Club de Nuit Intense Man Limited Edition Armaf

They really gotta come up with a shorter name. This is a beast fragrance. You will get noticed. You will be the guy everybody is wondering what your wearing. Even the edt is awesome, but the edt has a harsh opening. The limited edition Parfum is a 10 on first spray to the 8-10 hr Drydown. Yes it may have a pine sol type smell, but it's a great pine sol smell. Highly recommend this fragrance to anybody just starting off.

It's fruity, citrusy and it smells heavenly. Performs so well In the hot weather 80 degrees and above. For the price of aventus and for this it's a steal from armaf company. I'll definitely stock up more before the prices increase and reformulation happens. Compliments so far today from 5 people. 4 beautiful ladies and a friend.

…this stuff is LOUD and EVERLASTING… if you like the OG, this stuff will make you melt.

Erase the bug spray vibes of the EDT, smooth it out, and crank up the smokiness. That’s what you get here. It’s great.

The opening is very different though. A strong lemon note lingers as a licorice-feeling incense note holds solid. In the beginning, those that crave a pure Aventus clone might tear up and cry. As it sits and matures, the Aventus feelings emerge, and at about the 3 hour mark, your covered in a very thick, very loud Aventus smoke bubble that reaches out about 4ft, and leaves a loud sillage everywhere you go. True Creed enthusiasts will know it’s not the real deal (you can tell the notes aren’t the expensive ones), but it smells great and performs well. An Easy 12hour performer that never goes less than 2-3ft in projection radius.

Better than the EDT? Yes, exponentially.
Better than Explorer? Yes, on many facets.
As good as Creed? That’s a relative question… people that have never smelled Creed, or aren’t frag heads won’t know the difference, while that have smelled Aventus will easily be able to tell you it isn’t Creed.

I like it so much that I ordered the Pure Parfum version just to see what else they can do to this.

I like Armaf… the stuff I’ve tried performs very well.

After all of the free bottle YouTube suspects spending the past few years absolutely hyping this fragrance, I didn’t think there was any way it was real.

I saw it for a good price and took a chance on it just out of pure curiosity. I don’t own the original Aventus, but I am a big fan of Mont Blanc Explorer. I figured if I hated CDNIM LE Pure Parfum, I’d just sell it and recoup some money. Well….I’m not selling it. In fact, I might sell Mont Blanc Explorer instead.

CDNIM opens a lot more citrus forward and does have kind of a sharp lemon note for the first 30 minutes. Don’t let anyone fool you into thinking it isn’t noticeable or that it’s “smooth.” It’s not. It’s not lemon cleaner, but it’s pushing it. I much prefer the opening to Explorer as the bergamot comes off like pineapple and is way less harsh.

BUT, once that dry down hits it is so nice. Armaf really nails the smoky birch blended with just the right amount of ambroxan with a touch of leather. And when the citrus calms down it’s a very nice compliment to the base notes.

Explorer turns into a skin scent about 2 to 3 hours on me even with 5-7 sprays. I was still getting whiffs of this one off of my skin at around the 12 hour mark. It’s not a very loud projector, but it lasts quite a while.

The presentation and bottle are pretty gimmicky. Pulling a middle eastern clone fragrance out of such a fancy bag and box was kind of comical to me. The charm that hangs off the CDNIM bottles feels cheap and the diamond cap is tacky. I will give it this. The bottle itself has some heft to it and doesn’t feel poorly made. The mirrored gun metal finish on the bottle was a nice touch. The atomizer is nothing extraordinary but it’s functional.

If you like the Aventus DNA, this is a good buy.

As the title says I consider it the best in the cdnim line. It opens with enough citrus, but it is not harsh. The citrus notes linger and project for quite a bit and then you get the smoky pineapple. The very smoky pineapple. I love this part. I won't compare it with aventus. I have smelled quite a few clones/inspirations of this dna. I think this is my favourite by far. Performance-wise it is very decent, even strong I would say. I am wearing it right now and after 7 hours it still projects a little bit and smells strong on my skin. If you love this dna get it. A warning though. I don't think it works well in high heat (over 30C). The intense smokiness can get weird.
