Armaf is one of the popular clone houses. Armaf began as a company that produced high-quality perfume bottles for designer brands in the Middle East. Eventually, they expanded their operations to also create perfumes for these brands, which set the stage for their future success. After the brand gained fame in South Africa, its popularity and experience converged into expansion in other parts of the world. Personally, I prefer Montblanc Explorer, and Mancera Cedrat Boise over Club de Nuit Intense Man, due to their higher-quality smell, but guess what? Neither of those will get you such head-turning compliments as this one.

That, and the fact that the company is most famous for being completely and 100% a clone brand, for better or for worse. On the base, Club de Nuit has maintained the vague character of the top but the middle stage is still evident. Truly an essence of attraction, a cloud that never cease to invite and captivate. A somewhat darker rose is added to this - the previously spicy mixture becomes sweeter, heavier - and is therefore nothing for rose reslis or ornamental dolls. The dry down is all about the smoke, musk, hint of citruses, and touch of oakmoss. The particular note that gets you compliments each time you wear this perfume is synthetic ambergris – ambroxan. The night weaves a golden-brown net from all these different fragrance nuances, which lays itself possessively around me and stays there.

Club de Nuit Intense" is the name of this little predator: a delightful creature that should not be underestimated. The only reason why I cannot approve of it as a holy grail scent is because of the obvious- it is a clone perfume. Pros and Cons So, no matter which perfumes you use from Sterling, always wipe the excess liquid which a clean cloth left after spraying the perfume to postpone the bottle deterioration as long as possible. Club de Nuit Intense Woman" is a 95% clone for this. The biggest difference can still be made out in the top note, where CDNIW possibly a very little less present, possibly even something more portable comes across. But even here there is no real scent progression and the fragrance is in principle right at the beginning fully there. Now, if you want to frantically search for differences and put them into a few words, you could say CDNIW is less complex, maybe a little lighter and maybe doesn't quite reach that depth of the original. But maybe, just maybe, this is all imagination, because the brain says that a perfume for a tenth(!) of the price just HAS to be worse. The heart, however, feels what the nose conveys to it and this is a pleasantly warm, enveloping and at the same time uplifting sensation. The layman, just with a bit of distance, as most people will perceive this fragrance yes, will probably no difference between the two fragrances can perceive.

In addition, viscous vanilla intoxicates: it is no longer a "little fire" - it is already lively dancing flames that are just waiting to spread. the little animal with the pointed teeth nestles tightly, spreads its own heat, almost embraces its victim. So now I have a whole 105ml bottle in front of me, but at a fraction of the price TF calls up. Since both "Noir de Noir" and CDNIW have already been extensively described here, I would now like to go more into the direct comparison.

I have to say that by far, I’m yet to encounter worse quality control by a perfume brand, and I’m not the only one who has noticed this.
