Armaf Club de neit precieux

🧴 Fragrance Profile & Notes

Type & Style: A unisex (though marketed more toward men) amber-woody fragrance with fruity and fresh upfront touches. According to listings, it’s categorized as “oriental / musky / woody / sweet”. 

Note breakdown:

• Top Notes: Pineapple, pear, caramel, lemon, bergamot, pink pepper, black pepper. 

• Middle / Heart Notes: Oak moss (mousse de chêne), white woods, anise, lily of the valley, jasmine. 

• Base Notes: Ambroxan, vanilla, leather, white musk, amber, patchouli, cedar. 

Character / Vibe:

• Opens with a fruity-sweet burst (pineapple + pear + caramel) tempered by some citrus and spice.

• Transitions into a more woody-mossy floral heart, with oak-moss giving some chypre character.

• Dries down into a warm, creamy woody/amber base with vanilla, leather and ambroxan.

• Many reviewers note a vibe close to the “Aventus / Aventus Absolu” DNA. 

• Some comments:

  “The first fragrance bottle that I’ve finished… Precieux I… First impression- The DNA is intact but there is an added sweetness, and the harsh pineapple of the CDNIM has been toned way down…”
  So it seems like a somewhat refined, smoother take compared to some previous brands in that family.

🕒 When & Where to Wear It

Best Seasons:

• Fall & winter — the warmth, the richer base notes (vanilla, ambroxan, leather) make it especially suited for cooler evenings.

• Also suitable for spring evenings. In hot/humid daytime I’d dial back usage (because the fruity opening + woods might feel heavy).

Best Time of Day & Occasions:

• Evening, nights out, dinner dates, special occasions where you want something noticeable.

• Can also be used for formal to semi-formal settings.

• Because of the fresh/fruity opening, it might also work for daytime use if you apply lightly (though the base is richer).

Where to Avoid / Use Lightly:

• Very hot daytime outdoors: the richness + projection may be a bit much.

• Very casual or minimalist scent environments (if you prefer something subtle).

• Close-confined spaces where strong projection might bother others.

✅ Performance & My Thoughts

Longevity & Projection:

• Many users report good performance, strong opening projection for the first 1-3 hours. 

• Some reddit users say performance drops faster for them: e.g.,

  “Tried it … the performance is ass on me … Projection is just intimate and longevity is pretty bad, only lasted 5-6 hours on clothes…” 

• Others say it lasts very well on fabric/paper.
  So it's somewhat skin-/body-chemistry dependent.

My Take:

• If you like that fruity-pineapple + woods + vanilla/leather combo (especially if you like the “Aventus style” or similar), this is a very good value option.

• The opening is more approachable (less harsh) than some earlier “pineapple+lemon” openings in that DNA.

• But because of that, it might feel less bold or “niche” for some.

• Very good for someone who wants something bold but not overwhelmingly niche.
