5. LE Parfum 4. Untold 3. Urban Man Elixir 2. Milestone 1. Sillage I'm glad the LE Parfum exists for people who can't afford Aventus, but it's not what I'm reaching for all the time. Untold is just awesome for what it is, even if I don't want to wear BR 540 all the time. Urban Man Elixir is just nice for those days when I want Prada Carbon but maybe with a twist. HOWEVER! Milestone and Sillage are on another level as far as I'm concerned. Those two are tremendous and I'd wear them every day if I had to without complaint. They're virtually tied, but I like Sillage just a tiny bit more. If I had to keep one and throw the rest away, I wouldn't hesitate to keep Sillage.
CDNIM LE is certified beast mode, no bones about it. Even though I only get faint whiffs of it throughout the day after 3 sprays at 6.30 in the morning, I often get customers and contractor's in work towards the end of the day asking 'what is that amazing smell' When it's a woman, the answer is Creed Aventus. When it's a dude, I open up Fragrantica and show the chaps the truth.
I purchased Iconic about 2 months ago, at first I hated how synthetic the opening was but now I really do appreciate how spot on the dry down is to BDC.
Milestone was my most worn fragrance last summer. Refreshing & musky. Great for Nyc humidity. Untold is slowly growing on me. Limited edition is just 🔥
I know what's the batch code. Because I just purchased a bottle of iconic and is weak is not strong. I have reapply barely smell it. Has it been reformulated.@@somerandxmdude
I was at Home Depot, little old guy walks in. He had so many girls complimenting him. I had to go see what the big buzz was... I got close, and he smiled. I was in shock. Normally I wouldn't ask any guy what cologne he is using. I figured I never see him again. He showed me the bottle, I took a picture and the rest is history...
Just got my hands on the limited edition and I have to say at first I was not too keen of it but after time passed and after a couple sprays oh my I just love it haha 🙌🏽👍🏽
Sillage has gotten me more compliments than any other fragrance in my collection. Maybe it bounces off my skin a little better. But when I tell you EVERYTIME I wear it I get compliments. Just last weekend my Uber driver as soon as I left the house and a chick at the bar.
I agree ...having smelt most of them the LE is just in its own league...the most complimented and beast of a fragrance which seems to improve and pleasantly linger around
I picked up limited edition off hype from this channel and others once Ash hyped it. I honestly don't really think its all that great. Arron Terrence hughes reviewed it and hit it on the head. Its really base note heavy, sits close and doesn't project, lasts a while but again doesn't push off the skin. I wish I would have either saved the $70 or put it toward a better fragrance. The creed millesime imperial clone in this line is great and once it sits for a few weeks is a summer banger. You win some and lose some.
3 out 5!!! Definitely looking for the Limited Edition.. really hard to find.!! Iconic and Untold are at another level!! Definitely agree with your top 5 choices!! Great review
Alharamain or Alhambra next??Got my L'aventure Knight yesterday and wearing as we speak.Longer i wear it more i love it.31 degrees and snowy here in Metro Detroit and performing great.Still smelling it at noon and i sprayed 8 hrs ago
People knock the CDNIM Edt but it's my most complimented fragrance. It just works so I have no complaints. Even the opening doesn't bother me. My personal favorite is Sillage and Milestone is just a high heat winner.
Same bro. CDNIM gets me more compliments than aventus. I dont mind the opening at all and that dry down is almost identical to aventus (only lasts longer and projects more)
I got my fiancé Untold but for some reason she still prefers the ALT clone. I think Untold smells great personally. I used to own a decant of br540 but I might start wearing untold myself honestly
@@mohammaddalloul9891 I have at least 8 ALT fragrances and love all of them both scent and performance wise! They also have an incredible return policy!!!
@@nation3598 Crystal something. It’s at the top of their fragrance list. If you’re male I recommend CDN Untold instead because it’s a more masculine take on BR540.
I think you mean your fiancée lol I’ve noticed Untold smells like a slightly more masculine BR540 that’s probably why she doesn’t like it as much as the ALT. ALT smells very feminine to me.
I just bought Milestone and Intense based on your review and both are amazing. If you live in Dublin get these in Dubai perfume shop going to get Silage next
Dope list. My most compliments come in this order from cdn. 1. Sillage 2. Untold 3. intense man edp 4. Urban elixir 5. milestone Ps. Number 5 gives me a ton of compliments so imagine what number 1 gives
Pure parfum IS the same juice as limited edition. Got samples and tried side by side about 10 times. People online confirmed it too, even claiming armaf confirmed by email. Smell is the same, performance is the same. In reality, tho, they smell more like cdnim than aventus, if it makes sense. I got the PP because of the price and because after 4-5h, even smelled up close, is indistinguishable from aventus. I was getting wiffs of aventus from a cuff of a jacket 2 weeks later after testing PP and rubbing onto it and that sealed the deal for me. I had aventus as a signature for 7 years or so, with almost daily wears. The first (3-5)hours, tho, they still smell like that cdnim. It's sad they can't get rid of that synthetic mess of an opening... IMO, milestone is a better MI than cdnim is aventus.
I have 4 out of the 5 and so far I really like how the iconic smells but it isn't beating the CDNIM Limited Edition. Mixed with Lataffa Qaed Al Fursan the extra pineapple note just shines.
Here is my ranking of the ones I have: #1 Milestone (smells beyond amazing) #2 Intense Man Limited Edition Parfum-I smell myself constantly when I wesr this-but it’s more for night, too strong for work #3 Club De Nuit Woman-I am male and I wear this cause it’s so fresh-very similar to Coco Mademoiselle #4 Sillage-doesn’t have a unique scent like the others and too strong #5-Tres Nuit-very basic and just smells like Cool Water! I had Cool Water in high school.
I’ve never smelled BR540 but I got untold from Fragrancebuy for $40 so I figured why not…and to me it has Oud For Greatness vibes big time. I’m guessing it’s the saffron.?? Also, Ariana’s cloud has been compared to BR 540 which my daughter has and Cloud is NOTHING like Untold so I am confusion 🙃🤔 Cloud is extremely super sweet cotton candy
I have Untold and I don’t think it’s a clone of BR540. It only has that BR540 hint in the base note. But it smells like Oud for Greatness mixed with Mancera instant crush. Also has a burnt tyre smell
The parfum is longer lasting and the sillage is just amazing , compliment galore, eau the parfum is not as longer lasting as the parfum edition, I have both
Does CDNIM LE actually have ambroxan? I got mine in late dec 2022 and I genuinely cannot pick up an ambroxan note in it, and my nose generally dislikes ambroxan.
Cdnim have had 10 bottles , now I’ve tried cdim ltd edt a lot smoother , also got milestone very nice lavender scent just got untold what a performer lasted 8 hrs on skin , may try silage next
I would have liked to hear Blue Iconic campaired to the original Armaf Clone of Bleu Tag Him. I really like Tag Him once it dries down and almost prefer it to the Bleu De Chanel I currently have, especially since the 3 year old bottle is almost empty
Unfortunately every Armaf I've picked up has something in their mix that causes my skin to breakout. I'm sure it's just an unfortunate issue with my sensitive skin but it still forces me to only spray any Armaf on my clothes.
@GentsScents love your reviews! Naz hidden gems reviewed Hamidi Addicted Intense by makers of ARMAF as beast mode better than CDNIM. Please review this and what’s your take is addicted intense the best Aventus dupe now on the market? Also please review Hamidi Maison Elixir and Hamidi Fusion Amity. Thank you!!
I got Untold but I only smell alcohol, I have read on fragrantica that I am not the only one. I got it from the same store that I had previously bought CDNIM parfum and it was great so I kinda trust them.
I’m sorry but Untold does not smell like Alcohol. In fact it smells like there’s no alcohol in it at all. It has a strong rubber/latex smell and lasts for hours but doesn’t project. You got a fake one.
Which would be the closest Adventus clone from Armaf? I’ve got the limited edition but (to me anyway!) it smells exactly the same as my MB Explorer. I think there’s 5 versions of the CDNIM which are all similar available now! Which is the one to get?
Hey you have the same intense man limited edition "eau de parfum" as me. do you also have(or have sampled) the limited edition "parfum"? i wasnt sure if those 2 are same (having misprinted the concentration) or different.
Agreed get wifey back on more shows all the stuff she picks is gold I'm telling your fans women have done some odd things when I wear her favorite suggestions depending on the line up thank you by the way oh and her girl friend is on point to with suggestions
i loved untold at first sniff and now i despise it haha i went back to BR 540. It has a strange off putting note that i can only describe as if the le labo dna was done poorly. no clue what it is but i can't stand it anymore. 🤷♂️🤷♂️🤷♂️ armaf milestone, however, smells better than the current batches of Creed MI!!
True. Untold has a chemical/rubber note that is off putting and never goes away. It lasts for hours but doesn’t project and it’s not a compliment getter. I actually hate it now
You're absolutely correct, because no one mention anything about the longevity and performance and all what they care about is the smell and how close the clones to the real one 🖐🖐🖐🖐🖐
Is the limited edition available in Parfum or edp, cuase the Parfum limited edition is all i can find if so is there any major difference or is it better that the limited edition edp?
Armaf and Lattafa are really bringing the heat to niche houses. These guys gotta rethink what they’re charging people. Mainly Creed, since they’ve gone corporate.
It would be great if someone with influence could tell the company that a clone of Chanel Anthaeus would be wonderful, it's been impossible to find anything similar.
Milestone is not as vibrant & clean as the original 2006 Unforgivable made by the Sean John Fragrances Dist (made by Estee Lauder), which are still around. Having said that it is better than the later versions (2015/16 ish) made by Jacavi & Parlux / Jacavi Beauty Group, Miami FL as the distributor. You have to look at the bottom of your bottle to see which you have. I have them both, enjoy Milestone - but just keeping it real.
@@dadekusumo1 it's on par with others, longevity can be skin dependent so i don't want to be specific because i don't want to be responsible for someones potential disappointment. On my skin it projects well and lasts 8+ hours. Also, getting 200ml of pretty much same fragrance for 60$ is better than spending 70+ for 105ml LE...
I once blind bought cdnim edt. And shortly after tried limited edition. Best blind buys of my life. I let my uncle try it. He is a taxi driver and stated its a dangerous fragrance. Too many women enquiring. Fast forward 6 months and this guy has 4 additional armaf fragrances in his closet 😂
I really wish they would have just came up with a more unique name when it comes to the Urban Man Elixr, why name it so close if they are completely different frags?
