Club De Nuit Intense Man Parfum

I'm astonished by this fragrance. Right out of the box its performance is very impressive. It is long-lasting with heavy sillage that radiates off of my skin for hours. After four hours of wear, it diminishes somewhat, but it's still easily picked up on. In the opening I mostly get bergamot, which I love in fragrances. Hugo Reversed is a good example. The bergamot is then followed shortly by pineapple, which is less intense to my nose. The opening is slightly tart, I guess that's the blackcurrant note, but I am not able to detect it on its own. Birch (tar) then comes in and envelops the scent, surrounding the fruity notes with smoke. This is the beginning of the dry down. This is where the fruit, the smoke, the underlying warmth and the slightly more distant aromatics and musk combine to form this beautiful masculine fragrance that keeps pushing off of the skin. Currently, I have a collection of 85 fragrances, of which only 3 are clones. Club the Nuit Intense Man Pure Parfum is definitely one of my favorites and I could see it becoming my go-to. Thank you for reading.

Revisited the EDP one after about 3 years of not owning it. My nose has definitely matured, but this still smells just as good as I remember it. I've had a few bottles of Aventus since then, and the allure of the EDP version of this still kicks hard in the air. The in your face birch, the smokiness yet it's still smooth after the initial 5 minute haphazard opening (not nearly as bad as the EDT). It lasts forever on my skin and easily fills a room so be careful with the sprays. Aventus is great and all, but the price I just can't justify anymore. Get this instead, preferably the LE Parfum or the EDP.

The first time i sprayed it smells like a strong bathroom cleaner. However, after a week of using it, i get used to the smell and i am loving this fragrance now. I even use it every night after shower because the smell relaxes me for some reason. That being said, i am afraid i’ll be running out of this perfume with the rate i am using it at the moment, so i bought 3 more bottles! This fragrance is so addictive to the point i keep on sniffing myself just to keep the high. Aside from that, i feel so clean wearing this fragrance.

Well well, i know this fragrance is popular, and my review is probably long overdue - I just could not get myself to get another clone of Aventus. My experience with Aventus was frozen at 2015, which I believe I experienced the "golden era" of 2011-2013, when it was potent, smoky, masculine. I happened to smell more modern batch of Aventus, which is mere a shadow of what I remember - I do have a small 7mL decant left of 2013 batch (I believe hedione is on its way out), after sharing them with my brother and my friend.

Honest opinion, the opening of this smells very different to the opening of creed aventus. Creed aventus opening is juicier and fresher where as club de nuit intense man pure parfum is smoky right off the jump. Once both dry down, that is where you see the similarity. The dry down is very very close, and you can only tell the difference between two if they were side by side. The differences are club de nuit is more synthetic, and not blended as well, but that’s what you get for the price. Solid dupe
