@@joelthenose Where do you buy CDNIM EDP?
Respect for being honest most fragrance reviewers like to act like they can totally smell a difference but the fact that it’s so close 99% of people won’t tell the difference
Other reviewers love lying about aventus
It’s not that it smells different it just is fainter and weaker projection
@@thecollinzboy I have the CDNI EDT and it lasts for hours.
@@user-wk2jj9fw5d they also lie about the "tons" or "insane" amount of compliments they get just by wearing cologne.
@@user-wk2jj9fw5d pure trash I got sample 3 days ago and hate it
I made the decision to ditch buying Aventus recently having been an immovable supporter for many years, but having just compared CDNIM to the latest batch of Aventus, there is no point in defending it anymore. I love Creed but I prefer making smart financial choices.
I concur completely ❗❗❗❗
These are not the reviewers. These are the non reviewer people from forums. Reviewers are liking cdnim in general
edt or edp?
Completely agree! I had a 2012 batch and fell in love with it. Every batch after never compared, with the exception of a 2015 batch that I picked up. I was extremely loyal to Creed but I won’t be paying that premium, that goes up every year for a product that gets diluted every single year.
Whenever you think you're bad with money, just remember that there are people who spend 400$ on what smells like a box of fruit loops.
😂😂😂😂❤❤❤❤. AWESOME
Lmao I thought I was the only one who thought it smells like cereal but I love Aventus
Wrong. Armaf is horrid. Creed Aventus has a special musk in which Creed owns the rights to it. Aventus is the King for a reason. Often imitated but never duplicated.
"Often imitated but never duplicated." Yeah they just get 99.9% close but never 100% gotcha!
I was wearing CDNIM and a colleague thought I was wearing Creed Aventus. Really blew me away because he was talking it smelled like the early batches.
I agree 100%. I have cdnim edt batch 2019, yes it has a harsh opening but let it settle for a while after applying, the drydown is soo great! Longevity 12hrs+ for me. 2-3 sprays are enough for the whole day. It is true, you can't find the difference. The best aventus clone ever 🔥👌👍
Shutup.
@@magacop5180 I'll be honest, the real Aventus isn't that good to begin with and CDNIM smells like you would expect cheap cologne to smell like: harsh and synthetic. People say women love it but I've never had a woman compliment me on it compared to a Chanel or JPG. Most Creed fragrances in general are rather boring and somewhat generic. Viking smells like the mint in my toothpaste and OV smells like cheap soap.
That's fine, most of us don't wear cologne to get compliments, at least I don't. I wear it because I like the smell and that's why I will wear creed aventus until the day I die or something better comes along.
I agree fully. Got 2 compliments literally back to back as soon as I walked out my house - wearing Armaf on the day I bought it! Never got compliments wearing Aventus for years.
I just stopped a guy in the grocery store this morning because he was wearing Creed aventus. I really like the way it smells.
I see people say this all the time and I have trouble believing it. I've gotten so many compliments when wearing Aventus, mostly from women
@@loveinautumn3978 that's exactly what I did, but to a random guy at my work place a few years ago. I have a few "clones", notably CDNIM EDT and the Limited Edition, and Supremacy Silver from Afnan. I've received tons of compliments on the Afnan EDP, and only 1 on the Armaf side. I recently purchased Creed Aventus didn't waste much time in using it. I then headed to the pharmacy to pick up a few things, and while I was there I was approached by a woman that told me that I smelled REALLY good. I too probably won't purchase another bottle of Creed Aventus due to the high price, but believe it's worth buying at least one bottle throughout your lifetime.
Creed is the most overrated niche house. And that's coming from me who have owned about 10.
wtf? I hate sex, its overrated. Thats why I've had it over 69 times this month alone.
I'm done with it too. Took a huge dump over the past couple of years. Not worth that kind of money.
@@jeffj3785 yeah the quality just isn't there with creed for what your paying
Creed even more overrated than Roja's parfum cologne line
@@user-wk2jj9fw5d Yeah Alexandria fragrances has a lot of great Roja clones. And $40 a bottle.
#1 reason, because Armaf Club de Nuit Intense Man is about 1/10th the $ and near impossible to tell the difference.
Don't feed the Creed greed.
@Paul
If that's what you think,so be it.
Keep feedin' the Creed greed.
@Paul A lot of people purchase Aventus because of status and to brag/post on social media.
I'm not gonna buy another creed.. At the rate you are using it you have enough to last 40 years.
😂👏👏👏👍
Hahaha true.
Perfumers WARNED ME about Creed, that they have reformulated it, and it is 10X WEAKER than it used to be...My Son did NOT LISTEN, and paid over $400 for it, and it lasted ONLY 3 HOURS, THEN DISAPPEARED! I gave him my CCDNIM EDP. Now he is happy, but still pissed about the money...What does that tell you all??! Do your research.
I’m like your son.
Idk mines lasted over 24 hours no bs
big F
i ordered a sample of CDNIM and after using both CDNIM and Aventus for a day i can still clearly smell the difference, despite their similarity. CDNIM particularly has a stronger citrus flavour. i personally think that if you own both, you will start favouring one after the other, but i don't know yet if i would prefer Aventus over CDNIM or vice versa
There will definitely be a difference side by side, but people tend to overlook what people smell in the air when you have it on. Virtually, there is no difference when someone smells you when you walk past them.
My 2013 batch of aventus smells nothing like my 2020 bottle. Creed ruined aventus. it wasnt all hype! It used to be amazing. The new bottles are basically bad clones.
@Paul I hope so. Any tips for aging
@Paul Exactly! Some people said that the demand of Aventus is too high so Creed need to push it out to the market before let it aging properly and long enough in the lab. And I conpletely agree with that.
But what I wanna say is Creed also fail us because of that, customers need to get the complete dna when they reviece a botttle right? The scent need to be properly before put it the bottle for us. So right now I'm just spray a few shots after bought a new Aventus bottle then let it sit for At Least 6 months to a year, because if you use it immediately it just too fruity, meanwhile I'll use old bottle and CDNIM limited parfum, this combination will get about 90% of exact smoky pineapple I want.
guys it's not a fucking bottle of whiskey it's not going to get better over time. points for wishful thinking but the reality is that they have reformulated so it's not the same as previous versions, that's why it's different not because it "needs to be aged" lol
p.s. you can look up on the internet if you want the information is free. all fragrances have a shelf life typically between 3-5 years, depending on proper storage. so in fact, quite the opposite is true. i am not going to respond to the hate i get from this comment :) have a nice day!
@@dangerwildman7051 ur wrong, it needs to marry, that’s why people say the older batches are better every three years it’s the same thing” the new one is shit not like the old one” every three years! Store it properly it should last indefinitely within reason
Why support a company that has inflated pricing for the perfume that they reformulated a bunch of times & doesnt even perform on par with its clones lol..
That was a terrific video. I plan to buy Club de Nuit Intense for my boyfriend. I enjoy the smell of Aventus but didn't think the price was justified.
get the limited edition of Club de Nuit intense, it’s much smoother
Well it's kinda justified because it is a luxury item, hence the price is part of it.
Buy parfums vintage Emperor Extrait probably the Best clone and half 1/3 the price better performance too then the new creed aventus
Don’t listen to them but cdnim but edp limited edition cause the edt sometimes need to let it macerate for a month or 2
I mix.. in a fill from the bottle travel sprayer... Montblanc Explorer with Club de Nuit Man Intense EDP ( the batch I got was quite smoky).. and viola!!.. instant Aventus. Try it.
I own creed 2016 batch two bottles and went to smell CDNIM intense in a store the other day. CDNIM intense smells shit in start and that is where Creed exceeds. I wanted to peel of my skin where i put CDNIM 🤢
Clone houses like Alexandria Fragrances, ALT Fragrances, Scentual Obsessions, and Dua are getting so good at clones that we don't need to spend ridiculous prices on niche fragrances.
Alt sucks. I bought executive 26 that's was supposedly copy of aventus and performance is very poor. and they didn't want to give my money back..!! DON'T WASTE YOUR MONEY WITH ALT. Bad company
@@Tavinho502 Some fragrances just don't perform well on certain skin types. It may not be the clone house but the particular fragrance you're using.
@@IQscan51 I have about 10 designers house fragrances and one niche and they all perform good and great on my. But Alt SUCKS big time. and worst is that they only accept positive comments and they deleted the ones aren't accord to their propaganda on Facebook and their website
I buy Creed Aventus because its Creed Aventus. If I'm wearing CDN other folks may not know it, but I will. And thats what matters to me. To each their own.
Completely agree. The hype Aventus has, has made Creed to increase its price to rocked highs. So I decided to get actually the same juice for a most reasonable price.
I ordered the ALT Executive 26 which it smells the same as the original.
On point. I bought my last bottle of Aventus a couple of weeks ago not knowing they had "reformulated" it, i.e., destroyed the cologne. Some things you just don't mess with. Coke found that out the hard way and Creed will too. Will check out Club de Nuit next. Thanks and keep up the great work.
It’s really good man. Let me tell you I held off on buying it for so long but I pulled the trigger. Man let me tell you the really really good I put 2 sprays on at 5 pm and currently it’s 2 am and it’s still so strong I smell it every where. Really really nice. I will always be getting this from now on. If you are hesitant bro just do it. You won’t regret it
CDNIM isn’t it man. Trust me, it smells like lemon cleaning wipes lol. And 75% of people will agree with that. It’s the people that can’t afford creed that say CDNIM is better. I own both and get tons of compliments from both men and woman wearing creed.
@@ItzWavyBrazylol idiot
I hear you and I agree with you. The last bottle of Creed Aventus I bought was the 10th year anniversary bottle thinking that it would be something special and not weak as the new batches are. I was wrong and I regret buy it. Oh well, live and learn.
Same! I was hoping to capture the magic of the bottles I Bought from 2010 to 2016. A TRILLION compliments, from the moment I left the door. After I ran out of those. Bought newer bottles, not on complement ever again, from creed. Week, translucent, pineapple skin scent. SO SO SO DEPRESSING. It was BRILLIANT until 2017
I bought the 10th anniversary. And Yawn. Once again. Not one compliment, when I sprayed it on, and drove to the bar, 30 minutes later my friends couldn’t even tell I was wearing anything. 😖😖
I love the scent on the Aventus but doesn’t last . The bottle I currently have will be my last
@@Bada_Boom78 2020 batch? I got the 11/20 batch hope it’s okay
People who use clone fragrances are the same ones who wear fake Rolexes
The lemon pledge smell comes from the edt, not the edp. They mostly fixed it for the edp
My EDT has very poor longevity
@@paulgeddes7384 I have both the edt and edp. The edt lasts 7 hours or so for me. The edp lasts about the same but with less abrasive opening notes
@@jtubz187 that's a result
Have the edp, the edt and the attar and they all have the lemon pledge smell
@@markmd695 it is true that after that initial blast the dry down is really good 🙌🙌🙌
Like you, I had one of the original formulations and it lasted me close to 7 years. It’s a shell of what it used to be and 100% agree with you...there are plenty of other Aventus inspired fragrances for much cheaper if I feel the Aventus itch come again. Great video!!
I wear CDNIM limited edition that day. And my friend who has Aventus thought I'm wearing Aventus. That says it all.
Are you from USA? If yes where did you bought it and hm? Thanks! ✌🏼
I'm from Malaysia.
The edp or the Parfum?
@@vanillaoud9861 I've seen CDNIM bottles at perfume discounters at outlet malls if you don't want to get online.
@@wcastillo2501 yeah but the limited edition is very hard to find. Thanks tho
I've never smelled Aventus but I bought the club de nuit edp based on this video and man I'm sorry but it's garbage
Give it a couple of days to settle. Take the cap off and let oxygen get in the bottle and try again. It will eventually smell so sexy in the air. Trust me
I own both and they smell exactly the same to me. I actually get more compliments with the Armaf. I ordered Armaf Mimestone (Creed MI clone) and Armaf Sillage (Creed SMW clone). I heard they're just as good.
Lol
🧢
@@ttgdirk7371 Do you own both?
I totally agree 100% on this. I bought CDNI in mid-2020 just to get the idea of how Aventus smell like. And just in mid-2021. I decided to buy the OG, Creed Aventus newer batch (20E01N Batch). NGL the juice inside is very high quality. It's smooth, very well blended and natural smelling. No harsh opening and synthetic like CDNI. But the performance is very disappointing. It's not long lasting. 2-3 hour and it's gone. While CDNI performs like a beast every single time!! It's a shame that Aventus is not what is used to be anymore. Newer batches just not worth it, And older batches just way too overpriced at this point. No point in buying Aventus anymore. There's a lot of Aventus alternatives out there that you can buy. And it's not gonna break your wallet like Aventus do.
I got Aventus a couple of days ago and I can barely smell it after 30 minutes, gonna keep trying im still in Denial lol
I bought my last one a few months ago and returned it after a couple weeks due to how terribly bad performance was. Never again will I buy it or any creed again
I'm glad i haven't pulled the trigger on CREED A...👍
I love Nishane Hacivat. The oakmoss dry down, just does it for me, also better value for money.
I’d rather use Hacivat tbh. Some similarities, but Hacivat is its own fragrance and performs really well.
Much respect for your take, and I agree pretty much across the board. I have CDNIM and tested it alongside a sample of Aventus and I will say, the opening is much higher quality for the Aventus. It's not even close, to my nose at least. Aventus is natural and you don't get blasted with alcohol/synthetic lemon whatsoever. I mean, it has to be when you look at the price difference. It's gotta excel somewhere, right? But, none of that matters because the drydown of CDNIM is basically 95% of Aventus at less than a fraction of the cost... so yeah, i'm right there with you.
"I mean, it has to be when you look at the price difference. It's gotta excel somewhere, right?"
No, it doesn't "gotta" anything, but that is EXACTLY what name brands want you to think. It's marketing psychology 101.
@@BertRussell4711 As with most things in life, perhaps less so in the world of fragrances, you do get what you pay for. Creed is one of the few brands where many would argue otherwise, myself included.
@@TranceForLyfe "You get what you pay for" is an old adage that people deploy to make themselves feel better after they've been ripped off by what they thought was a bargain. Yes, price is somewhat correlated with quality, but only minimally so. There are all kinds of prices and deals out there, and you can just as easily be ripped off by something *over*priced. Proof of this is evidenced by the fact that you so often see the exact same item (i.e., same brand and model) sold at wildly different prices, depending upon the venue in which it is sold.
More important than price is *value,* and marketers are VERY good at manipulating our perception of value. Yes, you often do have to pay more to get something of quality, but the correlation between price and quality is WAY too weak to serve as a guide. Your "guide" should be your product research (reviews, reputation, sampling, etc.), with price playing only a minor role in your assessment.
As for Creed, I've sampled their fragrances, and while I do perceive the quality, at several hundred dollars a pop, I find the *value* lacking. But some may feel that small increments in quality are worth disproportionately large prices. Or perhaps they just wanna feel that they've got "the best." If that's you, then Creed is right up your alley.
@@BertRussell4711 human brain usually think expensive = better, 300$ fragrance doesn't mean 10 times better than 30$ fragrance. if u sell the same item with different price, people would think the higher price the better
this man IS DEFINITELY ON THE FBI MOST WANTED LIST NOW
I have 3 bottles and I'm still find myself using hacivat or clones more often
I’m the same way
have you tried pineapple vintage intense and if so, how does it compare to aventus?
Its too expensive to just go spray away
@@Impatk try Swiss Arabian Shawq superb alternative of Pineapple vintage as similar quality of CDNIM
Just got my Armaf( Limited Edition) and it is exactly like Creed A.. Packaging and Scent are beautiful. Extremely pleased...
The problem with reviewers is they like to exaggerate and lie,..if you’re buying creed over club de nuit you’re doing for status purpose just like 90% of the reviewers that praise creed ,,club de nuit is 100% a better cologne better projection,,and I have both
I Just received my Club de nuit intense for men parfume today and my wife loves it she says I might get into a little trouble tonight, if you catch my drift 😅
That's depressing
@@user-wk2jj9fw5d you haven't seen my wife 😆😆
🤣
At last... Someone comes up with the real truth!
Bought it today there is nothing like it
If you’re a frag head you’ll definitely notice a difference. The opening of CDNI smells like cheap toilet cleaner. The dry down is not that bad, but if you appreciate the subtle differences of fragrances go with the creed.
Creed doesn't even smell like Creed anymore.
@@rudyrosasjl TFW lol
The Armaf is no where close to Creed. My nose got burnt with Armaf. I sold it after few months. You get what you pay for. Nothing in life is free or great value! Everything has its market price.
If anyone can’t tell a difference means you not there as a true fragrance reviewer.
I agree. I'd rather own 3 Creed fragrances than 20 competitors. Quality matters.
I will never waste all that money to pay for Creed Aventus, the recent formulation that only performs 2 hours max! I have CDNIM and performs like a beast!!
I just got aventus like a week ago and its to me the best thing ive ever smelled. I just ordered the 200 ml bottle of cdnim and if it smells the same as aventus im gonna cry
@@Consumername did you cry?
I agree when it dries down u can’t really tell the difference
Only reason to buy Aventus(or most Creed) is prestige. Like women spending a lot for some handbags- to mog others.
So correct, prestige.👍
Mire tu video y con mucho respeto. Creo que tienes la Francia falsa de aventus. La original no trae la marca de aventus en el atomizador en la parte de arriba. Donde la compraste?
There was a cologne very similar to aventus before creed made one. Do you remember what is was?
Its overrated for how much it costs, specially when some of its clones are almost identical.
@Paul Wow, what a douchebag comment.
@Paul doesn’t matter still gets lots of complaints
I won't be buying it again, I've bought many bottles over the years. The problem is that it is soooooo watered down and weak now, I have to do around 8 sprays. They're basically giving us half measures, but charging full price. I've got a few clones, the best one by far in my opinion is Emperor by Parfums Vintage. It's made with high levels of naturals like Aventus, but it lasts all day like Aventus used to before they started conning their loyal customers. Emperor is quite expensive, but still well under half the price of Aventus, but you only need a third of the sprays.
8 sprays 🤣🤣 daamn i need one or max 2 and im good for a day..
@@groovyroman5528 . Why do you think some bottles are so weak?
Honestly even after 8 sprays my girlfriend can't smell it after a few hours. I bought it in Harrods in London, I should of taken it back really.
Hey Joel - what’s your opinion on how long fragrances last in a bottle? Since this is from 2012 has it gone bad at all? I’m sure creed using quality materials would last longer in the bottle than most but what’s your overall thoughts behind this?
Let me tell you i live in a very hot and humid country Philippines. I have frags that are more than 10years old and they’re still good. I just store them in a dark drawer and that’s it. In short store them properly and don’t worry about them going bad
The only time I've had heat ruin a fragrance was when I kept a travel bottle in my car for like 4 summers ,
Heat isn't really what kills it , exposure to the direct sunlight over long periods of time ruins it.
Your thumbnail made me think you were Jeremy that’s why I clicked lol
Hi Joel! Poor Jeremy destroyed his vintage Aventus! I think you're right- it's crazy to buy it if CDNI is indistinguishable. Goodnight! 👍🙂
KRAFT
I have never smelt Aventus as they do not sell it within 700km from me. I own both CDNIM EDT and EDP. The EDP is beautiful and I get so many compliments wearing it, not that it is what I'm going for. I just love the smell and its really long lasting. Thanks the great vid!
Which one smells better edt or edp?
@@benlkm1557 edp for sure.
Isn't the CDNIM EDP less smoky than the EDP?
Good afternoon, 1st time checking out your channel, enjoy your take on AVENTUS and I completely agree with your assessment, I own both and many other inspirations of AVENTUS and agree the MONEY is certainly best spent elsewhere rather than CREED, be safe and BLESSED BROTHER 💯
It’s NOT about what others can smell. Just like watches, you do not wear them or others you do it for you. Wear what makes you happy!
💯% agree, I have the EDT & the Ltd EDT & find myself using Armaf over my Creed also have the 10th anniversary bottle, Creed not doing themselves any favors here, go back to your OG recipe or else Mr Creed you'll fall out the bus.
Thanks Joel.
i got both , creed is way waaaay better stop lying to ppl , anyone can tell the difference
Creed used to be way better but now even clones are better then Aventus
I do have a couple Creed fragrances and like them, but I do not have or care for Aventus. That said, this video reminds me of the kind where they insist that you should never buy a Rolex, because a “Molex” (knockoff) tells time and looks just like the genuine. The point of luxury products, is that they’re a luxury. Can you get by cheaper? Sure. Do you get the same confidence, and feeling of luxury and specialness? Nope.
We have to use some reasoning here. Aventus had to be created for the clones to be created. If you now prefer the clones, there is merit in that, but credit is due where it's due, the clone is a clone because Aventus became so big.
Can't disagree.
Creed made it waaay too easy for a clone company to compete . Mainly the price point is what did it .
@@nappsandnurture agree on this. The sky high prices it charges and drastic drop in quality of its juice compared to past batches, resulted in people turning to cheaper and better alternatives on the market.
I think , if there was no issue with quality control many of us would stay loyal to Greed …oops I mean Creed . I won’t pay $500 for a skin scent that lasts 10 minutes. So it’s over with Creed for me.
@@finnt6569 it’s a business, once you get sloppy you make it easy for others to capitalize. Smh . The crazy part is that some people want you to still spend the money for less quality and performance. That’s not how life works .
I've never subscribed to Creed. I think they're a greedy company. There are better offerings in my opinion from other niche houses at a much more affordable cost. Nishane for example.
Dua Fragrances has so many good interpretations of Creed Fragrances. Especially Aventus. All are great as well
I'm not sure how it is with the cdnim edp. But I have the Edt version and real creed aventus too. But I can 100% tell the difference. The creed has a softer alcohol scent and it's more mellow but that is probably down to my cdnim being EDT. But that is the only difference really. cdnim is more "intense" than aventus but I would expect the EDT to smell even better and get rid of that alcohol scent even more.
Hey thanks 🙏 for the video I will trust you on it and buy the Armaf hope you make more video like this kind of contents I love to save money on good cologne
Agreed! The only difference is in projection. And in THAT category Armaf CDNIM takes the cake. Compliments for days. The people who say that creed smells better is saying it because they WANT IT TO SMELL BETTER.
just bought the big refill bottle and regret it. i wanted the pineapple smell guess i been let down
Creed Aventus has a refill bottle?🤔
@@atsusanoumegah646 yes, they have small atomizers and the "falcon" ones that have nothing but juice in it with no sprayer.
Ive smelled creed an mont blanc explorer they smell about the same I prefer explorer to be honest an its way cheaper
Hey buddy when your right your right ,sometimes a fragrance can get too big even for it’s own boots peace out ✌️
I have multiple bottles of Aventus, and i agree i think anything after 2016 is not much good.
I also like CDNIM and have edt & edp.
But no way do they smell the same.
If you cant pick it, you might as well not have frags.
And yes i like both
What's the difference? Ps: Genuine question!
I wear L’Aventure by Al Haramain a lot more than I wear Aventus. L’Aventure is my most complimented fragrance in my collection and I own over 150, both designer and niche. It performs great on my skin and lasts 10+ hours. I recently purchased Frapin The Orchid Man. It’s supposedly an Aventus like fragrance. To my nose, the top and mid smells identical to Nishane Hacivat. The dry down smells identical to CDNIM. It smells incredible. I received a compliment on it a few days ago while at lunch.
Bro what is your Batchcode or Year from L‘Aventure? Mine is so weak :/
@Minh Duc Ph Mine is BH:U 180717011604. I think it’s a 2017 or 2018 bottle. It’s my second bottle I’ve owned. I go nose blind to it not long after applying it like I do with Aventus. That may be the case with you also. I think it’s gone hours later, but it’s still present and projecting. I’ll get a whiff every once in a while. I’ve received a compliment 11 hours after applying 3 sprays on my neck. I own the Intense version also that I purchased when it was first released a couple of years ago. I had to order it directly from Al Haramain online store because it wasn’t available in the US. I don’t notice any difference in performance.
1st time checking out your channel. And I want to thank you. I I’m waiting for my first bottle of CDNI and i was looking for reviews for that particular juice, and stumbled on your video which made me happy to hear about how good this fragrance is according to you. Thank you!
Same here 🙏🏽
I have a large decant and it’s nice. I see the appeal. But I tried one of DUAs versions of the old Aventus, and it’s soooo good. It’s a beautiful dupe of the old vintage Aventus. You MUST try it. And it lasts longer than Aventus.
May I ask what DUA you are referring to?
Is Creed not so expensive because it’s perfume and lasts longer
Club de nuit also beats aventus in that department too
@@SuperSyro1 ordered creed not came yet
NOW THIS IS CALLED A FUK##N REAL REVIEW.
If you're late to knowing this, buy the black bottle you won't regret it.
Club de nuit apparently varies a lot with production date. If you own a bottle and you think it’s good, can you specify the production date please?
Great videos! I have a bottle of CDNIM, but the EDT. Is there enough of a difference to justify getting a bottle of the EDP instead? Thanks
I have LOVED the narrative arc from your first CDIM video to this
This fragrance was a monster in 2011-2015, then SOMETHING happened!! Idk what it is, but they opted for this bland fruitiness, which sadly, is what it's known for. The true smokey aventus of those two year golden era was when this fragrance was a monster. I'd be HAPPY to pay anything for that, but sadly it's not around.
Beg to differ David. My 2016 bottle is kick ass compared to my 2020 bottle. Much more potent, longevity and sillage. 2020 is mediocre. Perhaps they just changed the batch code 😁😁👍
you want smoky Aventus, look no further than Afnan Supremacy Silver. thank me later.
@@o751106 still not smoky enough...
Working off microperfume samples here so who knows but the first question I ask is can I stand smelling this for 8 hours and the second question does it even last 8 hours? Creed meets the first challenge, Intense Man smells too much like margaritas to me it instantly comes off cheap, aventus tones it down with a more smooth creaminess. Long story short, I ended buying a 100ml of Savauge Elixir, a completely different fragrance but one of the few I loved more than 20 minutes. If I am going to spend the $208 I spent on Savauge Elixir I better love it 8 hours after spraying it and I don't want to ask how many times I have to respray a fragrance that is $300 for 100ml. Smelling the dry downs of both as I finish typing this the Aventus is so damn weak and that to me is shameful for the price point. I know there is a $300 fragrance I love, the winter me, Dolce Gabanna Velvet Incenso. While I was debating spending the money I ran into the Spicebomb line and was blown away by the price difference and the stronger affinity to winter.
I tried a micro sample of Aventus and I'm glad I didn't buy a whole bottle because it's just not that great. My dad wears something similar and I can't get past the association.
Club de Nuit is such a troll lol
I tried the official Aventus ( 2023 batch) and the club de nuit.. the first impressions are totally different and CDN starts smelling like Aventus only after an hour or so.
I only recently got into fragrances. I'm really curious how different the original creed aventus is. The new formulas smell great to me.
2017 and before is good aventus. Anything after don't bother unless you have disposable income. Aventus is still better than clones to wear but in the air it doesn't justify spending the extra few hundred dollars because clones are so close to the new formulations of aventus
Thought it was a different person when I saw him shaved
🤣
Are you getting paid by armaf?
I’m seeing this on a lot of video I gotta buy this and I know Wer it’s like 28$ and they say it’s like 95% match
I recently bought my first bottle of CDNIM EDP and I gotta tell ya,
THERE IS PRETTY MUCH NO DIFFERENCE COMPARED TO AVENTUS. If anything the CDNIM lasts a bit longer than Aventus.
Yo, very bold statement Joelito 👊 luv your honesty n style!!!
😀
But it doesn't have pineapple right?
Ultimately, the value with Creed fragrances just isn't there. Even at discounter prices, Creeds are simply poor value. You get very synthetic scents that have poor longevity and/or projection. Every year, their quality and performance goes down. Creed managed to turn in their piss poor quality control (batch variation) into a "selling point" It's unfortunate because I like Aventus, Royal Oud, and MI. But they just suck in value.
What is doing Creed in is the fact that companies can copy their scents to a near-identical level at substantially cheaper costs. When companies are making Creed scents that are are better than what they currently make, they have a problem.
Agree 100%. Only difference CDNIM gets complimented way more
Great video, Great Revelations! I just finished the 105mL bottle of CDNIM EDT (in under a year, despite having more than 50 Fragrances! That's to tell you how much I love the juice!). And I also have the PARFUM SPECIAL EDITION. I have L'AVENTURE by AlHaramain. I have Zebra by Rasasi, and I will soon get SUPREMACY SILVER by AFNAN. So now that I don't even get the "original" smell and performance of AVENTUS, plus the fact that I will be getting only 100ml instead of 120 for the price, (and as if they wanted to add more salt to our injuries, we learnt that they're even hiking their prices! That's senseless!) why the F***, would I buy Aventus!? Why would I do that for!? Unless of course, like you said, I'm Olivier Creed! And of course I'm not! (I would rather buy different Clones of AVENTUS for the price of AVENTUS, George!😜)
So thank you so much for having the guts and the honesty to tell the world the truth!
I trust your nose!
Which 1 is better between CDN EDP AND SPECIAL EDITION.,? I wanna place an order for 1 please assist bro 🙏🏽
Joel, I can't disagree with you at all as an owner of both Aventus and all versions of CDNIM. CDNIM is way too close and inexpensive not to be an alternative to the original.
So this stuff truly smells like Aventus??
@@a.d.c7941 The problem is aventus does not have a unique smell imo
whats the best version of the cdnim?? im looking to buy my first bottle don't care on price just want the best one
@@JubbArts If you want the very best, get the Limited Edition, preferably the older one that says Eau de Parfum on the bottle.
@@a.d.c7941 The drydown is very close.
1. Never pay retail for Creed even tho it is one of the best natural smelling fragrances house out there
2. Aventus came out in 2010 that mean clones had YEARS to perfect their clones to mirror Aventus
3. In the day of technology and Facebook you can find older batches of Creed for a good price and can find new batches online for cheaper than retail
4. I will never get a clone of Aventus definitely if I smelled the original first I don’t want to smell a clone
the „harsh opening“ is not there in the edp it was in the edt only imo.
I see your point and still I do not want to support a copy 🤔 From what I have read it seems like Aventus do not contain either phatalates or parabens 🤓 And unless if Creed is not being truthful prima quality ingredients should matter as well 😮😊
I see your point but for me I'd rather go for the creed for the quality as with anything like that whether it's creed, Parfums de marly etc
Very much enjoyed the review! Parfums Vintage had some great offerings. Pineapple Vintage Intense is fantastic! The pineapple is dialed up to 10 and is very hyper-realistic/juicy. The Emporer is a very balanced alternative. Very good quality.
Great video. Joel! What batch is your CDNIM? 2020?
