- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 22 ส.ค. 2024
- In this video I give my first full wear impressions of Club De Nuit Intense Man Limited Edition Parfum from the house of Armaf.
I also do a comparison with Creed Aventus to see if it is a worthy replacement for the niche fragrance juggernaut.

I really enjoy your channel. Great, honest reviews of products without all the "singing and dancing" that some of the other fragrance channels regularly feature. Your reviews almost invariably are identical to the feelings I've had towards the items you feature, as well. Best of luck to you going forward.
Now lets hope the Celtics can find some guys that can handle the ball. :)
I appreciate that feedback Brett. Thank you for supporting the channel.
Celtics ABSOLUTELY need that. I’ve heard rumors of Bradley Beal? Let’s wait and see!
This stuff is better than aventus
It’s solid no doubt
My wife says the same thing.
lol I agree. Aventus weak af
@@jbthetestgod a girl I know also thought the same thing
No it isn’t you peasant
I’ve used many colognes, but CDNI EDP has been my most go to over the past 5 years, it’s my go to. Trust me when I say I have gotten a ridiculous amount of compliments, the guys love it and as for the girls, they can’t stay away from me. Of course the scent can only do so much, you as a person need to be on point - but the cologne itself is pure crack. Always spray 30-40 minutes before you get to your day, once the powerful opening settles down the magic really kicks in. I have rinsed like 10 bottles, it’s legit. 🔥
The girls do love this DNA but I agree. Your fragrance is just a bonus to the total package. Glad you’ve had such a great experience with it.
Cdnim EDP normaĺ EDP or Limited edition parfum? Im quite new in fragnances. Appreciate the answer
I have both the EDT and EDP versions and like you, much prefer the EDP. Have you tried the Limited Edition? I wonder if there's much of a difference?
@@twiliqhtclaw7981 I would spend a bit more and get the limited edition parfum that’s highlighted in the vid
Totally agree. CDNMI is the cheapest fragramce in my collection and it's also my most complimented... even people in shops have stopped me to ask what I'm wearing. I use the EDT, but I'm sure you can't go wrong with any of them. Also... I have worn aventus and it doesn't last nearly as long.
That dirtiness that you smell in the CDNIM LE is the Arabian ambergris note. Different from Western ambergris, which tends to smell as it does in older (pre-BlackRock) Creeds, that bitter-fresh mineralic Creed-water base note. Arabian ambergris is "dirtier" and more low-tide marine-like, and while Armaf doesn't use genuine ambergris, they threw together a reconstruction of it for this version of their Aventus clone. Enjoyed your review!
Thanks for the info very helpful!
Super compliment getter. For the many years I’ve used a lot of fragrances. Wearing this one people come up to me and ask what I’m wearing or they would just say I smell great. That’s when I decided that this should be my signature scent. Inexpensive and smells great! The, Original, The Parfum, and this Limited Edition-you couldn’t get wrong with these three. To me, smells better than Aventus as I own one too. As the wearer, you get notice the opening but in a perspective of the people around, doesn’t come off that way. The projection is crazy!
Yea this does garner a lot of compliments for sure I agree.
I agree with everything you stated
But I have to say every time I wear club intense I get at least one complement or two complements every time I wear it it definitely turn heads and that’s longer during the day
It’s definitely my go to for now
I can absolutely see this getting a compliment. Every time I wear Aventus I get a compliment it’s crazy. By far my most complimented.
Edp EDT or intense?
I get complements every time. I think it depends on the skin
He said “a little more money….” Lmao like a whole car payment more lol
Worth it
This one is a bit too strong but I think it will be good to layer with the Lataffa oud for honor & glory as they both have pineapple note.
That could work!
I love this stuff. I thought the presentation was incredible for this. The juice matches the presentation. One of my favorite frags.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Interesting take :) Other reviewers say the smokiness is noticeable, and reminds them of older batches of Creed Aventus, kind of the opposite of what you say. I ordered this and can't wait to try it. I haven't tried Aventus, but I absolutely love Mont Blanc Explorer. If it is similar to MB but stronger I will be a happy boy.
Explorer is excellent I agree.
Explorer is very good scent but very poor performer. Well you can overspray (like 8-10 sprays), then you get sowhat decent longetivity and projection
I think this club de nuit blows aventus out of the water !!! I’ve had so many compliments wearing club de nuit than the original creed at £250 a bottle. Great tutorial thank you
It’s fantastic for the price no doubt.
I dont get a soapy smell at all at any phase from beginning to end. I don't get a cleaner scent either. For the price, CDNIMSE is far superior
Hey you got your opinion gotta own it!
This was exactly what I want explained in a fragrance review. Thank you -I subscribed-😊
Glad it helped my friend and I appreciate it.
The club de nuit intense EDT is a beast
Absolutely
Which batch do you have?
I tested this in the gym with 12 sprays+ as I did with Aventus. It definitely is a smokier Aventus. Aventus dries down on me to a more musky scent which I also love. The birch in Aventus is more of an anchor for the middle accord and it makes it classy and refined. But CDNIM Parfum is just an overall better performer on all fronts (sillage, projection, intensity of scent and longevity). It will grab attention much better and it also is more versatile as Creed will die/dry down within 2 hours even when spraying a lot in active settings and heat.
The EdT is rather special when it comes to the harsh opening. It still dries down to a pleasant Aventus like scent but not as smooth, clean and refined as CDNIM Parfum.
I would argue that 99.99% of people won't notice that Aventus is more upscale from sniffing the sillage. In fact, they may not pick up anything from a weak sillage as that one of Aventus. Which is also why I only use Aventus on dates where I get cozy with someone or when I have business meetings.
I wore CDNIM on Sunday and 3 compliments. People love it and to your point, have no problem smelling it.
Wearing perfume in the Gym...nuff said.
@@rephlax I always wear fragrance. Especially love it in the gym. A good fragrance can make you feel like a god. And it's a compliment to others around you when you just smell nice.
Do you prefer someone who smells like old body odor? Someone who farts and burps garlic?
@@rephlaxyou like smelling like 2 month old dirty gym sock?
Bro pleas suggest which one should I get the CDIm Parfume or LE Parfume
Great review!! The main difference for me is that in the deep dry down, Creed is sweeter and has more nuances, more depth. CDNI Limited Edition Parfum is way more linear all the way through the scent life. It just never gets sweet at the end. I waited and I waited for the “magic” to happen and it just never did. I blind purchased the limited edition of CDNI and was a bit disappointed. I guess for the price is kind of ok. Cheers!!
Good observation. It’s definitely not as complex a scent.
Speaking of 'sweetness in the end, scent magic, nuances and all that... You probably should be *Ricardo The Nose* 😅. Nice observation indeed brother.
Well, too bad you felt disappointed with CDNIM P. LE though... But how I only choose to look at it is as the best fragrance $60 bucks can buy and not exactly as a replacement for Creed Aventus.
The thing is, if Creed had released this exact CDNIM fragrance DNA as it's AVENTUS back in 2010, people would still call it great and would have thought it's worth paying the $300 entry price for a bottle.
Thanks for the comparison review Gerad, my favorite Aventus clone is still Afnan Supremacy Silver EDP to current batches but the best balance of Fruity/Smokey batch of Aventus imho is still Al Haramain L'Aventure EDP.
Haven’t tried l’aventure yet. Would love to though.
is Afnan Supremacy Silver a compliment getter?
Afnan and al haramain are weak in performance. And if you would actually had CDNIM LE you could confirm that, but you rather wend for cheaper clone.
I’m a huge fan of Aventus. I purchased my first Aventus bottle back in 2017, but before that, I purchased CDNIM EDT and I still have it. Around 2018 I came across Parfum Vintage and gave Pineapple Vintage Intense a try and I fell in love with it. A year later a purchased Parfum Vintage Emperor because I wanted to have different variations and I didn’t want to use my Aventus bottle all the time. IMO, I believe Parfum Vintage has the best Aventus clones (and I’ve tried many others). I ordered CDNIM parfum because all the hype behind and because I want to see if it’s better that the EDT. If it doesn’t work for me $48 won’t break the bank.
I think you will like the parfum. It has an addictive quality to it and I wear it way more than I thought I was going to! Let me know what you think especially as it compares to your other inspired by.
What did you think of the CDNIM Parfum? It's still has a harsh synthetic quality to it IMO. I've actually been curious about pineapple Vintage parfum. How does it compare to CDNIM?
@@Snk13_ty I found CDNI parfum somewhat synthetic and IMO It doesn’t have the silage and performance than the original does. Parfum Vintage has the performance, longevity and silage that CDNI parfum doesn’t have, and the quality is so much better that you can smell it. Oh, and the compliments? non-stop. Is it worth the price? Absolutely!!
@@biggboi1967fella.. one year past since you wrote that comment, your CDNIM macerated in that time (i hope you didn't give it away), now i am here for you to confirm that maceration is real thing and that CDNIM gor way better
@@VTun1ng oh man!! Funny you replied to my comment. I’m wearing CDNIM parfum today and the macerating thing is real. It has a different life after a year and I really like it. However, I stand by what I said about Parfums Vintage. PV is far superior IMO.
I’m going to eventually get a smaller sample of creed aventus, but I can honestly say even if I were to buy a full bottle I would still want to own this CDNIM limited edition because it is so nice and powerful out of all the fragrances I own!
I like mine as well Jay…A Lot!
I have a bottle of CDNIM Pure Parfum. It is an amazing scent. My bottle is more smokier than fruity-citrusy which I love.
(Woody-Birch-Smokie) It reminds me of the older batches of Creed Aventus. CDNIM Pure Parfum last a long time on my skin and days on clothes. It definitely has that Creed Aventus DNA. I have the 5/2021 batch. You can't go wrong with this fragrance.👌👍
Jay I’m also doing a first impressions vid that goes live tomorrow. It’s a first impressions of Afnan Supremacy Not Only Intense.
@@gerardgeorge
Awesome 👍! I love supremacy not only intense. I am very curious toward your take on Supremacy Not Only Intense.
Hey, nice review!
Just ordered CDNIM Pure Parfum version. Been told it is the same as the one in your review. Do have Aventus though, so ordered the dupe more for fun. Will see what it is when it arrives.
I have tried around a dozen of clones and inspirations. Morning Chess is so far the best alternative of all, through and through. Cheers!
Thank you brother! Let me know what you think about it. Haven’t tried morning chess yet.
@@gerardgeorge Morning Chess doesn't smell like Aventus if you try to sniff into it. But catching its whiffs here and there I find myself immediately wondering if it is the Creed, remembering after a few seconds that it is not. 😁
To me the Vilhelm has a green quality, which the Creed lacks completely, plus it has a touch of wood polish (sounds bad, but in reality it is pretty pleasing). What the Vilhelm doesn't give is the creamy feel that Aventus has in the heart. But I am happy about that. TBH, I would prefer Morning Chess even to Aventus any day, and it is not because of the price tag. It is just a nicer fragrance to me. I've already bought another 100 ml bottle.
That doesn't mean Aventus is worse for real, you may find it better than the Vilhelm. 🙌
It's one year now.. how do you feel about your order?
I bought Aventus when it came out for 120$. CDNI is better, same as Milestone and Sillage with MI and SMW. A great Dupe of Bvlgari Tygar is Turathi by Afnan, blows every blue fragrance on the market out of the water!
Wow would love to try that Afnan. I’ll have to check it out I love Tygar and the LV that smells similiar.
@@gerardgeorge Turathi blue. Turathi brown is a dupe of Tuxedo.
A good and reliable fragrance that is a amazing copy of Creed Aventus is Montblanc Explorer EDP better than any other copy of Aventus in my opinion. Luis from New York’s Creed boutique who is basically the ambassador of Creed in the US was giving a seminar in Austin where I live at Neiman Marcus a week ago on how Creed is made and personally told me Montblanc hit it fairly close as far as all the imitations out there go. He said each batch of Creed fragrances take four years to finish before bottling meaning they have several batches in production overlapping one another so they can come out with them as needed. This is because their fragrances are naturally derived meaning if it has lavender for example they have to grow several crops to test before they get a crop that matches the scent of the previous batch released . They also hand mix all of their fragrances because creed always does things the old school way instead of relying on machines for quality control and the bottles are all literally hand blown glass this is why it’s so expensive .
Montblanc has less pineapple than Creed but my wife couldn’t tell the difference nor could several people at Neiman Marcus when I tested them too see if they could tell which was Creed . I’d like to see your comparison with Montblanc Explorer . Plus pro tip I’m sure you already know you can buy on the condition that the lady at Macys or wherever you get it from gives you samples of other stuff you like lol . They always tell me they don’t have any left and when I say ok then I’m going to Dillards or vice versa they all of a sudden find like 3 or 4 samples haha . If you have a Neiman Marcus it’s alway best to buy there because you can get awash with several
samples of niche fragrances to try and they usually are more than happy to give them to you there .
I would agree on that. I have tried a number of clones and also just acquired the one in this review.. Mont Blanc Explorer definitely smells more like Aventus than this one or any of the others that I have tried...
I would agree, but i (and most others) have only one problem with MB Explorer and that is poor performance. I don't care if it doesn't project 2 meters away - i even like that only people who are close to me can smell it. But longetivity is big problem, except if i really overspray it (8-10*)
I have bought cdnim LE in december 2023 and also a 5ml sample of the latest Creed Aventus.
I tried many times to like it but the cdnim LE is really
(not enjoyable) 'smoky' on my skin.
With the real Aventus the smoky part is in the 'back' at the drydown. Much more refined..
I'm rocking now Afnan noi as it gives me a more fruity dna. It is also a little smoky but more in balance.
I agree on the afnan and Aventus is still king of the DNA for me.
And 5 months later you find out that maceration did amazing job to CDNIM, right?
When creed aventus original started to take off the chemical harsh smell it becomes weaker it only last 2 hours and started skin scent. So good job to the armaf CDI limited edition becomes the Pioneer of fruity pineapple scent.
It’s good stuff Hala
I don’t know how this smells like a smoky birch when they took the birch out of this one. I just bought a decant of this because I really want to try it. I have the EDT but I heard out of all the versions this is the smoothest, most well rounded, and refined.
Definitely the smoothest. It’s the best one imo.
Never could get on the Aventus bandwagon. Smells like a fruity ashtray on my skin. Haven’t tried the CDNIM Edp or Parfum but I do own the edt. Bought it a year ago and after two wears I put it away for six months. Now the opening is smooth and creamy citrus, no longer screech. A completely different wearing experience and I actually love wearing it now. I too don’t see it as a true 1:1 clone like so many. I don’t find it to be smoky at all either. Great video.
Thanks Robert! That seems to be the common theme with these. Thanks for sharing your experience!
I blind bought it very recently. I searched for a word to express my experience. Finally found "ash tray" from your comments 😂
Recently I bought CDNIM EDP and I go to a birthday party and a lot of people give me compliments and i said all of them that I’m wearing CREED AVENTUS 😂😂😂😂😂
That’s totally fine! Glad you like it
@@gerardgeorge yes sir I like my CDNIM EDP because to be honest I cannot afford a 350$ creed aventus so I go to CDNIM EDP and I love this. Hats off to ARMAF.
I agreed with you. CDNIL only 70% like creed Aventus but if you can’t buy Aventus it still be a great alternative. The green you pick up probably is the oakmoss which CDNIL doesn’t have
I totally agree.
I only own CDNIM Parfum and an old EDT (2016 or 2015, I forget when I got it) and the new Al Haramain Ruby as true clones in my collection. Layering the CDNIM Parfum with the Ruby is the only way I wear either now. It’s addictive!
I haven’t tried the ruby yet but from the looks of it that sounds like an amazing combo!
That's like mixing old batch aventus with BR540 extrait
Hi Gerard, thanks for you review! Few months have passed. How does it smell now? Thanks!
I’d have to say Oliver it’s good. I’m going to wear it this week so if you check out Monday’s weekly wears video you’ll here some of my current thoughts on it.
I always value your opinion G , pulling the trigger now
Did literally wore this today and had a girl come up to me at the store and tell me how good I smelled. It’s just that good. I told her to check out the channel!
Hello Gerard oh, I did have two questions. As of right now which one would you pick the CDNIM or Mont Blanc Explorer? In your opinion what is the best Creed aventus clone? Great video been looking forward to this one.
As of right now I think explorer is the safer bet. I want to spend more time with the CDNIM.
@@gerardgeorgedid you change your mind? I have both and even though Explorer is smoother it is also poor performer
@@VTun1ng this one is the best dupe for price and performance imo
I just bought the limited CDNIM Parfum because of, I don't know, peer pressure? You know that Aventus is my all time favorite, top two or three at the absolute worst, probably number one.
I have never, ever smelled an Aventus clone that I've felt held up, but this is one of the few I haven't smelled and I figured if it's not great I can give it away.
The closest Aventus clone at this point to me is Afnan Supremacy Not Only Intense, but that one doesn't totally fo it for me either.
I would be very interested in your thoughts Danny. Let me know because I couldn’t agree more.
Afnan SNOI is not even an Aventus clone... and if you thing SNOI is closer to Aventus than ANY versio of CDNIM, then there is something wrong with your nose
@@VTun1ng ok
The old Creed Adventus smelled better then new re-formulations. Now, iwouldn't pay the $300+dollars for it.
Many feel that way. I'm happy with my batch. Love it.
just picked up Intense Man Limited Edition Parfum, Milestone and Sillage. not lovin em so far. suuuuuper stronge, the scent is pleasant, but the opening is harsh and gives me shampoo vibes. the dry downs are great on all 3 with Sillage and Milestone having better openings, I just can't get past the soapy shampoo vibe. definitely gonna let it sit and revisit but definitely not a love at first sniff kinda fragrance for me.
Interesting I don't get anything overly soapy but you are correct let it sit and revisit later.
1. Let it macerate
2. Come back and do another review
These frags are supossed to be macerated. That's how it is.
@@VTun1ng its been sitting for 6 months now 🤣 definitely a pass for me.
CDIM is better than the new batches of Creed
Glad you like it brotha!
I am not buying aventus. That's just to much.
I tried explorer and when that was finished i got cdnim edt. I think explorer is aventus for work and cdnim is aventus for clubs.
Cdnim has given me the most, omg that's to much reactions
I would agree that explorer would be the more mass pleasing, safer route for the DNA
Man can you say with batch you have witch year beacuse i have 2021 batch and its awsome my friend had it too it vas very smoky later he buy 2022 bacth and it vas only fruts not smoke please tell me with batch is yours?
2021 batch!
He said paying a little bit more there is a huge difference in price 45 dollars or 600 dollars car payment or brunch
You can definitely find it on discounters for far less. $249 at venba.
the major problem with aventus the persistence... I tested a couple of them, the new ones, and after like 20, 30 min it's gone...
This is the drawback for many. People have noticed this on me hours after I could not smell it anymore so I think some of it may be nose blindness.
This was a great break down of this fragrance 💯
Thanks my man 🙏🏼
Also if I already own/use Cedrat Boise should I consider buying this one or just pass on it??
Good question Jeremy. I own and use cedrat Boise myself but I don’t find these to be redundant. They are slightly similar but I am also someone who thinks cedrat doesn’t smell like Aventus so consider that.
@@gerardgeorge I gotcha. I'm gonna get a bottle I guess. I just want something that truly clones the "king" ha
Im late arriving to this train. Can you tell me if this is a good one for the fall/winter?? If so ill grab a bottle. Also im just wondering how "limited" it is because its been like a 2 year "limited" stock lol.
Yea the limited name represents the special packaging this came in. I don’t think every bottle comes in the same packaging. These middle eastern fragrances are confusing sometimes haha. This is a year round scent and will work in the fall and winter.
@@gerardgeorge Thanks man I appreciate the response and info. I guess I'll grab a bottle. The main reason I'm even buying a bottle is because my Aventus bottle is dry as a bone and I'm just looking to find the best clone but man geez there sooo many of them lol.
I literally can't smell any difference between the limited edition and the normal EDT, which is quite unfortunate
Wow not even in the opening? Thats not a bad thing I guess.
Hey Gerard. I am not a fan of Aventus but, I have the original Armaf. It doesn't get a lot of wear but it's not bad. I will not be purchasing the new Intense. Thanks for the review.
Any other aventus type scents that you are interested in?
Understood. I have a few like that in the collection.
Nice review love the video G stay motivated Dream big 1 mill on the way
Thanks my man!
So this one no matter what clone it is as long as its a clone of Creed Aventus, all the guys wanna know what im wearing. Then theres rasasi qasamat rasana and all the ladies wanna know what Im wearing. Now combine the 2. Im now the best smelling dude in the building. Layering them both is 🔥. Personally my no.1 fragrance is cdnim limited parfum. No.2 is Rasasi Qasamat Rasana. But damn that scent trail is nice.
I actually haven't tried the Rasasi I will give it a go. Thanks!
I got rasasi qasamat rasana because of rotten rebels layer suggestion, damn that guy was right!
CDCN PURE PARFUM AND LE CDCN PARFUME IS THE SAME JUICE in different bottle ?
It’s so confusing. The best one in my opinion is the “limited edition” parfum.
nice knowledge sharing sir, i cannot afford Creed Aventis, but if i stop buying 5-6 bottle other brand i maybe.. buy one but still feel expensive.. and no i not own a Club de nuit.. :(
It is expensive I understand. I would get a decant of it first and try it out. See if you like it.
I also tested this EDT clone. My thought is why spend money on any cologne that
you have to wait 15 mins to tolerate/enjoy it. I seen for myself that yes, Club De Nuit
does have a rotten lemon/cleaning product opening. It did get better after awhile, but
I personally want to spray, enjoy and go!!
I cant disagree with that you're right!
I rather wait 15 min to enjoy it for the next 8 hours then having amazing opening for 15 min, decent projection for 4 hours and nothing else after that.
Did u ever revisit CDNIM LE? I have 4 bottles of the Original but the LE has peaked my curiosity. What’s the update?
Yes I like it. I wore it last week!
The newer Creed Aventus does not smell like what it used to be. Get the cheaper ones: CDNMI, Montblanc Explorer, Afnan Supremacy Not Only Intense
All solid replacements. I did a video on the Afnan as well.
Great review!! I went back and forth between this and Supremacy Not Only Intense and ended up ordering the latter since I have Aventus and a couple clones already. From reviews I saw Not Only Intense leaned a little more towards Hacivat. We will see when it gets here
Let me know what you think of it Michael a couple people have mentioned that one already I’m curious.
did u get it yet?
It is a Hacivat Clone with a Tons of Smoke. Good for Summer Nights.😊
Im in thorn in either getting this or getting like 7 other decants instead. It smells good but it doesnt give me that “i gotta have full bottle of this” feeling
I think buying decants is great. Gives you an opportunity to discover more of what you like without committing to an entire bottle.
I really hope my CDNI limited maturates. It's got a nice opening but smells a little rough around the edges.
I think it will get better. Hang in there and let me know if you see a difference.
I got mines two days ago. Wore it today at the bar. Got two compliments. When people were walking behind me. It’s good money😎
@@23nickhewitt great for the bar too gets mad compliments!
How's it going a month later? I just picked up a bottle and it's pretty rough (eye-wateringly rough), good though.
@@sepsism138 still smells the same basically but I've grown quite attached to it. I find with all the CDN scents I own (intense, sillage, milestone, untold) with the exception of untold smell wayy better in the air than up close.
The smokiness of Aventus comes later after the mid and mainly dry down. Same with CDNIM LE Parfum. You don't necessarily smell the smokiness right away after spraying. I don't agree with your review...but again to each his nose...
Thanks for sharing your perspective Rolando. I had a decant of a 2015 Aventus that was far more heavy on the birch than my current 2020. That one was smoky from start to finish.
Hello, do you recommend it for fall/winter?
For sure this will work just fine.
Thank you
Club de nuit intense limited edition or afnan supremacy not only intense?
Oh man. I may have to do a video. Stay tuned.
Thanks, I'll be waiting
Thanks for the video. Looking for a good b450 clone
A solid choice is sunset riot from all saints
Ok so I bought a bottle. Its a 5/23 batch. Presentation is great. Wooden box w/ bag. However to me i just dont understand the hype. Its just a chemical lemon bomb. It smells like pledge wood cleaner. Dry down is better but it still has this synthetic chemical smell overall. And its headache inducing ha. Not for me man.
Damn that sucks I don't get that but I do get that from the original. You might be better trying afnan not only intense or just grabbing Aventus.
How many sprays?
5-10 baby!
Is there a edp and parfum version of specifically that "limited edition" ? I've seen on internet and now I'm confused
Its very confusing. The limited edition is on the lower end of the "parfum" concentration which ranges from 20-30%. This is 20%. I don't have a bottle of the other so I can speak to the oil concentration on those.
LE is just PP in fancy package
Letting the CDNIM pure parfum macerate (I have the "normal" version, not the limited one) is definitely a thing man...let me tell you my experience.
In the first 2-3 weeks of use my CDNIM was quite pleasurable overall, yet it had that very strong citric opening you also recognized. As a sidenote, the strong opening tends to go away in just a few minutes anyway, so the pure parfum definitely doesn't have that 30-minutes lemony blast issue that affects the EDT.
Anyways, then I left it aside for 1 month as I had to go abroad for work. When I came back home CDNIM definitely changed for the better: the opening's now way more rounded and refined (and less lemony/citric), and the fragrance is overall more pleasurable throughout the whole application.
One final note: I can definitely pick up the pineapple note -- in fact I think it is a little bit stronger than the lemon. But hey, everyone's nose is different :)
Thanks for sharing your experience. I definitely want to give it time and I’ve heard similar experiences. There’s definitely something to it.
@@gerardgeorge the maceration thing absolutely seems to be something real with CDNIM. If you go over fragrantica, many other people are reporting the same phenomenon. Now, don't get me wrong: I'm not saying that it'll reach the same quality of Aventus, but CDNIM pure parfum seems to definitely have some room for improvement over its first weeks of use.
@@dendritibus How is the projection between edt, edp and pure parfum in terms of hours.
I know that it will last 8+ hrs but how long is the projection for each
@@bewaraziz4790 Pure Parfum & Limited Edition.
I picked up the CDIM Eau de Parfum 200 ml. and got a real smokey batch...like 80/20... Pretty good though. I like it. .. My wife said it smelled so smokey it reminded her of when we were kids out at a kegger🔥 in the woods.😂😅 Someone was recommending getting Perry Ellis America that is very heavy with a pineapple note... and use it for layering with this one that's very smoky. I have to keep my eye out for the America on my next cheapie hunt
I heard America is great. I’ve been on the lookout for that as well. You’re lucky you got a smoky batch!
Great honest to-the-point review. That's how reviews should be. Thanks.
Appreciate that Zvika thank you so much.
It doesn't smell like a cleaner at all.
The limited edition less so it definitely has a little funk on first spray it just does
Thank you for the review. You’re the only TH-camr with negative(ish) opinion on this fragrance. All other TH-camrs harp about the similarity and quality of CDNIM but after getting a bottle for myself last month, I have to say it is repulsive. Smells like herbal medicine, very bitter and funky. Just to make sure I wasn’t hallucinating, I ordered a bottle of regular CDNIM along and it smelled maybe a bit better but I cannot draw any comparison to Aventus when smelling them side by side. If you have the money, buy the real thing.
I agree Bowen. Thank you also I appreciate the support. This scent has grown on me as a stand alone scent but as far as how it compares to Aventus. I’d choose Aventus every day of the week for sure.
I'm so confuse. Which one is the best CDNIM LE PARFUM or LE EDP?
The one I review in the video is the limited edition parfum and in my opinion is the best in the line.
None. All have weak ass performance.
Hey bro is this smokier than the edt?❤
I think so but I also never thought the EDT was that smokey. Its definitely too smokey but I do pick it up.
I think all would do well to STOP comparing everything under the sun to CA unless its totally a blind test with no names involved. $300 is a lot for some and nothing for others but when you judge everything as if it must smell like $300 CA simply because you paid $300 for it, you do a disservice overall. CA is ok but surely not the best regardless of the price. Trust me, if CA was $15 a bottle, it would not be as well regarded. BTW, I like CA but its just one nice fragrance among many and some so-called clones actually smell different but as good or better in their own right.
I agree. It’s important to hold these fragrances to their own standards.
Which one's more smokey ?
CDNIM
@@gerardgeorge simple CDNIM EDT?
@@gerardgeorge comparing pure parfum with parfum limited eddition? I seek wisdom
You get smokey synthetic pineapple fading into the nothingness of light santalum album like so many other scents pour homme do.
I had to google santalum album 😂
Yea mayne. I agree with you 100%
Thanks Ryan!
Parfum pure parfum vs collocter pride which one's best ??
I like the collectors edition parfum the best. More than the pure parfum.
@@gerardgeorgelet me educate you.. it is not collectors edition but limited edition and it is THE SAME as pure parfume. What azanali is talking about is collectors pride, which is CDNIM's 18ml parfume oil (no solvents). If you have a fragrance channel at least make sure what the hell are you talking about. Do some research which will make you relevant and trustworthy, and that us what you should aim uf you want your channel to grow.
@@VTun1ng you must be a hoot at parties 🎉
@@gerardgeorge i just want you good man.. you have a fragrance channel, so it would be beneficial for you to know the differences i wrote above. Not because you would actually care for that shit (which would be nice tho), but because you could give more reliable answers. I have read a lot of your answers here, where people ask you for advice, suggestion. And if you would be doing some research instead of writing generic "you must be a hoot at parties" buthurt answers, you would gain more appreciance in people who are asking you those questions. Don't take that personal by any means, i just want you to be more helpful to people who watch these videos to get general idea and some suggestions instead of giving them some half assed answer. Keep in mind that it is better to not answer than answer wrong.
I wish you all the best.
I ordered the limited edition it was blind buy because I have never smell it..but I have club de nuit perfume.. The question is what is better and closer to original creed aventus?? Club de nuit perfume? Or the limited edition?? I hope its not fail the blind buy of limited edition...
Definitely limited edition. Limited edition is also the better fragrance.
How much spray for daily wear sir 😁🙏
This one is not overpowering. Anywhere from 6-10 sprays.
Id say 20 won't make a difference. It's weak.
Very good review
Thank you so much 🙏🏼
@@gerardgeorge my first time on your channel. Saw your link via a fragrance group. Love your honesty
@@MrErnestangelo means a lot thank you.
Nice video ✌ Amazing 👍👍
Thank you 🙏🏼
have you tried pure parfum and can you compare the two?
I haven’t tried the pure parfum however I’ve heard many prefer the limited edition over it. As of now the limited edition parfum seems to be the one to beat.
Why armaf clu de nut intense is hyped ??? I try bought decant, unfortunately it smells is not suit for me.. better buy daarej pour homme.. dont too trust with this content dude😂😂😂
I mean its a cheaper Aventus so its going to be hyped. Dareej is a completely different scent.
@@gerardgeorge i prefer rave by lattafa because the pinneaple scent is more solid and smooth than CDNM
@@mreza2364 I’ll have to check it out
Creed Aventus is Smokey
It can be depending on the batch.
If u want the real close to aventus, get the parfums vintage line
I’ve heard this JJ. Definitely more expensive but certainly an option.
I just got the intese gold today tried it and I was a little disappointed I couldn’t smell it to much. I also got the pineapple intense. I’m going it’s a little better. Have you tried it? If so what am I missing. Just didn’t feel like it projected. I do t think I had old fashioned fatigue.
Just got a bottle, my gf hates it
When I ask my wife to smell it she doesn’t love it but then there are days where I wear it and she’s like “you smell good what’s that!?”.
What's next? Super elixir? This stuff is already too weak.
Hahahaha extrait de elixir
The bottle makes me think of what those in the hood wear. I’d rather spend the $405 on Creed and get less performance than buy this crap for $70.
Real thing all day for as well.
"The look is not the Greatest"💀
😂😂
Whats the point of paying 400 dollars for a fragrance that last 45 min to an hour..Don t get me wrong i love Aventus but srsly the performance is garbage,, i would pay 600 dollars for Aventus but only if it would last,,
I hear you Cristian. I personally don’t have the performance issues many talk about. If anything my 2021 batch has only only gotten stronger.
Very easy to become nose blind to Aventus. My dad hates the fragrance and hours after I stop smelling it/think it became a skin scent my dad will make a remark about the scent from across the room.
Can you guys really notice a different from the regular version?
Yes it is noticable
@@darrenkomala5997 such as?
@@user-or2uu8mc7slimited edition parfum is denser, less like aventus. Aventus is a lighter fragrance. Edt or edp is a more similar style to aventus. Smell wise the L.E parfum is a darker and richer smokey aventus. Go for edp if u want fruity like new aventus and nice balance. But no matter which it will be good. Oh and new cdnim edt the original doesn't perform well. It lacks behind newer batches of aventus.
@@darrenkomala5997 ARMAF should give you some sort of incentive my man u just put me out of the hesitant turbulence and made my surgical grade clear decision of LE due to my perversion towards smokey aventus.
it is however an interesting insight of urs on LE being lesser like aventus because many says otherwise.
@@user-or2uu8mc7s purely based on my experience, i have over 6 aventus from different years 2016-2020. And all the cdnim variants. I would say that cdnim edt from the year 2018/19 would be the best aventus clone. However if you are looking for alternatives of aventus and like the scent dna, getting any of them wont be wrong. Just keep in mind the weather and location of most of your daily activity when choosing. I personally find that edt and edp work best for hot countries such as in Indonesia where im located. The LE will leave better trail and it is mesmerizing in the colder weather.
i will biliv u makes me mo not want to buy this
It’s good stuff j a. I’m going to be doing a video for Afnan Not only intense on Wednesday. Another Aventus clone.
👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
🙏🏼
Fuck that. Clones ruin a smell that is unique. Now people wear cheap knockoffs.
I prefer the OG Aventus no question.
Stealth 107 Sh*t up, elitist!
or fuck creed that makes their 300 euros fragrances have 2 hour performance before they are completely gone?
@@vlada_janjanin How do you know it only performs 2 hours? You smelled yourself and what?
@@vlada_janjanin 2 hours, really? Are you sure you are not experiencing olfactory fatigue? I have a 2018 batch of Aventus and even with a single spray on the back of the neck, I can detect it 8 to 10 hours after application
👍👍™️
🙌🏽
Bro, is your wife making you say this craziness?
Do that fist thing if you're not safe, yo
I disagree with your wife. 8-)
Thank you for the video
😂 I will say my bottle has gotten smoother with time.
