The blend is spot on after the opening and the purchase made me happy as I can start my day with Aventus and decant this for instances when I want to add more oomph to the scent later in the afternoon. From his perspective, the top notes smell like aftershave, and the middle notes smell like new car leather.

The patchouli is like a drunk choir member deciding to go solo and sing out of key over everyone else. I have never smelled aventus so I can't comment on that, but sometimes when I'm wearing the thing that comes to mind is "ashtray". I waited for more than a year for this to "macerate" but it just turned out to be a bad batch so do avoid it all costs and you will be fine. It's still got some of that Lemon Pledge-ness to it in the opening(which I love, so I'm fine with it) but it's even sweeter and more pineappley than my Aventus batches.At first, I was so skeptical because it didn't smell that impressive on me but when I retried the latest Aventus on my skin, it smelled almost exactly alike. A hugely popular fresh masculine fragrance from Armaf which has gained a big following among online fragrance enthusiasts. An update after letting my bottle set for a couple of month's, i must say that this is now an amazing scent.

If you want something as close to this but with natural ingredients and way more interesting go for the Neon. I go for the EDT when I want something slightly more masculine as it is more woody and smoky than the PP. Explore your wild side with Club De Nuit Intense Man, a sophisticated masculine fragrance that is designed to captivate and tantalise. Some people think the opening is off-putting, but the blast of lemon you get from the EDT, and lemon/pineapple combo from the EDP, smell fantastic to me. Well considering the fact that the opening is harsh and synthetic but taking others factors into consideration, "THIS IS A GREAT PERFUME", I used Mont Blanc explorer as well but when I came through this stuff, I was blown away.

After just 1 week of light usage, it just started squirting random "lines" of liquid which I think completely changed how it performs on skin and clothes. This is my first ever fragrance to get as perfume collector , and I blind bought this off of reviews , and also since I love the orginal creed aventus smell . In conclusion the smell starts off harsh but dries down well and has amazing performance although now I rarely ever use it as I have better options and that harsh opening just causes me to pass on it most of the time. Start with a fresh burst of lemon, bergamot, pineapple, apple and blackcurrant that will tantalise your senses and awaken your spirit.

If you subtract the smokiness, Club Parfum smells much like Explorer, but a little better, because the fruits are more juicy. People over there seem content with trends but think they started that trend when they're on the end of the trend. As much as I like it, I do prefer Al Haramain L'Adventure and Afnan Supermacy Silver, which I also own. Performance is slightly below average - not terrible but less than outstanding considering its parfum concentration. I own a 2016 batch of aventus and I literally cannot tell the difference between that and my cdnim pure parfum.The most masculine perfume I own that is not sweet, and that's saying something cause I love sweet perfumes. Compliments- preference differs not good for everyone maybe they will compliment the projection and longevity. CDNIM has always had this scratchy low-quality vibe to it for me that I could never embrace totally.
