So as some of you may have seen. I was somewhat flaming this a couple weeks ago when I initially received the package and opened the bottle to test it out…

Since the pick up I have NOT sprayed it on skin, nor clothes. The initial opening and few sprays in the air turned me off immediately. Since then, I just took the cap off the atomizer and just let it sit and it DID chill out a lot since my first sprays that smelled pretty much like radioactive ass…

Well that all changed today and I sprayed myself 4 times. One on the neck and the rest on my torso area and I have to say….. It smells…. Nice…. The opening is still sharp BUT the dry down is, good 🤷🏻‍♂️ Pineapple, smoky Aventus DNA that we all love and glaze like a donut. Is this an aventus killer? Nah. Do I LOVE it? Nah. It is wearable and I see the appeal. I’m still going to get another bottle of the OG but this does actually smell nice once the opening chills out a bit. This topic has been touched on so much it’s almost like the imagination convo. Just sharing my thoughts.

I’m trying my hardest to like CDNIM but it just smells like…. Rotten or something idk. I can definitely see some notes poking through when it “dries” but is this what the hype is about??? I might just let it mature a bit in a dark space but at the same time I might just go buy another bottle of Aventus 😂

Marwa however does actually smell quite pleasant and will honestly use it from time to time but will just for sure end up buying another bottle of imagination as well…

For context, I am not a clone guy. However I just couldn’t resist these two as they clone two very very highly sought after originals and arguably two of the best pound for pound colognes of all time.

I just got them today as I was running out the door omw to work. I sprayed about 8 sprays of Marwa and so far it smells.. Nice. Obviously having had the OG there are some differences but this smells great so let’s see how it performs the rest of the day.

I opened the CDNIM EDP and gave the card a spray and I am not gonna lie.. it was a bit rough on the opening as people have explained but took another sniff a couple mins later and it smelt great as well.

Excited to see how these perform these next couple weeks as I will be wearing them daily.
