Club de Nuit Intense Man by Armaf

Club de Nuit Intense Man by Armaf: A "Before You Buy" Fragrance Review
Attention, fragrance enthusiasts! If you've been eyeing Armaf's Club de Nuit Intense Man, strap in for a fun and insightful "before you buy" review that dives into this much-talked-about scent. Crafted in 2015, this woody spicy concoction has stirred the fragrance community, drawing comparisons and earning its spot as a beloved choice for many. But before you take the plunge, let's break down what makes Club de Nuit Intense Man tick, focusing on five crucial points including where to wear it and who should wear it to rake in those compliments.
The Scent Profile: Picture this - a blend of zesty lemon, pineapple, bergamot, black currant, and apple for starters, weaving into a heart of birch, jasmine, and rose, then settling into a base of musk, ambergris, patchouli, and vanilla. It's an aromatic journey from a bold citrus opening to a smoky, woody embrace, with a touch of sweetness. The transition from an initially synthetic sharpness to a more refined, smoky batch reminiscent of Aventus has left many in awe, despite its polarizing start.
Where to Wear It: Club de Nuit Intense Man shines in settings where its bold character can be appreciated. Perfect for evening outings, club nights, or special occasions during the cooler months. Its robust sillage makes it a standout choice for outdoor events too. However, the consensus from our community suggests a light hand when applying, as its strength can be overwhelming in close quarters or warmer climates.
Who Should Wear It: This fragrance suits the confident individual who's not afraid to make a statement. Its complex character leans more towards the adventurous soul, ideally someone in their late 20s and beyond. The wearer's persona should be as intense and layered as the fragrance itself, capable of carrying its boldness with ease. It's a hit among those who appreciate a fragrance that evolves over time, revealing different facets of its personality.
Getting Compliments: Yes, Club de Nuit Intense Man is a compliment magnet, especially post-dry-down. The trick to garnering admiration lies in understanding its potency - less is more. Applied sparingly, it leaves a captivating trail that's both mysterious and inviting. Wearers have reported an influx of positive attention, particularly in social settings where its unique scent profile cuts through the mundane.
Community Insights: Feedback from the fragrance community underscores its divisive nature - you either love it or you don't. The initial "harsh and synthetic" start is a common critique, yet many defend its evolving scent narrative, claiming it settles into something quite spectacular. A recurring piece of advice is to give it time to breathe; the dry down is where Club de Nuit Intense Man truly finds its stride. Interestingly, layering it with complementary scents like Armaf Untold has been a playful experiment for some, suggesting its versatility despite its strong identity.
In conclusion, Club de Nuit Intense Man by Armaf is not for the faint-hearted. It demands a wearer who embodies its intense, layered nature, and when worn in the right context, it promises an olfactory experience that's as rewarding as it is bold. Whether you're seeking to leave a lasting impression or simply enjoy a fragrance that evolves with you, this scent is worth considering. Just remember, a little goes a long way in unlocking its potential to enchant.

I bought this recently, and that “Intense” label is no joke. 2 sprays on my neck, and I had to drive my car with the windows down because it was so loud. Even a couple of hours later. The smell is killer, and I can definitely see this being a huge compliment getter in social settings such as a club or an informal party.

[@aimirul6999]

i use to work at a retail store and a colleague of mine sprayed cdni on me (my first time using perfume). at first i hate it cuz it gives me headache on the opening. but the drydown is where it performs! i had customers coming near me as i serve them. but i have to say the newer batch has been formulated, it’s not as great as it used to be imo. the old formulation is a beast, having a lifetime experience with this cologne

[@stoypiet]

Almost all the users of the EDT version said that it has a very good longevity, sillage, projection and performance. I sampled 2 sprays on my wrist od EDT but it lasted like 3 hours, a lot of people say it lasts on them around 6-8hrs. I don't want to risk, should i buy it and to hope it will have a good longevity, projection and sillage?

[@ScentsWithBenefits]

Remember, you can always apply the fragrance to your hair or your clothing to make it last longer on top of that. After you shower, you can put on moisturizer or body oil and then sprayed it on top to also increase the longevity of the fragrance.

[@AzeemSarwar-c4p]

New batches are not good. It lasts 2-3 hours. More harsh lemon and less smokiness in new batches.

[@TheFullSalesCycle]

I got the EDT a few months ago. Terrible. The dry down smells like a bag of cooking herbs. No more no less. That said, I have EDT of CH 212 VIP and it smells way different from the EDP but not to the CDN level 🤣 Heard so many great things about it. So disappointed, honestly I could throw it away.

This shit has definitely been changed or reformulated, I got a bottle in 2021 of the EDT right off the bat it was insanely good, not much lemon, light smoke with this crisp pine needle, xmas ish scent with vanilla and musk. Was absolutely bomb!! I wish I knew what batch it was but never looked, ….unfortunately I ran out of that bottle and got another one… and man WTF did they change, it’s not the same scent at all… it was like a dry smoked lemon peel and that’s it, even after months of no use never changed. I gave that bottle away and ordered 2 more bottles last week, making sure one was (made in France) and the other (made in UAE) both batches were 05/2024. And again not at all the same scent. Just straight dried out lemon peel that was smoked. I wish I knew what was changed and I wish I could find the scent of my first bottle… have tried every other Aventus dupe and nothing comes close to that first bottle of armaf I got in 2021. I have 2 bottles of Aventus, yes my first 2021 bottle has some aventus dna but to this day best scent I have smelled was my first bottle of CDNIM in 2021. Picked up a canned body spray, just to see if it had the smell and scent of the first bottle I got (2021) and…. It was very close but slight different and also didn’t last but it brought back that amazing smell I was looking for. Don’t know why they changed the EDT. I’ve tried limited edition and EDP still not the same as the 2021 EDT If anyone knows what has changed or experienced same thing and has found something with that pine/xmas vanilla musk and lemon let me know!!

This DNA is massively overrated. The best of this DNA in my opinion is seen in Creed Aventus COLOGNE (not the Creed Aventus perfume) but Armaf's version is not far from the original - it feels dirtier, smokier and more raw but still good and worth buying because its cheap. I finished my bottle, enjoyed it for what it was and I have moved on. It's a good fragrance but nothing special and not signature worthy. I will still recommend it as a blind buy since its cheap and its very close to Creed Aventus so you get a taste of the original - but with the modest expectation of it being a good fragrance, and not a signature world-beater.
