    I prefer Explorer over CDNIM, especially the limited one. CDNIM can be a bit polarizing at times whereas Explorer is a bit dialed back at can be worn pretty much anywhere, occasions or otherwise.

    bro. so TWO YEARS ago i was moving from new jersey to Colorado. I wanted to give myself a gold chain (my first ever) as a moving away gift. I watched countless videos of your gold reviews and chains and fell in love because I'm also half Cuban and loved watching all your different real/fake gold chain vids. fast forward two years later, a whole lifestyle I'm living and wanted this fragrance for years and wanted to watch a video to remember how it smelt. your video came up and brought back a ton of memories and feeling. instantly subscribed, thank you so much brotha

    I have Aventus, Afnan Supremacy Not Only Intense, Armaf CDNI edt, and MontBlanc Explorer. Since the EDT left a bad taste in my mouth, and the Afnan is strong on the Black Currant, I don’t see Explorer as redundant. It’s basically a cheaper Aventus that smells exactly the same in the air. I only paid $44 for a 100mL so I don’t regret it. I can use 2-3 sprays of Aventus and 4-5 sprays of Explorer.

    Bought it like 45 dollars yesterday . Amazing . But to me looks even closer to cdnim and aventus now more Smokey than sweet from last bottle I finished a couple of years ago . I can use it without the guilt of using the Og aventus I am happy enough . Just for coincidence I had moustache from yesterday and it looked so better . By way club de nuit is a lot more expensive now than explorer

    I had Mont Blanc, but it didn’t perform that good on my skin, only got about four hours and it was gone. Club De Nuit Limited Edition Parfum, and my Afnan Supremacy Not Only Intense, those to me are way better alternatives that are in that price point. Performance is way, way better. I get around eight to ten hours easy on my skin sometimes more depending on the weather. And projects much better, gets more complements. Right now my Mont Blanc is just a paper weight.

    I’ve smelled Aventus, Bond9 HTTP, Explorer & Elysium. On scent strips and on skin. Of those 4, (because of the price/value) I perfer Mont Blanc’s EXPLORER for this scent DNA.
    Besides….. it’s not full size bottle worthy for me, but is definitely worth it to get a decant. I wish i could get a Parfums Vintage decant. 💯

Will probably go for that next. Smelled the cdni edt a while back and didn't care for it. May get the parfum or just stick with la venture

    Club de nuit is better, but Mont blanc explorer is still more popular with the girls than club de nuit. It's because explorer is a top note fragrance where it's more light and airy, CDNIM is base heavy so it's more dense and thicker which isn't always better but it does have better performance. I think explorer stays more true to actual aventus in the fact that aventus is also top note fragrance that is supposed to be lighter and airier. It's supposed to shine most in the opening and then the dry down should be lighter so you only get some light wifts of it in the air. CDNIM is the type of fragrance that stays heavy even in the dry down and when you smell it, you smell a lot of it and can be overpowering. Aventus and explorer are not supposed to be overpowering but rather slightly classier by staying fresher and less dense

    Explorer is my personal 2nd favorite scent, it does not have pineapple or smokey birch and dries down with a ton of patchouli and some leather so I don't understand why it's "a aventus clone" wouldn't a clone have pineapple and smokey birch resin? it's somewhat like aventus but it's cleaner and just better and doesn't have the annoying pineapple or the smokey birch

      ATH says explorer is better than CDNIM...mainly because it's closer to what aventus should be. Lighter and airier, not a dense and base heavy fragrance like CDNIM. He doesn't feel like CDNIM was able to capture the same quality of aventus and the same balance of aventus, but he feels like explorer did this probably the best at capturing the quality and balance of aventus

  • @gaget5455
    @gaget5455 Місяць тому

    I can see why you’re a bit annoyed with it. Mainly because Aventus has been cloned so many times that its DNA is hard to miss. So when a “new” fragrance comes out from a designer brand that’s well known, and you find out that it’s a clone of a popular yet expensive fragrance, if it was your first time knowing then that’s a different story, but since you review fragrances and have tested out all types, I can see why it can annoy you. Simply due to the fact that again, this fragrance has been cloned so many times. And while Montblanc Explorer is still a great alternative, there’s other clones or inspirations out there that pretty much get the job done in a much better way. Rebel my Pete & Pedro is a great example. Sure it’s not necessarily a clone, but you can tell that it was definitely inspired by Aventus. It’s similar to Montblanc Explorer. In terms of longevity and projection. But its scent has its own twist to it. It’s not as smoky in the drydown. It’s more fruity with a bit of wood and tiny bit of oak moss but mainly fruits. It’s a great scent that definitely does give you that Aventus vibe to it. But Montblanc has that smokiness that Aventus has in the drydown which I why I believe some will probably like that version better. To me, it doesn’t matter if you have the original creed, Montblanc or Rebel, they pretty much smell the same, but of course you can still pick up the differences. The only upside is that Rebel is $50. And smells like it’s $400 haha.
