Hi CDNIM has many different batches and a search on the WWW will lead you to many forums with reports that different batches smell different. And what are the chances of a perfume like Armaf having fakes? Of course anything is possible but please consider the odds. These are topics discussed to death in many fragrance forums.

From what i saw, the CDNIM sold at Mustafa is made in Dubai though i didn't take note of the batch date. The one i bought from qoo10 seller is also made in Dubai 2019 batch with black sprayer. There has been alot of talk at Fragnatica about CDNIM's reformulation and difference in performance between batches. People seem to be mainly complaining about post 2017 batches, especially 2019 made in France batches. But i think you would be hard pressed to find anyone or anywhere still selling 2017 or earlier batches with silver sprayer.
As for performance, the harsh lemon bomb opening is very distinct. If you are not smelling any lemon or citrus, chances are there might be something wrong with bottle of tester. The smokey part comes in after around 30 mins. Personally i find the projection kinda weak but i get very good longevity. Easily 8+hours no problem. If i apply it onto my clothes and i leave them to air dry overnight, i can still get a whiff of the smell the following day. I paid around $25 after discount coupon for it(Mustafa selling at $34 or $35 iirc) and for the price, really no complains from me.

I have it. Scent doesn't last long...I would say even lesser than 3 hours
Is buying from perfume.com the cheapest even after factoring in shipping?
I will always compare the prices. Most of the time, perfume.com is the cheapest. Shipping is free to Singapore now, not sure if it's time-limited. Approx 7-10 days to reach my doorstep.
Edp more worth it
Thanks for the information. Would you mind sharing which sites you normally use to compare prices?

I think the issue with purchasing with all the web is when there is an issue, u will have to ship your perfume back before refunds r made. We are not able to ship as the goods r flammable and all. Also it will cost atleast 50usd or more to ship back for refund and the shipping back is not covered. So hmm..happen to me b4..

You can stick to Bonjour or Jasina's, and I think objectively that would be safer because you can easily contest if there's any defect. The price is too good for me to pass up.
Yes. Please ignore the companies I suggested.

Sorry bro for harsh comment, just annoyed when **** happen.hope you dont take it personnal. Just here as a fragrance fan..
Lots are as good or arguably better in terms of the quality of perfumery and ingredients used. Check out other designer brands (as in, they do fragrances but also do other stuff like clothes, makeup, etc.).
For something in the same price range, you can't go wrong with Versace. All can be checked out at Sephora, but don't buy at retail price from there. Prices for Versace's fragrances are consistently low everywhere else you look, whether it's Carousell or discounters such as the aforementioned www.fragrancex.com and www.perfume.com.
Other than A&F Fierce smelling similar to Legend, I don't think there are many fragrances that smell similar. There are lots of scent profiles out there. Go sniff them all
I love buying those small testers from bonjour, but cause most are glass, I can't bring them around. Anyone has a solution for this? Just a small metal container that I can put it in is fine
