I'm a true fan of the Aventus DNA it's the king for a reason. I still have the edt I bought in 2018 my most complimented fragrance. I even had the gen1 edt that had the lemon pledge thing going on but at the same time that puppy pulled compliments left and right with nuclear performance. My second favorite clone is Reyanne Insurrection pure II wich is my second most complimented fragrance. The DNA WORKS PERIOD! Like you said in the air it's all the same. Great breakdown.

When I first received the EDT version, ONE SPRAY WAS SUPER STRONG; it filled out the entire room. After a few weeks of usage, I really can't smell it anymore.

Creed and MFK Baccarat Rouge 540 are the King and Queen of Fragrances, we can all agree to that

I can’t make up my mind. Thanks to you, I’m just buying all of these here 😂. I’m a big fan of Creed Aventus. I’ve owned 2 bottles. This last one I have, I’m treating it like it’s the last one in the world. I’m using it lightly because let’s be honest, it’s a pretty penny. But I’ve heard great reviews of these Intense from CDN. I’m definitely buying them all. Might as well. New to the channel and new subscriber. Great video. Thanks

CDNIM Pure Parfum and CDNIM EDT and CDNIM Pure oil are my 3 favorites imo. All three perform well. All three smell amazing. All three are still in heavy rotation. I'm also digging Hamidi intense. Smells amazing and resembles the older batches of Creed Aventus. Another favorite of mine and glad to have it in my collection.

@@johnwickdog9713 That's a difficult question to answer. The older or newer batch? Creed Aventus has the fruity-citrusy batch and the woody/birch batch. Hamidi Addicted Intense last forever on my skin and smells nice. My CDNIM Pure Parfum is amazing. It also last forever on my skin and clothes. My bottle was very woody/birch heavy at first. After 6 months, now it is becoming more fruity-citrusy. Rayhaan Imperia is some good stuff too. Smells like the older batches of Creed Aventus. Last up to 7+ hours on skin. Supremacy Not Only Intense is a beast. 👍

I have the Limited Edition, Intense Man. The compliments that I got and some asked if this was Creed.

Ok. I will buy the LE today 😅

EDP is the best of this line. It smells like the original Creed Aventus from back in the day... The EDT has the lemon in the opening. The Limited is watered down. Buy the EDP put three sprays on you. Then buy Demeters pineapple and spray once... You will have the Creed Aventus pineapple fruity batch from 2016. You're welcome.

Armaf CDN intense man is the GOAT and now a new flanker extrait de Parfum is out! 🤯💥🔥

More Great Content. I've had the EDT and that joint was a compliment monster for me EVERYTIME I put it on. I have the EDP now and it still gets the job done, but its alot smoother and subtle. Doubt if I'll ever grab the others because the EDP Bottle seems like ENDLESS juice. Plus I have the Afnan Not Only for that DNA as well. But you make a Very solid case for the LE Parfum.

I have the EDT and the Limited Edition version. I never wear the EDT. I bought a decant of Aventus a while back to see how close the CDNI was to the original and I was shocked at how close the Limited Edition was to the original. The clone lasted longer and projects better imo. When I wear the original, I get about an hour of projection, then it’s skin scent throughout the lifespan of the fragrance. I’m probably going to buy a bottle in the future just for the culture lol, but I’m not in a rush anytime soon. The Limited Edition is good enough for me.

Same for me too. Bought the limited edition and real aventus and tested side by side. The only difference was the in the beginning. Aventus had a little mancera cedrat boise thing going on at 1st but quickly settles to smelling like the limited edition. The limited edition just smells richer and stronger. However, the limited edition gives me a headache whereas the aventus doesn't lol. Ps oud for greatness gives me a headache too so i don't think it's the cheapness lol

Think about this from a legal standpoint the harsh opening of the original EDT might have to do with the fact you can only come so close to the original Creed without a lawsuit

Creed Aventus isn't the fragrance it was! Since it's reformulation all it is now is an expensive clone of Club de Nuit which is now more like Creed than Creed! There's an old saying " if it works don't fix it " ! They should have left it alone!

Hello mate, I'm just asking for advice. I bought CDNIM EDP version of 200ml (for 60€), the perfume is logically original, and I bought it from a reliable source. Batch is from 8/2023, made in France, new, unpacked, everything normal. I looked at a bunch of reviews, comments, forums, etc. all over the internet about that perfume, and what everyone praised the most was projection, sillage and durability, because literally no one complains about it, people sa its a beast mode even with a newer batches. I sprayed 4 sprays on myself, and it lasted for about 3-4 hours, with a good projection for the first 30minutes, then it becomes a skin scent. At first I thought that I had become so-called nose blind to perfume, but I asked others and they say that they cant smell it. I don't know what it is and I really don't understand that it only lasts so short for me, I heard that for some perfumes you need to do the so-called "maturation" What do you think, i am dissapointed?
