Armaf Club De Nuit Precieux 1 EDP, 55-mL. (Absolu Aventus Twist)

Yet again Armaf comes through with a quality scent. Bottle is great, atomizer is meh, and the overall display of the product is stunning. I swear they spend as much on the presentation and box this bottle comes in as much as they do the quality of the oils used. At the end of the day this is supposed to be a Creed Absolu clone. While not having smelled the ~$400+ bottle original, I cannot say that it is or is isn't. However, what you have here, if it is a clone of Absolu, is fantastic, of good quality and smells amazing. It is pineapple heavy with some touch of woods (birch), white florals, and some pepper through the dry down. It is layered through the dry down very well. In the end you have musk to give it longevity, and the pineapple and woods remain through the life of the spray. Longevity seems to be in the 6-7 hour range with a solid 2 hours of projection. Value is great, bottle size is understandably less since it is designed to be of higher quality overall. This is a summer banger, will hold up in mild weather for sure through spring, early summer, and fall. I am not sure if this would hold up too well in 90+ degree heat - but time will tell. Overall, I have this and the Nitro Black Intense and I appreciate them both. I would say this is a slight favorite overall due to the sweetness, but I think both options are fantastic and you would not go wrong with either. If you have one, no need for the other at the same time - unless you are a scent addict (like me) and just absolutely have to have them both.
