CDNIM, even with lemony opening, is a far better Aventus alternative with better performance and far superior drydown. If I had to sum this juice up in one word it would be “refined”, but I like the dirty Smokey pineapple that older formulations of Creed used to produce.

Reminds me of stuff my Dad wore when I was growing up so perhaps a little dated, not sure if my son is going to like it!I now tested Al Haramain L'aventure Intense and I own CDNIM PP, LE, and EDP, as well as Creed Aventus.

I have tried CDNIM, Supremacy Silver, and every Poseidon variation from Dua and nothing touches L’Aventure. It immediately smelled 90% similar to another Armaf fragrances in my Scent Armory (don't know which one) just wish Fragrantica would add it to their databse.I get decent performance with this one and if you don’t care about a pineapple opening then you’d probably love this one. It's been a month since my initial review and I have been wearing L'Adventure in my regular rotation along with Aventus.
