I did film Aventus vs CDNIM but didn't post it yet. My Aventus batch was really not performing at all, and I mean at all. Was just bad, so in my case CDNIM is better than Aventus.
Good to have you back Lex. I review this last year and I'll tell you I get more compliments from this than any other fragrance I own. It's a true gem. I even brought a second bottle. But great to see you reviewing again my friend.
Good to see a new video from you bro, I've literally been rewatching all your reviews again since like 2 weeks back once I noticed you'd brought all your stuff back. top man
Good shit. I just tell people that this is Aventus when I'm wearing it (and people ask me what I'm wearing when I spray this all the time). I like the thought of people possibly spending $300 on Aventus because of my $20 amazing clone.
Yes, Club De Nuit Intense Man smells 90+% like the fruity batches of Aventus. It is a great performer and I get the same longevity. It was like $20 in the US. Great review Lex!
Wore Insurrection Pure 2 yesterday! Club De Nuit Intense smells the best out of all the Aventus clones. My son wore this one day and it projected and lasted all day for him. Great Cheapie
My man, so happy to see u back on my devices. U inspired me so much that now i have my own fragrance review channel. Dont worry, no competition, my channel is in portuguese . go get them, Lex!!!
Wow lex it took you this long to finally get this scent? I knew you were gonna get it, you're not one of those niche snobs who thinks they have the best collection
You're a natural my friend! Genuine and truly funny! You had me in stitches the entire video! I've got a bottle of this on the way. I debated, as I'm sort of a fussy bugger, but for the price and with your approval - can't go wrong. Cheers!
I just ordered a second bottle. sprayed a tester card in john lewis of creed aventus and then my club de nuit intense man. guess what after 8 hours I could smell the club de nuit more than aventus. fucking brilliant perfume. great to have you back buddy
Great to see you back man. You can get that frag from BeautyBase from the UK for £30, you can find it in the stores along with Insurrection Pure 2 for £24. I much prefer Club De Nuit Intense Man over Insurrection Pure 2.
I like the scent so much after buying one I bought another 3 as back-up and maybe give away as a gift. I have the 2013 120mL bottle of Aventus (85%full) and l'aventure by Al Haramain it smells like a fruitier batch of Aventus, while CDNIM on the dry-down smells similar to a smokier batch of Aventus. Nonetheless, you won't be disappointed with either (clones) because they're both extremely affordable.
😃😃😃 This dude will kill me 😃😃😃😃 First, I love the Scottish accent as a former student in Edinburgh. And I am just crazy about Armaf CDNI. Still waiting to get it though three weeks after ordering it. Thumbs for the goddamn hilarious review.
Oh and Lex. Not sure if you are a green irish tweed fan. But I also just got a bottle of tres nuit and it is 100% exact replica of GIT. Its not like a cool water or Aspen. It is seriously just like GIT
I just got this a couple weeks ago and I was surprised as well. It even seems to mix with your skin chemistry similar to aventus. The best thing about CDNI is you could wear it everyday day if you wanted to.
LEX!!!! I finally picked up a bottle. I am sooooo impressed. This is what I hoped my $300 bottle of Aventus would smell like when I first unboxed it. Its almost identical except this has the bright pineapple. apple/lemon whatever you call it vibe that my batch of aventus lacked. My batch of aventus was an infamous 2010 batch that was patchouli and smoke laden. The club de nuit on the other hand smells to me how I imagine the fruitier batches to smell. Cant go wrong here . 25 bucks!!
Been using Armaf CDNIM for the past 2 months and its smokey dry down is just gorgeous. I also have Lattafa's, Al Dur All Maknoon, which is the fruity version of Aventus and the smell is so fresh, airy and invigorating. I usually go for extra sprays as the weather here is generally hot and humid. Both are 95% close to it's original and are well deserved alternatives which I bought for $30 (CDNIM) and $22 (ADAM) here in Singapore. They're great!

Really enjoyed the vid. Just wondering. Have you ever tried La'Venture or something like that? I'm wondering because I have a bottle of ARMAF CdN Intense Man, but haven't ever tried La'Venture and heard that was a really good Aventus clone. Cheers.
Good to see you back, and I agree with you about performance if fucking pisses me off. I don't think fragrances perform enough generally, it's like the girl has to be on top you in the first place to smell it.
Mr Luthor Back and kickin goddamn arse!! Lmfao from start through till the end!! This is good shit, i got 2 bottles back in may for £50 off ebay, i took 1 on holiday and used the whole thing in just 2 weeks!! I couldn't believe it when it ran out, thought the atomiser had knackered on me so I scratched the paint off on the side of the bottle and the thing was empty, i was using it every day at the beach or pool and at night used something else, the performance is ok on me, for the price, lasts about 6 hours max on hot days.
Thanks for the review. I purchased this fragrance 4 month ago, and expected to use it a lot. However, it doesn't last on my skin more than 2-3 hours, and also the oppening (especially pineapple) is so harsh. But it is my taste and the longevity can be different for different people.
So the is the moment where the Hater Army failed to hold the line... This is where Lex Ellis returns! Oh well, we lost a battle here. Taking a smoke break from hating: great video mate. Love your humour and your passion!
I got it on Amazon for just shy of £30 Lex - but my word is it strong. I need to apply less next time - people at work could smell it everywhere in the office all day! Blimey!! Good stuff tho
It's not letting me reply to the actual comment but the creeds at Cardiff city centre t k max are: Himalaya 120ml: £149.99 Royal water 120ml: £149.99 Millesime imperial 120ml: £149.99 Some tell me the prices are not that good. I'm just reporting what I see.
Good to see you my friend. I had one dude on a fragrance group who wondered why we didn't have cut price Creed shops. I saw two creeds in the local t k Maxx here and this dude was on about how in America there's these cut price creed shops where you get great deals. There's one shop in my city which sells a few creeds and that's it. Mind you, t k Maxx was good to me this week as managed to get allure Homme edition Blanche. Will check out club de nuit intense man. I have wanted it but the hype shifted the prices up a bit.
Bottle i bought from amazon a few months ago doesnt last at all and projects about a couple inches off skin, other reviewers on amazon mentioned similar performance. Maybe they snuck in a reformulation?
Did you all think this fucker would be gone? Hehehe my man! Keep them coming. Not everybody knows but you went to another dimension where IFRA does not exist. U came back with gems and you will review them soon!
It was terrible, there were Pac-Man ghosts, guys from Castlevania, big boobed women with CENSORED logos on them I'm telling you! Dimension XXX isn't all it's hyped up to be!
I have both L'Aventure and CDNIM... L'aventure does not perform nearly as well as CDNIM... CDNIM is smokier and L'Aventure is sweeter... L'aventure does not last or project as well so once I have used up the bottle of that it will only be CDNIM from then on
What the hell is with the dislikes? Kunts. Only seen a few of your reviews but super funny. Good review, and this fragrance has one of the best drydowns I've ever smelled.
Hey man I've not! :( only got the UAE one, I've heard mixed things? some say UAE is longer lasting, some say French one is etc, but I'd like to get a French one and compare! Also LOVE your channel! and subbed! :)
I pulled the trigger and should have some by next week, i hope it's better than Zara's Vibrant Leather cos that's weak as fuck on my skin. Really enjoy Aventus but the price is a killer.
Great review and totally agree with your take on the scent. It seems like Creed Aventus will perpetually be cloned. I suppose there is yet another one that came out after this that is even closer to the glory that is AVENTUS!!! Whatever the fuck. This does it for me after the initial 2 minutes of somewhat oddness. I know your not into all the mushy emotional stuff so all I will say is glad you are back doing what you should be doing.
Mate, good to see ya doin your thing, hilarious as usual. I waited to get my CDNIM for ages from amazon too, got it for £29 I think, I get beast mode from it myself..but guess what, Zara..yes Zara, have made a bloody good Aventus clone...just bought it in store at weekend, does the pineapple brilliantly...It called Zara 'Vibrant Leather' cost £19.99 for 100ml. Honestly worth a look mate. Like I have said before, retail scents get no reviews in the 'frag youtubesphere' but some are true gems.
+Marty Drury it REALLY is brilliant...Zara Liverpool have it...can't see it online though...you should also try their Zara black tag fragrances, awesome
Man. I miss your fragrance reviews! There just isnt enough honest and straight to the point fragrance reviewers left out there. Most of them you suspect to be paid to just say nice things about shitty fragrances. With you on the other hand - NEVER EVER a fragrance review that wasnt more or less right on point!
On me this is really mild. Nice smell though. Maybe even sporty, wtf? No idea about the longevity because can't smell it after spraying. Possibly blew my nostrils out. Well, after that the brains can go. Can wear this anywhere anywhen.
hey lex try mixing this with al haramain l'aventure 40/60 🔥🔥🔥🔥(takes the harshness from the cdni on the opening ) I have aventus too this mix is the closest I have to aventus
I've got l aventure. while it smells great it doesn't fucking last . I swear I put on 25 sprays 3 hours later goes weak . I will stick with mancera cedrat boise.
Nice video man Im rambley like you too and talk a lot I guess LOL!!!!!!! Yep. many scents fragrances are bad or at most average performance or so... but good smell. etc
