Club de Nuit Intense Man Armaf 2015 Eau de Toilette

Unlike many perfume enthusiasts here, I am probably one of the few who had the chance to sniff Club de Nuit Intense Man Eau de Toilette BEFORE the first contact with "Aventus (Eau de Parfum) | Creed".

For some time now, Club de Nuit Intense Man Eau de Toilette has carved out a frequently visited spot in my fragrance collection. The super sour opening and this wonderfully lightly smoky continuation make it a scent that clearly makes a statement, perceptible to others but by no means intrusive. It is liked by everyone around me and is perceived as pleasant. That’s why I enjoy wearing it to dinner with friends, to the beer garden, for game nights, or simply because I feel like it.
Recently, I finally got to experience "Aventus (Eau de Parfum) | Creed" at the upscale department store in the Swabian metropolis, and aside from the opening (more on the pineapple side), the inspiration is definitely recognizable.
Club de Nuit Intense Man Eau de Toilette comes across as a bit sharper and more pronounced in everything. And that’s exactly what I like about Club de Nuit Intense Man Eau de Toilette even better than its more expensive brother. I may have an untrained and unrefined nose here, but I would actually prefer the cheaper of the two fragrances - and not because of the price but because of the scent that suits me better.

Conclusion: Even without the comparison to the luxury scent, a solid perfume for many occasions that is enjoyable, fun, and lasts a long time with a lot of character.
