Club de Nuit Intense Man Limited Edition

First Impressions & Dry Down

Club de Nuit Intense Man Limited Edition opens with a blast of pineapple and bergamot. The apple adds a crispness. Immediately, it's clear this is aiming for Aventus, hitting around 80% of the mark in the opening. The birch in the heart contributes the smoky leather accord, intertwined with jasmine and patchouli. The jasmine is a touch more prominent here than in Aventus, lending a slightly floral edge. The dry down sees a divergence. The musk is cleaner, less animalic compared to Creed. The oakmoss is present but subdued, and vanilla adds a touch of sweetness not as pronounced in the original. It's a smoother, more approachable base.

Bottom Line

A solid clone, offering a high degree of similarity to Aventus . The increased jasmine and vanilla in the Limited Edition differentiate it. If you desire the smoky birch of Aventus without the price tag, this is a strong contender. The original *might* possess a higher quality of ingredients, but Ideal for those seeking a bold, masculine fragrance for everyday wear.

The Performance Stats

Projection is nuclear for the first two hours, creating a significant scent bubble. Longevity is impressive, clocking in at 8-10 hours on skin. On clothing, it can linger for days. Be cautious with the number of sprays; less is more to avoid overwhelming those around you.
