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 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.
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. 👍
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
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 don’t understand the Club De Nuit Intense Man EDT hype, every batch I have purchased has a horrible lemon toilet cleaner smell that doesn’t really fully go away. The LE Parfum version is better, but usually at least double the price. Montblanc Explorer is much better imo.
Its all about the smell in the air (not close to the skin) of the CDNIM dry down which has this cool smoky and fruity (Aventus) nuance that projects very well for hours. it is therefore much more detectable in the air than several other fragrances long after the initial spray. Therein lies the reason for the compliments it receives.
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 😂
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!
Explorer is alright it just dries down and smells like dryer sheets on top of aventus, which I do not like. It's a fuzzy, blurry version of the DNA. Club De Nuit is very intense in the opening, but the quality and scent profile is just better. Performance is beastmode off of me as well. The roughness of the dark notes mixed with fruity notes is a combination that I am addicted to at this point.
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❤
@@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.
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 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.
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
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.
Awesome timing, CDIM is my scent of the day EDT, love this one and I have 2 or 3 of every version. Just love throwing this on when running around town.
You have each version. Which is your favorite? I'd be cool spending an extra $30 or $40 for CDNIM LE, but would I be spending all that just for a better opening? Which would you recommend?
@Matthew-_ The dry downs on all of them are almost identical. It's getting there that is a small difference between them all. The T is a monster projector at first and very citrus-like. As you go up to the LE it's much more reserved and less loud. I love the T when I'm going out or when I work out, protection is great. It lasts about 6 hours on my skin, but I'm very heavy on the trigger. For $28 dollars the T is great. Save your money but only if you can get through the opening which I love. Some people can't. If you don't like loud, then get the Parfum ot the LE.
I have a theory that projection has a lot to do with compliment factor. They can smell it easier so you get more compliments. I have a hard time thinking side by side people think CDIM smells better.
I use Montblanc Explorer because it is not a clone of Creed Aventus, while Club de Nuit is a clone. Montblanc Explorer is still very similar in scent, but it is still an original fragrance that does its own thing.
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.
The reason people say CDNIM gets compliments is simply because everyone within 100 feet is forced to smell you. It makes it more likely that someone will occasionally like it and compliment even though 3 times as many people are probably offended by it but too nice to say anything.
Club de Nuit Intense Man has been my #1 complimented fragrance ever (130+ bottle collection) since it came out in 2015. The only other fragrance that is on par was my 2010 K batch Aventus...so that should tell you something about CdNiM. And I've gotten just as many compliments during the opening as the dry down...and I'm not a CdNiM opening fan.
Does your club de nuit intense man have a sharp lemon opening ? Kiosk at the mall was selling it and I tried the tester and it smelled amazing opening & dry down honestly like the best batch of creed Aventus I’ve ever smelt when I got home opened the brand new bottle sprayed it smells like lemon pledge cleaner! Did I get scammed?
I’ve got a few vintage aventus bottles. And club gets me compliments at work and running errands. 4 hr mark and magic happens turns into pineapple and woods
Great review! I haven't had the opportunity to test the CDNIM EDP yet. I have a sample of Explorer and really enjoy it! I also have a sample of Creed Aventus. Explorer like you mention is mixed well. If CDNIM EDP has any hint of "synthetic" like I am hearing, than it's not for me. I won't know know until I try it.
Yeah, I got the EDT when it was first released and man oh man I couldn't get past the opening. Limited Edition solved that issue for me. So much smoother!
Next stop 1 million. Come on folks! We need Ash to get to the same lvl as Jeremy. Then we can have fragrance Jesus vs Fragrance Satan... (just messing around Jeremy isn't that bad)
Ashton alerted me to CDNIM Limited Edition and I'm onto my 3rd bottle. Despite my huge collection of over 300 fragrances, it is my most complimented (especially from other men), and without doubt my most worn
Club de nuit limited edition smell completely different from the normal Version. The limited versions already blow's me away at the opening. But agter 2 hours the smell gets mind-blowing. But i have to say that the opening is not everyday equally amazing
I have both as well. Odd you pick up the smokiness more in Explorer...I just get lime and a kind of earthy wood. I like Explorer, but I have worn it as much as CDNI, and CDNI is the head turner and compliment puller. No one has ever mentioned Explorer when I've worn it.
Just ordered mine. I went with the OG instead of the new limited edition one but seems like people are happy with it. I can't see anything being more likable to me right now than Y which is my usual go to but I gotta see what all the hype is about
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!
So I recently started with a frag collection and ended up blind buying the following scents: 1. Lattafa Kamrah 2. Lattafa Asad 3. Lattafa Ameeer al oudh 4. Afnan 9pm 5. Mancera Cedrat Boise Intense 6. Mancera Instant Crush 7. Montale Arabians Tonka 8. Dior Homme Instense 9. Azzaro the most wanted I still want more fragrances for winter. I feel most of these are a bit sweet, and I was looking for something that stands out. I work from home, so I dont need an office frag. Could you suggest a couple of long-lasting frags?
I’m def in the Explorer camp. I had CDNIM and gave it to my dad. He doesn’t wear it. I have the Limited Edition and that’s better for sure. I like L’Aventure Intense over all of them.
If i had to choose between the two I would buy CDNIM EDT. The opening is not that bad as everyone is talking about. Plus it last forever and the drydown is amazing. I like CDNIM Pure Parfum overall. My #1 Creed Aventus dupe/clone would be Hamidi Addicted Intense!!!👍
CDNIM and Explorer smell quite different to me. I have never actually smelled Aventus, so can't comment. Explorer is the nicer scent for me and is one of my faves. CDNIM dries down to solid sandalwood, to me.
Nice review, but I like your shirt very much.,,, where can I order your t-shirt?,,, But my choices is Club De Nuit Intense Man, the projection is Monster.,,, Here in the Philippines CDNIM is much better than Explorer
The best way i can describe explorers opening is less pineapple and pepper than aventus, and almost a bit of a passion fruit vibe to me. The best i can describe it is sort of the way NOS energy drinks smell.
I own the original and these two and I dont know if this will help anybody but mont blanc explorer seems more sweet pineapplelly and cdni seems more creamy smooth and lasts longer way longer
Actually they're about the same price if you do the edp ..you can get the edt cheap but edp, parfum and special edition parfum are the same as explorer (100 ml) at your price point maybe even a tad more expensive. The only bottle I can find in edp concentration is the 6.8 which is twice the size of the 100ml explorer and they both go for about $60
Just gonna go ahead and say it. I like Explorer more than Aventus. The smokiness of Aventus makes it a two season fragrance for me. Explorer can be worn Spring, Fall, and Winter.
Explorer is the better frag but the performance and price of CDNIM overshadowed Mont Blanc. I like how CDNIM is more resinous and Smokey, maybe too much so. And Explorer hits a cleaner fresher take with a nice ambroxan dry down.
Ok im at a road block. What should i buy? Mancera Cedrat Boise Monte Blanc explorer Or Supremacy not only intense I want something loud and lasting but Not CDNIM
Supremacy not only intense! I dont know the first choice you listed but owning the other two id say Supremacy is better, much much much longer lasting, much stronger scent. Supremacy has a strong smell of blackcurrant or blackberry though.
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
I'm still waiting for The clone Houses to come out with the new absolute aventus, shouldn't be long now I probably give them two or three months they'll have a clone of it lol And because it was actually pretty warm today I decided to wear sunset swim which is a clone of afternoon swim by Louis Vuitton for my scent of the day, it's really great stuff
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 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 😅

For me explorer makes a great base layer spray. So much versatility in that regard
May I ask?…What do you spray over the top of Explorer ?
Sausage elixir under montblanc
Explorer ALL DAY

Terrence is the GOAT and knows the best for sure!
He said it was better than the Limited Edition CDNI...but Pineapple Vintage was the best dupe !!!

I absolutely love Explorer, however I started using it as my office scent daily and become nose blind to it pretty quickly. Anyone else feel that?
Same!!! Less than a month and it’s so frustrating because I really love Explorer!
Yes.
I love Explorer but it’s disappointing performance.
Perhaps that’s what it has most in common with Aventus

do more VS videos like this one, 3 ways to determine (your expert opinion, public and IA)
So I recently started with a frag collection and ended up blind buying the following scents:
1. Lattafa Kamrah
2. Lattafa Asad
3. Lattafa Ameeer al oudh
4. Afnan 9pm
5. Mancera Cedrat Boise Intense
6. Mancera Instant Crush
7. Montale Arabians Tonka
8. Dior Homme Instense
9. Azzaro the most wanted
I still want more fragrances for winter. I feel most of these are a bit sweet, and I was looking for something that stands out. I work from home, so I dont need an office frag. Could you suggest a couple of long-lasting frags?
Most of your collection can be use for winter season.
If you want something different and stands out s lot, try Mancera red tobacco
Givenchy Gentlemen Boisee

but suitable for fall and winter

CDNIM and Explorer smell quite different to me. I have never actually smelled Aventus, so can't comment. Explorer is the nicer scent for me and is one of my faves. CDNIM dries down to solid sandalwood, to me.
I layer both of them at a 2-1 ratio Club De Nuit 2, Explorer 1.
I found Explorer at a Burlington store for $30. Is that a steal or fake? Lol
Nice review, but I like your shirt very much.,,, where can I order your t-shirt?,,, But my choices is Club De Nuit Intense Man, the projection is Monster.,,, Here in the Philippines CDNIM is much better than Explorer
Scent wise I prefer MBE. I have CDNI LE.
My question can I layer the two?
The best way i can describe explorers opening is less pineapple and pepper than aventus, and almost a bit of a passion fruit vibe to me. The best i can describe it is sort of the way NOS energy drinks smell.
CDNIM vs Al Haramain L'aventure would be a better comparison, cause they both dont have a "twist"
or afnan supremacy not only intense vs montblanc explorer (both have a twist)
If OG club, Explorer takes it easy for me.
I own the original and these two and I dont know if this will help anybody but mont blanc explorer seems more sweet pineapplelly and cdni seems more creamy smooth and lasts longer way longer
Actually they're about the same price if you do the edp ..you can get the edt cheap but edp, parfum and special edition parfum are the same as explorer (100 ml) at your price point maybe even a tad more expensive. The only bottle I can find in edp concentration is the 6.8 which is twice the size of the 100ml explorer and they both go for about $60
Is Afnan NOI better than both of these?
Just gonna go ahead and say it. I like Explorer more than Aventus. The smokiness of Aventus makes it a two season fragrance for me. Explorer can be worn Spring, Fall, and Winter.
Lol.
Mont blanc is better. I just bought a 200 mill.😎 it doesn’t have that sharp rotten lemon smell right at the open like CLBNIT…
Explorer is the better frag but the performance and price of CDNIM overshadowed Mont Blanc. I like how CDNIM is more resinous and Smokey, maybe too much so. And Explorer hits a cleaner fresher take with a nice ambroxan dry down.
I got a compliment from Aventus none from CDIM I’m wearing explorer now
Layer the two for the best of both worlds
Cdim is definitely a compliment getter and performance is better but as far as the scent goes I like explorer slightly modern
Ok im at a road block.
What should i buy?
Mancera Cedrat Boise
Monte Blanc explorer
Or Supremacy not only intense
I want something loud and lasting but Not CDNIM
Mancera CB w/o a doubt.I have the intense version on its way!!!
MCB love explorer and snoi but it is slightly better
Supremacy not only intense! I dont know the first choice you listed but owning the other two id say Supremacy is better, much much much longer lasting, much stronger scent.
Supremacy has a strong smell of blackcurrant or blackberry though.
Dear Ash. Please compare explorer and parfum (non limited version) version.
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
MB Explorer vs. Maison Alhambra Encode?
At least tell us which batch for CDNIM.
CDNIM smells horrible to me when I wear it bit perhaps nice to others from a distance. Explorer I don't notice but get loads of compliments
I'm still waiting for The clone Houses to come out with the new absolute aventus, shouldn't be long now I probably give them two or three months they'll have a clone of it lol And because it was actually pretty warm today I decided to wear sunset swim which is a clone of afternoon swim by Louis Vuitton for my scent of the day, it's really great stuff
Parfums Vintage already has their pre orders for the absolu clone they're making.
already sold out
That's a great house 🏠 👌
The second armaf drops an absolu clone I'll be copping it instantly without a thought
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...
Keep it up Ash, fan from South Africa! Please do the best clone for Bvlgari Tygar
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 😅
Dior homme intense vs valentino uomo intense??
Explorer: nicer scent, smells nicer. CDNIM better Aventus clone, fresher and better performance. I bought both.
What about lomani AB Spirit silver?
Montblanc Explorer for me all day long. To me CDNIM has a harsh lemmon opening like Pledge. That just me. You do you.
