Armaf Club De Nuit Intense Man CDNIM is a very popular perfume. There is a good chance that you are a loyal fan of Creed Aventus and that you have a hard time accepting the fact that there are perfume clones already in existence. You, on the other hand, are still curious about whether or not Armaf Club de Nuit Intense Man is, in fact, that fantastic.
What I really wanted to say was that Armaf Club De Nuit Intense Man CDNIM is not only more popular than Creed’s masterpiece, but it is also quite possibly one of the most popular perfumes on earth right now. This is what I meant when I said that it was excellent.
As someone who is passionate about scent, I attempted to avoid Club de Nuit for a number of years as if it were a plague. However, as I grew older, I realized that it was impossible to ignore the masses.
In 2021, despite the fact that I was aware of this scent prior to purchasing it, my brother, who is a fan of Creed Aventus, managed to persuade me that it was much more impressive than I had anticipated.
At this moment, you do not have the time to read the review, do you? Don’t be concerned! I will now provide my five quick takes:
The greatest clone of Creed Aventus is currently available on the market.
The composition is intricate and profound, and it has a wonderful dryness.
It is recommended for use both during the day and at night as a perfume.
Products manufactured by Armaf are not subject to any kind of quality monitoring.
It is the perfume that receives the highest praise on the market.
Permit me to share my experience with this Armaf over the past several months, and let’s finally put an end to the mystery that has surrounded the perfume clone that has garnered the most attention and caused the most controversy throughout the world.
Brand and Perfume History: Armaf
Armaf is a Middle Eastern company from the United Arab Emirates working under the Sterling-Perfume umbrella that also distributes other brands such as:
Jenny Glow
Cosmo Oros
Sea Pearl
– Flavia
– Havex
– Hamidi
By using Sterling as their distributor, Armaf is able to produce their perfume in France and thus ship it around the world.
Armaf History:
The brand Sterling Parfums was created in 1998 to provide a diverse range of perfumes aligned to market and client needs. Since its inception, Sterling Parfums has built an enviable reputation as one of the largest and leading perfume companies in the Middle East, supplying its products globally.
As for Armaf, finding online sources about the company’s history has been quite challenging, and maybethat is a sign why some perfume aficionados avoid the brand itself.
Thankfully, I have found one resource about the brand’s history, perfume cologne, but please keep in mind that the following information may or may not be 100% accurate due to the company’s veil of mystery that surrounds it:
- The brand started out as a company manufacturing high-quality perfume bottles for designer perfume brands in the Middle East.
- At some point, the brand decided to create perfumes for certain designer brands while gaining the needed experience to start their own perfume business.
- According to the same website, the brand first focused on the South African market due to its sweet perfumes synergizing well with the African climate.
- After the brand gained fame in South Africa, its popularity and experience converged into expansion in other parts of the world.
While the above-mentioned statements may lack widely available information on the web, what cannot be disproved is that the first fragrances they released and documented were Futura La Homme and Futura La Homme Intense back in 2010.
That and the fact that the company is most famous for being completely and 100% a clone brand, for better or for worse,
Other popular perfumes by the brand:

- Silage

- Urban Man
- Urban Man Elixir
- White Imperiale

Armaf Club de Nuit Intense Man Story
My first thought was to completely skip the introduction about Armaf Club De Nuit Intense Man CDNIM and go straight into the visual presentation about the perfume and the review itself due to the lack of almost any kind of useful information.
Given that everything this perfume brand release is a clone of other popular scents on the market, it is no wonder why they hide the perfumer’s names and often the release dates.
On the positive side, while there might be other less-known brands that don’t invest in general usage safety of the perfumes, the ingredients found in Sterling perfumes are safe to use, and I’m yet to hear from anyone who got any kind of rash or skin allergy from using their products.
Armaf Club De Nuit Intense Man CDNIM was released in 2015, and the whole collection is comprised of seven different releases that have no touching points to each other when it comes to the smell itself.

My Experience With Perfume
The Armaf Club De Nuit Intense Man CDNIM starts out with a strong and overpowering lemon scent that doesn’t remind me of household cleaning products, some may say, and it is pleasing almost from the start.
The whole combination of fruit accords at the top notes rounds up the fragrance, and it mellows down pretty quickly to an Aventus pineapple-like aroma. Other fruits are non-existent here, besides bergamot, which was used to mimic pineapple.
What struck me the most was the scent progression and how something that opens up completely different than the fragrance it is copying was how closely they get with each passing minute.
I remember having an Aventus decant back in 2015 and testing out different batch variations through the years, but I’d be hard-pressed to recommend it in the current formulation to CDNI here.
Armaf Club De Nuit Intense Man CDNIM may be composed completely of affordable aroma chemicals, but it is so good for this price that you can’t ignore it. The hype is real.
Lovers of Hermes Concentre D’Orange Verte will find striking similarities in the opening, as the citrus notes are of almost the same quality here.
Last but not least, the fresh and tart opening starts to evaporate only after a good 30 minutes or so.
Performance
The fragrance performs like a beast, and don’t get confused if you get nose-blind to it due to the high dose of ambroxan inside it. Others will smell you even 10 hours after you have sprayed it.
Hot or cold, CDNIM performs like a 500-buck fragrance. Projection and sillage leave a big trail behind you long after you have been there, so no worries there.
Dress code and occasions
I’m wearing this fragrance with jeans, polo shirts, tracksuits, and suits, and it works. The timeless aroma here would work if it were released 30 years ago, and will work anywhere in the next 30 years as well.
This highly versatile fragrance will outperform many of its more expensive warm-weather counterparts, and I would recommend it as your main summer perfume no matter which part of the world you live in.
Almost no one will know that you aren’t wearing the “real deal”.

This review has been probably the easiest one so far I have done. No other fragrance comes as an easier recommendation than CDNI when the price is factored into everything else.
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.
If the money isn’t a problem, get the original, but in any other situation, and even as an alternative to Aventus, get this perfume and enjoy the experience.
