Armaf
Club de Nuit Man
“Gold-bar swagger with cinnamon and leather. The going-out cologne that walks in before you do.”
Armaf's Club de Nuit Man is widely positioned as an alternative to Rabanne's 1 Million (2008): mandarin opens onto cinnamon and cloves, over a leather-tinged base. Warm spice leads the accords, with fresh spice, citrus and amber. The bright citrus opening gives way to a warmer, spicier drydown. Versatile across fall, winter and spring, balanced day-to-night.
