Armaf Club de Nuit Intense Man EDT (105ml), often shortened to CDNIM, is the bold, smoky-citrus men's fragrance that became a local legend among fragrance buyers in the Philippines. It was released in 2015 as a Woody Spicy fragrance. It's built for the man who wants to be noticed: it opens bright and sharp, then settles into a smoky, musky trail that lasts through a long Philippine day.
Scent Notes
-
Top: lemon, pineapple, bergamot, blackcurrant, apple
-
Heart: birch, rose, jasmine
-
Base: musk, ambergris, patchouli, vanilla
How it develops: The opening is brisk and sparkling, led by lemon and pineapple, and it can feel sharp for the first few minutes. Then birch takes over, adding the smoky, slightly leathery character CDNIM is known for, while rose and jasmine smooth the edges. The dry-down is warm, musky, and lightly sweet. Most wearers think it smells best after about 30 minutes, so judge it on the dry-down, not the first spray.
Performance in Philippine Weather
Armaf Club de Nuit Intense Man is known for strong longevity and projection. Independent reviews commonly report around 8–10 hours on skin, and it often lasts even longer on clothes. Projection is strongest in the first couple of hours. Heat and humidity make the opening louder, so a little goes a long way.
-
Office or classroom: about 2 sprays on the chest or lower neck
-
Dinners, dates, evening events: about 3 sprays, one of them on your shirt
-
Outdoor daytime: keep it light and spray early so the opening settles before your commute
EDT vs EDP vs Parfum
This listing is the EDT, the version that built the CDNIM reputation. It gives the classic citrus-smoke punch at the most accessible price, with the sharpest opening of the three. The EDP is generally smoother up top, and the Parfum is denser and more polished. If you want the original CDNIM character and don't mind spraying carefully, the EDT is the value pick.
Storage Tips
Keep the bottle in a cool, shaded place away from direct sunlight, windows, and steamy bathrooms. Keep the cap on and store it in its box if you can.

FAQ: Armaf Club de Nuit Intense Man (CDNIM)
Is CDNIM worth it?
Yes, for buyers who like smoky citrus woods. It offers a recognisable masculine scent, strong real-world performance, and better value than many pricier fragrances. Its main weakness is a harsh opening, especially if you overspray in the heat.
How long does Club de Nuit Intense Man last?
Reviews commonly report around 8–10 hours on skin, and longer on clothing. Results depend on your skin, how many sprays you use, and whether you spend the day indoors or outdoors.
Is CDNIM a copy of Aventus?
No. It follows a similar fruity-smoky-woody style that people often compare to Aventus, but it isn't an exact copy. It has its own character, especially its sharp opening and strong dry-down.
Is it good for the Philippine climate and office use?
Yes, if you use restraint. It works especially well in air-conditioned spaces and at night. For the office, use fewer sprays and apply early.
Can women wear it?
Yes, if they enjoy bold, smoky citrus-wood scents.
