As it dries down the sweetness here comes out in a much more pronounced way, the birch here - just right. Plus the presentation/packaging is extraordinary and something Creed should consider adopting for the p4ice that they charge. Considering that it is no longer possible to find a legitimate Aventus in our market (they turned it into Manzera with a cheap zest), this limited edition is a wonderful alternative to Creed. As much as I like it, I know that Aventus will die quickly on my skin, and that CDNIMLE is stronger with more lasting power, and I really just enjoy it a lot.

Inexpensive, beastly performance MONSTER with a heavenly scent trail and sillage that lasts for HOURS.I also tested other Aventus clones, not only because I wanted something cheapper but also I hoped for a slight improvement. This fragrance easily lasts 12+ hours in the warm weather and projects a powerfull 2 meter bubble around you for the first 2 or 3 hours, then resides within arms reach for most of the total 12 hours it's on you. It's true that the opening is less harsh, but it's certainly not full Aventus glory -- I'm still wearing Aventus to like a wedding or whatever, ya know? The perfume is not long-lasting, maybe it's good in the Arabic version, but I do not recommend this one! Performance is incredible too, definitely one of the best beginner scents and best clones out there.

I keep a small decant in my gym bag and I’ll hit a small spray in the middle of the day to refreshing up. And after some understanding about clone houses, they all seem to have this sort of issues, where the frags develop with aging. After the first hour you'll get less citrus but more wood and musk, I can smell a faint smokiness but no vanilla or sweet notes. I spent a long time deciding which fragrance to choose, Club de Nuit Intense Limited Edition or Club de Nuit Intense.

Okay so in the beginning first few days the performance wasn't really that good, but after giving it a few sprays and letting it sit in the closet, it became a beast.
