A spicy fragrance

This was a blind buy that didn’t disappointed me at all. It is a spicy fragrance, at the opening you fell a sharp citrus with cardamom and cinnamon the two most dominant notes. A very pleasant smell with high longevity and projection. The bottle is great and the packaging is one of the best I have seen.

Roger Bird on the cheep

know II am going to get some furrowed brows and head shakes but, for me this is reminiscent of something Roja Dove might produce, not in terms of quality but in essence. It has that old classic chypre style that Roja seems to push for men.

I get the impression of a classic that has been revived but (unfortunately) quite cheaply, Like a really bad CGI Dirk Bogarde doing a cameo in a Tyler Perry Madea film. That's the jarring element, the cheapness if this wasn't so lacking in quality it would be very close to being a very perfect cheap Chypre. But the longer I wore it the more it wore on my tolerance and I couldn't really hack it, maybe if I just wore 1-2 sprays

Spicy Peppery

At first i did not like this at all but after a while it started to grow on me.
Ground black pepper i smell a lot although it is not listed.
It used to be harsh and sharp but after a year it became smoother.
Definitely for mature, serious, no nonsense guys that u just understand to not mess with.
Smells quite different and kinda on the darker side.
Good one in my opinion.

Dry Cardamom Punch

I have to admit one thing: I like it, even though it comes across as a bit angular and harsh....

But let's start from the beginning:
I bought it blind and without reading anything about it beforehand, simply out of curiosity. I also wanted to see if Armaf offers a similarly good quality as Lataffa (at least based on my previous experience). Uhhh... I'm not so sure....

First, about the exterior:
Simple, but sturdy, round box covered in velvet with a removable top part, the bottom piece where the fragrance sits is covered in artificial leather. Visually nice and compact.
The bottle is round, made of thick glass, and has a sturdy black cap that fits tightly and has a solid "click".

The scent:
Cardamom....cardamom and spice, a dry cinnamon note in the background, but also subtly myrrh. For me, the cardamom dominates on the skin and somehow there is a great dryness.
Overall, it has nothing flattering or pleasing, rather something dominant and clear, which radiates quite a bit and is not subtly gentle. One must want this and consciously choose it for oneself. Not exactly suitable for blending in as a crowd-pleaser next to the other Sauvage wearers in the office...but that wasn't the goal either...
Somehow I have associations with a spice market half swallowed by the desert, where a sack of forgotten cardamom pods withers in the sun and the wind carries this scent just before sunset towards the campsite of a caravan.

What stands out to me secondly is a discrepancy between what I smell as the wearer and what people around me say. For those nearby, it apparently isn't as harsh and dry as it is for me, however, the cardamom note is also clearly dominant for the "outside sniffers". Additionally, I was told that there is something slightly floral to be detected as well. I absolutely do not have that impression for myself.

So: Not "nice", but good, at least for me.
And regarding the comparison with Lataffa, I would say that at least the Lataffa fragrances I know are rounder, more refined, and overall finer, but I only have this one from Armaf in my collection.
