Club De Nuit Intense Overdose

I'm going to go out on a limb here and say Overdose is the best Club De Nuit Intense Man flanker in terms of quality. This comes off so well blended, nothing harsh at all, just a smooth wearing experience. It amps up the fruitiness compared to many of the other Aventus/Absolu Aventus DNA options, very juicy in the opening with just a hint of some sparkly spice. It transitions quickly to punchier green woody spice with the fruits moving to the back and leaning more towards a darker jammy plum, very masculine and where this fragrance peaks, love this phase. Then as you move deep into the dry down, this nice creamy tonka bean and warm amber come into play that softens everything until it fades into a skin scent. Longevity on skin has been impressive, easily getting through a work day and still noticeable on the way home, so 8 hours is a given. On clothes, it's ridiculous, I sprayed it on a shirt collar and could smell it clear as day in my laundry room more than 24 hours after tossing the shirt in there, so that's not including actual wear time. Projection is good, not massive, as expected from most extraits. Where this excels is leaving a scent trail, it's very noticeable in that regard, of you walk somewhere and another person comes through, they will notice. Versatility is also solid, great office scent but also a banger for date night, been wearing this almost exclusively. It's also playing very well with the heat and humidity, not cloying at all. Overall, I am thoroughly impressed. This is well on its way to knocking off Explorer as my signature scent.

UPDATED review (orig 8/18/26): While this does go through a phase during which it smells similar to a fuity batch of vintage Creed Aventus, it dries down to something different, really its own thing. It still retains a bit of the DNA, but only a little. Which makes me like it even more, as it's not just another clone. I have Precieux 1, and it stays much closer to the OG all the way through, though some say closer to Absolu. Either way, it's there. Overdose, not so much. I am loving this stuff and am even wearing it during the high heat here in Phoenix. It doesn't become cloying, not to me, and makes a great spring/summer scent. I will wear Precieux 1 during the fall/winter - bada boom, bada bing!

"Club de Nuit Intense Overdose is an absolute powerhouse. It keeps that legendary Creed Aventus DNA alive but amps it up with a darker, richer twist—featuring a prominent smoky, woody, and subtle rose character that feels incredibly premium. In terms of performance, it's a true beast-mode fragrance with incredible longevity that easily lasts all day. The sillage and projection are massive, creating a powerful scent bubble that consistently commands attention and turns heads. If you love high-performing, smoky aventus-style profiles with a bold edge, this is a must-have."

Got a sample of this with my Armaf order. I love this! Nothing harsh about it very smooth and fruity. I love fruity scents so this is right up my alley. I know there’s 50-11 CDNIM flankers but this is very good. Plus I like the bottle.

The opening is crisp, sweet and juicy citrus, someone described it as "Skittles" and that's exactly how it smells. It doesn't have that super sharp lemon opening of the other CDNIM fragrances.
