“This has been compared to Creed Aventus which I currently don't have, but besides that, I think this is a very good smelling EDT. My partner has complimented me on this fragrance. Some have said that it smells like lemon pledge on the opening, but I don't smell that. It does have notes of lemon, but I find it to be very refreshing, and after about 20-30 mins, the dry-down becomes very good! CDNIM is a monster when it comes to longevity on me! I can pick up hints of it well after 12 hours ... again on me. Everyone's chemistry is different so you may have a not so similar experience. But most reviews I've seen talk to its longevity. I have very few colognes that perform this well. And I have much more expensive fragrances in my small collection (Bleu de Chanel, Dior Suavage EDT/EDP, Prada, some Versace fragrances, Aqua di Gio Profumo, Dolce & Gabbana, etc.) and this "cheapie" is one of my favorites. I actually prefer it to Dylan Blue & Prada L'Homme. I rate this after Sauvage, Bleu de Chanel, and Profumo. And it has better longevity than Chanel and Profumo. For the price, I would definitely get this cologne. I'm not a fragrance enthusiast and this cologne gets a lot of hate in that community as its a clone of Aventus. But if you have $300-$400 to spend on Aventus, go for it! One day I will buy Aventus, but for now I love this Armaf Aventus clone!”
“I ordered after all the positive reviews, but those are for people just looking for something new for occasionally use. I needed a daily driver and this one sucks!!!It smells like bathroom cleaner and cheap cigars. Weird combination, right ? It smells worst then it sounds. I would not even use it occasionally. Eastern perfumes really are a hit or miss situation and this is definitely a miss”
“I purchased a small size of Creed and fell in love with the scent. Checking pricing, on the other hand, through me for a loop. I searched for a 'copy' of it and found this one. This one is much more budget friendly and smells the same as Creed.”
