“So why does this smell like synthetic rubber bands? Does not smell like aventus at all even in the acclaimed "dry down"I only purchased this since users keep on boasting about how it smells like aventus, na-ah! ya'll went crazy on the hype train or something has changed.rubber band smell is not "luxurious inviting scent"guess I gotta find a way to return it”
“This is not a Creed Aventus substitute. It shares some characteristics with Creed. Albeit, Creed is much better and smoother fragrance.The initial application of this cologne left me thinking, "Wow, I just wasted 35 dollars!" However, after the rude and overbearing application, the Club De Nuit cooled down and had a pleasant and masculine smell, which I find is a spicy smokiness reminiscent of Aramis and Devin of the late 70's and early 80's.Three things to consider.1. The application is rough. It is a lemony mess that goes on too strong. 15-20 minutes cool down is needed to enjoy the fragrance.2. After wearing it a few times, it seems to smell better on me after a few times using the cologne.3. It will solicit compliments if it is not over-applied (3 sprays, IMO).”
