Sapphire

It's my first day with this one so I'll probably come back to write a more in depth review. So far it's pretty amazing; opening is beautiful and citrusy, dry down is nice and clean aquatic and woody; I don't really get any sweetness in the fragrance but that could be because I only did about three sprays on each wrist and one on the chest. After spraying about an hour ago sillage is decent in the beginning, but becomes more of a skin scent after about an hour or so. I'd recommend a healthy amount of sprays if you're looking for performance. Really great for the office or something more casual, and I think a guy of any age could wear this, but does lean towards 20s-30s. Just pleasantly masculine.

I'm quite surprised at this really excellent smelling Aquatic fragrance. Another awesome production scent by Armaf who do produce some very well blended scents which are copies of course. I give this one a big 10 out of 10 because the longevity and silage are well above average from a beautiful smelling fragrance. For £25 this is a steal at that price and this one completes my Niche collection!

This to me smells like Versace Eros with Bubblegum. To me this is nothing like Invictus but wayyy better than the OG. On my skin it lasts +12hrs and on my clothes +24 -48hrs. I’ll always own this scent, it’s a 10/10 and my girlfriend loves it and only wants me to wear it in special occasions. This is definitely one of my favourite scents of all time 🔥🔥🔥

Side by side to Hawas they smell very very similar. Except Hawas has a bit of that richer/sweeter fruit smell mixed in with the watery notes. But you really have to go back in forth between the two for that to stand out. Very similar! So yeah, Sapphire is basically Invictus Aqua 2016. $27. Nice presentation. Spot on smell. Can't beat it!

Out of all the niche line I wonder why this one is the worse when it comes to performance?the whole niche line is edp but reviewers are saying it last only 3 hours?something is wrong here,either hatred towards this cause it smells better than invictus aqua or a case of bad skin,by far the best replacement for invictus aqua 2016

To confirm the longevity of this frag I sprayed 1 spray on my forearm at 10am and at 6pm I can still smell it,its a true edp and it smells closest to invictus aqua 2016 more than mont blanc legend spirit and hawas and for 35 bucks this is a absolute gem

Regularly wearing it from past 4 months. I can officially declare that it smells like if Invictus Aqua and Versace Eros had a child. Pleasing smell but projection and lasting power is just ok to my observation, max 3 hours even with 10 sprays.

Well...not bad at all! Blind bought it yesterday for 11€, a cheapie! It.s a nice fresh summer fragrance, has a little resemblance with Eros Versace but not so sweet. Worth a try!

Nice refreshing fruity aquatic scent, but sadly i need to agree with other guys, it performs really bad. Almost no projection after 30 min, continues light skin scent.

Very long lasting for being an Aquatic fragrance! I get about 10hrs of Longevity and 3-5hrs of sillage. Allaround 8/10 🌊🌊🔥🔥

There's so many arrmaf options out there, it's likely this one gets lost. I picked this up super cheap - £19.99. it's a very decent sweet leaning citrus freshie with what I assume is that synthetic bubblegum note people talk about. I'd say unisex really, but leaning masculine. Apparently it's similar to one of the Invictus Aqua lines, but I don't own it so can't say, but typically Armaf fragrances do a good job of replicating scent profiles. It's not the be best bottle in my small collection, but I can see it continuing to be an easy reach and spray kinda bottle for me. Decent for the price for sure. Wish this one lasted a bit longer, I'm getting about 4 hours max then it fades. However it's v cheap so I can just re-apply as needed. Very simple stylish minimalist bottle - feels heavy in the hand and looks good on display. That's fairly unusual for Arrnaf who typically make bolder statements with their bottles (love or hate) Blind buy safe and versatile if you can dig the slightly sweeter notes.

This is like Davidoff Cool Water, but it smells more modern and better. First thing that you notice is that this mineral/salt note jumps at you, but it's somehow not as dry and rough as in DCW, but more juicy watery. It has a slight grapefruit note that reminds me of the Versace Dylan Blue. Like Davidoff Cool Water, but reinterpreted as modern blue type fragrance. After seeing the Eros in the similiar section... I kinda get that. The fragrance has this vanilla undertone, and it also has mint and woody molecules (I mainly smell vetiver) that create a similar accord to Versace Eros. I would describe it as if you took the character of Davidoff CW, but then put it into the musk formula of Versace Eros, making it more modern and naturall smelling. Also less harsh. TLDR - It's very nice, mineral/salty fragrance with modern blue twist. Definitely not unisex though.

This perfume has a lot going on at the same time. It has the Invictus aqua opening with less of the salty aquatic notes, heavier violet, and a little bit of Eros minus the vanilla. On me it gets sweeter with the dry down but I’d say anyone can rock this. It says it’s unisex but I’d say it’s more masculine. Lasts around 8 hours on my skin and is noticeable on clothes the day after. Bottle looks elegant and lives up to its name “niche”. It comes with a velvet-like stand with a lid. Nice for decoration of course but has no purpose in my opinion. Unfortunately the cap is a bit tricky and stiff and the sprayer may not be the best quality. It comes cheap and it’s a crowd pleaser, daily driver/office use safe. Like!

Its my first Armaf from outside the CdN line and a blind buy. I paid about 21$ for it and you can tell. Sure, its pleasant, bubble gum sweet and fresh, the violet leaf note is really standing out, but the performance is really dissapointing. My wife and colleagues could not smell it on me in about an hour even after I oversprayed both on body and clothes. .. Sticks close to the skin. So a yes for the smell, no for the performance

#583 in my "Tour de Fragrance" So let's settle this. Paco Rabanne Invictus on the left wrist, Armaf Niche Sapphire on the right. They are similar. The Armaf does not have the screechiness of the Yuzu in the Invictus. Invictus lacks the mint and ginger notes of the Armaf which in my opinion makes the Armaf a nicer, smoother, more attractive scent, especially in the opening, as initially the Invictus comes off shrill, which is probably why, though I've had it more than year now, I've never taken the Invictus off the shelf. Armaf is also better over time when the Invictus comes off flat and dry. The Armaf isn't a whole lot better, but it is better. If you have any Invictus, Versace Dylan Blue, Versace Man Fraiche, Rasasi Hawas, Dunhill Desire Blue, Bond No 9 Lafayette Street, Jaguar Classic Gold, Nautica, you've covered, and this would add nothing to your scent palette. For me, the blues are all pretty much interchangeable, and all pretty much indifferent performers, and something I just throw on before heading out for the day in the summertime when even the Tommy Bahamas may get used. This scent is completely inoffensive, good for the carpool, the elevator, the office, more day wear than evening wear. For warmer weather, but not blazing heat and humidity. Not a date scent for me, but no blue is. Not for the club. Overall not a bad scent, but nothing special. Moderate performance for longevity and sillage, so probably not gonna get noticed much. Appropriately priced for what you get.

No-no-no: this isn't "for men or women", it's for men undoubtedly. Well, it's FOR anyone, but you won't walk away smelling feminine. As seen in other reviews, this mimics specific men's fragrances, which I can't verify, but I know it smells like so many prominent scents I can smell on men; never women. It's sharply aquatic and strong enough that if you're not careful, you're going to be one of those guys who leaves everything he touches or everyone he hugs unwillingly smelling like Sapphire. To me it smells a bit too mainstream leaving me not so impressed.

Fresh and green Herbal and minty citrus opening with a spicy/peppery , ginger and woody base. I get the blue aquatic vibes and a little touch of amber notes too. Great performance and is a solid pickup especially with good prices all over the internet. Mine has a cough medicine vibe going on but I think that’s due to my bottle being quite a few years old as I don’t remember it having this some time ago. Great for fresh sunny days but is still kinda heavy enough for winter too.

This is powerful af. I got an old batch and this can easily perform in the winter as well, i put on like 4 sprays and it was clawing in the WINTER - JANUARY. It cuts trough the cold like nothing else, it's invictus aqua but more powerful. I say limit it to 3 sprays in you really want to stand out. My was a long forgotten and torn up packaging example, picked it up for someting like 17eur - 20usd on sale and with a heavy discount. Produced 12/2021 in France, batch 345133, 01916

For me the closest clone of PRA 2016 in terms of smell. Beautiful! In terms of longevity - i get around 4 hours with 4-5 spray's. But the atomizer? It's really bad. It gives a big spray but very short range. I need to get it really close to the body (5-7cm).

To my nose this smell like any blue cologne. Definitely more spicy than Ysl Y or acqua di Gio. If i still was interested in blue cologne I would prefer this one more. Dislike just because it isn’t for me. But nice.

A nauseating ambroxan loaded Desaster...but for 25 bucks I'll probably get over it.

Everything is just so subtle and quiet about this fragrance (and I wonder if we're all smelling the same thing, especially when I see another review warning to limit yourself to one spray). This is the very definition of office safe and "non-offensive". Seems the mission was: Take aquatic, take herbaceous-powdery, take some spice, turn down the knobs to 1-3 range and make sure it becomes a skin scent from opening to dry-down. It's nice, but no one will know, only you by pressing you nose to your skin. On strip or clothing it's violet leaf powdery and watery notes that dominate. On my skin it the same, but I do hints of a more blue-aquatic fragrance (albeit, if you sprayed it 24 hours ago and you picking up on it's fading trace. Even for the price, because it such a mundane whisper of a scent, this is a pass. *For reference, my go-to safe office scents include Givenchy Gentleman (2016), ARMAF Tres Nuit, KC Black Bold, CK Euphoria, Pasha Noire de Cartier, and Hugo Bottled Unlimited. I would not reach for Niche Sapphire before any of these. Even though it smell nothing like what I have.

I totally agree with @kamilpieczaba. Unlike other clones, which also share standard Invictus vibe with Invictus Aqua, this is just straight going for Invictus Aqua with a touch of a Versace Eros in the background. This is just so, so nice, beautiful scent. Fantastic for hot summer nights near the beach or pool. I tried Mont Blanc Legend Spirit (for most people best clone), it's also very nice but that gives me something like hairspray vibe, which Armaf Sapphire doesn't. As you can see in the votes and comments, projection and longevity are very polarising. When i got this, instantly doesn't seemed to preform well, but when you forgot about it and let it macerate it's way better, especially when it's very hot and sweating outside, then it lasts easily 7-8 hours with nice projection for about 1,5-2hours.

It smells very similar to my Abercrombie Together, but Abercrombie is 17373926x better, I swear this thing has a very disgusting note, I don't know which one it is, it smells like a** and it ruins the whole thing, it makes me angry to even think that I paid for such a fragrance, weird that nobody hasn't mentioned here before, defect batch? Idk, I'll give it time to see if it develops and this note disappears.

Just received a decant of this, purchased from an eBay seller. This would be a great replacement for Invictus Aqua. It's that plus added Ambroxan and maybe a touch of the vanilla/mint combo from Eros. Can't comment on performance yet but it's still going strong almost 3 hours in. Wouldn't be surprised if this ends up being just as popular as Rasasi Hawas.

I love how straightforward this fragrance is; inoffensive, clean, versatile. My wife bought this fragrance for me for our wedding anniversary and I have been wearing it to work daily for the past two weeks.
