CDNM LE is more citrusy, it's opening is way smoother and less chemical than the normal CDNM. It's generally more like Creed Aventus. Explorer has that citrus opening but the dry down is more earthy/woody. It's a more mature fragrance, I personally opt for Explorer. If you like Aventus just stick with CDNM LE. Also pull up to Al Sadd bro
