Incredibly nice to hear you provide an historical account on both of these and how that plays a role in everything. Love to see these details. By the way, congrats on the 400k champ!
I got 200ml bottle of CDNIM EDP for around £30 almost 4 years ago. Initially I didn’t like it because of that sharp, lemon scented cleaner like opening; however, after over 3 years of just sitting on the shelf, I have to say that the opening has changed a lot and all the harshness is gone. The performance and projection are still outstanding and I feel like this is one of my most complimented fragrances together with BDC EDP and Moustache EDP.
@@arturmarques5477Yeah, I was gonna say it lasts way longer on clothes than skin. I’d say replace one of the neck sprays for the collar on the front of your shirt instead, then you can smell it whenever you want. If you’re wearing a dress style of shirt then on your sleeve. It is an addicting and calming scent, one of my favs.
I use and like them both. Club de nuit Intense projects better with longer longevity. Bit harsh opening but fade right away. And way cheaper. Explorer is smoother, more mature than CDNIM. I used to use CDNIM alot for gym or outdoor activities but now I see myself using Explorer more.
Am I crazy to say I've never really gotten that lemon cleaner smell from CDNIM? I get an immediate hit of Pineapple which I've heard people say it lacks. Had my bottle for 3-4 years now.
Montblanc Explorer is in his price range the best I use it in summertime daily during work but have to admit I spray during 8 hours work at least 2 times extra!
I liked mont blanc explorer smell but definitely super soft projection and low performance.. you may have to over spray and reapply during the day again 😅
i got both from the video and also cdnim limited editon... for me first place is limited edition then the normal edition and then montblanc...mantblanc doesnt last at all, cdnim are way stronger... there is a 8euro (germany) clone out here from La Rive - Black Creek (now Black Water) i think its like montblanc but is alot cheaper...it only lasts 3 hours but thats ok for 8euro i can spray 20 times every two hours LOL great for refreshing on hot summer days...
I just found a 2015 tester bottle of Dior homme eau for men silver collar at Sephora and they gave it to me for free after I explained how old of a discontinued bottle it was. What a day 🙏🏻
Silver collar not silver stem right? I think except for DHI and DHP the collar on the others regardless of formulation all had silver collars. But the original Dior Homme had a silver stem instead of a black one. The og DHI might have had it too but I’m not positive. If you came up on a silver stem then congratulations. Since they are discontinued you got a cool bottle no matter what but silver stem is levels cooler lol
I prefer CDNIM ,i got hooked on that lemon. I tried many Aventus clones and without the lemon ,it's not it.Explorer makes my stomach feel wierd, too much Ambroxan i guess. CDNIM for life.
On "my" skin, explorer is weak af and has no "heft" whatsoever. I like it, but will never buy it because of that. I haven't got onto the cdim train yet
CDNIM is harsh and appalling from the opening till the end of the fragrance which is 12 hours later and maybe more. Explorer dosnt last that long but is smoother and smells more expensive. None of these two fragrances come close to the overpriced Aventus.
This man debate on adding points on how both bottles looks.. but didn't thought about adding more points when there's a 20$ difference plus a bit more juice.🤔. Lol hes biased for sure.
True, Mrs Mary Gail service is a talk of the town, I started with a little amount of 2000 etherum, and I've made a huge returns. I have been constantly investing with her
I legitimately can’t smell the Aventus dna!!! Aventus, explorer, hacivat, Cedrat Boise, and all the various clones. They make me go nose blind horribly. Same with br540 and sauvage.
@@BlessedDelight1 Didn’t say they were. I said I can’t smell anything that’s similar to the Aventus dna and then I listed them. Lastly I was referring to the clones like CDNIM, laventure, supremacy, etc….
PLEASE do a review on Amber and Smoke. Or if possible, does anyone know the category Amber and Smoke is in, i want to find a cologne that is along the line of that scent but idk where to look
Bro u have literally done this video like 3 times now and ever other RU-vidr has done this exact same video kets get creative andncome up with something new thats not just being redone for views
Was on a trip in Rome and went out to eat at a fancy Italian restaurant wearing Club de Nuit Intense. The waiter started complimenting me saying "Creed Aventus, it is the best". That's the whole confirmation that I needed
CDNIM edt is the most "complimented" fragrance that I own. It's one of my favorites. It's literally better than most of the designer stuff sold at retailers. I will never understand all the complaints about it.
If that is your most complimented frag, you are either around some Weirdos or you don't have enough frags... That 💩 smells like toilet bowl cleaner...frfr
@@fatherof3792chap puts an honest respectful comment on social media, you respond taking the Micky out of him and suggest the people he hangs around with are “weirdos” because they like the smell of his perfume. I know which one of those comment I find the weirdest !
I remember when I was first getting into fragrances, CdNIM was just becoming popular and I was like SWEET, I'll be able to see what Aventus smells like without going poor. Man, when I got that opening I was convinced the 500 trillion people who loved Aventus were absolutely insane. Ah, the naivete 😂
I would not recommend perfumes in nature. Bees ,wasps,hornets would be attracted to it. I work with pests so unfortunately i am speaking from experience. @@livinglife3230
I got sold on on Explorer when i smelled it on someone thinking it was aventus and they told me it was Mont Blanc. Classy smooth not overpowering or obnoxious and doesn't break the bank. 👍
An overbearing opening of lemon isn’t even close to describing club de nuit. It’s EXTREMELY musky in the opening instead and just nasty. The dry down is definitely really nice though, so it may be worth it for some. However not everyone has the time to wait around for it to dry before heading out. I also noticed club de nuit lasts just a bit longer than explorer, although explorer overall smells the closest to aventus. The performance just isn’t very great. It’s mid sadly, but def smells like better quality/put together better like you mentioned.
I live where it's hot all year round, so the Explorer gets the most wear. Because Explorer is very easy to wear and versatile for all occasions. CDNIM EDT is indeed versatile too, but in some places it becomes cloying. CDNIM EDT is even more on your face compared to CDNIM EDP. If this comparison includes CDNIM EDP, it is clear to me that CDNIM EDP is the winner.
I wear Chanel de Blue parfum, spicebomb extreme, Dior Savage etc and rarely get complimented.But whenever I wear CDNIM l always get compliments....so l love this aftershave❤
While I don't find women care for Aventis DNA nearly as much as men do, I much prefer Monte Blanc. MB is one of my daily favs. It's much brighter, interesting , fresher and citrusy. I find the CDNIM is flat and just settles into that.....well "old box" scent that's in the DNA quickly. I love the MB and rarely reach for the CDNIM. The wife says....."meh.....it's ok".
@@brianbdawg3059 I haven't found that. Most "on the street" comparisons don't support it either. Women typically tell me " it's ok". Honestly I have received more random compliments wearing Dylan Blue or even $20 Nautica Voyage. The most consistent compliment getting I've ever worn ( near 100%) was Santa Fe....a drug store cologne that's sadly no longer made.
To me, these two fragrances are very different from each other. And while CDNIM isn't 1:1 to the OG in the opening, its drydown is very close. But Explorer's drydown is actually closer to that of Dior Sauvage than to Aventus.
Yo you get it! Explorer reminds me so much of sauvage and I don’t see the Aventus connection at all. I still rock explorer and its gotten me compliments, I just get bored wearing it. I do layer it with BDC from time to time and when I get the ratios right it smells amazing
Pricewise, I went with Zara's Vibrant Leather Oud. It's a very popular take on Aventus. Smells great and no complaints. Get it on sale and it is a bargain!
Ehh, if you take the pure parfum vs explorer i would take the pure parfum. The edt is too abrasive. Explorer doesnt perform on my skin, for some reason
Club de Nuit Intense Man is "A dark, woody, and bold, with a sharp citrus twist that pierces through the night, embodying the mystique and power of a shadowed vigilante"
I have not watched it yet but I am going to bet on Explorer to win. I will say that cause ATH did a similar video and that's the one he went. Now on to the video 😅
@@miguelcardenas2413because aventus isnt what it used to be..you do realize these clone houses clone vintage batches of aventus right? not the current watered down versions with even higher prices 😂
@aNsWeRkEy02 you could almost say now the new clones are cloning the older clones cause new batches of Greed Aventus is worse than the cheap clones... 😅
