I have 3 versions of Club de Nuit Intense Man (Original, Parfum, Limited Edition Parfum) and I love all of them.

It's harsh screechy and synthetic in the opening and the dry down, there's no escaping this badly mixed concoction. I bought a bottle of edt every 5-6 months , changed then to eau de Parfum and now I own the Parfum versions 150ml and LE. Review Update: It has been over a month since I originally received and sprayed this fragrance for the first time. You have to spray well over 8 sprays to get any whiff of it in the air, when I bought this I assumed it would be a beast-mode fragrance, looks like only in longevity. I only smell the synthetic lemon when i wear this and is not that bas because i like lemon scents but the synthetic smell in the opening is not really something i enjoy.

Just let your EDT macerate for some months and the opening will improve significantly, even though it shouldn't matter since that only last for about 15 to 20 minutes, and the dry down lasts more than 12 hours. The start is mainly citrus, similarly to Invincible, but while in Invincible it's mostly citrus zest, in Club there is actual citrus. The first couple times wearing this, the fragrance gave me a bit of a headache which I can’t say I’ve had before. As a fragrance it’s definitely the most well liked dna by man and women alike I can’t think of a much better fragrance as a whole. I had my hand to my nose for quite awhile as all these old memories came back and the smell was just like the old school Aventus before it was watered down and the performance became lackluster.

And the peers that have smelled me are my school mates, the women digged it and said it suits me, they loved the wear down more than the synthetic start u according to a (girl) friend, while guys said it is either too manly or too fancy for me. This is one to one, like if anyone knows say how close Oud For Glory is to Oud For Greatness knows what I mean. The opening was rough to say the least, an overwhelming synthetic lemon- citrus scent that burns your nostrils and makes you regret your purchace within seconds. Compared to the two other Aventus look-alikes I know, that is MontBlanc Explorer and Tonino Lamborhini Invincibile, this fragrance stands out by how smoky it is. If you getting CDNI dont get the edt or edp but get the Pure Parfum as its much better and has a better opening.Overall, I was getting compliments off the bat with it, one co worker demanding to know what it was so she could get it for her husband for Christmas. I know this has nothing to do with CDNIM, but I'm just trying to give people info I wish I had years ago. I learned that most of mass produced fragrances don’t come ready out of the box, you need to try it few times then put it away for a couple of months or more to macerate properly. Try to combine or layer it with Qasamat Rasani by Rasasi (more Pineapple and fruity) and you will have that nice smooth Creed Aventus vibe, maybe even better.

Major sillage, intense projection; I could smell this all day yesterday when I sprayed just the nook of my elbow. After about 8 hours, I found the base notes to be ok, and yes, even a bit favorable, but this is certainly not a scent I will use again. So after reading forums and reading a lot of youtube videos I got it and I get what you guys are saying about the opening. The Parfum is ridiculously good in terms of Longevity and Sillage, it's also very intoxicating and addictive, what an amazing upgrade from the EDT. I will let CDNIM Pure Parfum sit and macerate for a month and see how it has improved in performance/sillage/scent/lasting power.The patchouli is like a drunk choir member deciding to go solo and sing out of key over everyone else. I think you definitely should go for other dupes like Montblanc Explorer even tho it doesn't last as long. Either version is best aventus clone (parfums vintage stuff is close second but smells too synthetic). If we talk about longevity and performance, As we all know Weather/temperature and most importantly our body chemistry plays a huge role in how a fragrance performs on skin and clothes.

Yes, the pure parfum doesn't have the extreme lemony opening of the edt and I hate the smell of lemon.My PP concentration comes in 150ml which is not easy to hold and aim properly, especially with the inaccurate atomizer. EDT has some projection for about an hour and stays on my skin for about 4 to 5 hours, Pure parfum has almost non existent projection and just some more longevity. LE Parfum reminds me of vintage Aventus batches, As we all know performance of the current batches of Aventus is disappointing and this has caused an unusual demand of old batches even at a higher than normal pricing. A nice beginner fragrance, I admit I underestimated it, but I must say it smells nice, the performance is great on me. EDT has more woodiness and smoky birch in the dry down, which in my opinion makes it way more superior and masculine than the pure parfum version.
