If it's super hot outside I spray on Eau Givree, if it's cold I spray on Most Wanted Parfum or maybe Code Absolu if I must leave the house, and when the weather is nice I spray on CDNIM EDP. What struck me the most was the scent progression, and how something that opens up completely different than the fragrance it is copying it, was how closely they get with each passing minute. It's clear that CDNIMLE has an Aventus type of smell, but in the same way you can tell a fresh pizza from Naples Italy and a frozen pizza both taste like pizza. Yes, it is more synthetic, and it takes time to get where it needs to be, but do yourself a favor, and get yourself probably the best affordable all-year-round scent out there. I agree that harsh opening is almost completely absent here and that the whole composition is almost the same as the Aventus.

Now the EDP also smells the same but at least projects more, maybe because it has more alcohol in it idk. Seriously, since I got this bottle and a backup I don't touch any of the other bottles in my collection, like at all. Out of all the clones on the market there are two of them that I adore even more than the legitimate fragrance they cloned. This is closer to Aventus than Sillage is to Silver Mountain Water or Milestone is to Millesime Imperial, and those clones are already close to their original.As it dries down the sweetness here comes out in a much more pronounced way, the birch here - just right. This, the Limited Edition Parfum, is to my mind classic Aventus in 3D with added steroids: one spray blooms a gorgeous bubble that projects in the cool indoors while becoming a much larger bubble in the super heated dry outdoors of where I reside in Southern New Mexico.

I sprayed it once when I went to work at around 7 am, spent a whole day in the office, finished with work around 5 pm, ran some quick errands, and picked up my friend around 6 pm. It's one heck of a compliment magnet, smells great, projects intensely and stays on skin and clothes even the day after. I won’t lie to you, but when it comes to compliments, this one crushes everything else in my collection, and it is the most complimented fragrance I ever owned, and this is why it is so popular.The fragrance itself is cheap enough to spray a little more in case you need an extra push from projection but I wouldn’t bother chasing older bottles since the fragrance will macerate after a couple of months anyway. I'm going to preface this review by stating I do not have experience with aventus or the OG club de nuit,but.

If you want to cover more surface and “smell a bit further” I’d suggest putting additional two sprays in the dips right beside your clavicle bone. I sprayed LE for the first time and a grin grew across my face because of how similar it was to Aventus.

LE Parfum reminds me of vintage Aventus batches, As we all know performance of the current batches of Aventus is disappointing and this has caused an unusual demand of old batches even at a higher than normal pricing. The smell is also a bit odd, but I'm hoping this will either change over time or my nose will get used to it. There is a logo on the top of the box, the name of the perfume is on the front side, and there is also a decoration with a cute but fake diamond. Someone who had used any perfume from the house, and saw the paint chipping off from the bottle after a couple of uses, and the sprayer sticking into the cap are just a few regular defects.

Hamsah is a honeyed, floral fragrance that unfurls its layers deliciously to reveal its true character, just like the person. This has excellent sillage, easily projects a couple of meters around you(verified by my colleagues), the scent is mainly pleasant smoky birch and citrus(pineapple) and the longevity on my skin is at least 12h+ and on clothes i detect it even 2 days later. I think the citrusy black pepper still beats the smokey pineapple bergamot, but the sillage of CDNIM is undoubtedly better. In a few words: A better rounded take on CDNIM that is more fruity, a tad more smoky, and still an affordable, fantastic compliment magnet oozing with masculinity.

If you want to smell like Aventus to 99% of the population that isn't a frag head, this will do that for you. If we talk about longevity and performance as we all know it varies from person to person depending on many factors like body chemistry, weather, temperature, etc.
