If you can get through the lemon heavy opening (like 5 minutes) you get an incredible smoky fragrance. I sprayed it like 10 times and now opened the cap and let it mascerate for a week in my closet in the box. I'm not a delicate person with a delicate sophisticated nose yet I do know what I like and this works great for me.

After I put it on, I knew right away I made a mistake, but I thought I'd let it go for a bit to see how it played out. 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. It's harsh screechy and synthetic in the opening and the dry down, there's no escaping this badly mixed concoction.The other one I can use as an air freshener but Club de Nuit is not suitable even for that because the chemical disaster that it creates it just too off putting.

An update after letting my bottle set for a couple of month's, i must say that this is now an amazing scent.

You will smell like a tree deadass with a little or if not also smelling real Smokey like creed of course. For trained noses, when the scent is going away after 9 hours, it can be astringent and synthetic just as the beginning. From his perspective, the top notes smell like aftershave, and the middle notes smell like new car leather. I don't know how the CDNIM Limited Edition smells, but if it is as they say smoother, go for that one instead if you like this DNA. After the 3-4 hours it's still there but only those in close proximity to you will smell you, but they still don't have to get too close.
