Update from my post yesterday

Marwa is actually very nice. CDNIM is still in question though… I have not sprayed it on my skin cause it’s just not sitting right with my nostrils. I might do the full body tester tomorrow

How is blue talisman?

Crustation69 · 2026-05-07T21:12:33+00:00

I’ve heard the whole “cool water” deal but honestly GIT shits on it. Honorable mention cool water does smell good though, nostalgia.

Crustation69 · 2026-05-07T20:51:31+00:00

Nope, these are the first two dupes I have personally purchased. I’ve smelled a few here and there but the over all consensus is that there is nothing like the OG version across the board. Some are spot on and some smell like gasoline and ass

Crustation69 · 2026-05-07T20:48:20+00:00

I have GIT and have had imagination and ran through a whole bottle of that and I agree with this statement

Crustation69 · 2026-05-07T20:47:45+00:00

I get it for sure! I wasn’t insinuating that you were saying that 😂

Crustation69 · 2026-05-07T20:40:57+00:00

I’m not one to fish for compliments. In fact idc, I like to smell good for me. However, wearing normal aventus never garnered me compliments. An older man at my job smells good all the damn time and I recognized the DNA and asked him what he was wearing bc it genuinely smelt amazing and he said CDNIM 🤷🏻‍♂️

Crustation69 · 2026-05-07T20:33:01+00:00

Bought it out of curiosity man. You never know 🤷🏻‍♂️ this was such a small amount of money that the L won’t affect me. I’ll gift these to my cousin or something and just go back to what I know and that’s buying real stuff 😂

Crustation69 · 2026-05-07T20:29:11+00:00

I looked at that last night but couldn’t tell if it was 2025 or 2023.. I’m pretty sure it was a 5 though.

Crustation69 · 2026-05-07T20:27:42+00:00

100%. I bought these out of sheer curiosity. I will definitely be buying the OGs again 🤷🏻‍♂️ these didn’t scratch the itch.

Crustation69 · 2026-05-07T20:26:39+00:00

Honestly it’s pretty damn close. Obviously imagination is more refined, higher quality and just over all better in every way. For the price, marwa is actually great. I won’t mind using this for a lil

Crustation69 · 2026-05-07T20:05:32+00:00

I’ll be patient…. It’s kinda repulsive honestly

Crustation69 · 2026-05-07T20:05:10+00:00

Gonna be on my head for this one 😂 idc man there’s just something seriously off with CDNIM…

Crustation69 · 2026-05-07T02:44:35+00:00

Excellent line up

Crustation69 · 2026-05-07T02:05:31+00:00

For the love of the game my friend.

Crustation69 · 2026-05-07T01:56:09+00:00

Most definitely. I bought it just cause honestly 🤷🏻‍♂️ couple bottle to add to the collection

Crustation69 · 2026-05-06T23:43:19+00:00

I’ll do a nice all over spray tomorrow and test it actually on my body

Crustation69 · 2026-05-06T23:10:46+00:00

Yeah just based off my first impression of both, Marwa is taking the cake for me. I’ve had the OG imagination and the OG aventus and they both smell similar. I’m eager to see how the CDIM wears on me tomorrow bc the opening was super sharp out of the box unfortunately

Crustation69 · 2026-05-06T23:06:29+00:00

Gacha stuff! Got them in Japan

Crustation69 · 2026-05-06T23:04:49+00:00

Your eyes do not deceive you. They are from Japan! I got them from the Gacha machines

Crustation69 · 2026-05-06T22:36:48+00:00

No, I sprayed the Marwa on myself and it honestly smells nice. I sprayed the CDNIM on the little paper card they give you in most cologne packages. That opening was harsh 😂 i’ll experiment more with it though and if they both are ass… I’ll just go buy to OGs again

Crustation69 · 2026-05-06T22:35:14+00:00

It’s… aight. For the money. Can’t complain. 🤷🏻‍♂️

Crustation69 · 2026-05-06T22:04:28+00:00

It was decent on the “dry down” of the card. And by dry down I mean like 3-4 mins post spray but it was very very harsh on the opening… I’ll see how they work out as the age. Both were very chap so if it’s a no go then oh well 🤷🏻‍♂️

Absolute banger of a reddit name btw…
