ARMAF, Club De Nuit Woman 105ml Eau De Parfum

Product Information

With CdNI the rose is a shade brighter and add that to the matter of being less patchouli as well it overall makes a lighter fragrance; its harsher opening too reveals the quality difference further as NdN is smoother from first spray all the way through. Resembles some sort of expensive dark chocolate filled with a rose liqueur accompanied with dirty undertones (patchouli) in the dry down. I shall heed some of the advice here and keep this somewhere dark for a few months and come back to it. I just got this less than a week ago and it may be too soon to give a final verdict but OMG I'm in love. After several hours, the strength begins to mellow and you are left with the same beautiful exiting essence that you get with NdN after only about 30 minutes.

Mostly a night fragrance although sometimes I can get away with wearing it on the daytime (do NOT overspray). I expect it to improve with time (it already has, in about a week), like most Middle Eastern perfumes. I had high expectations for this scent, expecting it to be a clone of Tom Ford Noir de Noir, which I very much liked.I do not get the citrus smell , I mainly get the patchouli and powdery scent which I don't mind at all. I do smell the powdery effect but other than that all I get is a citrusy smell like an old perfume almost gone bad.

I haven’t tried Noir de Noir by TF but I’m glad I found this before I spent hundreds if this is a dupe; I spent around 10% of TF!

I can smell the Rose, the geranium and the Amber which makes it a little sweet, just the right amount of fresh. So far this blend feels super stuffy and I almost give up upon my bottle I just received in the mail today, BUT few minutes later I suddenly smell what I desired to, INCENSE all over the place with green hints of geranium and I am close to be convinced this is the witchy juice I am coming for as it settles into a persistent patchouli-rose combination, then the top notes emerge again and I am let down before the pyramid reaches its bottom, can’t figure out whether it’s a boozy, chocolatey or earthy profile - maybe truffle doesn’t like me that much or I just don’t like oud for example at all.Then there is enough rose and oud to know that they’re in there, and its mainly vanilla and amber with some patchouli for the next few hours. When you receive this it smell way too Citrusy so let this sit and rest because it smells a bit cloying. CdN also has a distinct powdery amber note making the fragrance lean more feminine, which makes sense since Armaf has marketed this fragrance as being for women.
