Perfume that is on my watchlist for ages but I just couldn't buy it even at this price point.
CamelCamelCamel.
Does the scent last well?
Lasts the whole day and is pretty strong. I love it.
all day performance, little bit different on the opening but overall 99% the same.
Just finished my bottle that lasted 5 years.
Lots of people agree with this but personally I do not I found it smelt like lemon pledge and was horribly over powering but definitely go in and ask to test it, I might of gotten a bad batch.
Thats the first note but yeah armafs clone is 95% there in the seecond and thirs notes.. not the first one.. thats too citrusy
It’s absolutely disgusting. Everyone hated it.
And I love the genuine Aventus.
Settles down to a woody aromatic, just the opening is lemony.
Have you tried all the Club De Nuits though? I have both the normal Mens one (non Intense) and the Sillage. Wondering if I should add this to the collection if I can get away with smelling fancier than I am. 😁
Sillage goes hard… but sometimes too hard and becomes super overpowering and artificial
Club De Nuit Iconic is nice.

In order of my preference:
Iconic
CNIM (lemon pledge from the start.. but it has mellowed down after owning it for over 1 year)
Sillage
The Limited Edition version of that for a little more is apparently closer to Creed Aventus - https://www.fragranceshop.com/men-s-cologne/armaf/cologne-ar…
I've personal not purchased either and think they are far too generic for the price you pay and the sillage left is rather weak. If you want to stand out try Spicebomb Extreme by Viktor & Rolf or Supremacy, Not Only Intense by Afnan.
Yeah, the limited edition doesn't have that harsh smell of the normal CDNIM initially. Reasonably similar later on though once it dries. And you are paying a fair bit more for the LE, albeit still a hell of a lot less than Aventus. The cheaper CDNIM may even last a bit longer I reckon. But hey, I'm happy enough with either. Just put the EDT on earlier…
And I've been told I smell nice a few times while wearing CDNIM though, so that's a win.
I've only smelt the original Aventus once on a paper strip (after already having the clones), and to be honest, I wasn't that impressed by it. It might be a bit different on skin I don't know, but to me it didn't stand out or smell anything like the clones either. But hey, smell is another personal subjective thing to have an opinion on.
Damn, that's a lot of coin for little liquid.. I hope it smells as good as this for the amount of ramen I'm going to have to eat for the next X weeks.. I'll proudly display it right in-between my dozen tubs of Bella Delphine bath water. 🙃
I agree thats too much coin for what it is
Check out Al Haramain L'aventure Intense.
Overpriced. They have even shrunk the bottle and diluted it over the years.
Survives on the name but there is much better alternatives or clone fragrances out there.
"They've done studies, you know. 60 percent of the time, it works every time."
I have this and the mont blanc explorer…… they are NOT the same…
Bought 2 fragrances this year. This and an el cheepo Nautica for $20 for my work kit which is a better frangrance at a fraction of the price. The House of Creed will never, ever get another cent of my hard earned. Very disappointed with the impact (on my skin anyway). Palmolive soap has a longer lasting smell…
I bought this from the last Prime sale and something not right with it as the last few reviews also say.
The smell doesnt last for long, I have a feeling its fake.
Get Club De Nuit Intense, just as good, fraction of the price.
Given it's like $3 for the oil/alcohol that fills it and maybe another $3 for the bottle the mark up is hugeeee.

OP if you want a very similar smell, try this:

It’s basically an Aventus Creed clone, I’ve tried both and Club De Nuit is slightly different but surprisingly similar - and a 10th the price.
