The best Armaf cologne is Club the Nuit Intense. The best Armaf perfume for women is Club de Nuit Intense Women (golden cap). Tres Nuit and Craze are also popular Armaf colognes that offer a pleasant scent for a very low price.
A lot has been discussed and written about Armaf. This oriental fragrance brand (based in the United Arab Emirates) has taken the world by storm. It offers clones and unique fragrances at a decent price. Some of them even last longer than you’d expect from cheap cologne.
Since there are so many Armaf perfumes (over 130), it can be difficult to choose just a few to try out. If you’re new to the brand, you can start with Club de Nuit. Otherwise, almost all other Armaf fragrances on this list are worth getting at any moment into your perfume journey.
The Best Armaf Colognes Still in Production
Armaf perfumes are made in their hundreds. Some of them aren’t easy to find while others are completely out of production. Here are your best chances of securing an Armaf perfume that smells good and choose a scent you can actually wear.
1. Armaf Club de Nuit Intense Men
Club de Nuit Intense is a very strong perfume for men and the most popular Armaf fragrances out there. It’s characterized by a very strong lemon opening (probably the strongest to date) and a fruity smoke dry-down with high to very high projection.
This perfume is still polarizing, even if it’s so popular. I’ve met people who hated it. Others say it’s the only Armaf cologne for men they wear.
Lemon, pineapple, black currant, bergamot, and apple are its opening notes.
Birch, jasmine, and rose are its mid notes.
Musk, ambergris, patchouli, and vanilla are its base notes.
The opening is a bit harsh. The lemon splash feels very synthetic and troublesome if you’re expecting something mild.
After about 30 minutes, the lemon opening starts to fade and you start to smell the pineapple and the smoky birch. However, this fragrance continues to project for 10+ hours. You will smell it on your skin the second day so I’d say apply 1 spray only if you’re out to social events.
Pros
- Excellent for those who love intense perfumes
- Unique presentation
- Suitable for men of any age
Cons
- Lemon and bergamot notes are too concentrated
2. Armaf Club de Nuit Intense for Women
If you love flowers, spices, and patchouli, you will be intrigued by the Club de Nuit Intense version for women.
It starts with rose, saffron, and geranium.
Nutmeg, pepper, violet, and caraway are its mid notes.
Intense patchouli, vanilla, oud, and amber are its base notes.
For rose and patchouli fans, this is going to smell interesting. But the agarwood note in the composition is also intense. Recommended for young women who like to dress up, this perfume lasts at least 8 hours
Pros
- It gets compliments
- Good rose-patchouli interpretation
- Still different to Noir de Noir
Cons
- It can smell like Vicks vaporub on some women
3. Armaf Oros Pour Femme
Oros is a sub-brand of Armaf and it’s significantly different but also very appealing. Oros Pour Femme is an Armaf perfume for women that smells simply incredible and different from most perfumes made today.
It debuts with pear, lily, and bergamot.
Mid accords include tuberose, ylang-ylang, and jasmine.
Amber, patchouli, and white musk are its base accords.
Feminine, heavy, opulent, and sweet, this is the type of perfume you want to choose when you want to stand out with a different scent.
Pros
- Largely underappreciated in some countries
- Dense composition but soft to the nose
- Ideal for cool weather
Cons
- A bit more expensive than other Armaf fragrances
4. Armaf Tres Nuit for Men
Many see Tres Nuit as identical to Creed Green Irish Tweed. But it’s a bit sweeter and it holds its ground. Masculine and versatile, this cologne can be easily seen as a signature scent.
Lemon verbena, iris, and lemon are their top notes.
Violet, lavender, and spicy notes are there in the dry down.
Ambergris and sandalwood are its base notes.
With a fresh smell, it almost feels like a clean soap on your skin. Longevity is also going to make you wonder why you spend so much on other colognes. It lasts around 10 hours on the skin.
Pros
- Mild projection recommended for the office
- Fresh ‘out of the shower’ scent
- Excellent value
Cons
- Some say it’s a clone
5. Armaf Craze for Men
Almond and vanilla are the main notes of Armaf Craze. This perfume is said to have been inspired by Pegasus by Parfums de Marly or by Dior Poison. But it gets a slightly distinct vibe with a bit less sweetness than Pegasus.
A strong heliotrope smell opens up the fragrance together with cumin, and bergamot.
Bitter almond, jasmine, lavender, and sage are in mid accords.
Vanilla, amber, and sandalwood are its base notes.
If you like sweet oriental fragrances for the fall or wintertime, Armaf Craze is among the cheap favorites and it lasts about 5 hours.

- Smooth almond dry down scent

- Not the best quality bottle

Plum, gardenia, orange, and bergamot are its opening notes.
Jasmine, lily of the valley, rose, and saffron is its mid accords.
Vanilla, patchouli, woods, and musk are its base notes.
Dominated by fruits such as plum and vanilla sweetness, this scent creates a creamy blend for gardenia and jasmine to sit on.

- Sexy and subtle
- Suitable for mature women
Cons
- A bit similar to Escada Cherry in The Air
10. Armaf Hunter for Men
Made for summer and fall, Armaf Hunter is an underrated men’s cologne from the famous perfume house. It smells similar to Lacoste White, which is another good sporty fragrance for the summer.
Perfume notes include grapefruit, cedar, rosemary, and cardamom.
Ylang-ylang, tuberose, and olibanum are its mid accords.

- Fresh Armaf gym fragrance
- Quite distinct even as a clone

- Harsh in the opening
New Armaf Colognes Released in 2020 and early 2021
This Armaf Perfume review is now updated with 2020 fragrances from this amazing house. The Best Armaf cologne now has new options for you to consider.
1. Armaf Club de Nuit Sillage
Club de Nuit Sillage is the most discussed Best Armaf cologne since the end of 2020. This perfume is said to be a clone of Creed’s Silver Mountain Water but many believe it to be better. It smells like Silver Mountain Water in the drydown and it dominates longevity like a true Armaf cologne.
This Armaf cologne for men impresses as a mildly citrus and a potent floral perfume that resembles some of the early batches of Silver Mountain Water. 2-3 sprays of the perfume are enough to leave true silage behind you wherever you go for the entire day.
Bergamot, black currant, lemon, lime, violet leaf, and ginger are its opening notes.
Rose, iris, and jasmine are its very intense floral accords.
Ambroxan, musk, cedar, and sandalwood are its base accords.
So what’s the big deal about these notes? The big deal is that it seems Armaf has reached a certain perfume-making maturity in which it creates a perfume that is ‘better than the original’.
There is a certain inky vibe about Creed’s SMW. Perfumes that smell like ink are so rare that they seem almost impossible to replicate.
Yet, Armaf combined iris, rose, and ambroxan base to create an ink accord that is photorealistic and some would even say better than the one from Creed.
As other Armaf perfume reviews have notes, this fragrance lasts long. It arguably lasts around 4 hours with only 2 sprays.
- Club De Nuit Sillage by Armaf is a Floral Woody Musk fragrance for women and men
- Top notes are Bergamot, Black Currant, Lemon, Lime, Violet Leaf and Ginger
- Middle notes are Rose, Iris and Jasmine
- Base notes are Musk, Ambroxan, Sandalwood and Cedar
- Perfect for daily w
2. Armaf Odyssey Femme White
If you like Lalique Fleur de Cristal you’re going to like Armaf Oddysey Femme White Edition. This Armaf perfume for women smells like white flowers. It’s ideal for spring and summer and it can be a new Armaf perfume for women to consider going into the summer.
Greens and orange notes open this perfume.
Tuberose, Indian jasmine, and honeysuckle are its base accords.
Orris, sandalwood, and vanilla are their base accords for longevity.
As a whole, it can be considered as a perfume that smells like tuberose or perfume that smells like jasmine more than a perfume that smells like honeysuckle.
This erotic perfume for women is certainly an ideal Armaf perfume for dates.
It lasts between 3 and 4 hours on the skin, but date perfumes for women shouldn’t last longer some would argue.
- Launched by the design house of Armaf
- This amber floral fragrance has a blend of tuberose, honeysuckle, jasmine, green notes, orange, orris root, sandalwood, and vanilla notes
- It is long lasting fragrance
- Increase attraction and skin friendly fragrance
