Strong scent, it's like a blast of burning cinnamon, with red hot pepper, coriander, dry ginger, turmeric, schezhuan pepper, more that I can't describe. I learned more about fragrances and purchased few more and realised that I've been wasting a gem of a fragrance. Pure parfum is much more denser,compact and smokier than the newer creed batch that i have, it's very balanced with the fruits and smokiness while never becoming too smoky. A nice beginner fragrance, I admit I underestimated it, but I must say it smells nice, the performance is great on me. I made the mistake (clearly) of chasing the CDNIM hype until I figures out they weren't living up to my Vintage batches.

Like its brother, it is Citrusy, synthetic, but less alcohol, which makes it more intense and the notes blend better and compliment eachother more. Please read the full reviews and consider your own needs and preferences before making a purchasing decision. An update after letting my bottle set for a couple of month's, i must say that this is now an amazing scent. Just let your EDT macerate for some months and the opening will improve significantly, even though it shouldn't matter since that only last for about 15 to 20 minutes, and the dry down lasts more than 12 hours. DNA of this fragrance (or I should say, of Aventus) is obviously very popular and becoming overused.The EDT blew me away with it's dry down and longevity, but the harsh lemon cleaning product opening disappointed me. Parfum is less coarse during the opening, which is better than the EDT in that aspect but everything else goes down the drain later. This is the first fragrance that she has liked from the get go and will comment on the fragrance that it smells amazing , long lasting and stays on my clothes even after the item has sat in the was bag for two day’s the item smells lovely still. I sprayed it like 10 times and now opened the cap and let it mascerate for a week in my closet in the box.

The EDT is louder, more harsh, more lemony- while the Parfum is more rich, more subtle, less projection, but better longevity. Bought two more of the limited edition parfums before this gets reformulated and ruined like so many FRAGS do these days. But when you have a company like Creed, who really isn't even the Creed it was, it's just a shadow of it's former self and someone else bought it and gonna just make a lot of money from the wave of greatness already created awile ago. That being said, don’t overspray as this could definitely overwhelm someone since the performance of the fragrance is exceptional. Projection: The projection on the other hand is relatively sad, this is the biggest letdown of this fragrance is the sillage/projection.Note: Fragrances are very subjective and two different persons can react completely different to the same fragrance, You have the right to disagree with my opinion/review. This stuff is so good that it's as if Aventus is a bad clone of CDNIM at this point since Aventus has no longevity and they have reformulated it so many times. Thus, Club de Nuit Intense I think is just very concentrated, which makes it last a long time, at the expense of an overly strong, overpowering opening.

Anyway, I sprayed only TWO sprays an hour before work, and a coworker of mine informed me that whatever I had on was REALLY strong. Pineapple, apple and some birch, drying down to ambergris, musc and patchouli, minimal vanilla sweetness.Double blind bought it, never smelled this nor Creed Aventus before (still kinda new to the perfume game) and wow am I blown away. Aventus doesnt even go through masks, but this badboy could be smelled through a concrete wall if you spray enough. I blind bought this fragrance because of the countless good reviews it has promising lots of compliments. I was about to ask the guy standing in line in front of me if he was wearing anything, and he said it was the guy in front of him that was wearing it. Its winter right now so I'm going to wait until summer to really decide if I'm keeping this or just giving it away.
