“Now, I want to start by saying that I personally never have smelled Creed Aventus, nor do I own it and don’t plan to walk around with $300+ worth of fragrance as a 21 year old on a budget, but have heard of it and the huge hype it gets.I do, however, own Mont Blanc Explorer which is similar to Creed’s Aventus and upon buying Armaf CDNIM for the first time today, I can totally see a 95% resemblance to my Explorer EDP by Mont Blanc and sniffing the atomiser, both smell so similar. According to Fragrantica, Club de Nuit Intense Man and Aventus both have the exact same notes, BUT they just added a lemon note to Armaf’s version and it is very prominent upon the initial spray. It’s very sharp. But then 30 minutes later onto the dry down process, I noticed the Explorer vibe from it and now I can get a good idea of what Aventus might smell like, albeit I know that Aventus is much smoother and richer in terms of quality, I mean of course; you’re paying $300+ for top notch ingredients and whatnot. But I don’t see why you would “need” to spend outrageous amounts of money to smell good when there are alternatives from reputable companies that produce clones at a fraction of the cost.One thing I really enjoyed was the packaging it came in. The box. It had this nice, smooth and luxurious feel to it, it was such a nice touch by Armaf to do. And the bottle is a beautiful size and look with the little decorative diamonds. It gives a sense of pure luxury and quality. It will sure last me a while before I purchase again. I do enjoy the scent and I plan to use it often. I’d like to reserve my more expensive Mont Blanc Explorer for special occasions and still enjoy that same vibe and smell I love using CDNIM. It is such a good alternative to Aventus and Explorer and I believe you cannot go wrong. Go ahead and do yourself a favour and buy a bottle if you don’t want to spend an arm and a leg for Aventus. I have been wanting to get this for quite some time now, and I am happy with my purchase with Armaf Club de Nuit Intense Man. I love it!”
“As one might know, it's difficult to determine how it smells to others, aside from what you can smell yourself, but pleasant nonetheless and stays with you for almost an entire day as best I can tell!”
