"I agree Pure Parfum is the best."
"By far the smoothest, longest lasting, closest version to Aventus."
"I just got the new Extrait de parfum and I would say it has the smoothness of the Limited Edition, the projection of the edt and the best performance of them all."
"He said the version named UAE National Day SPECIAL EDITION had the smoothest opening, nuclear projection and that it lasted the longest of all of them."
"Best smells is CDNIM"
"Pure Parfum is the best. Incredible. Simply fantastic."
"I got a free sample of dubai chocolate by Armaf ... Chocolate spray from AXE with decedent dense pistachios made sweeter and smells like a good ME baclava covered in powdered chocolate."
"Actually I prefer the EDT opening because the PP reminds me of bad things. The EDT wins in every aspect."
"Best projection? edp."
"CDNIM Permanantè is their longest lasting version. it’s actually extrait concentration."
