items 4: content: Club de Nuit Intense Man (Eau De Toilette) is a versatile and potent fragrance that has a harsh citrusy opening. It then settles down into its birch heart notes and becomes a very smokey woody scent. This is a great masculine scent for any weather and near any use. When using this fragrance please take into account that it truly shines in the dry down. Also this is a scent that you become nose blind to very quickly so ask a friend or family member how strong it is before you ever apply more. I put on 3 sprays thought it was very underwhelming and added 2 more sprays and when I went out with some family I was told my fragrance was choking them out. It then proceeded to continue this way the rest of the day any one I asked though out the day said my scent was far to strong. With this being said the performance is definitely not something to worry about. I truly do love this fragrance however, I prefer Montblanc Explorer which in my opinion has a very similar smell that takes the smokey woody notes in the Club de Nuit and switches it for a spicy peppery notes which I find to be very very pleasant. The price of Montblanc’s Explorer is also a factor as well so I would recommend trying both or if you are on a budget go with Club de Nuit. Overall, I believe this is a very versatile fragrance for smokey wood lovers looking for an everyday scent that performs well and rocks any situation.

items 5: content: The pineapple and lemon vibe never leaves the scent fully but after a while, when it stops exploding, you start to feel the birch in the heart followed by the musk and a bit of ambergris from the base.
Honestly, I don’t smell any patchouli in it as patchouli is a sweet-earthy scent – something Club de Nuit Intense Man wouldn’t tolerate at all. Overall, after the opening is fully completed, this beautiful pineapple-musk scent with linger on your skin for a long time.
It smells sexy, masculine, and somewhat classy, but the best thing about it is that CDNIM is a huge compliment-getter.
People usually say Club de Nuit Intense Man is Creed Aventus Clone, but even though it’s very similar to Aventus, there are still differences.
Opening – Aventus opening smells way more natural and pineapple-like, while CDNIM opening smells synthetic, and truth to be told, it wouldn’t be the first time that I heard from others that it smells like a bathroom cleaning product.
1. Drydown point – Drydown of Aventus is a lot smokier, it goes down to that smokey feel and it’s really unique while on the other hand, CDNIM drydown leads to birch and musk. I wouldn’t say quite the opposite, but very different.
2. The evolvement of the fragrance – both simply have different drydowns. Club de Nuit Intense Man holds tightly to that pineapple-musk scent without many evolvement steps, while Aventus eases on fruitiness and has multiple stages over its life.

items 6: content: When I first bought this bottle, the opening was horrible. Genuinely really bad and to an extent it still is. 9 months later though while it's still harsh, it's not nearly as unwearable as before. The scent smells close enough to aventus in the air, and the drydown is when this really shines, it goes from lemon pledge to a sweet fruity vanilla, it's so beautiful in the drydown but I go noseblind to it really fast. This scent lasts a long time but I tend to go noseblind to it. People around me say I smell amazing but I can't tell. The bottle is really ugly and cheap I can't lie, and the quality of the scent isn't great either but it makes up for it with it's cheap price and long lasting scent.

items 7: content: I saw a ton of videos regarding how good this cologne is and how close it smells to Creed Adventus. I personally do not have creed and don't remember what it smells like, but I thought hey, if I can have a similar smelling product for a fraction of the cost, why not.It is very, very strong when you first spray it on. Way too much and not a very pleasant smell. I've seen videos and read reviews you have to let it sit for 20 minutes. I personally do not have 20 minutes to wait. Once it dries, it does smell pretty good! I've also experimented stacking it with other colognes to make it a unique smell.I've seen videos where the limited version is even better and doesn't have that smell at the beginning. I wish I had seen that prior to buying this one. I would have bought that one instead. The limited is more expensive though. I think the more you wear it, the more you get used to it but how will others feel? You better wait 20 minutes. hahaha.

Fragrance:6/10
got this recommended by my friends and insipration from all the internet hype so i bought it. packing and delivery was all perfecr safe and quick. got a thank you card and another card with some perfume info looks nice
the perfume itself i wasnt so keen on when i smelt it first (belofre buying) but i decided to get it anyway see what the hype is about. Honestly i dont see the origin of hype, it is close to creed aventus but one sniff can tell it apart. it does last very long tho so no complaints on that. theres a atrong dry cirus note at opening, then halfway through kinda smells like orange peel and when its dried down its more musky fully thicker u can smell the sweet and floral notes.
in my personal opinion:
i dont love it, i just like it. its not something id really want to wear when going out. it doesnt draw a specific image in my head i dont feel amazing wearing it. it doesnt have anything special to it, doesnt hold a high value of emotion. and ghe other thing is the notes arent harmonalised as well. surely u can smell them individually but they dont blend in with one another its like every ingredient is screaming for itself and its not one dissolved mix.
longevity 10/10
sillage 10/10
bottle design 7/10
frangrance smell 4/10
overall id say 6/10

items 9: content: Bought this as a blind purchase, heard its a good dupe of creed aventus, although never smelt that before either. Sprayed it on me at 7:30am, time is now 8pm and still smells strong on me. At first i was like nah this is crap, to synthetic and nasty and thought 30 down the drain. Fast forward about 45mins once it had settled down it was a totally different story, its such a nice smell and lasts all day, like all day! Like i said i haven't smelt creed so i cant compare it, im basing my review on this version. I would recommend and i would also purchase again. I sprayed the bottle about 4 times and was told it was really strong, so i would recommend 2 sprays of the bottle maybe 3 most.

items 10: content: I really like this product. The price, the scent, the longevity, the quality! It's all there!Scent 4.5/5 - A lot of reviews say "90/95% Creed but not quite there" but you know what? Your nose doesn't smell in percentages! Anybody who knows the scent of Aventus will think it's Aventus. Even those who wear it. I'm not the BIGGEST fan of the spicy notes of Aventus but I still enjoy it and it's definitely a crowd favorite. The only bad thing I can say about this product is the initial sprays are a bit harsh and have an alcohol scent. The harshness dissipates very quickly though leaving behind a smooth but powerful and alluring scent.Longevity 5/5 - I read a review that said they showered and they could still smell it and chalked it up to embellishment. A series of events led to me taking a shower within an hour of use and you CAN still smell it! More subtle but definitely still there. Other than that, it lasts a 12 hour day easily and you can smell it on your clothes the next day.Quality 5/5 - Between the scent and the longevity it's a homerun. Not only that but even the box it comes it is highly detailed to give it luxurious feel. The cologne is actually from France! Like every quality cologne is. You have nothing to worry about!

I’m really satisfied with my first ever blind buy from Armaf, yes, the opening is HARSH, but give it time. After 30 minutes the results are absolutely amazing. Wore this on a vacation in the Bahamas and got nonstop compliments. The way this stuff performs in the air is masterful. Punches far above its price point.
Believe it or not, CDNIM gets you compliments, regardless of the harsh opening, cheap chemical smell, and whatnot. Let it settle for a couple of minutes, and you're sorted. It's an inexpensive compliment getter when I sprayed it 4 times in our office, sabi ng co-worker ko is “eto na yata ang pinakamabangong naamoy kong office!” for 3 straight days of consistent compliments! hahaha no joke guys. Simple as that, and a blind buy safe!

items 12: content: Fragrance:One of the best masculine scent 🥰
Lasting Hours:8 hrs
EDT is good with harsh opening.
Usually use LE 105ml, expensive, perfect blend.
PP is on the heavy side, not a fan.
Still using the oil, dab, the scent is thick but mass pleasing & calm.
Finish all of it, except the oil.
After a year buying any other dupe (local & non-local) then comeback to CDNIM, yes, CDNIM is the best dupe on this kind of scent, nothing can beat it.
One of the best is Cesur by Osmanli Oud, however the performance is just 2 hrs max 😅 What a shame.
Decide to buy CDNIM EDP 200ml, worth every cent. You need to wait about one day after arrival, if not, some uneasy rotten lemony scent. After a day, the scent is very nice 🤩
After this I just want to buy EDP, Oil & still waiting for the extrait😅

items 13: content: This is the third time I bought same parfume from FragranceX. Unfortunately, the first bottle Club De Nuit Intense Armaf 200ML EDP, and it is the best batch I received. Second time I bought Club De Nuit Intense Armaf 100ML EDT. Quality of this parfume is good & value for money. However, the Quality of my Club De Nuit Intense Armaf EDT decreased when it is expose to hot weather. Because of that, I bought Club De Nuit Intense Armaf from FragranceX for the third time and it is Club De Nuit Intense Armaf EDP 200ML. Unfortunately, quality of parfume that I bought this time smell totally different, smell bad and not the one I expected from FragranceX for Club De Nuit Intense Armaf . As an online shopping platform to sell original Parfume from Singapore Warehouse, and it's the fifth time I buy parfume from FragranceX, it is very disappoint me. Hopefully, my next order of Club De Nuit Intense Armaf parfume from FragranceX will be the best Quality. Please. Thank you so much.

items 14: content: However, yes the opening of limited edition is much smoother however does that alone make it better then the Edt?.No! Why? Because although limited edition has a much smoother opening the overall fragrance smell was sacrificed in the dry down. This is more smoky then the edt, and more black pepper. This is pretty much the dry drydown that your left with smoke and black pepper. The oak moss and birch are toned all the way down, which is should be the heart of the fragrance. Tje EDT has just enough smoke, black pepper, without the losing the birch and oak oakmoss in the drydown. Remember the drydown is what you'll smell like the majority of the life of the fragrance therefore it is the most important smell of the fragrance. The opening of the edt is not bad. I've sprayed in locker room and people liked the opening, however I understand limited edition shines in that aspect..I recommend you save the 60 you would pay the limited edition and get the edt for roughly half that amount.
