Shades

امروز عصر اینو تست کردم که از نظر من عطر خیلی خوشبویی بود با رایحه ملایم و شیرین چوبی میوه ای و کمی گیاهی و خیلی کم رایحه چای سیاه که البته این بوها روی پوست من حس میشد و روی لباس تست نکردم پخش متوسط برای یکی دو ساعت با ۴ پاف و ماندگاری حدود ۳ الی ۴ ساعت مناسب مهمونی یا تیپ نیمه رسمی و بیشتر مردانه برای هوای معتدل یا کمی خنک اما بنظرم تا حدی قابل استفاده خانمها نیز میتونه باشه فضای آشنایی داشت اما رایحه خاص بود و یادم نیومد شبیه چه عطر دیگه ای بود اما همینکه بوی خوبی داشت بعدا ممکنه در فکر خریدش باشم امتیاز ۸ از ۱۰ بطور کلی برای این رایحه ------------------------------------------------------------------ This evening I tested this EDT , which in my opinion was a very fragrant perfume with a mild and sweet woody , fruity and slightly herbal scent and very little black tea scent , of course these scents were felt on my skin and I did not test it on my clothes . Medium sillage for one or two hours with 4 puffs and lasting about 3 to 4 hours . Suitable for parties or semi-formal and mostly masculine type for moderate or slightly cool weather , but I think it can be used to some extent by women as well . It had a familiar atmosphere but the scent was special and I did not remember what other perfume it was like , but since it smelled good , I might think about buying it later . Overall rating 8 out of 10 for this fragrance

A very distant cousin of La Nuit De L’home!! Bit of Montblanc Individuel as well! I smell Violet, Plum, lavender (though it is not mentioned), Bergamot, cardamom, musk, cedar wood and sandalwood very prominently!! Very inoffensive regular use perfume for fall and winter in my honest opinion. Of late Armaf have converted all their EDTs into EDPs during re formulation and hence silage and projection has gone a bit better than what I read in the yesteryear comments below. I am not a skin sprayer as I get irritation & allergy and hence spray my perfumes generously on my clothes only (10-12 generous sprays). Lasts around 6-7 hours with 1-1.5 hours of decent projection. Becomes a skin scent effectively after 5 hours but has a faint trail and bubble around you even after that. Not a high silage or projection perfume so can wear easily in office. Preferably a day time wear during winters!! For the price Armaf sells it go for it if you are a person like me who does not like too sweet, oud or amber based perfumes during winters!!

This is unique to most of my fragrances. I really love the opening. The plum note is one I'm really growing fond of. I haven't smelled Paco Rabanne Black XS so I can't compare. I do get some of Mont Blanc Individuel in here and some Original Santal. I also get some vetiver a la Dunhill Icon. Overall a very pleasing fragrance I am happy to own.

I personally feel this is one of the hidden gem of Armaf about who not much people talk about in the perfume industry! This definitely deserves a bit more hype and praise especially for them who absolutely do not like nauseating beast mode projection perfumes during fall and winters!!

this is a fine cross between Mont Blanc individual 30% and La nuit De L'homme (70%), longevity is moderate, 2-3 hours, but if you love those two frags....look in to this, good fragrance, worth the money

Masculine, not sweet. ideal for the office. does not last long, about 4 hours

This is such a hidden gem. It deserves the hype. Smell pleasant.

its a copy of la nuit de l'homme....get this fast

I don't have much to say about this fragrance's smell profile. Generally, I’m not a fan of typical summer men's scents, and this one falls right into that predictable category. It’s a common 80s-style barbershop fragrance — so similar to countless others on the market that its uninspired composition barely registers. In its defense, it does have some noticeable fruity notes, but even these feel tacked on rather than thoughtfully integrated. It’s moderately lasting with medium projection, and there isn’t much of a change as it develops; it remains fresh and somewhat sharp throughout. It's the kind of fragrance that could easily lead to overspraying in a futile attempt to extract something more meaningful. It does indeed bear resemblance to Armaf Tres Nuit, Armaf Le Parfait Pour Homme, and Rasasi Egra, but in my opinion, it is the most ordinary among them — content to linger quietly in the background while others effortlessly take center stage. It's decent, but for €15, there are plenty of hidden gems among Middle Eastern fragrances that offer more personality and depth. This one feels like a missed chance — a scent crafted for someone who is resigned to blending in the background. This is a simple fragrance for an unremarkable person. If you want to remain unnoticed but still smell pleasant enough, this bottle is for you. An interesting note: my bottle is labeled as Eau de Parfum, while the graphic shows Eau de Toilette, and I’ve even seen it referred to as Eau de Cologne elsewhere. It’s as if even the labeling can’t quite decide what this fragrance is supposed to be — a small detail that perfectly mirrors the overall ambivalence of the scent. One thing I must say — I find it baffling that some people compare this to Joop! Homme, the most obnoxious fragrance I've ever owned. They have nothing in common, and to suggest otherwise feels like a stretch. Overall, it's absolutely normal. Moreover, I believe this fragrance could suit virtually any man, making it an exceptionally safe choice.

This is nice! I know Shades Blue and Shades Wood get the most attention but this I would say has an overall better smell than Blue, I have not tried Wood yet though. It's a slightly sweet, slightly dark, slightly fruity masculine scent. I would say this is in the direction of YSL La Nuit De L'Homme and MB Individuel like others mention. For cheap you should give this a try! It was a blind buy for me and a very good one! I give this a 8.7/10 This is one of those fragrances when you smell it close up on your skin it is a little synthetic but in the air and through the projection and sillage this smells amazing.

This is a clean and sharp barbershop/aftershave style fragrance, very masculine. The two most similar scents I can think of are Proraso's green eucalyptus/mint aftershave splash and Gillette shaving foam. If you want a sharp fragrance then this is great. IMO however, other Armaf fragrances like Hunter and Tag-Him display more interesting nuance whereas with this one, the clean sharpness is front and center and the subtleties like pineapple are near impossible to pick out in the midst of that. This is the quintessential sharp cologne for men, so expect exactly that

It reminds of Mont Blanc Individuel, but not as good. The viole note give it a bitter edge. The smooth slightly sweet spice of Individuel or Santal is replaced in Shades with a bitter woody bite. This is unpleasant. Italiano Nero is the Armaf that smells like Black XS. It is nice. This is not and smells cheap. There are great Armafs: Tres Nuit, Club de Nuit Intense, Derby Club House, Craze, Just for You.

Smells kinda like Mont Blanc Individuel.. It is sweet but not as syrupy sweet like Joop. The note breakdown is more similar to Paco Rabanne XS and Creed Himalaya Water...it's been a while since I've smelled both of these so I can't give an accurate comparison. Longevity - 7/10 Sillage - 7/10 Projection - 7.5/10 Scent - 7/10 Value - 8/10

Update I sprayed it today on a very cold day and the good Shades was there. Like Individuel (a favorite), but spicier and more prominent pepper hints and plummy fruit. It IS good, but inferior to Individuel. The Mont Blanc is a better scent, but Shades is very good and smells like real quality. I detect no similarity with PR Black XS.

I just got this and i really like it! Its what i've been looking for... A fresh, sharp, mens cologne. Knowing that most of these frags get better over time i am looking forward to spend time with this one. Worth the money for sure! First impressions... 8.5/10!

This is great for the office and daily wear. Nothing out of this world but it smells good.

I own the shades blue of this product. A strong yet an attractive perfume.

First off, by far the nicest bottle in the Armaf collection. It is fancy and elegant. The juice inside matches that theme. Very soapy, with hint of freshness. Definitely not an everyday fragrance, and quite honestly not my favorite. If you love soapy fragrances though, this is for you.

Have not had a chance to try Creed - Original Santal yet to compare the two, however this scent on its own is absolutely beautiful, to my nose i'm getting a cross between 3 different frags, definitely getting the Joop - Homme vibe from it mixed with a little Davidoff - Adventure (in the opening) but possibly a little more than the others a bit of Dolce and Gabbana pour Homme (I haven't had a bottle of this since it was sticker version, so this may have changed slightly). Over all the scent is great value for money and is of the usual high standard juice we have come to expect from Armaf.

Every review I have read and watched on this could not identify what shades is trying to accomplish. Let me help everyone. This is not a clone but in the category of “TYPE. The fragrance I’m talking about is Versace’s the dreamer. Shades through the mid into the dry down is a dead ringer for the dreamer. If you are a fan of the dreamer and want equal projection and longevity Armaf’s shades is your ticket.

I blind bought this and I am very disappointed. I thought it was a Santal type cologne. Mine smells like pure sandalwood. No sweetness whatsoever. I also bought Tag Him (Bleu de Chanel clone) and it smells very sharp like cedar chips. My Club de Nuit smells amazing but these other two are way off. Has anyone else had that problem? I don't get it. I'll probably never use Armaf again except for CDNIM.

I quite like this perfume. Don't know if it's similar to Original Santal but it's very unique and pleasant. However the projection and longevity are very average.

Havnt smelled creeds original santal but wish i had smelled. I like the scent its lite and sofisticated best with a white shirt n jean .

Clean, crisp, masculine with just the right amount of sweetness to it thanks to the plum. Very light. It's synthetic. But the good kind.

Would anyone say this is fine for indoors if not any other armaf. Thanks

Looking for Shades Blue. It’s a different product than this.

Please add shades blue, it's a clone of blu de chanel.

@TheHoesLoveIt the hoes gonn love it ahh reply 😂

Loving this frag BUT ? Where are the notes???
