Club de Nuit Precieux I

Armaf cooked with this one, changed the game for me forever. You get that creed aventus pineapple/ fruitiness with beautiful smoky notes in the background to balance it perfectly. The pepper notes are done so masterfully in this fragrance, as I find those notes tend to be harsh on my skin, but with this blend it compliments the sweetness so well. The opening starts a tad harsh, but once you give it 15-20 minutes the fruity notes and the harsher woodier notes work together beautifully to create what I describe as a bowl of sugared fruits that have been smoked to perfection. Packaging is also awesome, the best packaging I have even personally seen, such a cool detail. The bottle design is also really cool as well, just an additional thing to add. The performance on this is unbelievable, I applied it at around 6pm one day, lasted on my skin a whole 24 hours after a shower in between as well. You can expect 10+ hours with projection not dying off until around then. This was also in sub 30 degree weather, this fragrance isn’t even really a winter one! I’m blown away with Armaf on the versatility and the performance this fragrance has. Unfortunately, something like this always has a caveat. 50ml is just way too small for something like this. Yes you only really need 2-3 sprays, yes it still good bang for your buck, but only 50ml? This is an all year round banger, how can you expect me not to use 50ml so quickly. On top of that around 40-50 bucks for 50ml, that’s in pricey territory for a dupe fragrance, if this wasn’t the beast that it is I’d actually be pretty disappointed with that price tag and size. Nothing can be perfect after all... As far as being an accurate dupe of creed aventus absolu goes, I wouldn’t know. I have sampled creed aventus and I absolutely love it, it literally just smells like a smokier version of that with some extra sweeter notes thrown in. Which i’m told the absolu is basically. If you love the aventus DNA, chances are you’ll love this thing. On that same note, blind bought this as well, I would recommend if you are in the same boat as me you do it too. Pretty safe blind buy if you ask me, not much that is too niche about it, would say it’s very beginner friendly and mass appealing. This scent probably is suited better for business settings, not something like SWY where you get that cozy vibe. Reminds me of a rich CEO who is hyper masculine. Also on that note, absolutely not a girl fragrance. Very masculine, even though it has sweeter notes. Probably not something for casual occasions. Overall, great fragrance. Bravo Armaf. 9/10 Scent 10/10 Performance (Great performance without cloying or suffocating a room) 8.5/10 Versatility ( works all seasons, mostly suited for more formal occasions)

Club de Nuit Precieux I di Armaf ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Armaf Precieux I è probabilmente la migliore interpretazione del DNA Aventus attualmente sul mercato per chi cerca qualità e maturità. Se possiedi già il CDNIM e ne ami l'aggressività, potresti trovarlo troppo "gentile"; se invece cercavi una versione più lussuosa, rifinita e simile ad Aventus Absolu, questa è la scelta definitiva. Piramide Olfattiva Apertura: Ananas dolce, Bergamotto, Limone, Pera e Pepe Nero. C'è anche una punta di Caramello che arrotonda le asperità. Cuore: Gelsomino, Anice, Legni bianchi, Mughetto e Muschio di Quercia. Fondo: Ambroxan, Cuoio, Patchouli, Legno di Cedro, Vaniglia e Muschio Bianco. Profilo Sensoriale A differenza dei suoi predecessori, Precieux è un Estratto di Profumo. Questo si traduce in una densità maggiore e un'evoluzione più lenta. L'Apertura: Dimentica l'odore di "detergente al limone" del CDNIM EDT. Qui l'apertura è succosa, quasi fotorealistica, con una pera e un ananas ben bilanciati dal pepe nero. L'Evoluzione: Nel cuore, la fragranza diventa più cremosa e floreale. L'anice aggiunge un tocco aromatico che lo distingue dai cloni più economici. Il Dry-down: La base è dove avviene la magia. È calda, leggermente ambrata e cuoiata, ma con una pulizia data dall'Ambroxan che lo rende estremamente moderno e "professionale". Performance e Versatilità Longevità: Ottima. Trattandosi di un estratto, sulla pelle supera facilmente le 8-10 ore, rimanendo presente sui vestiti per giorni. Sillage (Scia): Non è una "bomba" che riempie la stanza come l'EDT, ma crea un'aura elegante e persistente intorno a chi lo indossa. È un profumo che si fa notare con discrezione. Occasioni d'uso: È estremamente versatile. Perfetto come signature scent per l'ufficio, ma abbastanza complesso per una serata elegante o un appuntamento. Funziona bene in tutte le stagioni, anche se brilla particolarmente in primavera e autunno. Qualità percepita: Il Precieux sembra un profumo di nicchia a tutti gli effetti. Se la Limited Edition è un ottimo clone, il Precieux è una fragranza che vive di luce propria. Il mio consiglio: Se hai già avuto il Club de Nuit classico e ti sei stancato della sua aggressività, il Precieux è l'upgrade logico. È più "rotondo", meno pungente e decisamente più lussuoso al naso. Mi ha convinto a tal punto che ne ho comprate ben 5 confezioni. Voto 10/10

After pretty much wanting to chuck the bottle at the wall because I felt like I just purchased the most overpriced version of Brute for Men,I did the right thing and immediately scowled the internet to see if anyone thought this was as bad as I did lol. Precieux reminded me of some old school dirty barbershop scent and I couldn't comprehend how so many FRAGTUBERS hyped this up so much! I decided not to give up on this mess in a bottle so I sprayed the heck out of it and put it back in the box and in my closet. I would open it up and spray a few times about every 2 weeks. I noticed the composition started smoothing out and coming together more and more as it sat. So forward about 8 weeks later and suddenly I thought "there it is!!" Precieux developed into a super smooth and sophosticated high end near perfection in a bottle! It's rare from my experience that maturation can make such a 180 difference in a fragrance. I assumed due to the higher than most inspo houses price point this would've been fully macerated out of the box, but let me tell you patience is a virtue. Out of 160 bottles ,and countless decants Precieux One is one of my all time favorites. Now comparing it to Supremacy Collector's Edition they are not very similar which leads me to believe that one of them is more of a twist than a 1 to 1 inspo of Absolu Shmavenus. If I had to compare Precieux to other inspos in the same realm I would say there's a little bit of Rayhaan Imperia in Precieux One. That is another one that maturation did wonders and went from gasoline with heavy birch to smooth and sweeter overtime which is another cheapie gem. The projection is pretty great for about 2 hours which is the best I've gotten from anything I've ever worn. Now my coworkers will tell you 4 hours in they can still smell it, but I'm nose blind by that point. I feel like Armaf didn't really go for a copy with this one, but went their own direction and created one of the best stand alone frags ever!

I initially held off on buying this because I already owned Afnan’s Supremacy Collector’s Edition (SCE), and I was led to believe that owning both would be redundant. Boy, was I wrong. These are very different fragrances—or rather, they feel very different. The best way I can describe Precieux, in the context of SCE and the broader Club de Nuit line, is that it sits somewhere between SCE and CDNIM Limited Edition. Roughly speaking, it feels like 55% SCE and 45% CDNIM LE—but with all the harshness of both toned down and refined. The opening of Precieux features the same infamous “lemon pledge” note that CDNIM is known for (I genuinely don’t understand why more people don’t talk about this). By contrast, SCE opens with pineapple and white florals. That said, unlike CDNIM, the lemon in Precieux is very well done. It’s significantly smoother, milder, more refined, and overall of noticeably higher quality. Once that lemon fades, Precieux starts to resemble SCE more closely. The key differences are that SCE is louder, spicier, and more youthful, whereas Precieux is more mature, woody, understated, and slightly denser. Their dry-downs do converge to some extent, so keep that in mind—but SCE significantly outperforms Precieux in terms of projection and longevity. On its own merits: I’d rate Precieux an 8/10. I’d rate it much higher (around 9–9.5/10) if not for the atrocious pricing. When adjusted for a 100 ml bottle, you’re essentially paying entry-level designer prices for a Middle Eastern clone brand, which is hard to justify. Compared to SCE: SCE is the better overall purchase—especially for younger people, and particularly when you factor in price and performance. That said, Precieux is clearly the higher-quality fragrance. If you had to choose just one: For most people, I’d recommend SCE. For those over 30, I’d recommend Precieux. For collectors... just get both, like I did.

Wonderful fragrance! Long Lasting! Starts with a fresh burst of citrus, some sweet ananas, and spices. Dries down to a amplified Blue Shower gel, similar to Sauvage/Elixir. Lasts 8-10h, sillage is very powerful I get 2-3h with Strong sillage, then it changes it's like 2 Fragrances in 1. Starts as a Creed Aventus 2-4h and ends as similar Sauvage 4-8h, until its a skin scent. The best on this is that the spices on top give it a very fresh projection, you still have that dark oak moss, wood, cedar wood background but on the top this frizzy spiced scent, slightly sweet that just makes this a High End fragrance. Sillage can be noticed up to 4h in, leaves a strong trail, very well done. This is a dupe of Aventus Absolut and a very good one, this thing lasts longer than the OG, it does dry down to a Sauvage, it takes path from the OG but for a good reason, it's long lasting. The initial burst of citrus freshness is very pleasant and I would prefer if it lasted longer, also that Ananas evaporates pretty quick. Underrated and for the 35€ I payed this things slaps any other fragrance. Value/Quality ration is super high, only downside is the bottle being 55ml. I still prefer this against the other dupe, afnan Supremacy Collectors Edition, this one pops up much more, the sillage is double than on CE. CE is more toned down but still a great alternative. Unboxing this was also a surprise, very well packed and a wonderful experience although the price is kinda cheap. Attention to details does matter. Only the chain moving all the time is a bit annoying, but I glued it as on CDN. Overall 9.5/10

god i’m sick of the elitist reviews on this site. this smells very good right out of the box. longevity tbd. ironically, many people are saying supremacy ce is better but the supremacy ce i got from jomashop smells like straight isopropyl alcohol. edit: it does smell similar to supremacy ce just for me at least...zero alcohol smell and a much better fruity smell probably because of the pear note. so that’s a instant W in my book. longevity is solid. strong projection for the first 2-3 hours...fades to maybe a lil less than arms reach after that for the next 3-4 hours...then its a skin scent. i can still smell it the next day before showering if i put my nose right up to my wrist. i’m really liking this. first wear no bullshit i had 4 people ask me what i was wearing. i work in retail so i cross paths with hundreds of people every day but still. easily the most interactions ive ever had in a day for a fragrance. one of which said it smelled “smelled wonderful” and was “soft, not too much” and idk if i agree with that part because it’s pretty strong and spicy in my opinion. almost barbershop-ish but the fruit rounds it out. the musky dry down is fire. huge fan of the dry down around the 2.5-3 hour mark. the sweetness before then is nice too but i think i go a touch nose blind to it...but when that musk starts coming thru its like its back with a vengeance lol. imo...100% worth blind buying. but to each their own. and for all the snobs on here...i WISH someone paid me to say these things because this shit is great. lol.

This is better than Aventus, full stop. Now is it better than Absolu Aventus? No, but it gets pretty close. Does it perfectly clone Absolu Aventus? Also no. But again, it's not too far off. For an ME clone, Precieux stands at the pinnacle. This is one hell of a fragrance. My only complaint? 55mL. I hate that it's such a small bottle. No matter as I'll end up buying 2 or 3 more bottles anyway. It's worth it. Now the real question; is it better than Supremacy CE? To MY nose, yes, and by a wide margin. Supremacy CE is more screechy and loud, making it good for a younger crowd, which i am not. Supremacy CE focuses on the mossy aspects of the fragrance, which may or may not be off putting to some. Precieux is darker, more sophisticated and beautifully blended. I wear Supremacy CE when i don't know what to wear to the gym, or to get groceries. I wear Precieux if im going out to a nice dinner date, or to a business meeting. Which one is closer to Absolu Aventus? Precieux, and by a long mile. How does Precieux perform? Really well. I get about 3-4 hours of decent projection, and an eternity as a skin scent. It doesn't perform as well as Supremacy CE, but considering the use cases for Precieux, that's ok. You can also wear it year round - same as Supremacy CE. I know that the price may be a no-go for some considering the size of the bottle, but i promise you that it's worth it.

I wore all at once: Creed Aventus Absolu, Armaf Precieux 1, Afnan SCE, Rasasi Awesome, FW Nightclub Absolute. All are clearly in the same scent family—if you like one, you’ll like them all, period. Nightclub Absolute: Closest to the Creed (i tested likely 2025 batch) but also the weakest, similar projection/longevity to Creed. Precieux 1: Stronger and richer/heavier, noticeably deviates from the OG. Chose it over Creed/NA mainly for performance, but price is much higher than NA—judge by budget. Afnan SCE: Biggest deviation from OG, but best-smelling to me. Strongest projection and performance, half the price of Precieux—my favorite overall. Rasasi Awesome: Second closest to OG after NA, but fruitier (ripe, not fresh). Similar performance, maybe slightly stronger. Choice between this and NA depends on mood. Poland prices (approx.): Precieux: 180 PLN / 50 ml SCE: 190 PLN / 100 ml Awesome: 75 PLN / 100 ml Nightclub Absolu: 100 PLN / 100 ml Between NA vs Rasasi: price difference is negligible. Choose NA for closer Creed DNA, Rasasi if you prefer fruitier. Overall: All are good, but Afnan SCE is my top pick. If unavailable, I’d consider Precieux for performance—but price would likely push me toward Awesome/NA instead.

I’m not the type to overhype or exaggerate praise — especially after exploring so many corners of perfumery — but... this one genuinely caught me off guard. CDN Precieux was an unexpected surprise. A premium-feeling fragrance at an accessible price. It carries a distinct aura of luxury — evening, club-ready, confident. To me, it smells like polished silver against deep black. Sleek, sharp, intentional. In this particular case, it’s a dupe that not only competes with Aventus Creed Absolu, but in my opinion actually surpasses it — especially when you factor in price parity and overall performance. It’s intense, with a satisfying sillage, and the longevity is solid and reliable. I’m not praising it for the sake of drama — it genuinely earns its flowers. Give credit where credit is due. It’s a safe blind buy if you like the notes listed. No disappointment here. I don’t detect anything synthetic. It feels like liquid silver — masculine, playful, confident... and yes, sexy. Picture this: a monochrome smart-casual suit, walking into the night fully aware you’ll get what you came for. It has that imposing, composed aura. 9.0/10 in my book.

I’m going to be honest with all of you, I think I enjoyed opening all the packaging this was under before I was able to smell it. Anyone that owns this knows exactly what i’m saying. Ok, now to my review, but seriously, it’s so fun to unbox this. I was a little upset when I first smelled this because it was the normal CDN super sharp pineapple note you get in all of CDN, and I was thinking this would be different, but it was. It took a week and this turned into something great, I just had a super fresh batch. Wait it gets better, another week went by and oh my god, it’s so juicy and makes me mad I even spend 600 on Absolu Aventus but you always have to have it on your shelf either way. It’s gets better, another week went by and it got sweeter and lost most of that initial sharpness. I can’t just recommend this but if you don’t have it and you’re a Aventus fan, drop what your doing and go buy it NOW! I’m buying additional bottles for back up. One thing I didn’t pay attention to was the fluid ounces, it’s a really cool thin higher end CDN bottle so you lose an ounce of juice so maybe just buy 2!

This is a great blind buy and a great fragrance overall. I am on the 2nd week of wearing this fragrance and I've easily gotten SOOO many compliments. First off, the packaging on this stuff is fancy. It has like 3 different layers of packaging you have to get through and even comes with it's own cloth to keep the bottle clean. It took me a bit to get used to this scent, since this opening of this was a little harsh, especially those synthetic peppery notes. However, it dries down to a fresh, pleasing, masculine and sexy scent within 10-20 minutes. You definitely get some "smokey pineapple" notes in the opening and middle, but then move to some smooth and clean woody, vanilla & amber notes in the dry down. The only downsides to this fragrance, IMO, are that it doesn't project for very long (1-2 hours of arms length projection, and 5 hours of skin scent), and the fact that it costs $45 USD for just 1.8oz(55ml)! Nonetheless, I still think this a great fragrance for the price, especially if you're looking for a good date night/party scent that'll have people asking what you're wearing.

To my nose, on my skin these fragrances smell different. They are easily identified as something else, not Precieux I. Supremacy not only intense Supremacy collectors edition Club de nuit intense man Club de nuit Intense man Parfum Club de nuit intense man extrait de parfum Hawas black Vanguard Hacivat Original Aventus (2015-2018, not sure its a decant I got in that timeframe) I own six of those currently, and have worn all of them. They are not that similar to Precieux I. Yes, the same vibe, but distinctly different. I recommend anyone to get samples of various ones, and figure out for yourself which you prefer. You could just buy bottles, full send. But samples will save you some money. At most, I would pick three from the following sets: You might decide to get one of these: Precieux I Aventus Absolu These are the furthest different, so are reasonable in my mind to own one as well: Supremacy CE Hacivat Hawas Black These are the not-absolu version of Aventus, so reasonable to own one of these too: Club de nuit intense man (various versions) Vanguard Aventus

This was the first Absolu clone I bought. I loved it then, and I still love it now. Many others will come and go, but this will probably remain my favorite. Brace yourself for the first 10 minutes. Yes, the opening is synthetic. But after about 30 minutes, everything starts coming together. First, you get the beautiful pineapple and pear. Then the white florals start showing up, followed by the spices. After that, the patchouli and ambroxan come into full effect, giving it a strong masculine base. The woods sit underneath everything and add even more depth. I don’t notice much vanilla. To me, it blends into the warm amber notes, which I like a lot. There’s also a slight smoky note. Very subtle. A lot of Absolu clones overdo the smoke, but this handles it beautifully. You’re going to leave a trail of masculine shower gel wherever you go. It’s more mature than most other clones and less focused on fruit, but it smells so good. Amazing longevity. Amazing sillage. Great all around. You will not regret this if you like the Absolu DNA. 8.75/10

Very woody, if you don't enjoy pine this ain't for you. It's a like not a love from me. Very reminiscent of simple green cleaner but citrusy and clearly higher quality. I've smelled aventus but not absolu and all I can say is I can sense that aventus DNA in the background scent. It smells more like aventus (which in my opinion just smells like acqua di gio) as time goes on. It's a solid cologne, I can see why people like it. A very masculine scent that would be good for a formal event, haven't tested it on clothes yet. The box is definitely overkill, and this cologne is definitely overpriced for the $ amount per ml. I'm sure there are better colognes that hit in the citrus woodsy vibe for less. Seems more like a night time cologne or special event vibe. Update: haven't worn this since my initial review, let it macerate for a few weeks and pineapple finally showed up and this thing smells great. Doesn't project as strong as I expect from middle east colognes but still a banger. Wish it was cheaper in a bigger bottle though.

I don’t know if I have the sophistication to properly explain why this composition captivates like it does But here goes I am a big fan of creed absolu Aventus I have sprayed it on paper next to several of the many hyped and hidden gem clones and dupes and inspirations I have accumulated over the past few years. Keep in mind, Absolu Aventus itself doesn’t just smell “better” it performs in almost a completely different way than most clones and dupes and inspirations This is coming from someone that loves clones... But I’ve come to realize something important ... Most “clones” seem to sit on the item sprayed and emit their aromas from that location. Expensive fragrances seem to disappear into what they are sprayed on and permeate it and emanate all around it. This does the latter, at the price point of the former. What makes this special is it isn’t loud or ostentatious, but It delivers on compositional mastery and gives you an aura of sophistication, at the price point of a clone. I will be getting a back up bottle

I bought this after finishing a bottle of Afnan Supremacy Collectors Edition to compare... They honestly smell similar and VERY good. Not gonna lie. BUT Afnan Supremacy Collectors Edition is: - more sweet - cloying gummybear type of smell. - warm spicy. Armaf Precioux has: - more fresh citrus opening - same sweetness as Afnan, but more milder and less cloying and a tad bit more fresh. It's honestly basically the same, but Afnan is more gummybear like cloying (very good for colder weather) while the Armaf one is a tad bit more fresh. Afnan has extreme nuclear power. I have a coat which is still reeking of it after keeping it in my car for a month. For now I expect Armaf to be a tad bit less powerful than Afnan, but I gotta test it first. Update: wow the very first day at the mosque and some random guy tapped my shoulder asking me what I was wearing and he asked if it was Creed and that it smells really good. Wow. Talk about similarity. This tells it all.

The presentation that goes into this puts most designers to absolute shame; the fact that the juice is also extremely good really makes me wonder why more people don't appreciate just how good some of these houses are now because the quality difference from mideast houses -> conglomerate owned designers has vanished. Yes, niche ingredient quality is still somewhat ahead but not as far as people want to tell themselves. As far as the fragrance itself, it opens with a bright blast of pineapple and tart lemon, immediately followed by caramel and pear which gives it this smooth, creamy sweetness. As it dries down into the base, it becomes more mature, earthy, and woody with notes of oak moss, patchouli, and leather. Do I like it more than Afnan Supremacy Collector's Edition EDP? No, they're just different. Both are incredible and will be a delight to wear each time I pull them out.

Had it for about 5 months, worn it a lot, solid scent with a lot of depth, a little fruity with a pinneapple and wood opening, dries down to a less sweet and more earthy/gently floral smell, projection is moderate/strong but it leaves a trail that follows you and can last for SEVERAL days. (as a result a room where this is sprayed often might constantly smell like the scent, making you noseblind to it, especially if it is your signature scent, but just be conscious of its strength) But overall I don't have any complaints about the smell and performance. Masculine, long lasting, and a well executed dupe of Aventus Absolu. (the bottle is on the small side but for what it is value is quite solid, packaging is a little excessive, and the atomizer could be nicer, but this is about the smell, and on that end it is fantastic and versatile)

I am revisiting this fragrance after a few weeks, and I kinda like it more now. As I'm typing this, I am sniffing it side by side with the Sauvage EDT and EDP (I am aware this is inspired by Creed) and honestly—on the drydown this smells closer to Sauvage EDT (2025 formulation) than the EDP does. That anise + nutmeg on the Sauvage EDP just smells too different. The Precieux seems to be a potentially better all-season bridge that remains close to the Sauvage EDT's scent profile with that ambroxan-cedar-musky base; while still being its own darker, woodier self. The higher price tag compared to other dupes makes more sense to me now. TLDR: It's fucking good. I can't stop sniffing it. ✅Excellent

A refreshing, uplifting, and highly mass-appealing masterpiece. In my opinion, this is the best Club de Nuit fragrance currently available. Unlike many fragrances in this price range, it contains none of the cheap alcohol blast or synthetic fruity-floral notes that often dominate similar scents. The composition feels remarkably refined, so much so that if this fragrance had been released under a niche house or a luxury private collection, it could easily justify a price tag of $300 or more. Its vibrant and energetic character makes it especially suitable for younger generations, while it may feel slightly less fitting for middle-aged or senior wearers. Overall rating: 10/10.
