The Brand

Armaf

Armaf has 361 perfumes indexed on Scendira, launched between 2015 and 2026. Across the 355 mapped perfumes in our data, citrus is the top accord (44%), followed by woody (35%), aromatic (27%), and fresh-spicy and fruity (24% each), giving the house a fresher, sharper signature than most Arabic gourmand-leaning brands. Musk, vanilla, and bergamot lead on notes. Prices run $11.03 to $120, with a $32.41 median, keeping the range accessible. Armaf is the only brand in this set to skew masculine (46% of the mapped catalogue), with feminine (33%) and unisex (21%) behind. By community mentions, Club de Nuit Intense Man is the dominant name, with 1,512 mentions, well ahead of Club de Nuit Milestone (515) and Club de Nuit Sillage (463).

Is Armaf Right for You?

Best for: shoppers who want a fresher, citrus-aromatic Arabic house built around one of the most-discussed perfumes in our entire catalogue, Club de Nuit Intense Man, at an accessible $11-$120 range. Sample first if: you're buying on the Club de Nuit name alone; the wider catalogue skews more citrus-fresh than the smoky-woody register that line is known for. Skip if: you want a strongly feminine or gourmand-sweet house; Armaf leans masculine and fresh.
