“Almost identical to Aventus by Creed. The opening, as mentioned many times, is a bit different, but after 20-30 minutes you realize it's becoming Aventus more and more. At first, hesitated buying it because of some negative reviews, but now I'm more than happy having bought this wonderful fragrance. Armaf, you did great job. Hey folks, give it a try. You won't regret it.”
“The scent itself smells good. Bought Armaf Club De Nuit Intense Man because of all the positive comparisons to Creed Aventus, I know I can't afford a bottle of Aventus but this is good enough. And the time it got here was faster then the expected date. If I feel like getting another one, I'll get it from this seller.”
“I dont know if I received a bad batch, or the cologne is poor, but I do not care for this at all. I will never use it. I cannot believe there are people who consider this similar in quality to Aventus.”
“I recently bought a sample of Creed Aventus from a sample shop online. I really fell for the scent and the notes. However, the price is too much and after reading reviews and watching youtube reviews I decided to give this a go. One day I will buy it but not today or soon.I sprayed both on different sample stips and could not tell the difference only that they came from different bottles. My wife spelled Armaf version and said it smells more masculine than the Creed version. Which after smelling them the slight difference is that. However, most people that don't own this fragrance will not be able to tell... For now I am buying two more bottles to stock up. Thanks ARMAF for the this awesome JUICE...”
“This is going to be an updated review since I've owned this for much longer now (1 yr).This is a good fragrance. When I first got it I was so excited as to my nose it smelled similar to Aventus. One thing I want to note is that I personally don't get any pineapple out of this. The sweeter fruity-ness present in Aventus is non existent. That's not to say Aventus is a sweet fragrance (not at all) but it does have a sweetness to it (pinapple/apple). I also appreciate the amberghris that's in Aventus which gives it a salty-er smell. The birch (where the smoke comes from) is good in both fragrances although a lesser quality birch in CDNIM.So what does each smell like overall?Club de nuit intense man:-Lots of lemon. Like most people have noted, when you first spray this it is actually pretty synthetic and smells like a lemon pledge cleaner. The acidic lemon and smoky birch just hits you hard. After 10-15 minutes once the fragrance settles it develops a bit and you can pick up the rose in the background and maybe a green apple (very faint) a bit. After about 1-1.5 hours this fragrance is much better and closer to Aventus. The lemon is still there but is toned down with the smoke hanging around. Near the end of this fragrance all you will get is that smoky birch. The performance is excellent, and lasts 8+ hours every time at least. Projection is just average on me though.Summed up- tart lemon, smoky birch with slight hints of apple and rose. Scratchy, but dries down to a nice scent. I don't know how expensive pineapple is in perfumery, but it seems like Armaf tried to mimic a pineapple accord by using apple and lemon but it's hard to get passed that sour smell lemons give off, and its prominent in this.Aventus (batch 16h11 for those who care):-A fragrance with many juxtapositions. When you first spray this, it doesn't matter how close you smell it...it's smooth. The first thing I get is a tart pineapple that hasn't fully ripened and it gives the fragrance a slight sweetness. You will also get the birch which is again smokey, but you can pick up bergamot, apples, patchouli, and slight vanilla. The balance of each note in this is immaculate. There isn't too much of anything. It also doesnt have that acidic lemon smell you get of CDNIM. The performance is excellent and I get at least 8 hrs every time but this thing projects out like a beast. I will have people comment on my fragrance 3-4 feet away 7 hours after applying it.The sweetness of the pineapple and apple play off the tartness of the smoky birch and salty amberghris. It's rough and masculine but it has an inviting aspect with the fruity notes...a true masterpiece.For a reccomendation I would say save up for Aventus and get the real deal. Not that it matters, but I have never once received a compliment wearing CDNIM (your wearing may differ). With Aventus, every single time I wear it I get multiple compliments. Especially people asking what I am wearing. That tells me the Aventus smells better not just up close but in it's sillage. But considering the price you pay, CDNIM is not bad at all. It is, however, no where near Aventus in quality and balance of notes.”
