Armaf Club De Nuit Precieux 1 Extrait De Parfum Premium Long Lasting Oriental Woody Fragrance For Men 55ML

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.

Fantastic option for a budget Absolu Aventus experience. I've also tried supremacy collector's edition, and this one is much closer from my comparison. It matches the scent profile including the fresh and spicy aspect, whereas SCE is much sweeter, moderately so on paper and much more on skinPrecieux is also is a more subtle projector which I personally prefer, the SCE pushes well past arm length and I don't like to present myself that way. Longevity improves with maturation but expect to let it sit for several weeks before it's truly wearable for a full day or nightCompared to Absolu Aventus, you can really only tell a difference when smelling directly side by side, and it's just a subtle improvement in note blend from Absolu. For a fraction of the cost, I'd say that's worth it. 10/10 for me and absolu-tly worth the more premium price/volume ratio for this one

Probably the only ME clone that I would get back up bottles of, and that's only for the purpose of having several bottles "maturing" as im using another one. Yes, this needs a bit of time. Out of the box, Precieux 1 performs well, and smells really good, though nothing special. Its familiar scent of Creed DNA is unmistakable, but fresh out of the box, it just smells like a higher quality variant of your standard CDNIM edt. 2 months in is when the magic comes. Now, you really get that smoky Aventus Absolu scent, with performance that can stand with the best of high end designers and niche frags. The stars of the show are the jasmine, oak moss, leather, and amber notes. Other reviews have noted that Precieux is fruity and more "playful" than Aventus/Absolu. I do not agree. Though quite fresh in the opening thanks to the CDNIM signature lemon opening (not harsh in this one), accompanied by a sweet pineapple note, i do not think this is a "fresher" take on Aventus Absolu. In the dry down, Precieux is ever so slightly "darker", and serious. This is a fragrance for the CEO, not the recent college grad that's just starting off his finance career. Precieux screams "boss", and demands your attention and respect. It is a versatile fragrance that can be worn anytime, anywhere. It projects, has an incredible scent bubble that lasts for hours on end, and the longevity is up there until your next wash. I get about 2+ hours of aggressive projection, 7 - 10 hours of sillage, and 20+ hours on your clothes.When you smell something like Precieux, it almost becomes criminal how much designers and niche frag houses charge you. Why would I want to spend $200-400+ on a fragrance that could be had for $40 ish?Just as an FYI; This is NOT a 1:1 of Aventus Absolu. The creed DNA is there, and it definitely comes quite close to what they say it's cloning. However, just because Precieux is not a 1:1 does NOT mean that it's not worth the pick up. Grab a bottle for yourself and see and smell what I mean. It's only $40 ish. Take a jab at it.

If you like that Aventus dna, this is a really beautiful well priced option. While more expensive than the original EDT or other CDN flankers, I think there is good value here. Its has a very smooth opening unlike the EDT which can be a little pungent off the rip. You can also tell this has a much higher perfume oil concentration it feels like a perfume oil but no issue with the sprayer, it does the job. Its really beautifully blended and I get a more subtle fruit/floral opening than the EDT and then it settles down into that very earthy mysterious base that feels like a mix of woods and incense to my nose. It's very hard to pick out individual notes it just makes a really nice bass heavy ground to the fragrance. Lasts around 8-10 hours for me but definitely sits closer to the skin while creating a nice scent bubble close to you. It's not a beast projector like the EDT, but to me that's ok. I love this scent profile and will keep both the EDT which is a bit more bombastic and youthful and this more mature, definitely higher quality version in my rotation. You're getting niche quality at a fraction of the price.

I RECOMMEND,I LOVE THE VANILLA FLAVOR , SIZE IS GOOD NO BOTTLE LEAK SMELLS FRESHNESS I LIKE THE BOTTLE DESIGN
