Cheap Creed Aventus?
To answer the question briefly and succinctly: No way!
I smelled Creed Aventus for the first time only 2 months ago and got a sample and was damned impressed by the smell! I was really carried away. Wearable all year round and everywhere and that packed in a fruity, masculine and clean natural smelling fragrance. For me even if I do not yet own it one of my absolute favorite fragrances regardless of how widespread it is However, it is now known that every second fragrance is felt to be a clone of Creed Aventus or very strongly inspired by him. So I was wondering if there is anything that comes very close to that but might even save me 200 quid... yes yes I know you should get the original and not a cheap copy, even if you want to smell like the original And up until a certain point, I understand that. However, after 10 years on the market, the fragrance loses its originality, which is a pity, but it is increasingly difficult to justify such a price. Everyone has to decide for himself... anyway, this is about Armaf's Club de Nuit Intense and it definitely belongs to the fragrances inspired by Creed Aventus, but...
Club de Nuit Intense is NOT Creed Aventus and as many have said, you notice that especially in the opening. The citrus note comes out much too strong and more importantly, much too synthetically pungent and in my nose very badly balanced compared to the other notes. This is what immediately stands out and, according to my experience, is also permanently preserved. After some time this arrogant citrus evaporates, but is still perceptible and the main point of the CdN does not make the perfect Creed Aventus clone. In dry down, the fragrance also appears sharper and heavier than Aventus, which I personally wouldn't consider to be generally negative, but on the other hand it doesn't make me love it anymore. Where the scent surprised me positively was with the pineapple note, which I found to be very naturally fruity, even though the lemon never really brings it to the fore.
Now all this doesn't sound as rosy as I describe it, but that is grumbling on a high level. In terms of price they are in a ratio of 1 : 6 compared to what you can clearly see but to get away from the comparison a little bit...
Club de Nuit Intense is NOT A BAD SUMMER. With its fresh fruitiness it fits perfectly into spring and autumn. For the summer I find it too penetrating and for the winter there are much better competitors, even on a fruity basis. For collections that should generally not be too large and also not too expensive, he makes a good job and can be considered.
Nevertheless, he only strengthened me in the thought that sooner or later I MUST get the original ;)
I hope that the commentary is not too one-sided, even if these are the main thoughts that have stuck in my head, and I hope that I could help some of them to some extent

Fine, but still more appearance than substance?
I was looking for a fragrance for the winter, which perfectly reflects the season with a concise yet beautifully rounded sweetness, provides for conversation at evenings out and can accompany me gracefully yet dominantly...
