Mandarin Sky is the most original of the Odysseys: a citrus that turns gourmand, which almost never happens.
— The opening is sunlit: mandarin and orange, with a sage that brings a green, dry note, and already a touch of saffron. The sage is what keeps the citrus from being a plain cologne.
— The heart swings over completely: caramel and tonka bean. It is unexpected after such a fresh start, and that is precisely what makes the fragrance interesting — the citrus turns into confectionery with no abrupt transition.
— The base brings it back to seriousness: vetiver, cedar and ambroxan. The vetiver dries the caramel out and keeps the ending from being cloying.
A mid-season fragrance that carries from day into evening, and it always surprises the people who smell it — nobody expects caramel after mandarin. Two sprays.
The notes
Top — Sage, mandarin, orange, saffron

Club de Nuit Intense Man is the fragrance that built Armaf's reputation, and it remains by far the house's best seller.
— The opening is bright and fruity: pineapple up front, backed by blackcurrant, apple, bergamot and lemon. The pineapple is the whole signature — juicy, lightly tart, impossible to mistake for anything else.
— The heart brings the contrast: birch, jasmine and rose. Birch is a dry, lightly resinous wood that hardens the fruit, and it is that shift from juicy to dry that gives the fragrance its character.
— The base is warm and tenacious: patchouli, musk, vanilla and ambergris. The ambergris is what gives it that warm-skin sensation that lasts for hours.
A daytime and evening fragrance that works all year, and one of the easiest to love there is — the pineapple opening disarms everybody. Worth knowing: this is an eau de toilette, not an eau de parfum, which is why the opening is so sharp. Longevity is excellent all the same. Two sprays — it projects hard.
The notes
Top — Pineapple, blackcurrant, apple, bergamot, lemon

Urban Man Elixir is the most concentrated and the woodiest version of the Urban Man line.
— The opening is clean and floral: bergamot and pink pepper, with jasmine and orange blossom already present. A well-dressed start, with no surprise effect, announcing a serious fragrance.
— The heart is the richest in the whole Armaf selection: lavender, geranium, saffron, elemi and vetiver. Elemi is a resin with a peppery, lemony scent, and together with the saffron it gives the lavender an oriental turn instead of the classic European fougère.
— The base is dry and powerful: ambroxan, patchouli, amber, cedar and labdanum. Ambroxan is the molecule that gives that impression of salt and warm skin, and it is what carries the fragrance a long way.
An evening and winter fragrance, for someone who wants to be noticed. Projection is strong — two sprays maximum, and not on clothes if you are spending the day in a closed office. This is a compliment-getter, not a discreet fragrance.
The notes
Top — Bergamot, pink pepper, jasmine, orange blossom
Heart — Lavender, geranium, saffron, elemi, vetiver
Base — Ambroxan, patchouli, amber, cedar, labdanum
