Aura

Batch # 240185 production date: 07/2017 made in france. I like this perfume, and it really performes. I get a bit confused when reading some of the other reviews which has it as an average performer. I guess it could be a batch thing. To me it gives at least 8+ hours. I find it outperforming both El Cielo and Le parfait which i bought at the same time. It is supposed to be unisex, but in my opinion it leans more towards male users. I think its very versatile and inoffensive, making it a perfume that i think is wearable year round. The musk note gives the perfume a warm foundation, and the amber brings a nice sweetness that perhaps if over spraying could be a bit to much but otherwise is balanced. The geranium rosy note is definitely there and is perhaps the most noticeable component of the perfume. The citrus notes of bergamot and lemon gives nice freshness which complements the warmth and sweetness. All in all i think its a nicely put together perfume that performs very well and is very versatile, i would say you can use it anytime and anywhere. I got the perfume for $ 22 which is cheap considering how good this bottle is. I would definitely recommend this perfume to anyone looking for a good, versatile performer.

I love Invictus style fragrances so I was a little on the fence blind buying this because being described as oriental, the brown bottle, and the notes make it seem like this would smell like something complete different. However, don’t let them fool you, this is 100% an Invictus flanker/clone. I get that nice bubblegummy sweetness and the manly musky undertone that we all know and love. I also get a hint of rose which is actually quite pleasant. The pepper is just a little pinch that adds to the musk factor, it’s not a spicy or loud pepper at all. I also have El Cielo which is basically this plus a lot of vanilla. Overall, I’m extremely happy with this. If you like Invictus and wants something that lasts 5+ hours and don’t want to spend $50, get this instead. Mont Blanc Legend Spirit used to be my #1 but I think this might take that spot. I also have Wanted and while it lasts a very long time and smells similar, it has a funky smoky note that I'm not particularly fond of.

This is a sexy beast. But only last 4 hours on my skin. Six to eight hours on clothes. It smells great, i like it. But bring a decant to respray every four hours. This is perfect for the summer and spring. You can wear this anywhere and at any time. Will buy more, for myself and others. That's nothing more to say about this. It's worth the blind buy. Less than $21.00 bucks. Give it a shot. Update: I love the magnetic cap...Helps pass the time. I used seven sprays...both wrist, behind my ears, back & front of my neck and chest.

I love this one. Great affordable fragrance that doesn't get a lot of love. Mass appealing fresh scent, might be a little much if you over spray on a HOT day but 5-6 sprays is perfect. Lasts pretty long on my skin. Reminds me of a mix of YSL Y EDP & Invictus. I also get a little bit of the YSL Myslf dry down in the opening of this, if that makes sense. Dired down this is more floral than fresh and thats when it may become cloying if over sprayed. Magnetic cap is nice but don't pick it up by the cap, you'll see why lol. The bottle is kinda ugly but that par for the course for a lot of Armaf, Wish they put this in a CDN style bottle, I gaurentee this would get more attention with a better presentation.

Brilliant cheap fragrance. Nice box and magnetic cup. Juice is light. It's giving me CKin2You vibe or Hugo by Boss. (The light blue bottle) The last time I owned Invictus is in 2013 so I kinda do not remember it fully but this reminds me a little bit of it. I'm shocked by the quality and by how light and fresh this is. It's nice. Middle east brands usually struggle to make things light and simple. Not with this one.

Something is wrong with the voting system for this fragrance. Last month it was all love and likes with a very high score, really high I mean (above 4.3)! now it's showing mostly dislikes and a very low score. Something happened here, Fragrantica should check this. Amazing fragrance, like it even more than Invictus. Incredible performance and lasts more than 8 hours on me. A must have definitely.

One of the best under $25 frags you will find especially if you like invictus...this is a must have. I'd say it's more of a clone of the aqua version with far better projection and longevity at a quarter of the price. Not sure why the rating dropped as before mentioned and the list of accords doesn't seem right, but this is sexiness in a bottle. 8.5/10

What a great fragrance, damn cheap and a pleasant invictus twist with that violet and iris notes, you get a masculine fresh clean laundry like scent, reminds me of mont blanc individuel but with a far better longevity and projection, totally mass appealing and it's dirt cheap, I like the fact that it includes a magnetic cap, great scent by armaf!

#886 in my "Tour de Fragrance" Simply put, it's Invictus Aqua with an Iris note and substantially better performance. For me the Iris note, improved potency at lower cost make this a successful blind buy. If you like Invictus Aqua, you'll like this even more. Very nice freshie. Car pool, elevator and small office safe. Versatile for any use.

Smells pretty much exactly like Invictus and lasts about as long as it on my skin. Bottle is obnoxious but still better than the Invictus bottle. Stands up to most designer fragrances and is a very easy blind buy imo, especially considering the price (around $25 on ebay). Very sweet so don't buy if that's not your thing.

Let me start by saying that this smells exactly like paco rabanne invictus, but more lemon-ish. As for longevity and sillage, It's longevity on "my" skin is 8 hours and for sillage I can confidently say It's 2 hours maybe even more like 3 hours but no more than that. For the money I recommend (19$).

Extremely loud hawas clone..(Invictus if you must) although it does last & project it's just not as long as beast mode hawas which can last upto 12 hrs This and aura fresh (the Versace eau fraiche clone in this fresh collection) are good cheapies and definitely easy reaches for summer

Aura was the third Armaf fragrance I bought after I fell in love with CDNIM and Odyssey Homme. I really like this stuff. I think for the price, you're getting more than you pay for. Performs well on me and the iris notes really make it stand out. I prefer this over Invictus! 7.5/10

Get it if you can find it. Great scent and wife agrees. This thing is just LOUD. Great quality and value. Opening is pungent so spray at least 15 mins before you sit in a car or a small room. Dry down is top notch. Blind bought and glad I did.

It is a clone of Paco Rabanne Invictus. For its price, it is definitely worth buying, and the performance justifies the cost. Overall, it offers good value for money with a scent profile that closely resembles the original.

Excellent cologne and a definate compliment getter. I get a good 2 hrs of projection and then a skin scent that lasts 6 or 7 more hours. Everytime I wear this I get complimented. For around $25 bucks, it is tough to beat!

This is a clone of Invictus that outperforms it (way longer projection/longer lasting on skin/clothes) and smells sweeter and better in my opinion than the original, save yourself the $ and get this instead.

A phenomenal cologne. Multi-seasonal, incredible longevity, and ridiculously good value. My husband gets compliments on it all the time and I notice it every time he wears it.

Mass appealing in a bottle .Performance is amazing and it will become even stronger , projects for 3-4hours and lasts atleast 8, for 12dollars which i paid this is nobrainer

Smells like raspberry and musk dryer sheets, it's very comforting and kinda sexy at the same time. It's actually a unisex fragrance but it's labeled for men on fragrantica.

It's like a slightly less bubblegummy Invictus, but more potent than the original. I love it. It's amazing value for the money and a safe blind buy.

The best Invictus clone I've ever tried (so far). No doubt, this is a great one.

For the price, Aura is a steal

I just don't like the DNA. Seems every Paco clone I get I find nauseating. Aura and Aura fresh is supposed to be like Versace Man of Fresh. It smells good in open then has a nasty chemical smell then smells kinda okay. Aura aewma to so the same. Maybe it is cloying as some describe. Tried Belcam AI and got the same feeling. I don't have the sweet tooth for these types of fragrances. I may change so will be holding on to them. Belcam AI had a great opening can not get over how good it is for $8 even though I don't like it.

Rasai Hawas + Montblanc Individuel = Armaf Aura IMO incredibly similar to Hawas, but sweeter, less incense and more floral notes. If you already have Hawas I think Aura is kind of redundant, but if you're choosing between the two I'd say go Aura because it's almost half the price but 90% similar. Bottle is a little tacky, but at ~$25/100ml it's a great EDP if you like that synthetic bubblegum Invictus-style fragrance.

98% Invictus! A little less bubblegum feel and more iris. Very nice scent if your Invictus is low or haven't tried it. Good performance and excellent projection. All season fragrance. Be careful if you wear it to work. It can fill a room. It is strong. I like that though lol. Review coming soon... YT shavenonthedarkside

Keep it easy with the number of sprays. If you overspray, be prepared for headache. It smells extremely close to PR Invictus. Smells like oud might be in there during the drydown. Heard the new batches are not as strong as the old ones. Definitely worth buying as it can last a long time.

This Aura Armaf is a great everyday scent for me. The citrus and spice at the beginning are fresh and inviting, then it settles into a warm, powdery violet that lasts all day. My girlfriend loves it too!

Good for summers, If you like fresh bubblegummy DNA it's a great option. Hugo boss x Superman is another great release towards this DNA but less sweet might wanna check that out if this is up your alley

No doubts there is a very strong ressemblance with Invictus. On top of it this fragrance that projects for an eternity and is pretty sex bomb.

yes, it smells sexy. It doesn't stay on my skin or clothes for long. But this is one of my favorite fragrances

Opening was obnoxious. I thought I'd draw some hatred towards me last night. Maybe they were just being polite. Three sprays and I was thick in it. Gave me a fruity disinfectant vibe at first. Not a big fan. Dry down is great. Now when I say dry down I'm talking a couple hours. It's still going strong this morning and now I like it. It's sexy, drier and cleaner instead of thick and cloying. I don't know that it's for me but I can see this being hot on the right girl. I'd prefer it that way even though it's known as a modern man type DNA. Bottle totally says old man juice which is odd and doesn't suit the scent but If you have found yourself recently complaining about poor performance, here is your medicine.

This is somewhat pleasant but smells nothing like Invictus to my nose. Invictus is a much more robust, complex, higher quality and smells way better by a mile. This on the other hand is a light, sweet floral scent that doesn't project much. This also has a rather cheap and synthetic quality to it.

Purchased Armaf Aura 100ml from Notino on sale for £7. For that price, this is a budget gem of a fragrance. Good scent, ok longevity. No complaints. A good daily wear fragrance.

Aura is an OK citrus. Nothing fantastic or memorable. It has only an EDT potency.

Batch 09/2023. Horrible opening super strong of lemon and apple, smells like mr clean lemon cleaner. Dry down smells nice however, aromatic and sweet floral notes. Slightly woody. Performance is poor unlike others say though, lasts like 2 hours max for me, and sillage is also not great, I have to touch nose to wrist to smell anything after a few mins.

I'm very disappointed. I bought this perfume about month ago and they are very week!!! I'm not recommend this perfume.

Definitely, slightly more Azzaro Wanted, Azzaro Wanted Freeride than this whole bunch of Invictus..... but not a clone in the full sense of the word. And fortunately, this is the case. In addition, Aura's parameters do not differ from those of the basic Invictus, and the Armaf fragrance itself is more interesting and complex than what its much more expensive French colleague can offer us. The top notes are a citrusy beginning but it lasts rather short. Violet and pepper beautifully rescue the middle notes. These are cheap perfumes, but individual notes make themselves felt in each subsequent stage, at the end we are left with a bit of citrus, violet, a bit of iris, musk and amber... but the finale itself is very close to the skin, it is an interesting scent so we can enjoy smelling it on our wrist. , or save the situation by taking a decant to the beach. I have over 40 different tiny travel size spray bottles and each one has a specific scent assigned to it. It's also a good option for the summer, having a good replacement in your pocket. Contrary to appearances, it is quite an interesting summer fragrance, more interesting than, for example, Aura Fresh, which I also have and value very much. The parameters are not impressive, but show me how many typical summer fragrances, suitable for the hottest temperatures, have parameters that they could really boast about? A few, literally a few? And rather the most expensive ones.... on the other hand Mancera is not such expensive, not expensive and still delicious. But this is only one... Mancera. I recommend Armaf Aura, it's a cheap fragrance worth every dollar spent.

Aura opens with a mix of bergamot, apple, and lemon that feels bright and juicy, cut by a touch of black cardamom that gives it a warmer edge. It’s energetic and attention-grabbing right from the start. The middle blends violet, geranium, iris, and lavender with a hint of pepper. It’s smooth, slightly floral, and balanced by that peppery bite so it doesn’t get too soft. This stage feels confident but still easy to wear. The base settles into musk, sandalwood, amber, and vetiver. It’s warm, slightly sweet, and clean, leaving behind a polished finish that sticks around. Aura is very much in the same spirit as Invictus, with that sweet-fresh blend that leans youthful and crowd-pleasing. It’s best for evenings out, casual wear, or anytime you want something energetic and modern.

I LOVED this stuff upon first sniff. When I found out about it, I was in a mall fragrance store, and the dude tried to charge me $75 for a bottle. I'm glad I decided against it because I looked on Amazon and found it there for like $25 about an hour later. After a couple months of wearing it nearly every day, I got sick of the bubblegum-sweetness of it and I ended up throwing it out. All this was before I really got into fragrances as a hobby, so I wish I would have kept it now. Oh well. I suppose I can just get another bottle whenever I want to, but I feel owning Hunter Intense and this would be redundant.

I am new to the world of homage/clone perfumes though I own a modest collection of perfumes and testers. I'm based in the UAE and wonder how I did'nt come across the Armaf range before. They stock their entire range in a store called Joanna in Dragonmart 1 in Dubai. I have used Invictus in the past and Aura is a true high quality clone and a long lasting one. I sprayed this, one spray each on the outside part of my forearms in the early evening. Hours later after a shower I could still get the projection. Woke up the next morning and still could smell it on my skin. Invictus on steroids!!

Edit: a few days later, it smells like a different scent. Sooo much better. I think I'm nose blind to it atm, so I'm not sure how strong it is, but I'm digging it. I just got it today. It came wrapped but the bottle itself was covered in dust and shmutz. At first spray it smells nice, but then it instantly turned into a sour candy BO smell. I'm guessing it needs time to macerate....did I spell that right? I'll check back in in a month.

Liquid Gold and Sexual Desire all One of the Best Mens Scent in a Long time it is ten times sexier than YSL M7 kinda perfume for MEN this will draw in anyone who you want all by itself and let's you live out that urge that all men feel... Trust me try it out you will get every pennies worth I was blown away at out of my expensive collection and none with that passion in it as in Aura Armaf has

Found this for under 15 quid on Notino and I’ve been amazed at how good it really is. It smells incredible and it literally is mega similar to og invictus side by side. I think I actually like this one a tad more. Excellent performance and sillage, no complaints about that. Also this might be the very best of the million of the invictus clones out there. A hidden gem sleeper for sure 👍 👍

Cloyingly sweet and nauseating. I don’t know how sensitive all of you are with your noses, but I bought this 3 years ago and this juice is so powerful, at one point I had to physically scrub it off in order to make it go away. 3/10 only reason it’s not 0 is if you truly like the way this smells, then good for you because it’s inexpensive.

Reminds me of a deodorant I had as a teenager: Lynx Africa (or Axe Africa outside of the UK). Turns out that deodorant has some notes in common with this fragrance. Not my thing at all! If you like Azzarro's Wanted (the original), then you'll enjoy this frag.

I only wish this was stronger it smells like a perfume in the initial first sprays and around the first couple hours it goes to a nice rich skin scent I love this but at least it is extremely affordable so just reapply

Armaf Aura projects brilliantly for 6-7 hours. Currently it's 14 hours after spraying on my skin and im getting heavy whaffs of this high quality juice. Extremely safe blind buy choice

If you are a long fragrantica user, you will understand that some people intentionally bad vote a fragrance hoping that less people buy it, so they can keep it to themself.

@Mobbs Nah, the invictus bottle is better. All of these clone houses have the ugliest bottles I've ever seen.
