Club de Nuit Intense Man Limited Edition Armaf

I compared Club de Nuit Intense Man Limited Edition with Aventus (newer batch) and must say that of all the dupes or clones, this one is the most pleasant to me. Both on the test strip and on the skin, it starts citrusy and smoky without being unpleasant.
I don't pick up any toilet stone vibes. The Aventus smells more refined, but the longevity and sillage fall significantly short compared to this test candidate.

I've heard that older batches are supposed to be much smokier. The newer Aventus reminds me more of Cedrat Boise in terms of the softness of the scent, although of course it lacks the pineapple.

Anyone who enjoys pleasant smoke with a citrusy opening will like this CDNIM LE.
It later develops into a slightly sweeter scent in the dry down.

It is already potent and should be dosed accordingly.

By now, there are definitely better and cheaper Aventus alternatives if you consider the new batches. This perfume definitely belongs to that category.

I can clearly recommend this scent. I got it back then for a good price at Notino for just under €50. For me, it's a no-brainer.
