Hey Ash, I have become a regular viewer of you videos and can thank you for almost all of my collection. I'm hoping you review the newly released Afnan Supremacy Not Only Intense. I have recently picked this up and am a big fan.
Victor No9 does it for me in price, projection, sillage you name it. I know mileage differs on everyone but boy does it get me stopped by strangers! I'd love to try all mentioned in this video but I'm happy with Perfumer's Choice version.
I’m surprised you didn’t have explorer here, since you crowned it your favourite aventus style fragrance in your last aventus clone video. I still love it, one of the easiest dumb reach fragrances I’ve ever owned.
Gotta say I just got my bottle of Club De Nuit Intense and my bottle of Tres Nuit in the mail 2 days ago and I gotta say I really prefer the Tres Nuit over Club De Nuit!
I’ve had Reyanne Tradition Pure for years. It’s a decent clone and in the air multiple people (who have the real Aventus) have mistaken it for the real thing so for the price it’s worth a try if you’ve never tried Aventus and just want to know what ballpark the scent is in.
Hey Ash on one of the live chats that you did with us I told you about a fragrance called canyon escape by Hollister that's a aventus clone as well I have to say that one's not bad at all, you should get your nose on that one 😊👍
parfums vintage does it best. Emperor edp comes very close to the original, and if you catch it on sale it's not a terrible price. It's arguable if you'd be better off buying a 50ml decant of a 2019 batch vs. the clone, but there's no denying it works.
I tried PVI and it was disgusting. It literally smelled like pineapple bugspray🤢 Gave me an instant headache and had to get back in the shower and scrub where I sprayed 15-20 times to get the smell off of me, so the only thing I can say is that it's strong. Nothing compares to Aventus, nothing.
Have CDIM, AHLA and IP2...as well as decants of Aventus. That said, I have purchased 50 ml bottles of PV King, PVI and Emperor, all three are of extreme quality and well worth the extra $$$. Emperor extrait will be my next purchase.
Got a sample of Pineapple Vintage classic and it is not that bad. Took a while to get used to it. Not sure which Aventus batch I smelled in oil form a few yrs ago, but it was one that was heavy on the citrus to make it nauseating. Don't like the Club de Nuit Intense. Explorer ain't bad. I'd dig it.
I had the original one until it fell to the floor. Then I replaced it with Club de Nuit. I get a lot more compliments and the durability is phenomenal .
Quick question. What year was your cdnim made in? It should say it on the sticker at the bottom of your box. The reason I ask is bc I just bought one that was made in 2021 and it performs awfully. The scent is amazing but it doesn’t last or project.
I think a lot of your viewers know about Creed clones, so maybe drop some vids on clones for other niche houses, like Xerjoff, Amouage, Roja, PDM, etc. I’d love to see some content like that.
New subscriber. Thx for the aventus clone input. Im late to the show. Just got into fragrances. Really love the cdnim edt&edp also went with ur suggestion on a layer with rave now for the pineapple opening. And just ordered Al haramian + supremacy silver. Have a feeling im gona be going down a rat hole soon:)
That's not so hard. Closest clones are Red Temptation and Night pour Homme V of Zara. The best quality is Amber Oud Rouge and the most popular is Cloud..
@@rubski-ds9yc red sapphire have nothing to do with BR 540, i have it right front of me.. Bought for my wife and its really sugary to sweet and youthful type of fragrance.. Bad decision
I agree, this should become a type of series. Personally, I don't have the money to spend on Creed, PDM,...I recently got CDNIM pure parfum. When i first got it, I sprayed in on my wrist to test it out...just 2 sprays. Went to the supermarket and straight away got a question from a stranger on what perfume I was wearing. So there is that. Personally, I think it is by far my best perfume and I do have some stuff that makes it to the compliment puller lists on youtube.
Not sure how old you are, but I remember in the 90's, if you couldn't afford the expensive stuff, there was a line called Designer Imposters that was all clones.
In my personal opinion.. Afnan Not Only Intense & Armaf Club De Nuit Intense Man Limited Edition are the better choices. You're gonna save a lot of money, you'll smell to die for and both last wayyyyy longer than Aventus, too!
I'm surprised that no one has mentioned the multiple and awesome Aventus clones from Dua Fragrances. The clones go by the name Poseiden, and there are many options, and they are amazing!
can anyone comment on how well pineapple vintage stacks up against scentual obsessions' king of kings? i own kings, and the pineapple punches you in the face from jump, and the performance is fantastic (its an extrait formula).
Bruh, I'm already on that "AVANT" by Maison Alhambra under Lattafa. More of the smoke and pepper, same juicy pineapple, pushes past the 8 hour mark on my shirts.
Cremo No. 9 Bergamot & Musk is a honorable mention the opening is very dry or peppery But the dry down is amazing smells very close to Aventus on that part
I can splurge for Aventus, but all of these clones with better performance, I have no desire to do it, yet I kinda feel like I have an obligation to, just to experience it. I have a hard time moving from CDNI, as far as the clones go. It's so strong..you can wear it when it is cold and it wont die. The smokey vibe wont make you smell out of season in the winter and performance is just beast.
@@Nish_M Definately enjoy that my friend! Personally, I can't afford Aventus, Hacivat, Parfums Vintage...etc. However, I do own one that's quite similar and that's Mancera Cedrat Boise. Highly recommend it if you're looking for a different and high quality twist on the Aventus DNA.
Have you tried the armaf club de nuit intense perfume oil ? It doesn’t have that harsh smell like the spray fragrance. To me the oil smells more like aventus as soon as you apply it on and it lasts for at least 12-15 hours and lasts like you just put it on.
What's the difference between insurrection 2 pure and insurrection 2 sport? I've heard they are both clones of aventus. I had a sample of creed aventus cologne about a month ago and that's what I'm trying to find. From what I was told it wasn't creed aventus but creed aventus cologne which was the newer one? Thanks for any help
Next do a review novoglow fragrances from Amazon. Seriously if you haven't seen these look them up and get ready to bawl from laughter. My favorite is, Hope! Homme.
@@greatdanelegend7001 don't know if you're being sarcastic or not. But if not. There's a load of clones. Armaf ventana. Pride of armaf. Afnan modest une to name a few. I've pride of armaf it's very nice
@@XxmentalshotgunXx I wasn't being sarcastic, I'm new to the fragrance community. I just looked up pride of armaf and it's like 25 bucks (at least in my country), so that sounds pretty nice
@@greatdanelegend7001 it's absolutely worth that price. One of my most complimented fragrances. Sometimes the everyman would love. Excited for you to try it🙂
I'm 39 and when we were kids clones were called "designer imposters". I'm pretty sure it was the name of a brand too...as opposed to the name of a "house".
Just get L'aventure by Al-Haramain CDNIM is the birchy woodier batch of aventus while L’aventure is the less smoky batch of Aventus. L’aventure has that fruity pebbles vibe with a touch of smokiness.
Your review on Emperor Extrait was spot on and I'm surprised that you didn't choose this in this video. I agree that it's better than 2018 Aventus. Emperor Galerius released last year captures all of the Aventus defining notes czcams.com/video/ZrF-A7TnfRI/video.html
Hey Ashton, Amazon has the insurrection II pure le parfum for about $40. I recall you had a sample when you reviewed the sport version. Packaging is different and the bottle looks iridescent. Smells almost the same and last just a bit longer.
I remember first time I tried the armaf a friend give it to me I tried it it was like meh in the first 10 minutes then its was like daaaam this is great didn't even know creed that time and what shocked me more is that it lasts like reaaaaly lasts and projects much better then creed
I just bought my Club De Nuit too and for some odd reason I wanna try the other ones. Anyone layered Demeter Pineapple with Club de Nuit yet? how'd it go?
In my opinion, Aventus is ok but massively overhyped. The only two that really stand out for me are Silver Mountain Water and my personal favourite, Green Irish Tweed.
Club de Nuit Intense vs Limited Edition. You did mention the LE was smoother and "a different fragrance". Which one would be the better clone for Aventus?
Thanks for including the names in the links!! Great video as always sir
This could and should be a series! Just combos of different clones of marginally expensive colognes and which are best

@@BourbonInhibitions you are in denial because they aren't even close.
The Montagne versions are way better as far as a clone goes. Closer and still has the expensive sparkle for a great price.

Can you do a video on colognes that repel mosquitoes, because it's going to be spring/summer soon, and we have alot flying insects in Florida?
Afnan Supremacy Not Only Intense might be my favorite one. Compliment magnet with people who have masks on!
He should've put that one here instead of the afnan he used 😔
I got the NOI. Find it to be pineapple-y. Is the supremacy silver, smokier?
@@rexmercado7446 it's the other way round. NOI is supposed to be the smokier one...
@@diogobotelho5141 nop, noi is more to nishane hacivat,
Please try club de nuit intense “parfum” version its alot smoother
Try King of kings by scentual obsessions, its supposed to replicate the older batches of Aventus.
Parfums Vintage Emperor EDP and Emperor Extrait would be the best Aventus interpretations around in many people's opinion
I have afnan supremacy silver would it be redundant to get not only intense and club de nuit intense man special edition?
I already have Afnan Supremacy silver, what other 1 or 2 cologne can I add to this, can you help?

Supremacy Not Only Intense is a a beast fragrance. Both last forever!!
@@jaybowie6529 But do you think it's worth 30 more dollars over the EDT version or have you yet to try it

In my personal opinion.. Afnan Not Only Intense & Armaf Club De Nuit Intense Man Limited Edition are the better choices. You're gonna save a lot of money, you'll smell to die for and both last wayyyyy longer than Aventus, too!
Excellent Sir!
To this day my favorite fragrance, with or without pineapple, is Hugo Boss Elements Aqua.
Intro soundtrack 10/10 👌🏽
I would get the CLUB DE NUIT INTENSE Parfum, better than the edp and the edt in my opinion or l´aventure intense
Ive owned all of them and Zara Vibrant Leather is by far, the best.
It’s the best clone, but it doesn’t last longer than 3hs
I'm surprised that no one has mentioned the multiple and awesome Aventus clones from Dua Fragrances. The clones go by the name Poseiden, and there are many options, and they are amazing!
If you could buy only 1 niche fragrance next to Aventus what would the 2nd pick be?
Club de Nuit intense man edp and afnan supremacy not only intense are dope 👍🏻👍🏻
can anyone comment on how well pineapple vintage stacks up against scentual obsessions' king of kings? i own kings, and the pineapple punches you in the face from jump, and the performance is fantastic (its an extrait formula).
Haven't tried pv but I own king of kings and its amazing! I've heard monarch by king fragrances is also amazing and it's way cheaper. Check it out
I get a black licorice vibe from all Pinapple vintage DNA. Everyone I tried has it. Plus you can get real Aventus for $250 all day from wholesalers.
Would you say CDNIM is like the vintage/smokey version of creed aventus?
Afnan not only intense is a beast hands down 1000 recommend you r gonna project like crazy and longevity is insane 12 hrs ;) trust me

You need to try Essenza ' Patron de Nuit'
Hey Ash, have you checked out the house of English Laundry? I just picked up three of them for cheap and they smell amazing
