange and vetiver from the Terre D'hermes work perfectly together. I urge you to try it for yourself.
Ross would love to see you do some layerings in the weekly rotations
Sounds good!
@Travis Klopp thanks for the heads up 👍... that's the EDP batch that I have, very smoky with almost no citrus...and I see Perry Ellis fragrance alot at the different discounters... I'll keep my eyes open for that one.
I love layering. I Iike the idea of no one else smelling like me. And when you find the right combo, it’s amazing. Peace.
Excellent comment, winnie! Will try that out! I miss a specific sweetness in the drydown of CDNIM that I think would elevate this even further. Maybe a layer of Terre will do just that and send me to heaven. Cheers!

This one is so good! Presentation and performance. Projects forever. It’s been 17 hours and I can still smell this on my arm from yesterday lol
I agree it’s so much better than the edt, much less harsh. I liked it so much I bought a back up bottle
This stuff is GOOD! I've received a lot of compliments from this (the edt as well) from people I know and complete strangers. Great review Ross, appreciate you 💪🏾👍🏾
hi u use the LE ? is it good ? is it head turner ?

What a gorgeous beast perfume it is ......i sprayed cdnim lim Ed in my car and after a week so I can still smell that smoky pineapple burge notes .......beast mode performance
Yeah is one of My favorites fragances,Nice video, is strong and good performance, and the more important so cheap, better than expensive fragances.
great review. I have the EDT version, with the harsh first impression...but the Drydown...Oh My God....!! I'm about to get the LE version...Hope it to be great!
Awesome. Thank you for your review. You pushed me over the edge and I’m going to hit that button.
Nice intro, like that you show the unboxing because for the price I thought it was over boxed/packaged in a good way!
I will also say this, no reason to pay the outrageous price for aventus when you can get cdnim parfum or pure Parfum. Great review.
Creed should be very concerned. Whether it's CDNI, Milestone, Sillage..they keep getting significantly better with each version they put out.
Hoping they do a GIT upgrade! VIW would bee nice too!
I wish they would do a Virgin Island Water clone. I’m going to grab a bottle of VIW next week for $339 which is the best price I could find.
@@rd5469 VIW is a masterpiece. Just very hard to wear and not feel out of place in my opinion.
I ended up giving away my EDT version when I got my hands on the LE Parfum edition. It really is extremely good.
Edt get the most attention
@@hogg4lyfe108 Mainly because it's the loudest concentration for the CDNIM but the LE Parfum smells better so that's my personal pick.

But I want you to try Nitro Black Intense, it is a dense smoky pineapple, and I see it as better than Club de Nuit
Yep it's not often that TLTG gives an 8.5 as for me it's a 10 Ross I recently purchase the EDT and really love it I'm planning on buying the pure Parfum version 63$for a 150ml not bad for this compliment king.
Just bought mine, super excited. I own the edt and litterally half of the times I wear it I get 3-5 compliments the other half nobody says a word 😂
How is the limited edition?
@@Clevelandsteama I quite like it, it just feels more refined and less aggressive in the opening than the edt. The smokiness comes through alittle more as well in the dry down. It defiantly doesn't feel as in your face as the edt in a good way and keeps the same DNA. I love it, the changes seems Suttle yet effective.
I have the EDT is it worth it to get the LE??
The one and only CDNIM I own, and I love the presentation and scent 🥰👌🏼
Ordering mine today Thanks for the review,
hey tltg good fragrances both as you say I bought it not less than 2 months ago and I took a risk and it was worth it I have both and they work well on my skin and in the office leave compliments I am very happy with this acquisition for my collection greetings brother 🌊🏄🌴😎🌞😀✌👍💪.
I love the shirt as well
You need to make a comparison with Afnan Supremacy Not Only Intense. I am really curious which one will be the winner for you.
Great content as always 👌
This is the 3rd blind buy u sold me on. I’m a new sub and luv the free game. 👍
I just got the $65 Limited Edition Parfum and the only difference I can tell after first spray is the lack of that Pledge opening from the EDT. Still a great deal for that price if it's the kind of smell you like.
The parfum like 2016 batch of aventus its not smoky as 2011 but more darker and great
Whats happening Ross the Boss. Im going to pull the trigger on ACDNIM parfum this weekend. Ive owned the original EDT for about 1 1/2 yrs.
I have the EDP version. It's great and my most complimented fragrance. Smooth lemon opening and not harsh. The EDP is more fruity than smoky to me. Lasts about 6-8 hours. Projects for about 2 hours if you spray your clothes. Some say the EDP and the Limited Edition are basically the same except Limited Edition lasts a little longer.
I have the EDP as well but got a rather smokier batch than fruity. Love it though.
I just got the regular EDP and I agree with your description. I miss the smoky birch! Very smooth though. Great projector. I wanna get the Limited Edition just so I can get longer than 6 hours longevity.
I agree I have the EDP also, and traffic damn near 🛑 when I wear it! Complement King
@Travis Klopp YES!! I thought I was going insane.. thank you so much for that input...ya it's the 200 ml EDP. Because it's like all smoke and barely any citrus at all... But that good smoke don't get me wrong.... I saw someone on here talking about layering it with Terre d'Hermès .. to add the citrus that's missing... or even better they said Perry Ellis America.. that's real heavy with pineapple on the opening.
Parfum pure parfum vs collocter pride which one's best ??
I like spraying the original club de nuit intense man on the chest then spraying mont blanc explorer on the arms and neck. Both are good on their own but they complement eachother wonderfully.
I have the EDP, it’s nice 😊, I definitely have to get limited edition. Appreciate the review ( a legendary scent creed avn.)
I just got my CDN Ln yesterday after March anticipation and I’m mostly getting that lemon burst pretty much throughout the fragrance ☹️
The batch is from 11/23 so its basically brand new.
Im hoping after some macerating it becomes a better scent. Im not getting any smokiness 😢
I did, however, get the same lemon burst from the Mont Blanc Explorer so maybe that’s just the scent itself 🤔
I have never smelled Aventus before.
I’m trying this love the video Ross stay motivated Dream big 1 mill on the way
Great video as always bud. In a few days I’m doing a tag video that was sent to me … and as a new reviewer that I am it’s my first one and I need to tag someone and I only watch you and gents scents. I’m going to tag you don’t feel the need to do it but if you could that’s cool. Keep up the great work
I only tried the edt. Got compliments every time. I mean, people are asking what i wear. I dont find it very attractive on me. But maybe when it lingers on air it becomes very attractive to people.
I had this delivered yesterday. Really nice. I have cdnim edp. The le is definitely smoother. I did a decant of the 2 mixed together and love it. Two spary comparison of the two on each hand...the edp is much more citric and did last longer on the skin. The le is smoother and a little smoky. I got 12hrs with edp and around 8 with the le
So I finally got this version after all the hype.
My verdict… it’s very good… not great.
I didn’t try the other ‘harsher’ lemony openings of the others … and this one to me still has a lemon cleaner opening for the first 20 minutes to me. Doesn’t smell like a proper lemon IMO.
After a while it gets quite a bit better… and hour in or so. Dry down is very nice.
I think Mont Blanc Explorer, despite its poorer performance, is a better quality fragrance.
Glad I didn’t try the other CDNMI as from what I heard the openings are even worse.
I just got this.. ohmy the smoke and lemon.. worth every penny😊😊. its a beast mode 😅😅
Amazingly deep and heavy water accord is the main feature of all current CDNIM...
Wow 8.5 is a really great rating. I thought about getting this one before, but being worth double was always a tricky one
I just got the regular EDP for $44 and it got me four compliments on the first day. It felt very smooth to me compared to the EDT. The EDP has great projection, more than the EDT. They both only get me 6 hrs on my skin though. The one negative for me on the EDP was the lack of that smoky birch smell from the EDT, which I love. I wanna try the Limited Edition EDP now. It sounds awesome.
I'd love to know what your outcome is when you get it.
Thank you for the review, I really wanted to know how it compared to the others.
It's really hard to come by this edition here in India.
Heads up. Supremacy not only intense isn't a 1 to 1 clone. Opening in particular is quite different. But far dry down is very similar.
So if you want 1 to 1 clone , cdnim is gonna be better.
But performance is spectacular on noi. And will get you more compliment because of it.
Ross I just got Abercrombie & Fitch Together off of your recommendation and it's a fantastic fragrance. Not as close to Invictus Aqua or Legend Spirit as I thought it would be. It does it's own thing and I dig it. The only A&F I don't have is BLUE, and from what I hear it isn't worth much cuz of the performance.
Blue is a great gym fragrance
I picked up a attar non alcohol version while in Delhi India and its great it lasts on clothing for days not hours
Ross, try fragrances from Rue Broca sub brand of Afnan. They are excellent. R U Serious is excellent Creed Aventus clone and Theoreme for men is excellent Bvlgari Tygar clone. Penthouse Larvotto should be YSL Tuxedo clone and even though I haven't tried it I am sure it will be excellent. Pride and Pride Intense are also very talked about as excellent fragrances. I believe Afnan has done great job with Rue Broca sub brand
Dude this is 10/10 masterpiece
Mine doesn't project or last at allll!! Maybe get like 1-2 hours
Anybody else have this problem?
I could not stand the opening in the EDT. It turned my nose for even normal Aventus. I will try it again
You and I have the same month/year in the EDT. I love that one. Def going to have to give this a whirl. I just really wish the pineapple in these was present; very much lemon accord forward. Since I've tried the PVI, it's difficult to NOT crave that pineapple. Anyway...great review!
"What is this...velvet?"
Hard not to go there when I hear the word. 🤣
I’m thinking of getting the limited edition or the edp or the edt. It how does it compare to your pineapple vintage internees I got a sample of it the other day wore it twice it sTayed on my skin for along time but didn’t seem to project. Just wondering your thoughts on which I should get.
I didn’t know there was a parfum in the limited edition version. I know there is the OG, EDP then limited edition EDP (said to be the best and most expensive) and the newest called pure parfum. I might need to try these
The Limited Edition EDP is a misprint. It should have said Parfum if I'm not mistaken.
The Limited Edition says "parfum" on the bottle but it's EDP concentration just like the regular EDP, which I have.
@@Blazntrax81 I have one that says Limited Edition Eau De Parfum on the bottle, and Limited Edition Parfum on the box
When this is all done, would love to hear which is the king? Armaf limited, Afnan Supremacy, or Perfume vintage.....
great review...a comparison / summary video of EDT v EDP v Pure Parfum v Limited edition would be amazing...I need to re-purchase a CDNIM and your opinion on this would be perfect...ATB
I'm still a rookie. That knows more and understands more than the averager consumers because of your expertise.
Anybody? Is this redundant if you have the EDT and don’t mind the so-called harsh opening? I actually like CDIM better than Aventus or just as much.
More fruit in this. Less smoky less harsh less room filing power. I gave my brother the EDT but I kinda miss it for the smokiness is unmatched if you have the older batch. I think it is a bit redundant but if you love this DNA this is a great choice for what it offers.
@@clickman77 Thank you. I’m narrowing my collection down and finding too many of these fragrances redundant. Which is pointless unless you have a review channel.
I’m going to get it and maybe get rid of my edt. Good video.
On notino they have a v4 new release of the limited edition which has different notes. Anyone tried it?
Just got this the other day bro,I
I know you don’t do batches but I noticed your bottle and mine share the same in that it was a November 21 batch,got no complaints as this is absolutely a gem of a fragrance and does what you said it did in terms of longevity and projection,so glad I got this in my collection,keep the good work up bro as I love your input..
Nice vid ross✌🏻✌🏻🇩🇿
This is absolutely impossible to get in Australia - so frustrating
Ok ill wait to pull trigger on SUPREMACY , have 2 bottles of the Unlimited👍
Hey
Thanks for a very nice video.
Your wristwatch looks very nice. Can you tell me what brand and model it is?
Thanks
Nice review... Try and get your hands on a 2015 cdnim edt... If you like the Smokiness of it... Also 2017 is fine.
I have used two bottles of 2015 and I'm currently on my 2nd bottle of 2017... I've tried alot of aventus dna frags... Niche and designer... Eg, Tiziana Terenzi orion, Nishane Hacivat, afnan supremacy silver & noi... Mont blanc explorer, parfums vintage emperor edp, etc... And I still feel the og cdnim is the best overall take on the smoky batches of aventus bearing in mind the price tag as well... Very very difficult to beat that... In fact in all honesty... I've received way more compliments at my work place from my colleagues and my friends as well as compared to Aventus itself... Makes me wonder at times and confuses the daylight outta me... Yet we fragheads still consider Aventus as the King... But that's only in our world... To the lay man cdnim has always topped. ✌
I don't play the batch game. It's not that serious lol
@@TLTGReviews that's great too... I'm not into batches as well but just shared my thoughts on the 2015... It's noticeably potent compared to the latest cdnim batches... Thought you'd like to know since you're a reviewer and since I've been into fragrances since over 30 years... ✌
@@TLTGReviews Same with the batch game. That's where i draw the line lmao
I already have Aventus, Explorer, and the original edt version and I still watched this video to the end. What the hell is wrong with me?
Just opened my shipment and received this one. The presentation is astounding!
I’m judging it as a stand alone, because I don’t own Aventus. I have smelled it, but don’t own it.
This is a monster! The lemon opening is great and the dry down even better! I sprayed my hand to test it and after multiple hand washings so far today, it’s still pumping hard! This is a room filler, a take notice type fragrance! Can’t wait to wear it outside! Hats off to CDNIM Limited Edition Pure Parfum. This is my first CDIM Aventus version. I have Sillage and Milestone.
I was gonna get pineapple intense but the sample I got was super disappointing. This is what I am buying
My signature scent of today is Mancera Soliel d' italie. I owned it for about 3 months. Wore it about 5 times. Still learning how to test
No relevance to the topic.
Awesome juice. Great review!
Does someone know where to get it? I can only find it for 140$ at notino right now.
I love it! Awesome clone!
Hey Ross, thanks for the review! Quick question where do you buy your colognes from? I placed my order from perfume empire. Just want to make sure I get an authentic bottle. Thanks!
