    When I first started watching RUclips videos for recommendations, every channel was talking about how great this was. I don't know what Creed Aventus smells like. I just wanted a good affordable fragrance, so I ordered this. It seemed like from the time I clicked order till right before it arrived, RUclips switched and all the sudden everybody hated it. So then I was nervous when it finally arrived. Thought I might have wasted $28. Luckily it smells great and lasts all day long.
    I don't know what made people flip on this, but I think it's a great fragrance. Especially at that low of a price.

If you have ever smelled the juice that comes in the fake plastic 🍋 lemons at the store, that acidic pungent feeling was what I got.
      I gifted it to a friend. He liked it, and has bought a couple of bottles since. However, he has told me the opening has gotten weaker and that the juice is not as long lasting or strong as the one I gave him. Still his signature scent, but it only projects around two hours now.

    Thanks for the video. With you’re profession as an attorney I think that puts you in a very good position to compare this fragrance against Aventus. I started wearing fragrances about 5 years ago. In that time I’ve heard a lot about Creed Aventus and have wanted a bottle ever since. Most of not all of the fragrances I’ve purchased have been blind buys. I didn’t sample them anywhere before I purchased them. I was on the verge of purchasing a bottle of Aventus a few days ago but ultimately deleted it from my shopping cart. I’ve watched a lot of videos here on RUclips and learned that Aventus has been reformulated. One guy in a video compared an old batch with a new batch of Aventus. The older had a slightly greenish tint to in while the new was clear as water. Makes me wonder if Aventus is really as good as people say it is. I’m not about to pay $300/400 on a bottle of cologne without smelling it first even if all my other fragrances were blind buys. I still want to know what Creed Aventus smells like.I did purchase a bottle of club de Nuit intense a few days ago and with you’re video I believe I made the better choice. Thanks again!

    Maceration is real!
    I am adding this review specifically to those who are complaining about the longevity. Try this out, its real.
    Spray a few sprays out of the new bottle and then leave it without box and cap to age. Come back to it later and see the difference!! You would notice a difference in 2 weeks but I recommend 1 to 2 months at least. The scent gets better and longevity as well.
    I get 8+ hours on skin and 12+ on clothes.
    Maceration is real for these fragrances.

    I've had many Creed Aventus samples over years because I couldn't justify buying a full bottle and I just got CDNIM let me tell you its basically the same. Only a super frag head would be able to tell the difference but to the other 95% of the population they will assume you're wearing Aventus. Even my 17 yr old son started wearing it and he's gotten a few compliments at his school. CDNIM is great especially for the price.

I Can tell it really is strong and powerful on the first minutes when you spray it. First time i smelt it smelt like spruce needle and little like a tree on a forest. Greetings from Finland its good for its price. I'm really interested to get the famous Creed Aventus just to test it is it really that good.

    You should see the DdNIM parfum (not EdP) limited edition from 2021. Velvet black fabric bag and a presentation like a present for a king. Qualitywise the whole club de nuit line is super good and super high rated. Be it Club de Nuit, Milestone, Sillage, CdNI Woman, CdN Woman. All the heavy swaroski stone flacons but the colour is different or the cup colour is golden, silver or black. From this line only Urban Man has a not so good reputation. Tres Nuit is good as well, Nice Oud a nice autum spring scent.

  • @domcagney2352
    @domcagney2352 3 года назад +4

    I love Aventus, it may be my favorite fragrance. Having said that, I don't love Creed and would happily buy a fragrance that smelled identical to Aventus for a fraction of the price and lose zero sleep. Creed will relentlessly look for ways to cut costs while taking more money out of my pocket...I don't fault them, it's just business. But it makes my loyalty 100% dependent on the smell alone and my personal preference/experience. It's on them to give me no choice but to purchase their product if I want that experience and so far, they have...
    CDNIM is decent- the opening is a bit jumbled and obtuse for me but it has flashes of brilliance in the deep dry down. I wouldn't say it's a spot on clone of Aventus in any way, shape or form- I would say it's a similar fragrance that achieves a similar feat for a different audience. I respect Armaf for what they've been able to do; I thought their bottles were tacky at first but I've grown to find them endearing. Their clones seem to have gotten better and better too with Milestone and Sillage now. All the while keeping this cult following for CDNIM, their first-ish and least identical clone in my book, for it's originality while being a clone of a well known scent which isn't easy to do. I own it, I'll wear it occasionally and if you're not super into fragrances but loved that one time you smelled Aventus- you probably won't even remember how different they are. But if you wear Aventus regularly and love it, it will not come close.

So i don't know why i should buy something that costs a few hundred when theres something just like it at a fraction of that price.

Searching for fragrances that last is what introduced me to clones. Some are garbage and some are wearable. 2020 came with a lot of transitions. The Edp version of Club De Nuit intense man is worth the money and it lasts a long time that smokey vanilla dry down is what did it to me. Aventus for the weekends CDNIM edp for typical weekdays.
