But now I really can’t say that the difference between this 7/19 batch and my Aventus samples matters. So if you prefer a sweeter version, just hit it with a touch (10-15%) of Demeter Pineapple - it really does get it "there.

Armaf's Club de Nuit Intense Man, a symphony of citrus and spice, invites you on an olfactory journey that's as bold as it is exhilarating. 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. I enjoy mixing this fragrance with legend spirit because it adds a great fresh blast of grapefruit and bergamot to an otherwise harsh synthetic lemony smell.Once it drys down it becomes a pleasant pineapple smell with a bit of woods which is a unique take on the aventus dna. I don't want to get into a big analysis, but I would note that at the moment, it's like there are two similar but fundamentally different scents. I just got the EDP version, tested it on my skin a few times and it is not working for me (maybe its my skin chemistry) - the opening smell overpowers like pledge.

Bright opening, for the EDT and EDP versions which I have never smelled/tested, opening is a problem so I read. Only issue is this bad boy lasts for 2 days +, which means I have to wait before being able to wear a different perfume. Now, fast forward over 6 months later in batches and we start getting something damned near Aventus. The parfum is lighter, more fruity and balanced (as others have reported), whereas the EDP keeps the stronger lemon scent.I blind bought this fragrance because of the countless good reviews it has promising lots of compliments. There is something great about this fragrance but my nose cannot find it through all the strong scent of lemon. Some may even prefer this to Aventus as the fruitiness of the scent last longer in the opening and the smokiness is more pungent in the dry down. Opens up with extremely synthetic citrus but you can smell the leather notes right away and it turns into an amazingly fruity leathery fragrance that lasts for 8-10 hours easily. Like the aftermath of a revitalizing citrusy shower, this fragrance exudes a freshness that's fitting for both office spaces and intimate rendezvous, given a prudent application.
