“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).”
“I have a confession, forgive me father for I have sinned, I have not smelled Aventus. I’m 19 years old so I would not be walking around with 400 dollars worth of fragrance so I opted with this cheapie.The harshness people mention from the initial spray is what I love about this fragrance yes give me that big blast of citrusy smell I love it! Truly a wonderful scent and yes it does get better on the dry down. I love moving my upper body just so I can catch whiffs of it haha!I do get compliments from this, and some even extend to ask what fragrance im wearing and I tell them Creed Aventus. Guys this is such a gem, I’d hate it if this becomes mainstream so let’s keep it among ourselves to enjoy and rock, ja?Somewhere along the road of discovering this fragrance I heard that this may be beast mode and on my skin I don’t believe it’s beast mode. I get solid projection from the first 2 maybe 3 hours then it sits close to the skin. longevity is alright but we’re here for the projection, right? it saddens me that it didn’t work beast mode with my skin but I hope it works well on yours because this truly is a magnificent fragrance.All 3 bottles that I own are 08/2017 Made in France since there are rumors about batch issues. Batch issues? Sounds familiar...Scent: 8/10Longevity: 7/10Sillage: 7/10Clone or not, I love this fragrance.”
“Great Colonge!!. Very Satisfying to others that smell this scent when I walk by. I recieved a lot of compliments from my Female co-workers.Great purchase!!”
“The 2016 batch with silver cap was great! This new 2017 batch with black cap is awful. Scent is all citrus almost pine sol; and goes away in less than 30 min. I thought it was me at first so I even tried 6 sprays. Did not work. After about an hour, there was no projection and a minimal skin scent. 2017 batch is a waste of money, I purchased 2 from different people and both were disappointing.”
