“This is the second purchase from Amazon of the same product within six weeks or so. THIS one, sold by Amazon, has all of the signs of a knockoff!! This one came from a NJ Amazon warehouse, but in a plain brown box with plain clear tape.Strange.1. Printing of codes on the box label goes off the label.2. The inner flap of the box is a separate piece, not the normal attached cardboard.3. The bottle has a black sprayer, not the common chrome one.4. The scent is not the same,nor as strong. Tested on strips to keep fromhaving skin testing variations.Amazon handle the return in procedure quickly for me.Update:. June and a new order. Seller is Amazon LLC. Well, Amazon did not show what they are really selling!🥱. Armaf has a new version out without alcohol. But, the stack it with Iso E Super and Ambroxin. Very different scent. Not long lasting.Amazon does NOT show they have substituted. They probably don't know. The original version IS still being made.BTW. The regular CDNI weighed in at 524 grams. This bottle Amazon sends weighs 60 grams less!Amazon now claims you cannot return it because of alcohol. THIS SPECIFICALLY DOES NOT have alcohol!!May want to buy from another seller than Amazon, then ask first.”
“Man i have to say i love this frag, smells way more expensive than it is, one of my favorites, its unique, i know its close to King Aventus, but different in its own way, real good, even bought a backup bottle, don't fall for the negative reviews, its worth the money.”
“I am truly enjoying this fragrance! It has meant & exceeded my expectations. It smells absolutely amazing! It puts me in mind of the cologne Aventis by the house of Creed.”
“Aparentemente la caja estaba cerrada con un celofán transparente, pero a su interior estaba dañada, con una botella que presentaba rayones y la cadena rota, es una lástima recibir productos en estas condicines.”
“Excellent product! I bought this after hearing countless reviews and blogs that this is the best Aventus clone, ever. And I was not disappointed, rather was surprised how good this was, at that too at this price! Would discontinue l definitely recommend to any guy who wants to smell posh and regal!”
“TLDR Version: Find a seller that sells an older batch Pre 20178(Silver/chrome sprayer). The new reformulations (Black sprayer with armaf engraving) are severely under performing.Pre 2018: Long lasting (8+ hours on 3 sprays, Great projection, endless compliments)2018 Batch: Short lasting (2 hours max and can't even smell it on my skin)What ever happened to the idea that "if it aint broke don't fix it"? This is the 2nd time buying CDNIM and apparently I ended up getting a newer reformulation. I must say this reformulation is TERRIBLE.5/5 Stats: Here are the "stats": Batch# 251459, 80%vol, PD: 12/2017 (production date?), ED: 12/2022 (Expiration Date?).My original bottle with the Silver Sprayer was purchased in March 2018 from "Hammad's Bargains". Amazing scent, amazing performance, great projection and it lasted all day, easily 8-10 hours with just 3 sprays.(5/5 stars).1/5 Stars: Here are the "stats": Batch# 253766, 10541. PD: 02/2018, ED: 02/2023.My Newest bottle purchased in July 2018 from "Sterling Parfums" is from a February 2018 batch. This is a complete 180 in performance and a huge disappointment. While yes the smell is still great, you wont smell if after 2 hours. Its barely even noticeable on the skin by that point. There is little to no projection. I've tried spraying 5 times instead of my normal 3, I've tried spraying it directly on my suits, and I even did the pillow test. Again after about 2 hours the fragrance is nonexistent.Check with the Seller before buying. DO NOT BUY the newer batches/reformulations. If its made in 2018 you will be disappointed.”
