This is a banger. I'm reviewing this after having my bottle for less than a week, so I may update after a while to let you all know how it matures. But, I have nothing but love for this right out of the box and on first sprays. This one is addictive. The ginger and rose combo is amazing, fresh, clean, and fairly unique. Amazing for the price point. Perfect signature scent. It's different enough to stand out, perfect for any professional or formal setting, and interesting enough to be warn pretty much any other time. I don't really get any tobacco from this, so it stays in that fresh, clean, floral range for me. It's a well put together no brainer fragrance that is never going to feel too casual or too professional, in my opinion. It will match whatever setting you're in, so long as you look clean and put together. Performance is great. It's a very strong fragrance and has really good lasting power. I get 8 hours out of this easy, much longer as a skin scent. Be careful with your spray count at work. Easily in my top 10 at this point. Update: After wearing this more, and having a little time with it and for the bottle to mezuzzerate, I'd like to update my review. I stand by what I said, in that this is a banger of a fragrance. I've never smelled the original, so none of my thoughts are based on that. But this fresh, spicy, lightly sweet, chilled rose combo is incredible. The note breakdown does seem to be a little misleading. There's definitely ginger in this somewhere. And compared to my previous statements, I am now able to pick up that tobacco in the base. I was worried that the tobacco would be too much for a primarily fresh fragrance, but it really does just do exactly what it needs to do without overstepping it's boundaries. It provides this fragrance with just enough depth and with just enough of a base weight to make this a viable all year round fragrance. The anchor notes do enough to help push this out and make it last in colder weather, but it never feels too warm or too heavy for the warmer weather. Where I'm at we've had jumpy weather from the 40s to the 90s since I've had this bottle, and this holds up so well. No issues. It's definitely still formal leaning, but it's freshness, ever so slight sweetness, and that chilled rose note make this interesting - some have said mysterious - enough to be an anytime signature scent. Love pairing this with a minimal all black casual outfit. It's a welcome contrast that exudes confidence. Highly, highly recommend this one. Also, of note: my bottle has the armaf signature horrible atomizer. It sprays light, but don't let that fool you. This is POWERFUL. Overspray and you will go nose blind and you will kill every bird in the tri state area. 10/10. Perfect fragrance. Wouldn't change a thing. Except the atomizer.

My bottle just arrived, so bear with me as I post a *first impressions* review (that's my disclaimer) as I have this on one arm, and L'homme Ultime on the other. The Armaf is VERY close to Ultime. For reference, My bottle of Ultime is very low now, and this armaf is brand new. 2 sprays for each fragrance on opposite arms. The Armaf is quite strong upon initial application, and it seems to have left a noticeably oily area where I sprayed. About 15 minutes in, they both settle down. The differences are so minute, I am having trouble trying to pick any out. I mean, this is insanity. This is one of the closest dupes I've ever smelled when comparing directly to the original. The YSL maybe is a bit...lighter? More airy? Heck..so close.... I thought Rasasi 'Essential' was fairly close to Ultime. I'm probably going to give that one away now and keep this one. This is every bit of 'indistinguishable' on my skin. The Armaf is definitely stronger than the YSL. I am stunned by how good this is. I'll probably update when I've had a chance to get a feel for the longevity. (Ultime only lasts about an hour or two on skin...only one worse performance-wise is the OG YSL Homme) Money well spent if you like the Ultime DNA for sure. Some snobby snobberson will come here and say some dumb shit like 'this isn't anything like it blah blah blah.' I am preemptively telling you now that anyone who badmouths this fragrance either: A) never owned ultime and is talking shit B) hates clones or dupes so they have a resentment against them C)Owns ultime but has never tried this fragrance D) Is gatekeeping hardcore This stuff is really good. Lets see how the longevity is after some time... Edit/Update 6/15: After about two weeks, and several wears, performance is average. I think I'm clocking about 6 hours total. Skin scent after about an hour and a half to two hours.

Before I talk about how it smells, I was curious and wanted an official word from Armaf on two inconsistencies: the naming and the official notes. So I emailed them, and this was the response I got: Dear [blank], Thank you for your inquiry. To clarify, there is only one Infinity for man, which comes in a Silver packing. Infinity for women comes in a gold packing. There are no additional infinities besides these two. We apologize for the inconvenience but there is no tobacco notes on this perfume. We understand that it might have been listed on several websites, but to confirm, there are the correct notes: Top notes: Bergamot, Ginger, and Grapefruit Middles notes: Pink rose, Geranium, Apple, and Cardamom Base notes: Cedarwood, vetiver, & Cashmere Wood If you have any other inquires, feel free to lets us know. Best regards, Armaf USA Customer Support Team I was recently able to smell YSL Ultimé, and they are 95% similar. The only difference is that infinity is more amped up on the spices, but that, in turn, doesn't make it as smooth as Ultime. Dry down is similar, and overall, the infinity lasts longer than a couple of hours I’ve worn it so far. Rating:10/10 (I'm starting to despise dupes now that I've owned more fragrances, but this genuinely impressed me)

although i tend to be at least impressed more often than not, every now n then these arabic companies manage to just completely knock it out of the park. this is a shining example of that for Armaf. i did sample this one at the mall before buying, so not a blind buy. but even then, it smelled fantastic and indistinguishable from the worn in mall tester, right out the box. lasted at least 9 hours on skin with good projection, was getting wafts of it all day just from the hand test, so even performance is g2g out the box. for the fragrance itself, it is an absolutely (and i cannot stress this enough) gorgeous scent. the middle notes (particularly the rose) and the ginger give it much of its identity, while the citrus and base notes serve to ground and freshen the scent. i really can't do how lovely the rose smells justice, the juice just smells elegant and gentlemanly, not too masculine, while not too sweet and youthful. never smelled the og, but creds to YSL and the original perfumer that made the DNA bc this is seriously unique and enjoyable. never smelled tygar, but i can assure this does not rlly smell like turathi. i have both and am schizo about redundancies and i can't see it here. who tf said this smells like blockade btw 😭✌️

The notes shown here are incorrect. The correct notes are: TOP: Bergamot, Ginger, Grapefruit and Cardamom MID: Rose, Apple and Geranium BASE: Cashmere, Cedar and Vetiver I have the original, and this is one of those rare occasions where the clone is not only as good as the original, but in my opinion, better. It's not 100% identical to Ultime but it's super close. It's a beautiful citrus, peppery aromatic scent with a touch of Rose. Whilst Ultime smells fresher, Infinity is warmer and spicier. Surprisingly, Infinity is strong straight out of the box and definitely stronger than Ultime. There's no need for maturation here. It has solid longevity at around 6-8 hours and good projection. I could smell this on my clothes days after wearing it. This is one of those fragrances that deserves the hype and sells out fast. The peppery aromatics of Infinity remind me of Givenchy Gentleman Only. Some may find that old school, but I really enjoy it. I think it's definitely worth purchasing. It's masculine, versatile and easy to wear. Armaf have done a really good job with Infinity. Highly recommended.
