“When tested side by side, Aventus on one wrist, CDNIM on the other, it's very clear which one is Aventus. The quality difference is quite drastic. Also, CDNIM has a very strong citrus note that I find a little off-putting. It's not a nice citrus like fresh lemons, but more of a bathroom cleaning product citrus. This scent would be much closer to Aventus if it didn't have that citrus note, but the citrus overpowers the smokey pineapple that we all love in Aventus.I received the "Made in France" version, so I'm not sure if the UAE version is different.I personally found the Reyanne Insurrection Pure II to be much closer to Aventus than CDNIM. The smokey note may be more subtle in Insurrection, but the pineapple is very clear and not masked by other notes.”
“Of course, a clone of Aventus. A lot less refined. Somewhat smells like bug spray initially, but eventually dries down similar to aventus. Instead of pineapple, there is a lemon grapefruit note that can be rather harsh. Not bad, but not great either.”
