The Pride of Armaf For Men

This is the first "House of Armaf" fragrance I have come to own. I purchased it on Amazon (before I knew about Foreverlux.com) this past July and it's simply amazing! It smells fruity and spicy when you first spray it...then after about 30 minutes it settles down to this warm and fuzzy kinda vanilla spice peachy scent that I just looooove. This one, I've never gotten any mention from anyone else that they can smell it or like the way it smells...but I LOVE the way this one smells so much I don't care. As long as I can smell it on me in my little scent-bubble of heaven...I'm good! :D I have to spray it on me at least 3 times on my chest to get it to stay smell-able for more than 4 hours. I don't know if I'm doing it right, but it's working for me. I think I may spray it twice on my chest, then once on my wrists and sides of my neck...might be overkill...will have to test it out and see if I don't make my eyes water...lol. It doesn't seem to last as long as my other Armaf cologne, CDNIM, but it's very nice. I think that I will wear this one in the winter and spring, and CDNIM for the summer and fall...yeah, that will work. Awesome box that it comes in...little velvet lined sarcophagus thing...using it to store my other items. :) Lets see...production info... BATCH: 290492, e100ml PD-11/2019 ED-11/2024 Made in France 27JAN22 UPDATE: Received a compliment on this one today...TWICE...from the most important person on the planet...My wife!!! This one just got bumped to "Favorite" status. 11APR22 UPDATE: Man, this thing still absolutely kills!! This is definitely one of my top 5 fragrances! Nothing but positive compliments when I wear it. Need to get a few backup bottles soon.

This to me smells more like Sauvage EdP rather than the EdT. It doesn't have the pepper notes that Sauvage EdT has and is smother with added vanilla in the background. For the price you can't go wrong with this fragrance if you like Sauvage style fragrances...which i do. I agree with reviewers who say that this fragrance does improve in strength, longevity and silage as it ages. I bought this last summer and it does seem stronger this summer than i remember it being last summer. Having said that, i would rate the longevity and silage as moderate, although i find this increases slightly if also sprayed on clothes. However, i think i paid just over £20 for 100ml, so it won't break the bank if you keep topping up the fragrance throughout the day. Armaf do have some weird and strange bottles in their range, but this bottle i think looks great and feels solid and heavy. The box it comes in is very nice too. My only slight gripe is that the sprayer does tend to leak a little bit. I tend to wear this for work and general knocking about; it won't offend anyone (unless they hate the Sauvage range) and you know you'll be smelling nice. I wear Sauvage in the evening when i'm out socially with family and friends (i can't justify to myself paying Sauvage prices for work fragrances).

I've been eyeballing Sauvage EDP for months, carefully watching prices, trying not to get mixed up ordering the Parfum instead of EDP version and I just can't justify buying it now. I have 3 dupes that all smell very similar to the various versions of Sauvage and these dupes all have their own unique qualities while doing a good job mimicking the expensive brand. Pride of Armaf is the closest of my 3 to being almost Indistinguishable between the formulations unless you're a connoisseur or an expert perfumiere. The scent profile is nearly identical with only nuances of different ingredients shining through over others. This one has a mossy accent instead of balsamic, more vanilla instead of amber, a tiny bit spicier and a little less woody. It's close enough that I will not be buying Sauvage EDP any time soon. Armaf's: Ventana is more woody, herbal and floral, not as sweet. Art Du'Parfum is sweeter, less spicy, more cedar forward. 9.5/10 Can't tell the difference enough to care. Will wear often.

What a fantastic scent at an unbelievably low price. This reminds me of Prada Luna Rossa Carbon. Spicy citrus up front and on the dry down its a nice, creamy, a little spicy vanilla, tonka beanish scent. I get easily 6 hours out of this. You would think you are wearing a $100 scent. So happy this is part of my collection. Worthy of a blind buy (just as I did). Buy with confidence. Can't go wrong for a total of $32 w/delivery. 04/24/2024 Update: After smelling Dior Sauvage quite a few times, this is a dead ringer for it. If you're a fan of DS then you should pick this up. It's an excellent scent. Perfect for warmer weather but can be worn all year round, day & night.

Honestly not sure how The Pride flies under the radar compared to other major Sauvage clones. I bought it before I had ever smelled Sauvage, and had to ask someone what they were wearing when I smelled something familiar: indeed, they had the "real thing" on (which they were very proud of). It's good. Decently powerful, and it stays a while. I know Sauvage is viewed largely as a summer scent, but I like The Pride as a cool-weather casual fragrance myself. If I recall, my wife told me I smelled like a teenager trying hard when I first wore it and asked her her impression... A similar response to the one she gave to CDNIM. Oh well.

This is more akin to almost a Luna Rossa Carbon EDP imagination more than any Sauvage, its honestly amazing and I find myself grabbing it more often than not, it doesn't try to do anything crazy and yet nails everything fairly well. Drydown is like a lemon fig cookie with a hint of pepper. If you want more of the Sauvage appeal, you can always layer with ambroxan, but it does mighty fine on its own. Definitely a recommend, and after owning all forms of comparable Sauvage, I enjoy wearing this more than them. (EDT,EDP,Parfum...Elixir is it's own beast)

It does smell quite similar to Sauvage, with that being said I think it has its own sorta scent going on in the dry down. It’s a very nice sweet scent, perfect for spring and summer. I enjoy it very much, performance is good too (nothing spectacular) and lasts about 5-6 hours with normal projection. I do tend to overspray it because it smells quite nice. Overall I’d give this a 8/10 because I enjoy wearing it

Certified value banger, id only call it in the family of dior but not a clone. probably 70-80% but this one could stand alone. However this smells more like dior than dior does to itself. if you didnt know the prices and names and sprayed each, you would prefer this one. Great performance, not cheap synthetic, very versatile and masculine with a perfect tiny touch of vanilla.

if you can imagine Club de Nuit Intense on trenbolone, that would be The Pride of Armaf, with dry ambroxan, vanilla and bitter grass- without ISO E Super nor pineapple which CdNI has. One notice, Armaf Pride works only on my clothes, for some reason doesn't last or smell nearly as strong on skin. However, I can't care less as it's great just the way it is.

This is definitely Sauvage Eau de Parfum. It's a smoother and creamier version to Armaf Ventanna. Pride of Armaf also lasts a lot longer and isn't as harsh with the citruses. This is the best clone of Sauvage edp in my opinion. The more I wear sauvage and its clones/dupes, the more I realize that women can pull this scent off as well.

Definitely very Sauvage-like. Don't know if Ventana is a better clone or not as I haven't smelled it. It's similarity (or lack thereof) to Sauvage is secondary. It is a great smelling, relatively inexpensive scent with good longevity and sillage. It can work in casual and more formal occasions. A people pleaser at a great price.

The same DNA as sauvage edt but with a twist. I love it but on my skin it doesn't last long. Around 6 hours and doesn't projects well. For a cheap dupe of sauvage, it's fairly good, especially it has some twist that goes slighty different than sauvage edt. Solid choice and blind buy safe if you like sauvage edt.

This one has made me not wearing for a long time neither the edt or the edp. This stands among this two making owning both of them redundant as the combination of both of edt and edp is better than each one as a stand alone fragrance and if you also put the price factor in the equation this is an amazing pick

I am really astonished by this. A real pride for the house. A creamier version of sauvage, which I prefer more, you will fill the room with this and people will talk about u after u left. I spray it on morning and my wife gets overwhelmed at night. My favorite number one signature scent for the time being.

This is not a fully accurate clone but it's in the same vein and it actually does have some unique positives like the lemon and the cinnamon/nutmeg. I'd say this is better on its own terms than it is at cloning Sauvage Couldn't pass for Sauvage but it could pass for being a Sauvage flanker

Smells like a mix of DS EDT & DS EDP to me, minus some of the sharper Ambroxan notes. Smells closer to DS than Prada Luna Rossa Carbon. Better than Armaf Ventana and Ajmal Kuro to me, but I'm biased towards DS EDP. Overall an excellent DS clone.

I like Dior Savuage Edt, especially after it dries down. This is better. If you have a male friend or cousin who is not into fragnances and your not sure as well. Get them this if they are 15, 25 or ever 35 and above. Truly mazing value.

Beautiful juice! Compared it to Sauvage sample, smells very similar. Apart from that, this is my go to juice for office as well as dates. My girl loves it. definately a signature worthy in affordable budget. Scent - 8/10 Longevity - 7/10

I carry it in my bag. After 3-4 hour i spray it repeatedly. When i started to use it was not something special but after 7-10 days i loved it. It's very addictive. Smell: 9/10 Projection: 7/10 Longevity: 6/10 Price: 5/10

Blind by worthy. Opening a little harsh may be for citrus but after 10 min its good. Gives a gentleman vive with background sexy tone :) It would perform more good specially projection. Overall 7.5/10
