Club De Nuit Intense Man Eau de Toilette

I picked this one out for my partner when we we're looking around together in a dupe store. I'm obsessed with these kinds of warm scents on him, and luckily they're his preference as well. Although I'm not familiar with the origin scent but I love this dupe as itself. Citrusy, herbal, and sweet without being sugary. The fruity top notes are incredible, quite prominent to start, and really compliment the muskier base - then, after a while it settles on the skin and becomes less fruity and more herbal, equally nice imo. It lasts a looong time and has an insane projection, when my partner sprays himself in the bedroom and I'll smell it from the kitchen. I guess it's up to you if that's a positive or negative depending on if you prefer subtlety or intensity in a scent (for me: intensity, always).

This seems to be an unpopular opinion but I actually enjoy the strong lemon in the opening. It’s like 70% lemon 30% pineapple for about 30 mins then it becomes a super mossy fresh smell and then the dry down is extremely smoky. The real strength of this frag is the performance. This is by far the strongest fresh fragrance I have tried, I cannot believe this is just an edt. The whole profile is a bit synthetic smelling but not to the degree it causes me a headache. To my memory this is close to aventus but aventus has better balanced fruit notes and more leather. Overall if you want an affordable aventus with good performance, this one is pretty good.

I wasn't sure blind buying CDNIM EDT since I haven't tried Aventus and had no idea about its DNA but man do I love this scent... Opening is harsh but didn't bother me that much, it only lasts around 15 min or so. The dry down is where the magic happens, that citrus goes away and it calms down to smoky birch. Lasts ridiculously long on clothes and on skin I get around 8+ hours so for its value one can call this beast mode fragrance. Despite the positive experience I had with this fragrance I would recommend that you try it first or at least try Aventus before you buy. Because I don't think its a safe blind buy if you don't know about this DNA

When I first bought this fragrance, it had a harsh citrus opening and a weird herbatious rosemary type of smell that put me off, and I didn't think too much of the performance. But after just a few weeks it became absolutely beautiful. It still has a little bit of a harsh lemon opening, but for only like 30 seconds while the juice is still wet on the skin. It has become one of my favourite scents and has gotten me loads of compliments. I have tried it alongside the original Creed Aventus, and to me it smells basically the same with better longevity and projection for a fraction of the price.

Bought this blind because I’ve heard good things about it. I definitely see how people say it smells like Creed. It’s definitely noticeably less smooth and more citrusy and punchy, and is definitely less musky and manly. As soon as you spray it, you get punched in the jaw by sweet citrusy lemon, you’re poolside on a hot day, sipping on a lemonade and a fresh glass of orange juice. After a few minutes, it settles down it becomes a slightly sweet fruity scent that sits in this woody musk. Love it so much, the lemon smell is so amazing but definitely not a fall or winter smell.
