Club de Nuit Intense Man Extrait de Parfum is a bold, confident fragrance that opens with an unmistakably sharp citrus blast—bright lemon and bergamot mixed with a smoky edge with a soft touch of moss.
As it settles, the harshness smooths out into a more balanced mix of fresh apple, smoky birch, and soft florals, like jasmine and rose. There’s still a dark, woody vibe running through the heart, but it’s more refined than the original EDT version. The smoke is toned down, the citrus less piercing, and the overall composition feels deeper and more put together.
In the drydown, it turns into a warm, musky, slightly sweet blend—amber, musk, and woods—that sticks around for hours. The longevity and projection are moderate, making this a very versatile fragrance.
Overall, CDNIM Extrait is a more mature, smoother version of the original. Still powerful and masculine, but with the rough edges cleaned up. It’s for someone who likes to make a strong impression without coming off too harsh—bold, sharp, and dressed to impress.
Is it blind buy worth? If you love the Aventus DNA, probably… but is it worth the premium price tag of a full bottle? Better grab a decant!
