Club De Nuit Urban Man Elixir

Almost 4 years later since it was launched, I got this now for $21, after discounts and points I earned from a shop. Great buy, and a unique twist, a combined Sauvage EDT/EDP twist in the drydown. To get this scent, one has to buy both Sauvage EDT and EDP and layer them, but will not have the slightly sweeter take of Urban Man Elixir. Some say it has Aventus vibes too in the opening, but I never care about openings, they don't last anyway and are not a good way to judge fragrances imho, unless the openings linger into the drydown. I always spray fragrances on my supraclavicular fossa (the depression above the clavicles) and suprasternal notch (the v-shaped dip between the collarbones), but am careful not to directly get this on my shirt. It would be too long-lasting, and I get sick of a sweet scent that lasts too long.

Twist mashup clone 75% Dior Sauvage EDT&EDP + 25% Creed Aventus. I like the smell of Sauvage and I like the smell of Aventus, so it reasons I was going to like this blend. It opens with sharp bergamot and pink pepper, but it's not the CDN lemon cleaner like in their earlier stuff. Immediately following is orange blossom and sweet jasmine which make it airier and more floral than my other Dior Sauvage interpretations. In the heart I get heavy lavender, minty geranium, and a great earthy vetiver. The base is where the Sauvage dna is really present with a massive dose of Ambroxan and amber, giving off a metallic clean masculine feel. While it doesn't quite smell 1:1 in terms of layering OG Savauge + Aventus, it does smell way more expensive than it is; the CDN line really stepped it up the last 2 years.

This is a strong fresh masculine perfume from Armaf. CDN Urban Man Elixir open with fresh and slightly sweat smooth combo of (pineapple +citrus) from Aventus, then it quickly dry down into fresh and less spicy peppery Sauvage DNA. Longevity of this perfume is high at least 8-10hrs. This perfume 's an upgrade of Ventana Pour Homme with added-sweeter fruity notes and more ambroxan, which help to boost the longevity and projection times. It is not harsh, not too woody and mature as CDN intense/parfum/limited (clone of Creed Aventus) and not too sweet as Precioux 1 (dupe of Creed Absolute).

A really well-made blend of Sauvage and Aventus that I fell in love with right away. It's fresh, bold and polished, and it's really, really good regardless of its extremely low price. Easy to recommend.

My first fragrance (ordered this alongside cool water so both are technically my first). Blind buy. I've smelled Sauvage before and always wanted it, always knew Aventus was well liked, so when I saw this described as a 75% Sauvage and 25% Aventus I bought it immediately.
