9 Best Smelling Armaf Colognes

Armaf is a designer, which certainly knows how to bring the quality, for an extremely affordable price. Yes, many of its scents are essentially cheaper versions of well known scents. However, they do indeed have some more unique original fragrances, as well. In this post, I wanted to give 9 perfumes for men, which could be considered the best of Armaf.

There are many more worthwhile colognes, but this should be a great starting place for those looking to get into this brand’s catalog.

What are the Best Armaf Colognes for Men?

Clean Green Floral

ARMAF TRES NUIT 3.4 EAU DE TOILETTE SPRAY FOR MEN— Tres Nuit has a similar aroma to Cool Water, while taking a much more floral approach, to get there. Iris, violet, and lemon verbena, are highlights of this fragrance which come together to create a fairly solid dupe of our target scent. This one has a more powdery finish and less of the soapy sandalwood.

It is fresh and probably a smoother interpretation, of this sort of style. A very nice lemon fragrance, with sandalwood, and the powdery floral notes. Another one, which lacks the aquatic element. Still, a very nice wear for the price.

Bleu Fragrance

Armaf Tag Him 3.4 Eau De Toilette Spray for Men– Tag Him has a very heavy overlap with the ingredients of the Bleu de Chanel, and thus, shares quite a close aroma with it. The citrus, ginger, mint, cedar, pink pepper, vetiver, and sandalwood are all here.

Is this Armaf, an exact replica of BdC? Not entirely, but it does occupy a similar space, and can do wonders at this price point.

You don’t get the same quality or nuance, this is a nice citrus with spice, and without that incense smokiness of Bleu. Not as much depth or layered spice effect, but still a good overall wear.

Radical Kick

Radical Brown by Armaf– I do want to include some that aren’t just Club de Nuit and Tres Nuit flankers or special editions. Radical Brown is actually a very nice fragrance that utilizes tobacco and spice to great effect.

That opening has a great kick of mostly cinnamon, but with some pepper and other spice. This will smoothen out, as you get out of that beginning act, with the inclusion of amber and labdanum. This pairs well with that rich pipe tobacco creating a warm embrace that hugs your skin.

The aroma does have a cherry sort of aroma here. Not sure if that’s actually a note or not, but it does draw comparisons with the various Guerlain scents. Though, it’s not really the same to my nose. Somewhat related, but Radical Brown doesn’t quite try to be exactly like anything.

The Dior Dupe

F Armaf Ventana Pour Homme Eau De Parfum Spray for Men, 3.4 Fluid Ounce– If you want something similar to Dior’s Sauvage, down market, Ventana by Armaf is a really good affordable option. Ventana has a spicy quality to it, but definitely not the same level of pepper intensity as our comparison.

This Armaf has a fruitier open with a nice amount of lavender. You get grapefruit and a light mandarin, with woody notes, and a weaker amber.

Ventana isn’t as much of a sillage beast, as what we’re trying to replace, but it does have very good performance. Plus, after the first hour it smells very very close to Sauvage, all for under $30.

Nightlife Scent

Armaf Club de Nuit Man Eau de Toilette Spray 3.6 Ounce– Club de Nuit is a really good value play. This one often gets compared to 1 Million, it isn’t as sweet, but has an amber-laden profile.

That being said, it isn’t a super heavy spiced cologne, but it is there. It has a soft powdery quality at times, during the dry down, with a nice touch of leather. Club de Nuit has amazing performance for this price range and is an obvious choice for younger men who want a nightlife sort of cologne.

Most Popular Armaf Cologne

Armaf Club De Nuit Intense Man EDT Men New in Box, 3.6 Fl Oz This is the best-selling offering from Armaf, and that is likely because of it resemblance to, Creed’s Aventus. I totally understand the comparison, which is definitely intentional.

Between the two, Club de Nuit Intense is much heavier with lemon, than the Creed is, and doesn’t have the same level of pineapple. Also, while it does share the birch note, Aventus always struck me as a much drier scent with a heavier smoky quality.

Both are still present in Club Intense, just not to the same extent. Performance wise, this Armaf is pretty top notch.

Fresh Lyrics

Tres Nuit Lyric– A flanker of Tres Nuit, that keeps the same fresh and somewhat aquatic style, that does favor Acqua di Gio Profondo. It starts off fresher and more aquatic than that one, with a greenish cypress heavy style in the dry down.

The opening is pretty good, with the citrus and aquatic notes. Rosemary gives it a fresh spiciness. Same notes as Profondo, just not exactly the same. The transition into the middle act and the dry down is when Lyric is at its best. Still has the remnants of the aquatic aspects, but calmer with the lavender influence.

Performance here is fine, just nothing amazing, when compared with some others from this brand. Good value, however.

Clean Powder with an Edge

Armaf Voyage Perfume EDP 100 ML For Men– Voyage is a clean and somewhat spicy fragrance with lavender and iris providing a calming powdery quality. Voyage has a nice dose of grapefruit, up top, and it is joined by a spiced trio of cinnamon, sage, and a very light cardamom.

The cardamom is later joined by tonka bean, which gives Voyage its warmer and enveloping qualities. That of course, plays very well off of the fresh spice and purely clean citrus.

Very well put together, all around, and a nice scent that can venture into most climates (except the heat of summer).

Dark Sweet and Spice

Armaf Signature Night 3.4 oz Eau De Parfum Spray for Men– A fragrance that is in the same family as fragrances like, Man in Black and Spicebomb. Closer to Man in Black, without the heavy rum opening, and with less spice.

This is smoother, a bit sweeter, and has a powdery iris note which is a great addition.

I love the fragrance of Man in Black, so, Signature Night was naturally going to be a scent that I enjoy. This is the lighter and less in your face version of the Bvlgari cologne, but still has enough of the appealing spiciness, to make it worthwhile.
