Club De Nuit Precieux 1 for Men Extrait de Parfum Spray, 1.85 Ounce

Probably the only ME clone that I would get back up bottles of, and that's only for the purpose of having several bottles "maturing" as im using another one. Yes, this needs a bit of time. Out of the box, Precieux 1 performs well, and smells really good, though nothing special. Its familiar scent of Creed DNA is unmistakable, but fresh out of the box, it just smells like a higher quality variant of your standard CDNIM edt. 2 months in is when the magic comes. Now, you really get that smoky Aventus Absolu scent, with performance that can stand with the best of high end designers and niche frags. The stars of the show are the jasmine, oak moss, leather, and amber notes. Other reviews have noted that Precieux is fruity and more "playful" than Aventus/Absolu. I do not agree. Though quite fresh in the opening thanks to the CDNIM signature lemon opening (not harsh in this one), accompanied by a sweet pineapple note, i do not think this is a "fresher" take on Aventus Absolu. In the dry down, Precieux is ever so slightly "darker", and serious. This is a fragrance for the CEO, not the recent college grad that's just starting off his finance career. Precieux screams "boss", and demands your attention and respect. It is a versatile fragrance that can be worn anytime, anywhere. It projects, has an incredible scent bubble that lasts for hours on end, and the longevity is up there until your next wash. I get about 2+ hours of aggressive projection, 7 - 10 hours of sillage, and 20+ hours on your clothes. When you smell something like Precieux, it almost becomes criminal how much designers and niche frag houses charge you. Why would I want to spend $200-400+ on a fragrance that could be had for $40 ish? Just as an FYI; This is NOT a 1:1 of Aventus Absolu. The creed DNA is there, and it definitely comes quite close to what they say it's cloning. However, just because Precieux is not a 1:1 does NOT mean that it's not worth the pick up. Grab a bottle for yourself and see and smell what I mean. It's only $40 ish. Take a jab at it.

I received my bottle 1.5 months ago. Production date 11/2024. I have on hand Aventus and Absolu Aventus (2025 batch) decants, and L'Aventure Intense (maturating for about 2 months). Of this DNA I prefer Precieux, even over the OG Creed offerings I have on hand. The issue I usually have with clones, dupes or inspirations is the quality of the oils and the blend. I am ok with differences or twists of a DNA, but not synthetic or poor quality oils or off-putting blends. Precieux smells like the quality of the oils used is high, just not quite at the level of Creed. Quality is up there with private/higher lines of designer fragrances. When I first got Precieux there was no alcohol blast, and lasted on skin for about 5-6 hours. After maturating for about 6 weeks, now lasts about 9-10 hours on skin, projects for about 2 hours, sillage for 6+ hours and stays on clothing for 20+ hours. Even though Precieux was smooth and smelled good when I first got it, time improves the fragrance. More nuance, sweeter pineapple and fruits and as mentioned, improved performance. Precieux is not Absolu Aventus, nowhere close. To me feels like there are hints of Absolu Aventus in the background and is much fruitier. Fresher and more playful version of the Aventus or Absolu Aventus Creed DNA. This fragrance does smell of quality and feels niche, not designer. If someone is looking for a Creed Aventus DNA alternative and seeks quality, this is a great pickup.

Update: This is a compliment magnet! I don't even want to compare it to other fragrances because it stands on it's own. I bought another bottle, sprayed it 10x and put it away to mature. I will always have a backup ready to go as long as they don't change the formula. Original review: I had a sample of what this is supposed to be a clone of Creed Absolu, I was originally going to buy Creed Absolu but it wasn't what I expected when I wore it. I love Creed Aventus, I own it and just about every clone there is because I love that fragrance profile! I saw some reviewers talking about Precieux and what I heard more often than not was that while it is similar to Absolu? They liked this better. I just got mine and I have to agree, it smells great! It smells expensive, it smells better by far in my opinion while still having that Creed DNA to it. If you buy Armaf fragrances then you know letting them sit after about 10 sprays for a month improves them to what they were meant to be. I love this one right out of the really impressive but overly done box so I'm not sure how long I'm going to wait. I can see this being a signature scent and one I'll be reaching for more often than not. I may have to buy another and let that one sit, for this price compared to the Absolu? It's something that you can do and not feel like your breaking the bank to do it. Excellent purchase of a beautiful, long lasting scent.

I love it. Pleasant odour and long lasting, i bout it two times as the price dropped down to AED 270, Keep it up
