Club de Nuit Intense Man Limited Edition Armaf

So many people have always told me "Don't buy without testing the fragrance first"....

Well, what can I say so far the "blind buying" has always been very positive for me, I have never actually bought a perfume that I regretted afterwards.... UNTIL..... yes, until I bought the CDNIM LE......

It arrived yesterday
One thing in advance: Packaging = mega good for this price range. I was really positively surprised how cool the perfume is packaged, mega high quality and with attention to detail, incredibly beautiful storage box, that may also be due to the limited edition ?!?!
So you really can't complain for the money you pay for it.

But now to the most important thing - the smell!
I applied the Armaf CDNIM yesterday and immediately afterwards I had a feeling of nausea that came up in me. This was paired with a stabbing headache that came on after about 5 minutes and remained constant (although a little less over time) unfortunately.

Opening = Explosion of indefinable notes that seem highly synthetic and were absolutely unidentifiable for me. Unfortunately, I personally could perceive ZERO pineapple, lime or bergamot in the opening.
In the further course of the fragrance it became a little "better", the headache went away a little, but I had to struggle with nausea throughout...
The perfume becomes a little calmer after about 30 minutes / 1 hour and YES, it comes close to Creed Aventus in terms of fragrance DNA, because the pineapple slowly asserts itself a little (very minimally in the background) and the brutal synthetics from the beginning subside a little (a little!)...

Nevertheless, unfortunately not at all my fragrance DNA and the 1st perfume that really caused me nausea and headache, so my body also clearly signaled me to switch to war mode as soon as I applied this perfume....
Honestly, I really can't understand how people celebrate this scent, but at the same time I have to remind myself that of course tastes differ .... (I also like wearing the Air Tiger, which makes many people run away screaming :-) )

As far as the durability is concerned, I can (unfortunately) only say that it's pretty decent and lasts a long time - easily 8 hours and more for me, approx.

Sillage is also quite decent as I discovered yesterday.

Conclusion for me: Really the worst thing I have ever smelled, absolutely not my fragrance and this fragrance will (unfortunately) never be used again by me....
It's a shame that the fragrance is now sitting in the room in this great packaging and nobody is using it....
I would never have thought that I would rate a perfume so poorly in terms of scent, but this one has secured the number 1 spot in my list of "bright perfumes"!

PS: How people sometimes write in here that the CDNIM LE smells like a "Sauvage" from Dior is an absolute mystery to me! I love the Sauvage, but for me the fragrances could hardly be more different.... But well, everyone perceives fragrances differently...
