10 Best Armaf Perfumes
The best Armaf perfumes for women offer designer scents without the designer price tag. We review 10 incredible Armaf fragrances that every girl should consider.
1. Club De Nuit Eau de Parfum
Review
Club de Nuit Woman is an intoxicatingly floral/fruity fragrance that exudes a Coco Mademoiselle vibe.
Opening with top notes of bergamot, grapefruit, peach, and orange, Club de Nuit is fresh and sparkling. The heart notes are subtle, round, and floral; the geranium, rose, and jasmine bloom over time while the lychee provides lightness. The base notes of vetiver, vanilla, patchouli, and musk give the blend depth and richness that temper its femininity with a smoky, woodiness.
Perfect for spring days, Club de Nuit has a strong sillage and surprising durability. You can expect 6 or 7 more hours of wear from one application of this fragrance.
Beautifully presented in a clear, square bottle with a gold topper and dangling gold charm. Club de Nuit looks as luxurious as it feels; the clean lines and sparkling embellishments give it opulence.
In short, this is a delightful feminine fragrance with a classic twist. The patchouli/rose combo with a hit of vanilla and citrus really stand out.
Top Notes:
Bergamot, Grapefruit, Peach, Orange
Mid Notes:
Geranium, Jasmine, Litchi, Rose
Base Notes:
Musk, Patchouli, Vanilla, Vetiver

2. Club De Nuit Intense Eau de Parfum
Review
Club de Nuit Intense is a spicier, darker version of the original. By using spices, florals, and resinous scents, it takes the more traditionally feminine notes of the original. It’s more sensual for an almost Tom Ford Noir de Noir feel.
The top notes of geranium, saffron, and rose make the first wave of fragrance delightfully delicate and fragrant. As they fade, the sturdier, more vibrant middle notes of pepper, caraway, nutmeg, and violet bloom, making the heart of this rich and dark. The base of amber, oud, patchouli, and vanilla are stunning.
An ideal fragrance for nighttime wear in colder seasons. This is a durable perfume with enormous sillage; you can expect 5 to 6 hours of wear from one application (unless you are particularly active).
The bottle is much the same as the original. Still, while the gold topper and dangling charm remain the same down to the sparkling gem embellishment, the bottle itself is made up of plain black glass.
The overall result is a seductive and striking fragrance in both looks and scent.
Top Notes:
Geranium, Saffron, Rose
Mid Notes:
Caraway, Nutmeg, Violet, Pepper
Base Notes:
Amber, Agarwood, Vanilla, Patchouli

3. Odyssey Femme Eau de Parfum
Review
Released in 2020, Odyssey Femme Eau de Parfum is a feminine white floral fragrance with juicy plum and vanilla that makes it complex and durable. Shares many notes (aside from plum) with Carolina Herrera Good Girl.
With fruity top notes of bergamot and plum combined with gardenia, Odyssey Femme has a fruity/floral opening. This soon blends into a floral heart of Lily of the valley that’s gently lifted by saffron.
Fear not, as base notes of cacao and tonka bean provide a chocolate/vanilla hit that balances nicely with the pretty florals.
Best worn in colder weather evenings of autumn/winter, this seductive blend is perfect for more formal events.
This is a durable perfume with reasonable sillage and projection. Performance-wise, you can expect 5+ hours of wear before it fades.
The presentation is nicely done, although it does remind me of a fancy coffee mug or my grandmother ashes!
Top Notes:
Plum, Gardenia, Bergamot, Tuberose, Honey
Mid Notes:
Lily-of-the-Valley, Jasmine, Saffron, Rose
Base Notes:
Cacao, Tonka Bean, Musk

4. La Femme Eau de Parfum
Review
Le Femme is a floral, fruity, and youthful fragrance for women. Although considered by some fans to be a dupe of Kilian’s Forbidden Games, we feel this beautiful fragrance stands on its own two feet.
The opening of gardenia, orange, plum, and bergamot give the first wash of fragrance a sharp, slightly bitter scent which is underpinned by the classic, powdery floral of the gardenia.
As the middle notes of lily-of-the-valley, jasmine rose, and saffron bloom, however, that sharpness fades. At its heart, this is a classically feminine perfume. The woody notes, vanilla, patchouli, and musk give the scent a slightly off-centre feel that prevents it from becoming dated and dull.
Perfect for autumnal days, Le Femme is an alluring and elegant fragrance that has considerable sillage and serious staying power.
Expect a solid 7+ hours of wear from one application, making this a perfect day-to-night scent. Fantastic price/performance.
The simple, tall bottle is prettied up with a black and red centre wrap and gold charm which matches the shining bottle.
To sum up Le Femme in a single word- decadent!
Top Notes:
Gardenia, Orange, Plum, Bergamot
Mid Notes:
Lily-of-the-Valley, Jasmine, Saffron, Rose
Base Notes:
Patchouli, White Musk, Vanilla, Woody Notes

5. La Rosa Eau de Parfum
Review
Despite its name, La Rosa is not your grandmothers’ rose water; it’s fresh, floral, spicy, and youthful. Fans suggest it sits somewhere between La vie est Belle and Flowerbomb, this is one fragrance to fall in love with.
The opening notes of black currant, pear, pink pepper, and bergamot make the opening scent spicy, fresh, and juicy. A floral heart of tuberose, jasmine, orange blossom, mimosa, and ylang-ylang begin to bloom. These gentle, sweet florals are timelessly beautiful and blend well with the base notes of praline, patchouli, vetiver, tonka bean, and hazelnut.
The result is a complex and elegant fragrance which effortlessly blends the classic with the modern.
Good, all-round perfume, La Rosa can realistically be worn at any time. Nonetheless, this is a little less durable than many other Armaf fragrances. Sillage and projection are moderate with decent longevity of 5+ from each application.
Presented in a soft-edged bottle that contrasts varying shades of pink with signature Armaf gold, La Rosa is striking, elegant, and beautiful to both the eyes and nose.
Top Notes:
Blackcurrant, Pear, Pink Pepper, Bergamot
Mid Notes:
Jasmine, Orange Blossom, Mimosa, Tuberose, Ylang-Ylang
Base Notes:
Praline, Patchouli, Tonka Bean, Vetiver, Hazelnut

6. Vanity Femme Essence Eau de Parfum
Review
Vanity Femme Essence is one of the most striking female fragrances that Armaf has produced. Sultry yet sparkling, it was blended with the modern woman in mind. Often compared to Gucci Flora.
Opening with a fruity blast of bitter orange and peach blended and freshened by freesia and orange blossom, Vanity Femme Essence has a balanced and pleasant sillage. The heart notes of rose, magnolia, and jasmine bloom and fade quickly, letting the base notes of amber, musk, and vanilla takes precedence. As a result, this is a slightly dry and musky take on the classic, feminine fruity-floral fragrance.
Perfect for summer and fall days, this perfume has a strong sillage and decent staying power. You can expect 4+ hours wear from this perfume, even when you’re pretty active.
Vanity Femme Essence is presented in a stunning bottle. The short, oval glass bottle is topped with the shining, gold-tone metal which is so common with Armaf scents.
While simple, the overall effect is utterly luxurious and sensual. Highly recommended.
Top Notes:
Freesia, Orange Blossom, Peach, Bitter Orange
Mid Notes:
Jasmine, Magnolia, Rose
Base Notes:
Amber, Musk, Vanilla

7. Eternia Women Eau de Parfum
Review
Eternia Women is an oriental floral fragrance which embraces the all-out femininity of its notes rather than shying away from them. Similar notes to Dior classics such as Hypnotic Poison and Poison Girl.
Opening with a fresh blast of lemon, orange blossom, and bitter orange, Eternia Women has a bitter-citrus start. A heart of slightly green geranium and soft rose dusted with almond blooms. The base notes of sandalwood, tonka bean, and vanilla are mild, creamy and soothing.
Best worn in autumn, this is a perfect day to night perfume which has a strong sillage and good staying power.
You can expect 4 to 5 hours of wear from a single application of Eternia Women.
The bottle is a little bit special, which really isn’t surprising considering Armafs’ origins. The tall, tapering bottle is made up of panels of white and shining gold-tone metal. This gives it a space-age feel and makes it quite striking.
Overall, Eternia Women is a sweet, delicate, and undeniably feminine fragrance with an earthy twist.
Top Notes:
Lemon, Bitter Orange, Orange Blossom
Mid Notes:
Geranium, Rose, Almond
Base Notes:
Sandalwood, Tonka Bean, Vanilla

8. Pink Coral Eau de Parfum
Review
Offbeat and quirky, Pink Coral is a delight for all you patchouli/vanilla lovers. Fans of this fragrance report an almost Chanel Coco Noir feel to this scent.
Pink Coral opens with zesty notes of orange and bergamot, plus a surprisingly spicy hit that slowly mellows in the heart notes of rose and jasmine. It is the base which really sets the tone, however. Musk, patchouli, vetiver, and vanilla are the real stars of the show; they take an otherwise commonplace blend and elevate it.
A delight to wear, Pink Coral is an excellent all-rounder that can be worn during any season, day or night.
As for performance, Pink Coral combines moderate sillage/projection with good staying power, offering around 5 hours of wear from a single application.
As a part of the Armaf Niche collection, Pink Coral is simply presented in a cylindrical, clear bottle with a pearlescent pink topper. The result is effortlessly chic!
Overall, Pink Coral is a sophisticated and compliment-generating feminine fragrance with excellent performance.
Top Notes:
Orange, Bergamot
Mid Notes:
Rose, Jasmine
Base Notes:
Musk, Patchouli, Vetiver, Vanilla

9. Le Parfait Pour Femme Eau de Parfum
Review
Think lazy, sunny afternoons, sipping sweet tea in the garden, and you’ll have a good idea of the vibe Le Parfait Pour Femme has to offer.
The top notes of mandarin, jasmine, and neroli give the sillage of Le Parfait Pour Femme a pleasantly sweet and fresh edge. A heart of tuberose, honeysuckle, and lily-of-the-valley. This floral heart is what really defines the perfume; the base notes of amber, musk, and patchouli make the blend a little more robust and smoky.
With reasonably soft sillage and projection, you could be forgiven for expecting the worst from this fragrance. Nonetheless, it has reasonably good staying power – you can get 4 hours of wear from one application.
The bottle is probably the most striking part of this perfume. The white, gold, and pink snake-effect panels make the otherwise simple shape really pop.
Overall, Le Parfait Pour Femme is an elegant white floral fragrance for those who enjoy the classics!
Top Notes:
Jasmine, Mandarin Orange, Neroli
Mid Notes:
Honeysuckle, Lily-of-the-Valley, Tuberose
Base Notes:
Amber, Musk, Patchouli

10. Italian Vivo Eau de Parfum
Review
Italiano Vivo is a fruity/floral fragrance underpinned with woods that’s perfect for the women who like to walk the razor’s edge between girly and mature-classic.
The opening of Italiano Vivo begins with a symphony of geranium, rose, and raspberry that is both bright and girly. A heart of juicy black currant, spicy pink pepper, jasmine, and peony bleed through nicely to add a layer of effortless sophistication. Decadent base notes of cedar, musk, and vanilla underpin the fragrance.
A perfect spring and summer perfume for afternoons and early evenings, Italiano Vivo has enormous sillage and incredible staying power. You can expect around 6 hours wear from a single application.
The simple elegance of the tall, white bottle with its silver edges and topper belies the strength of the mix within.
Top Notes:
Geranium, Rose, Raspberry
Mid Notes:
Blackcurrant, Pink Pepper, Jasmine, Peony
Base Notes:
Musk, Vanilla, Cedar
