El Cielo Pour Homme

Armaf El Cielo Pour Homme EDP opens with a moderate projection of sweet, citrus, fruity, and floral notes. The opening is fresh, delectable, blue, and very pleasant. The melon, apple, and bergamot are the opening most prominent notes. The melon and apple create a delicious note, fruity, fresh, tropical, and inviting. The apple is evocative of fuji apple, sweet, with a slight citrusy touch. The melon is also sweet, tropical with a cucumber-like touch. The bergamot and lemon are the opening projecting and sharpening notes, they make the fragrance feel fresh and enhance the fruity notes. The lavender is two steps behind, a clean, herbal, and floral note. As the fragrance moves to its dry down and by the side of the lavender, the violet surfaces with a sweet, powdery, airy, and azonic accord; similarly, the vanilla becomes noticeable with a mild but noticeable sweet touch. The cypress and cedar are the woody support notes, just a fresh touch in the background. The musk and amber are also supporting notes in the background. The fragrance has a noticeable opening to dry down change, the opening is bright, citrusy, sparkly, fruity, and intense. Towards the dry down, this initial brightness relaxes a bit under the powdery notes of the violet that grown quickly, the musk grows as well with a lemony and mild powdery touch, and the cedar and cypress add their fresh woody notes. Once Armaf El Cielo Pour Homme EDP has reached its full dry down, it can be summarized as a moderate projection, sweet vanilla, fruity melon, apple, citrusy bergamot, powdery violet, musk, and woody fragrance with light ambery accords. The fragrance feels blue, casual, comforting, delicious, dry, energizing, powdery floral, fresh, fruity, intense, inviting, moderate-quality, modern, powdery musky, nicely-blended, playful, refreshing, sharp, short-lived, sour, sparkly, sweet, unisex, versatile, woody, young, zesty, and pleasant.

I came across this scent only by chance after browsing thru Lulu Hypermarket's lineup of perfume sale online. I was looking for great summer fragrances for men that are affordable but so far there are only few of them after checking with fragrance "experts" in youtube. Most of recommendations so far are duds and disappointments. But after seeing these glowing reviews for this scent here in fragrantica, I decided to go directly to the store and indeed, ended up buying the scent. This is my second Armaf bottle after Club De Nuit Intense for Men. The box/packaging is very good, it has a smooth plastic composite feel that makes you think that its a waterproof box. The bottle is beautifully designed but the upper part of it connecting the nozzle and the cap is loosely sealed. So trying to squeeze a juice or two requires a very careful handling and practice. Not really a big deal here. Talking about the scent, there are two words I can quickly think of. INVICTUS and EROS. It's about 85% PR Invictus and the remaining 15% belongs to Versace Eros, because of its minty component especially the drydown on your skin. This mint component is not listed in the official notes but it's also possible that I may be wrong here. Maybe the culprit is cypress and vanilla. This fragrance is a hybrid, but not a kind of Frankenstein hybrid. It's a nice and great combination actually. I also agree with other reviewers here who also smell traces of Coach for Men especially in the opening. The opening scent is awesome. But unlike Coach for Men, longevity is not an issue here. Now I have yet to test drive this if it can survive the summer/desert heat. My Invictus fared good, my Diesel Only the Brave fared well, and even my Nautica Voyage also performed well (heck, even my Burberry Summer fought toe-to-toe with the heat considering its weak longevity). But so far, I am loving the smell that is coming from this bottle and sprayed to my body. The affordable cost is a bonus! Overall rating (so far) is 8.1/10 Batch: 230972 PD: 03/2017 ED: 03/2022 Made in France

El Cielo, the name suits it perfectly. I purchased this as a new fragrance for the spring-time but this scent is pure SUMMER! This is going to be MY after Memorial day fragrance! A wonderful bright freshie scent indeed, but I'd recommend wearing this mainly on a bright, sunny, warm to hot day! If I had to compare it another fragrance the closest likeness would be 1989's Clairborn for Men! I'm not saying this is a clone of Clairborn but E.C.is a very similar TYPE of fragrance. Both share that casual, beach going kind of vibe, I DEFINITELY recommend El Cielo to anyone male or female looking for a solid summer scent! I honestly keep sniffing my wrist because of it smelling so darn sweet and tasty! So, this is definitely a WIN of a blind buy! Get it for wearing on all summer-time occasions. It is light yet longlasting, casual to well dressed, safe and unisex! The bottle alone is just fun and very attractive. Personally, I have no criticisms to offer other than I have to wait a couple of months to start wearing it full-time. El Cielo is worth the wait! Thumbs up to Armaf!

At first I liked it, but wasn't as satisfied died as I hoped. While I was walking around later I kept getting wafts of this wonderful aroma and questioned is that me? I came to the conclusion that the sillage is amazing. Very smooth with that vanilla almost pepper in there. It must be the wood accord. Up close it is very youthful with that melon. But arm's length the vanilla does its magic. I got complemented 5 hrs after I applied it. Out side. I couldn't smell it. I thought it went away and my buddy said wow that smells amazing whatever it is. It's a safe blind buy. Not offensive in any way. Especially if you like freshies. Scent 8/10 Longevity 6.5/10 Projection 5/10 dead average on my skin Price 9/10 It was a winner blind buy to me.

I blind bought this Fragrance after seeing a few reviewers on YouTube and thought it looked good. I was not disappointed. This fragrance opens up and smells awesome in the heat. For the first few hours it is a sweet, fruity and citrusy fragrance with a fresh squeezed lemon in there to set it off. After about 3-4 hours this fragrance enters a vanilla phase, very pleasant and loses the citrus edge. And finally, there is a final stage to this fragrance at around 8 hours where it becomes a nutty and creamy fragrance that may be a skin scent but very detectable to my nose. Projection on this one is about 2-3 hours and longevity is 8+ hours and this gem holds a spot on my hot weather rotation.
