We're back with another blind reaction video. We have 10 bags with test strips inside each. The bags are batched in pairs. Each pair has an original fragrance and clone fragrance. We're asking each one of our guests to try and figure out which fragrance is this original and which one is the clone. At the end of this video, we'll see how many each guest got right and how many they got wrong. We hope you enjoy!

What I find interesting is CDNIM’s performance on paper vs skin. On paper it’s very faint and doesn’t develop, but on skin there’s massive imprinting and it pushes off the skin beautifully.

@PaladinJenkis Год назад

This is so tricky, if you have the direct comparison on a paper strip you can definitely smell a difference, on skin as well. But if you're smelling it in the air when someone passes you by, no chance you could tell if the parfum is fake or not even though you are very familiar with the original scent. Interesting video

@@eveyoung3656 There are some exceptional ones that are worth it, also niche doesn't mean high-end so not per se expensive. A Montale/Mancera frag can be discounted to even 60 euro's for a 100/120ml.

6:28 did she really say CDNIM is more subtle than Aventus??? Aventus definitely smells a lot more realistic and nice but in what world does CDNIM smells subtle 🤯 If thats because of the new reformulation, CDNIM is dead now, people were only willing to over look how synthetic it smell because of its monstrous performance and the price tag. Also, I find it a bit strange strange how the guy in the blue dress shirt know the real deal is way more expensive than the clone yet he only guesses that br540 cost $60, its almost seems like he tries to show us that he is not that into fragrances lol. Like at least you could have guess 100, who would spend 20 less just to get a clone instead of buying the original that actually smell better.

Yeah man, I was baffled too and thinking how in the hell they could say that CDNIM was way weaker than Aventus. If you look in fragrantica people using Aventus find the modern batches to have big problems in terms of longevity, projection, and sillage, with CDNIM vastly outperforming it.

@MrHubyBuby Год назад

Very wired, I'm using Club De Nuit EDP now, when I spray my wife complains that the opening is way to strong,she can't stand it but the dry down is amazing. I spray at 6 am, going to work, coming back home at almost 8 pm and my wife feels the scent on me after all those hours and from few feet away, Creed Aventus vanishes after around 2-4 hours. For some odd reason in this video Creed was the stronger one, maybe it's only the opening, but if CDNI is already unbearable at the opening,I wonder how strong was the Aventus on that paper.
