Club de Nuit Man Armaf 2012 Eau de Toilette

I like this more than the intense version. I find the intense basic, like a Gillette aftershave.

This one's mysterious. An ideal masculine scent, very mass appealing.

I'm rating this as it's own scent. It's a well rounded, slightly spicy, oriental, woody, resinous scent. It's not too strong but just right. Depends on how much you spray of course.

I know most men prefer the intense version more because its fresh and easier to wear on a daily for the summer months.

This one is for fall and winter months. It's definitely a night out scent.

I was never a fan of the OG One Million, not even when it came back in 2010, and I was 35 back then. I always thought it was way too sweet for my liking.

CDNM is more wearable for a middle-aged man like myself. It lacks the bubble-gummy tones as well as the rose. The spices are there and they're very mellow and nice. You also get a touch of ginger in the opening, and a touch of play-doh/powdery notes.

It is also less loud than the original, making it more controllable in term of finding how many sprays you need to apply for reaching the desired effect. I'll be wearing this a lot in the spring and fall. I wouldn't call this a clone, but a very interesting twist.

8/10 in my opinion.

Fragrantica rating: 3.89/5
Citrusy, warm spicy, aromatic, woody.
Don't know why this is so underrated. A well balanced combination of mild sweetness and spiciness. Soft creamy sweet and a bit powdery. A toned-down and less intense version of one million, pretty decent performance. It definitely deserves more recognition in my opinion.
