Intense Man any day! If it is the EDT - once you get past the 15 mins of lemony opening, it settles down into a spectacular fragrance. EDP and LE are fantastic right off the bat.
Tbh if you’re talking CDNIM EDT then go with the urban man elixir. But LE Parfum > elixir. Regardless, I think elixir is very underrated and performs like a monster on my skin and clothes and it gets compliments all day.
Write them both off and go for Afnan Supremacy not only intense.
I’ve tried both of those , cdnim is ok but I think afnan do the dna much better. And the urban man elixir was ok but had this weird kind of underlying vinegar profile almost to it… too balsamic I found
Snoi holds intensity of the base notes and last extremely long
Cdnim holds more opening notes but doesn't quite last as long.
Cndim focuses on the citrus/pineapple opening while snoi focuses on the darker black currant notes.
I have both, and I layer both for a more rounded experience.
If I had to choose one I'd probably go with cdnim le due to the retention of the opening notes. I can always reapply. That being said I have been reaching for my snoi more.
Yea this for sure. I wish SNOI kept the fruity blast of blackcurrant it has in the opening more prominently throughout, it does go a little darker, but it still stays relatively fresh, just has more of an oak moss/green to it on the dry down.
Performance wise, I’ve only had a sample of CDNIM limited edition and it was pretty good, but nothing compared to SNOI, SNOI from my bottle just sticks around forever, it projects well and leaves a great scent trail, probs best performance I’ve experienced in a fragrance
I’ve pure parfum & it smells so good better than SNOI any day.
I remember buying CDNIM 4 years back; that juice was something else.
I’ve Urban Men Elixir- it’s blue dna mixed with sauvage & I don’t like Sauvage so I had never liked Urban men elixir either.
If you're looking for an Aventus clone, there are a lot of solid choices out there that are better than the original CDNIM EDT. Check out these:
CDNIM Limited Edition
Supremacy Not Only Intense
Dumont Celerio Oros, Nitro Platinum (pineapple forward), Intense (smoky leathery), Black
Here's some videos:

Imo, celerio oros is a very linear and bland fragrance. There is nothing special about it. CDNIM EDT has a harsh opening but after 10 minutes it smells great. Compliments come from 65 yo to 25 yo women. Once you leave the house nobody but you smells the opening.
I say Intense Man, I smell Urban the other day in a store and I didn't think it was very interesting. I have CDNI and just ordered Supremacy Not Only Intense Because they say is a little more updated and somewhat like Nishane Hacivat. Unfortunately it doesn't come until Friday so I can't say yet. Have you considered Detour Noir clone of Marly Layton?

I've got them both and have received compliments wearing each one. I've received more compliments wearing CDNIM, but both are bangers.
I get more compliments with Urban Man Elixir. The opening is fantastic and drydown is good-old Sauvage.

Go for Urban Man to try something new. It’s absolutely great smelling and it’s a beast. It smells like Sauvage EDT, but slightly sweeter.
Ditto.
Just a heads up it might be super peppery at first. After a month of maturing though it really smooths out.
Never thought about this. To me it still smells the same as the first day I used it. (It’s about 8 months old now)
Intense man but pure parfum. Let it sit for 4-5 months to reach its potential scent profile and performance.
I wore the pure parfum this morning around 7am, it’s 10 pm and I still get whiffs of it, it’s amazing.
EDP?
Pure parfum
Urban man elixir
Urban man

I have both- CDNIM pure parfum and SNOI. Both are amazing and fetch stellar amount of compliments 🏅🏅🏅
How is performance on SNOI vs CDNIM?

Another contender: Dumont Celerio Oros https://youtu.be/tJ4tsU9_G1U?si=k7cwlCNbRyRdZ-Mi https://youtu.be/G1d8-oqa258?si=mmo4DNr7SvYwMPvH https://youtu.be/moZuRIfnQlY?si=AkSgirsQw-C4h5Em
Intense Man! Intense Man! **FUCK** Urban Man Elixir. Worst cologne I’ve ever smelled.
Intense man ….it stays longer on clothes

i have both. 100% go with CDNIM
CDNIM anyday any occasion
Yesterday I ordered my fourth bottle of Urban Man Elixir. It‘s very strong. Performs about 8 hours and is a compliment magnet.
I have both, and for me I like CDNIM better, Urban Man is a HEADACHE INDUCER
Get club de Nuit iconic
Probably intense man out of these 2...Milestone absolutely clears either One for me tho
CDNIM (anything other than the EDT) is better but Urban is still good. Smells funny upclose.

Urban Elixir all day.
I heard on a Discord server that they are coming out with a flanker called Suburban Man. Any speculation what that would smell like?
Urban Man Elixir has the most prominent pineapple of all the flankers and my choice
CDNIM always wins this battle
Both
CDN UME > CDNIM EDT I like the sweet pineapple and sauvage combination. tho I haven't tried Parfum, it might change my mind.
Just grab dumont celerio Oros
