Club de Nuit Man

Ginger Gem... Banger clone of 1 Million Paco Rabanne with good approximation & performance, this was love at first scent for me. Opens with a burst of minty-citrus, ginger and soft-spice that intensifies and sweetens to include a near-cherry and bubblegum note, and dries down to a gingerbread-like amber-woody finish that's still present on clothes the next day. Overall I get a ginger-spicy scent that moves through stages of mojito to candied-ginger to gingerbread, with a hit of bubblegum in the amber-woody background. For me this is unisex, but it does lean masculine-sweet. Versatile and has enough freshness in the opening that this could be worn year-round IMO, but some will find the ginger-spice to read 'holidays'. Reviewed after spraying x 3 and storing 6 -9 months. Overall: Affordable, versatile and easy to wear, unisex leaning masculine, with above average sillage and longevity after spraying and storing 6-9 months, before that I couldn't notice much of a middle or drydown. It's a love for me. Enjoy! Update: 05/25/24: My son took this from me, he thinks it has some similarities to Valentino Uomo Born in Roma Intense (which I haven't smelt), although the notes are quite different. I still find it to be a versatile ginger scent with some freshness yet with a richness that could be worn year round. Whatever it may or may not smell like, it smells really good.

Hi friends, I'm rereviewing this: I've worn this a bunch of times now. It's a love! It's addictive and reminiscent of some popular others, but in a unique way - confusing. It garners compliments - great compliments! the initial spray is strong orangy-cinnamony-sweet leather which reminds you of 1 million. This is not a 1 million clone, however, as cardamomy cloves + wood keeps poking its head out and transitions this into something that I would picture as the day version to YSL La Nuit - less pepper, less mystique. In the dry down I get 0 million, and quite a bit of La Nuit - my skin. Depending on how the oil is moving in the bottle, it can come out similar to an Yves Rocher Hoggar woodiness so make sure not to let sit for too long. It's great for dates, weekend fun, and evenings out. Summer days would be cloying with this on. Any other time of year is fine. Projects well for the first few hours, silliage is beastly until I change my shirt, and transition between layers is quite fun to experience, as I am seeing with all Armafs. Don't judge from the bottle smell - this one needs a 4-6 hour trial. I blind bought and I am very pleased. It's more mature than 1 milion. The only thing that would have given this more life and excitement is blood orange and a bit stronger leather + patchoulli. All in all, though, this is a great one if you like cinnamon and spices.

To those who compare this scent to Tag-Him Prestige or 1 Million, I would have to disagree. This smells somewhere between Yves Saint Laurent L'Homme Ultime and Viktor & Rolf Spicebomb. The notes make it LOOK like it should smell like 1 Million, but in all actuality, that's not the case. This scent smells very natural, and it's easy to pick out the notes. You can wear this one to the office comfortably, without worry of being cloying. In fact, I recommend it with this one. Again, it's more similar to YSL L'Homme Ultime than it is to 1 Million. If you're looking for a true 1 Million clone, this is not it, but this cologne deserves its own credit in my opinion. The natural smell of this scent is what makes it a winner. If you're considering buying YSL L'Homme Ultime or Victor & Rolf Spicebomb but don't want to spend $65+, this is the ultimate alternative! I believe this is closer to Spicebomb than it's closest well-known clone, Bvlgari Man In Black, and this is much cheaper too!

I love this very much, in many ways I prefer this to 1Million. Unfortunately, the bottle is an absolute disgrace. The atomiser doesn't work well (and doesn't really atomise). The bottle contantly leaks and the top of the bottle turns into a sticky and dirty mess (even when cleaned after use). Seriously, this is the worst bottle i've ever experienced, and it could be studied for flow dynamics to understand how it douses the bottle in it's contents just from sitting on a shelf. Performance is pretty great for me (with a minimal application to skin and clothes), with good projection and longevity. This has also gotten a lot of compliments from people. This is very easy to overapply though, and boy it's obnoxious when there's too much. It can easily gas an entire room if overapplied, and can be quite cloying in hot weather (although pleasant when minimally applied).

Blind buy at Marshalls fr for $25 . Worth the price. Been wearing for 3 days now. Nice winter warm perfume with opening of orange and cinnamon. Middle notes are powdery spicy with pepper,orris and clove. Dry down after one hour I can smell the wood and leather. It has a rich dark feel to it on drydown (not as dark as the Gourmand alcohol frags!) and I tend to reach out for this perfume whenever I am wearing black. Sillage is good but not overbearing. Longevity of base notes is 4 hours after which it becomes a woody powdery only skin scent. Many people say it's sweet but I cannot smell any sweet notes except for the orange peel opening. There is a bit of YSL Y and some TF Noir Extreme blend going on in here. Good date night or movie night perfume. I won't wear this in summer however. Good value for money!

I just got it a few days ago and it has already gotten me some enthusiastic compliments among my family. One Million EDT has never been in my collection, not even when it first came out (I was in my mid 30s back then). The rose note and bubblegummy smell would always be off-putting for me. So , based of comments on this forum board, I decided to give it a shot, and I couldn't be happier. The fragrance smells amazing and perform as well as many others have commented here. What I love the most about it, is the zesty ginger note , and the beautiful dry down. I'm 49 today and finally found a One Million version that suits me well. I'm loving it and I'll be wearing the heck out of it . Highly recommended if you're looking for a more mature, toned-down scent with the OM DNA.

This is technically a first impression as I haven't worn it since spraying it when I initially got it. I've smelled PR One Million a few times and that's exactly what this elixir is trying to impersonate. There are differences in the quality, but this juice is still pretty good. What my nose picks up is the cinnamon heavily with the mint tucked behind for about 10 minutes. Then I get some ginger, amber, and a tad bit of leather. Such a good scent! The longevity isn't crazy at about 6 to 7 hours, projection is about an hour. Both may improve as it sits. Will return for an updated review once this has sat for a month or so. Projection: 6/10 Silage: 7/10 Longevity: 7/10 Scent: 9/10 Price: 10/10 Overall: 8/10

Seems like I’m the only person under 60 years old who has never tested or even knowingly smelled PR’s 1 Million. If I ever smelled it I may have assumed it was one of the JPG’s Club de Nuit Man is spicy but not in a way limiting it to cold weather. It has a powdery amber background that reminds me of some of the 70’s aftershaves, like Stetson. In Michelangelo’s painting titled “Creation”, I imagine God wearing a fragrance like this. Strong, manly, powdery but spicy and easy on the wallet. CDN Man is a solid 4 hours with good sillage and another 2-3 hours of lesser performance. It hasn’t dropped any panties for me yet but it could be because my wife lost her sense of smell in a freak hairspray accident.

UPDATE: Club De Nuit have put out a new improved version of this one! I left good positive feedback on the initial "Man' version(hence update!), but the newer version is a big improvement all around. The colour is noticeably darker which distinguishes the two but performance wise it is much better in every department. UKFragrance online is where I picked mine up from for £27($35) and Wow, it a real steal! Well done Serling for another excellent fragrance and addition to the Club De Nuit line. It the olders and newest in the line. Highly recommend this one; and 1 million eat your heart out! 1 Million is awesome but pound of pound pricewise this is a great substitute!

I would say this has much of the PR 1 Million touch but it's not an exact copy. In fact this has a few characteristics of it own and Armfa has done an excellent job with this one as they do with most of their fragrances. This is a really wonderful scent and at £20/$26 makes this a steel and a must have in a collector's collection. It has excellent qualities and longevity and all around performance is very good indeed👌! Armfa puts out some great stuff and no one can really complain, simply because they ain't being ripped off👍! I have PR 1 Million and I really like it, but I would even go as far as to say, I will love this one❤️❤️🤗😁🍻!!!

Does it smell like 1 million? yes Does it smell better than 1 million? no Do i prefer it over 1 million? yes at 1/2 of the price of 1 million, and an almost identical smell this one has flown under the radar. I can't get halloween man where i am but this is the next best thing for $40. Opening isn't as powerful as 1 million, however the drydown/longevity goes on forever 8+ hours. It's the exact more mature version i was looking for that reminded me of the cologne that started my collection, can be worn around the office without assaulting the senses. would say 4-5 sprays will be more than enough.

Recently picked this up as a daily use cologne. Very impressive smell. Close to 1 Million as others have reported but milder and creamier. I own 1 Million and that one is strong from start to finish and ends in a strong patchouli and woody base. This one maintains its creamy smell all through and is smooth. It is very long lasting and the warmer the weather the longer it lasts. Will work for office, meetings as well as evening dinners etc. For special occasions use 1 million and use this one for the rest of the time. I can see this one as an all year scent.

I decided to buy this fragrance because reviews said that the reformulated version of this is similar to the first batches of Paco Rabanne One Million.( I have the 2024 batch) I think it is even better. I sprayed 2 on my left arm, at 11AM and I can still smell it, so it is long lasting, the sillage is like between Strong and Moderate, definetly not an arm length, a little bit more than that. It is a peak male fragrance with a decent price. If you want something like PR One Million, but dont want to smell like every other guy in the room, it’s a no brainer.

It is leaves only positive reaction. Way better than original 1 million to be honest, it's better blended. Apparently, this one certainly best from Armaf at whole, because in this fragrance I swear you can feel Every markered note in pyramid, especially Mandarin, Cinnamon and Amber, which all gives ubelievable pleasent and simultaneously mild expression. There is you can't find any superflaous excessive notes like mint in 1M. Amazing, bright, beautiful and seductive. Never regret about this buy

Hands down the most slept on from Armaf's Club De Nuit line. Opening starts out a bit harsh with the citrus like other CDN fragrances. Just give it a few minutes to settle and the warm spices and woods become more prominent. Beautiful scent for $20 and smells so much more expensive than it is. Excellent fragrance for fall and winter that can be used day or night. I'm assuming that a few weeks of maturation will help fix the harsh opening like it did with my bottle of CDN Intense and CDN Iconic.

Armaf clone banger. They were clearly chasing the 1 Million vibe. But this has something different in it that makes it more calm and mature, less bubble gum, so this is great for an older man who likes that DNA but can't quite pull it off. The cinnamon is still present and the slight freshness from the mint, but for some reason the blend always makes me think of peach. Like a boozy peach. It is warm, wintery, cozy. This was dirt cheap in Oz, and smells way better than the price point.

Club de Nuit Man is a cross of 1 Million/YSL L'Homme Ultime/Spicebomb. The difference between this and any of those is about 3 to 4 times the money you will save by buying CDNM. I get a good 8 hours on my skin with a solid 2-3 hrs. of projection. This is a versatile Fall/Winter/Spring fragrance good for semi-formal/casual/work environments. Classic ARMAF presentation for a classic ARMAF fragrance. Highly recommended.

The opening is quite minty and citrusy. The spices come through in the middle, and as with many Armaf fragrances it is quite Amber-heavy. Other dry down notes are quite subtle. Overall fresh clean and warm spicy, get a lot of compliments. Suitable for formal occasions and office. Moderate-strong performance. You don’t need to spend $1M to smell like $1M. Suggested deodorant match : Lynx Leather & Cookies.

This is so good, a powdery sweet and spicy delight of orange, cloves, and cinnamon. Gets warmer and even spicier as it dries down. Reminds me of Givenchy's Pi stripped of its vanilla with amped up spices. The opening reminds me of 1 Million, but that's where the comparisons end for me. Perfect for cool/cold weather, it makes a great standalone or a layering scent.

If 1 Million and 1 Million Prive had a baby this would be it. Smooth, creamy, some spice, fruits, cinnamon and vanilla to it. I prefer 1 Million Prive to this one, but for $20 on a 3.4oz bottle, it's not bad at all. Very well blended for a cheap Armaf. Great performance and great scent profile. 8/10 overall considering price and value. Shines in the fall time!
