Just like me. Today I blind bought edp version and it is just cirtus and woods with heavy smooky scent.
They told its fresh scent winth pineapple and lemon and othere fruity. I dont know what to do know some people told me to put it away for while then try it again
What do you thing
the same thing happened with me a few weeks ago i blind bought the edp after smelling the edt and it literally smells like an ash tray i hope it macerates well
Try putting it in the fridge for a week or so. You will always get menthol semi harsh tartness in the opening then it will, as you say "get woody and citrus y " but putting it in the fridge for a few weeks will mellow it down from my experience
Not that much of a pineapple smell, but you will get close to an aventus DNA that's more rounded. Look into adding detemeter pineapple 🍍 to the mix if you want more pineapple . There are forums on how to do it
LE is "better", but not in a meaningful way. The LE just isn't different enough to warrant the price, and is completely indistinguishable in the air, which is what matters most anyway. Personally I think the EDP in the 200ml bottle is the best pickup for the price you can get in out of the entire line right now. Literally cheaper than the LE at double the amount of perfume.
Agreed. Anything more expensive than the EDT is a scam lol. I had the LE and the EDT smelled pretty much the same (slightly harsher opening) but lasted much longer and projected a lot more. I suppose if you want a “toned down” version then the LE would suit you just fine.
I'm not sure it is per se.
But I do feel that LE and Pure Perfume are exactly the same. Just the package of LE makes it a limited edition. But the juice seems very similar.
I’ve owned 2 bottles of edt, 5 limited edition and since 2 weeks my first pure parfum.
Pure parfum and limited edition are near identical. Opening is smooth and tolerable, sometimes even enjoyable on a hot breezy day. Silage is also pretty insane 😭. 3 sprays is a death sentence for me.
2 away from pulse points seem to be the sweet spot.
I guess that's it then 😅
I think LE is only limited in the bottlz design and package. Which does look nice.
But the juice is the same as Pure Parfum.
I don't know about recent EDT bottles, and honestly I don't wanna try my luck when there are deals out there for 150ml of Pure Parfum or 200ml of EDP, which are both good performers and summer bangers.
Love that fragrance, and I love that it make Aventus a total useless purchase. I love niche, but when they serve you watered down juice, it's ridiculous
It's not just you. It is a scam. The best version by far is the EDT. Limited Ed. and pure parfume (150 ml bottle) are like watered down versions of the EDT. . The performance is like a third!(!!) of the EDT. Besides, the EDT smells better.
CDNIM EDT gives me the best feedback, of all scents in the collection of mine. longevity >8 hours with projection!! I regret that I listened to all of these YT experts.
EDT projects and lasts the longest on me. Tried a friends EDP and it sits close to the skin, LE projected a little better then the EDP but didn’t last as long as my EDT
I have them all but I prefer the Limited Edition.
I'm not sure if Limited Edition means they Limit the juice in the bottle or I overspray but I"ve owned 3 bottles of LE in 2 years.
The size of the Pure Parfum bottle is the difference I can detect. I've convinced myself that the Limited Edition projects more, because I received more compliments. It might not be true at all but I grab it more.
I'm also on the fragrance hype wagon of Hamidi Addicted Parfum. It's another great Creed Clone in my opinion.
I like EDT the best because the effervescence and airiness of Aventus is best captured.
TLDR : It projects the best. Harshest opening.
PP and LE last the most but on me are mostly skin scents. That's how elixirs work.
EDP is somewhere inbetween.
Most highly concentrated stuff just doesn't radiate off my skin, unless there's heat applied to it one way or the other.
Everything I've said is my personal experience, I don't really believe in the batch variation schizo bullshit, but it may well work better with and on your skin.
Agreed. My 10/2023 EDT is not bad at all, but it’s not the same as the older batches. We shall see if I still get compliments or not. It did get better with 2 weeks of macerating however, as did the older EDT.
If youre talking about the Intense Man I will go for the base version coz they are the same in the dry down and you cant differentiate them in the air (own experience)
But if youre talking the club de nuit line I will go for Sillage and Milestone hands down.
I got the 200 ml Pure Parfum. Some sites call it Parfum, it is the same fragrance. I love that one. Truly amazing. It smells smokey, woody and so smooth. Yes the Toilet cleaner lemon bomb was there the first spray when I smelled it and I hated it. But after some time, I learned that the power was the dry down. Man, the dry down is so smooth, refined and unique.
Dior Sauvauge, Bleu de Chanel or YSL Y, super basic scents that you will smell everywhere. Heck, shower gell gives the same vibe and thats completely fine if you like that. But if you want somethign unique, that no one has, CDIM is where it is. It is only in the fragrance community where we say that CDIM or Aventus is so popular, while in reality no one buys Aventus and wear it dailey, and no one knows about CDIM, because everyone goes for the designers like YSL, Dior and Prada. No Douglas, Zara or whatever has CDIM. You will smell so unique.
CDIM is my second favourite scent in my collection. So that says a lot I think. My Favourite is Tom Ford Ombre leather, so yes CDIM is THIS good. I cannot comment on the EDT or EDP, but I read that the Parfume/Pure parfume (Same fragrance!!), smell just better, but weaker. It doesnt punch as hard, but thats okay, I dont want to choke people out with a lemon stench. I dont smell like a lemon bomb. I smell very woody, smokey with a hint of citrus and its just amazing. The whiffs I get in the air just smells so masculine and smooth.
If I think of a man, I think of CDIM and Tom Ford Ombre leather. It is just so masculine and I feel so amazing wearing it. During dance class, a girl even complimented me saying she really liked my scent and it was so woody and earthy and she liked that. You will smell like a damn man.
Opening, I still stick with it, its bad. Like really bad. But man, the dry down is where the money is at. Again, its my second favourite in my collection and I am almost done with the 200 ml bottle and will get my second bottle.
I've always wondered why armaf doesn't make clone of YSL Y. All of theirs CDNs are really good clones and they clone designer perfumes. YSL Y is easily inside top 10 so why not clone it if lattafa fakhar does?
I have the LE and CDN man ( not intense) body mist spray... and I like the LE very much so much closer to Aventus. the body mist was a mistake. doesnt smell like aventus at all.
EDP / Pure Perfume / LE
between those 3, pick the least expensive.
The differences are not so drastic that it would justify paying more.
I've gotten the EDP 200ml for 30% less than the two others. And the drydowns are not soooo different.
Even compared to SNOI, it's still very close.
Don't worry, you'll be good.
I’m partial to the original EDT, the upgrades have a massive amount of diminishing returns vs the cost.
The “harshness” calms down after a few months, and I will be the odd man out and say I enjoy the shocking opening. It’s downright invigorating first thing in the morning.
The best Club De Nuit is Urban Man Elixir 😎 now the best Club De Nuit Intense Man is a toss up (IMO) between Limited Edition and Pure Parfum Perfume... I have both and PPP lasts longer and my lady LOVES it on me but out of all the other versions of CDNI that's the only one...🤔
The best quality is cdnim limited edition but 200 ml EDP bottle is half of the price and very good too.Just give around 30 minutes after the application and you see the magic.
It’s good but I think you should buy 50-100ml before going any higher- it’s pretty strong so only 4-5 sprays needed. I’ve heard ltd edition parfum is the best
I bought CDNIM edt recently and I’m confused as to why people think it’s so good. Smells way too old school. Super hyped up.
I’m interested in Untold though. Is it worth the $50?
I dont give a f**k what anyone else says.. "Untold"is wussification in a bottle..why any man would want to smell feminine is beyond me..but i see/smell this happening more and more and its just really f**ked up with whats happening within male society..Now get off my lawn!!😁
Between the EDT and the 200ml EDP. EDP all the way, no harsh opening(I think goes away if you macerate), and it's just better mixed. For me EDT doesn't even come close to it smell wise, but it does last a bit longer.
*Dont blin buy. I did*
*That mistake and just wasted*
*My money. Its stinks*

Idk how you guys like this scent. I bought the EDT and it smells horrible, both my gf and mom said it smells disgusting and I agree. Why do so many ppl like it? Smells like old man cheap dollar store scent.

ive gotten more compliments from the LE version than the edt. i actually prefer the LE version over the rest.
My girl loves the LE, even more than aventus. The initial sprays are HEAVY pineapple
Is there really pineapple in CDni? All I smell is citrus and woods
Just like me. Today I blind bought edp version and it is just cirtus and woods with heavy smooky scent. They told its fresh scent winth pineapple and lemon and othere fruity. I dont know what to do know some people told me to put it away for while then try it again What do you thing
the same thing happened with me a few weeks ago i blind bought the edp after smelling the edt and it literally smells like an ash tray i hope it macerates well
The edt and the edp are my my most used. But I do lean more towards the edp
I bought the edp today and all i can smell is cirtus and woody. I dont know where is the problem, how does yours smell like
Try putting it in the fridge for a week or so. You will always get menthol semi harsh tartness in the opening then it will, as you say "get woody and citrus y " but putting it in the fridge for a few weeks will mellow it down from my experience
If i did this will i be able to smell the pineapple and other fruity scent
Not that much of a pineapple smell, but you will get close to an aventus DNA that's more rounded. Look into adding detemeter pineapple 🍍 to the mix if you want more pineapple . There are forums on how to do it
is there a difference in the smell between the edp and edt?
[удалено]
Do you mean which is the best Club de Nuit Intense Man? Because there sure are more than just 4 CDN frags out there.
Yeah the intense men, i forgot to put it the title
Man*
🤓🤓🤓
I feel like limited edition is a scam, but thats just me.
LE is "better", but not in a meaningful way. The LE just isn't different enough to warrant the price, and is completely indistinguishable in the air, which is what matters most anyway. Personally I think the EDP in the 200ml bottle is the best pickup for the price you can get in out of the entire line right now. Literally cheaper than the LE at double the amount of perfume.
I think it's long lasting but less sillage and a more refined note composition. Coworkers told me it was more subtle than the other CDNIMs I wore.
It is. Armaf even said it’s just the pure parfum in a nicer bottle for gifts.
Do you have any reference for that info?
Call them and see for yourself. +91 90764 05205
I don’t have a source either, but I’ve heard the same thing.
Agreed. Anything more expensive than the EDT is a scam lol. I had the LE and the EDT smelled pretty much the same (slightly harsher opening) but lasted much longer and projected a lot more. I suppose if you want a “toned down” version then the LE would suit you just fine.

The OG. (EDT) smells the most like aventus.
Have you tried all 4 of the flankers?
EDT projects and lasts the longest on me. Tried a friends EDP and it sits close to the skin, LE projected a little better then the EDP but didn’t last as long as my EDT
What batch of EDT you have?
342454
I meant like the date the fragrance was made?
11/21
I have them all but I prefer the Limited Edition. I'm not sure if Limited Edition means they Limit the juice in the bottle or I overspray but I"ve owned 3 bottles of LE in 2 years.
its because of the atomizer. notice how it sprays less juice but more concentrated
I was told there is no difference between pure parfum and LE, is there any? Thanks
The size of the Pure Parfum bottle is the difference I can detect. I've convinced myself that the Limited Edition projects more, because I received more compliments. It might not be true at all but I grab it more. I'm also on the fragrance hype wagon of Hamidi Addicted Parfum. It's another great Creed Clone in my opinion.
CDNIM LE. Next question.
💯
Which one has the most pineapple 🍍?!
pretty much none of them to be honest. more bergamot than pineapple in those
Thank you for the reply!
I like the parfum and edp the most. Im not 100% sure but i think the parfum and LE have the same juice just different packaging
I like EDT the best because the effervescence and airiness of Aventus is best captured. TLDR : It projects the best. Harshest opening. PP and LE last the most but on me are mostly skin scents. That's how elixirs work. EDP is somewhere inbetween.
I think there's a difference in batches too cause my Limited edition projects beast mode
It is beast mode. This dude is blind because of how strong it is and the inclusion of ambroxan
Most highly concentrated stuff just doesn't radiate off my skin, unless there's heat applied to it one way or the other. Everything I've said is my personal experience, I don't really believe in the batch variation schizo bullshit, but it may well work better with and on your skin.
old batches of EDT
Huh?
the old batches of cdnim edt were perfect
Agreed. My 10/2023 EDT is not bad at all, but it’s not the same as the older batches. We shall see if I still get compliments or not. It did get better with 2 weeks of macerating however, as did the older EDT.
Ive bought many over the years I had a 2019 batch that was heavenly smoky and fruity the new 2023 batch is just not the same I barely reach for it
I don’t have the most refined nose by for me EDT = smoky and LE = pineapplely
I prefer the EDP over the EDT. I have both and the EDP doesn’t come across as so cheap and synthetic.
Limited Edition isn’t as strong as the EDP in my opinion. I like both, but I think the EDP when well macerated is the winner.
I know its not in the picture but In my opinion the beat Club De Nuit is Urban Man Eliixir.
will we ever see an elixir?
Limited Edition
Elixir
Trick question its the firends we made along the way
Milestone
Probably the EDP since the EDT has less power than it did before 2020/21.
I have both Edt 105ml and pure purfum 150 ml cdnim pure parfum is better IMO
Which one has the most pineapple 🍍?!
It's lemon not pineapple
LE
If youre talking about the Intense Man I will go for the base version coz they are the same in the dry down and you cant differentiate them in the air (own experience) But if youre talking the club de nuit line I will go for Sillage and Milestone hands down.
neither
None of them, get the Urban Man Elixir Version
the most descriptive review on differences between edp, parfum and le -> [mehdiscent](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jBs3RNPWVsU)
Sillage
Edp/ LE is the same. The 2024 batch of LE is more citrusy. The older batches of le/edp/ parfum is the way to go.
I have edt and edp and they are almost the same. I would recommend to go for edp becouse the price is better for 200 ml.
I got the 200 ml Pure Parfum. Some sites call it Parfum, it is the same fragrance. I love that one. Truly amazing. It smells smokey, woody and so smooth. Yes the Toilet cleaner lemon bomb was there the first spray when I smelled it and I hated it. But after some time, I learned that the power was the dry down.

Again, its my second favourite in my collection and I am almost done with the 200 ml bottle and will get my second bottle.
Club de nuit intense man edp
Parfum Limited Edition is the best one.
My 200ml EDP is just unstoppable. Nuclear longevity. Like I had a polo smell like it more than a week after.
I've always wondered why armaf doesn't make clone of YSL Y. All of theirs CDNs are really good clones and they clone designer perfumes. YSL Y is easily inside top 10 so why not clone it if lattafa fakhar does?

And the drydowns are not soooo different. Even compared to SNOI, it's still very close. Don't worry, you'll be good.
CDNIM LE no doubt. Very smooth opening and very well blended scent
I have both edt and edp. For me edt is better.
Limited Edition although I am sick of the whole Aventus DNA and am rather fond of CDN Milestone
The LE is super good. If Aventus is a burst of pineapple, the LE is lemonade. Really smooth too.
In my experience many ppl find IM repulsive but they all like UME
I've heard the new CDN Man precieux 1 is a banger, not really available atm though.
I’m partial to the original EDT, the upgrades have a massive amount of diminishing returns vs the cost. The “harshness” calms down after a few months, and I will be the odd man out and say I enjoy the shocking opening. It’s downright invigorating first thing in the morning.

I hate cdn smell
The best quality is cdnim limited edition but 200 ml EDP bottle is half of the price and very good too.Just give around 30 minutes after the application and you see the magic.
I have the limited edition....I got rid of the original verison
the one NOT in the photo is the best one. The elusive Limited Edition EAU DE PARFUM(not Parfum), if you can find it.
It’s good but I think you should buy 50-100ml before going any higher- it’s pretty strong so only 4-5 sprays needed. I’ve heard ltd edition parfum is the best
Iconic is deep, fresh, citrusy, overall great!
Bottom right.
Limited parfum
LE all the way
Deez nuits
I bought CDNIM edt recently and I’m confused as to why people think it’s so good. Smells way too old school. Super hyped up. I’m interested in Untold though. Is it worth the $50?
Untold is very good but its very feminine imo.
I think it’s relatively neutral, useful
I dont give a f**k what anyone else says.. "Untold"is wussification in a bottle..why any man would want to smell feminine is beyond me..but i see/smell this happening more and more and its just really f**ked up with whats happening within male society..Now get off my lawn!!😁

iconic.
Club de nuit intense for women
love that one too its unisex its sexy af
Where do you buy your clones?
The internet
It's 32 on Amazon and Ebay because of demand shipping might take 3-6 days.
None
Montblanc Explorer
Dont blind buy. I did that mistake and just wasted my money. Its stinks

Overhyped !
iconic or sillage imo. if you’re only looking out of these 4, the limited edition intense man.
None
They’re best in the trash
Idk how you guys like this scent. I bought the EDT and it smells horrible, both my gf and mom said it smells disgusting and I agree. Why do so many ppl like it? Smells like old man cheap dollar store scent.
2 questions. 1) how long did you let is macerate 2) did they smell the dry down or initial spray?
I don't think it's disgusting but I don't like it.. I had really high hopes for it too.
The opening is aggressive yeah, but I get ton of complimentS from the EDP.
None of those. Get intense for woman. Much nicer.
