Quick Takeaways
- Armaf perfumes occupy one narrow price band at Kiano: the ten authentic bottles run from AED 90 to AED 140 for a full-size bottle.
- Club de Nuit is the family the brand is known for, and its three bottles here are not interchangeable: Intense Man is the smoky evening one, Sillage the bright daytime one, Milestone the marine one.
- All three Club de Nuit bottles cost the same AED 140, so the choice is about what you want to smell like, never about budget.
- Seven of the ten authentic bottles are tagged on our own listings for spring and summer, and only three for autumn and winter.
- Ten further bottles share our Armaf page and are not Armaf: they are Kiano Our Creation inspired-by scents at AED 79, labelled as such on every page.
Armaf perfumes tend to arrive in a collection at a particular moment: the point where you have learned what you like, worked out what it costs, and started wondering whether the gap between those two numbers is necessary. In a catalogue whose cheapest perfume is AED 55 and whose dearest is AED 1,949, our ten authentic Armaf bottles all sit between AED 90 and AED 140.
Choosing is the harder part, because the brand’s most famous family alone has three members here and they smell nothing like each other. This guide ranks all ten authentic bottles, explains what Club de Nuit is known for and how to pick between its versions, then says plainly which bottles on our Armaf page are not Armaf.

The two halves of the Armaf range
Almost everything Armaf makes on our shelf falls into one of two groups: the Club de Nuit bottles that most people arrive asking for, and the wider range that quietly does the daily work. The tabs below split them so you can see which half you are actually shopping.
Three bottles carry the Club de Nuit name here, and all three cost AED 140. That flat price is the most useful fact in this guide: it takes money out of the decision and leaves only character.
- Club de Nuit Intense Man, eau de toilette for men, 105ml, fruity turning smoky, tagged for evenings in autumn and winter.
- Club de Nuit Sillage, unisex eau de parfum in the fresh family, tagged for daytime and office wear.
- Club de Nuit Milestone, unisex eau de parfum, 105ml, the only marine scent of the three.
The other seven bottles are where the range stops repeating itself.
- Niche Oud, AED 140, unisex, the only oriental here and the only bottle with oud in all three tiers.
- Venetian, AED 100, unisex, a floral for evenings and special occasions.
- Odyssey Mega, from AED 90, the only Armaf here sold in two sizes.
- Le Parfait and Hunter Intense, both AED 140, everyday eau de parfums for men.
- Tres Nuit and Tag Him, both AED 100, the two eau de toilettes tagged for office wear.
Seven of the ten are tagged on our own product pages for spring and summer and for casual, office, everyday or daytime wear: Club de Nuit Sillage, Club de Nuit Milestone, Odyssey Mega, Tres Nuit, Tag Him, Hunter Intense and Le Parfait. If your first Armaf will live in a desk drawer or a car door, it comes from this group.
Only three bottles are tagged for evening wear and for autumn and winter, and they are the three that change a room: Club de Nuit Intense Man, Niche Oud and Venetian. They are also the three least alike: fruity turning smoky, resinous and formal, and warm sweet amber.
Who Armaf is for, and who it is not
Start with the number, because the number is the argument. Every authentic bottle in our Armaf collection costs between AED 90 and AED 140, and that buys a full 100ml or 105ml bottle rather than a travel size. This is the price point where owning three or four fragrances stops being an indulgence and becomes a wardrobe: one for the office, one for the weekend, one for evenings, and no anxiety about spraying them properly.
Armaf suits you if you want presence without ceremony. It suits the person who wants a bottle they can leave in a hot car and replace without grief, the student building a first collection, and the gift buyer looking for something considered under AED 150.
It does not suit everyone. If what you want from perfume is rarity, or the certainty that nobody at the table is wearing the same thing, this is the wrong shelf. And if you want a designer original, buy the designer original: an Armaf is its own product with its own name on the box, a distinction our guide to perfume dupes in the UAE takes apart properly.
The Club de Nuit family and how to choose between the three
Club de Nuit is the name that made people look at this brand twice, and what the family is known for is reach: bottles that announce themselves at a distance rather than sitting quietly on skin. All three are flagged long-lasting on their product pages and trade in generous sillage rather than restraint.
The useful surprise is how different the three are. Intense Man is the one people mean when they say Club de Nuit: an eau de toilette in the fruity family, opening on pineapple, apple, blackcurrant and lemon, turning through birch and patchouli, settling into ambergris, musk, oakmoss and vanilla. It is tagged for casual and evening wear in autumn and winter, and it is the loudest bottle here.
Sillage takes the family the other way: a unisex eau de parfum built on bergamot, blackcurrant and lemon over iris, jasmine and rose, with ambergris, cedarwood and musk underneath, tagged for daytime and office wear. Milestone is the third road, a unisex eau de parfum with sea notes and red fruits over jasmine, sandalwood and violet, resolving into amber, musk and vetiver, and the only marine scent in our Armaf line-up.
The rule is simple. Cool evenings and you want the famous one, buy Intense Man. Daylight and something you might share with a partner, buy Sillage. Water and air rather than smoke and fruit, buy Milestone. If those tiers of notes mean little yet, our fragrance notes explained guide covers how a pyramid is read.
The ten authentic Armaf bottles, ranked
Every bottle below is an authentic Armaf product. The ranking is editorial: it reflects how often our team finds each one to be the right answer for a UAE wardrobe, not laboratory testing and not customer scores, because we do not publish scores we do not have.
Armaf Club de Nuit Intense Man Eau de Toilette
Armaf · Eau de Toilette · Men
The bottle that carries the brand. Pineapple, apple, blackcurrant and lemon at the top, birch and patchouli through the middle, then ambergris, musk, oakmoss and vanilla, tagged for casual and evening wear in autumn and winter.
Armaf Club de Nuit Sillage Eau de Parfum
Armaf · Eau de Parfum · Unisex
The daylight Club de Nuit and the most shareable bottle here. Bergamot, blackcurrant and lemon open it, iris, jasmine and rose hold the middle, ambergris, cedarwood and musk close it.
Armaf Odyssey Mega Eau de Parfum
Armaf · Eau de Parfum · Men
The value entry, and the only Armaf we stock in two sizes: 100ml and 200ml, from AED 90. Ginger and orange over bergamot, geranium and lavender in the heart, amber, cedarwood and musk beneath, tagged for casual daytime wear.
Armaf Niche Oud Eau de Parfum
Armaf · Eau de Parfum · Unisex
The only oriental in our Armaf line-up, and the only bottle here with oud in the top, the heart and the base. Saffron and citrus open it, rose and amber warm the middle, tagged for evening and formal wear in the cooler months.
Armaf Club de Nuit Milestone Eau de Parfum
Armaf · Eau de Parfum · Unisex
The marine member of the family and the least like the others. Sea notes and red fruits over bergamot, then jasmine, sandalwood and violet, then amber, musk and vetiver.
Armaf Tres Nuit Eau de Toilette
Armaf · Eau de Toilette · Men
The quiet gentleman of the range and the best-behaved bottle here for a meeting room. Iris, lemon and verbena open it, jasmine, lavender and violet carry the middle, amber, musk and sandalwood finish it.
Armaf Venetian Eau de Parfum
Armaf · Eau de Parfum · Unisex
The warmest bottle in the range and the best value evening scent Armaf makes here. Bergamot, citrus and peach open it, amber, jasmine and rose build the heart, amber, musk and vanilla settle underneath. Unisex, and genuinely so: it leans sweet and round.
Armaf Le Parfait Eau de Parfum
Armaf · Eau de Parfum · Men
A fruity eau de parfum built for daily wear rather than drama. Bergamot, lemon and pineapple at the opening, jasmine, rose and spices in the middle, then amber, musk and patchouli. It shares the opening that made the brand’s name, at a lower volume.
Armaf Hunter Intense Eau de Parfum
Armaf · Eau de Parfum · Men
The spiced one. Bergamot, lemon and spices open it, amber, lavender and more spice hold the heart, amber, cedarwood and musk finish. The closest thing here to a rugged, slightly barbershop character.
Armaf Tag Him Eau de Toilette
Armaf · Eau de Toilette · Men
The uncomplicated daily driver, and the cheapest eau de toilette in our Armaf range. Bergamot, lemon and pepper open it, cardamom, geranium and lavender fill the middle, amber, cedarwood and musk close it.
Beyond Club de Nuit: oud, amber and the workhorses
It is easy to treat Armaf as one famous family with filler around it, and that reading costs you the two most interesting bottles. Niche Oud is the only oriental here and the only Armaf that puts oud in the top, the heart and the base at once, wrapped in saffron, rose and amber. Our guide to the best oud perfumes in the UAE covers the material properly, but AED 140 is a modest sum to find out whether you want more of it.
Venetian is the other outlier, and at AED 100 it is quietly the value pick for evenings: peach and citrus over a rose and amber heart, then amber, musk and vanilla in the drydown.
Then there are the workhorses, which deserve more respect than they get. Tres Nuit and Tag Him at AED 100 are the two eau de toilettes tagged for office wear, one green and gentlemanly, the other peppery and woody. Hunter Intense and Le Parfait at AED 140 cover spiced and fruity everyday territory, and Odyssey Mega, from AED 90 and also offered in 200ml. None will be the bottle you talk about, and between them they will account for most of your sprays.
Sizes and prices: what AED 90 to AED 140 buys
The pricing is unusually tidy, which makes planning easy. Six of the ten sit at AED 140: Club de Nuit Intense Man, Milestone, Sillage, Hunter Intense, Le Parfait and Niche Oud. Three sit at AED 100: Tag Him, Tres Nuit and Venetian. Odyssey Mega starts at AED 90 and is the only bottle offered in two sizes, 100ml and 200ml.
Two carry 105ml rather than the usual 100ml: Club de Nuit Intense Man and Club de Nuit Milestone. At AED 140 for 105ml you are paying around AED 1.33 per millilitre; at AED 90 for a 100ml Odyssey Mega it is AED 0.90.
One practical note. Because these bottles are affordable, people treat them casually, leaving them in a car through a Gulf summer. Heat undoes an AED 140 fragrance as thoroughly as an AED 1,400 one, so our guide to storing perfume in Dubai heat is worth ten minutes, and our long-lasting perfumes guide covers performance across the catalogue.
The Kiano inspired-by alternatives, clearly labelled
Here is the part of our Armaf page that needs saying out loud. The page holds twenty bottles and only ten are Armaf. The other ten are Kiano Our Creation scents: our own inspired-by interpretations of those same Armaf fragrances, sold at AED 79 in 100ml and titled Our Creation Inspired By on every product page. They are not Armaf products, and we never describe them as Armaf.
What makes Armaf an unusual case is arithmetic: Club de Nuit Sillage is AED 140 and our inspired-by version is AED 79, a gap of only AED 61. When the saving is that small our honest advice is to buy the authentic Armaf bottle, and why perfume prices vary explains why that gap is so much wider elsewhere.
Building a small Armaf wardrobe
Because nothing here costs more than AED 140, you can plan a whole wardrobe in one order, and three bottles covers a UAE life. The office bottle comes from the daylight seven: Tres Nuit at AED 100 for the gentlest option, Tag Him if you prefer pepper and cedar, or Club de Nuit Sillage at AED 140 for more presence. The weekend bottle wants volume without formality, which is Odyssey Mega from AEOdyssey Mega, from AED 90 and also offered in 200ml is worth the full AED 140: Club de Nuit Intense Man, or Niche Oud when the occasion is formal.
Three bottles chosen that way comes to between AED 330 and AED 420. If you would rather work out your own character first, our guide to choosing a signature scent is the better starting point, and a flanker like Sillage is the kind of bottle it teaches you to place.

Frequently asked questions
Which Armaf perfume should I buy first?
If you want the bottle that made the brand’s name, buy Club de Nuit Intense Man at AED 140, a 105ml eau de toilette tagged for evening wear. For daylight and shared offices, Club de Nuit Sillage is the better first purchase, and if budget decides it, Odyssey Mega starts at AED 90.
What is the difference between Club de Nuit Intense Man, Sillage and Milestone?
They share a name and a price of AED 140 and very little else. Intense Man is a men’s fruity eau de toilette tagged for evenings in autumn and winter. Sillage is a unisex fresh eau de parfum tagged for daytime and office wear. Milestone is unisex too, built on sea notes and red fruits, and the only marine scent of the three.
How much do Armaf perfumes cost at Kiano?
The ten authentic bottles in our Armaf collection range from AED 90 to AED 140: six at AED 140, three at AED 100, and Odyssey Mega from AED 90 in 100ml or 200ml. These are full-size bottles, not miniatures.
Are Armaf perfumes suitable for the UAE summer?
Most of the range is built for exactly that. Seven of the ten authentic bottles are tagged on our listings for spring and summer, including Club de Nuit Sillage, Milestone, Odyssey Mega, Tres Nuit and Tag Him. The three tagged for autumn and winter are Intense Man, Niche Oud and Venetian.
Which Armaf fragrances are unisex?
Four of the ten: Club de Nuit Sillage, Club de Nuit Milestone, Venetian and Niche Oud. The other six, including Intense Man, Tres Nuit, Tag Him and Odyssey Mega, are listed for men. Gender labels describe how a scent was pitched, not who can wear it.
Are the AED 79 Armaf bottles on your site real Armaf?
No, and we would rather be direct. Anything at AED 79 with a title beginning Our Creation Inspired By is a Kiano fragrance, made under our own name as an interpretation of an Armaf scent. The authentic Armaf bottles start at AED 90. Because the gap is often only AED 61, we frequently recommend the authentic bottle.
The honest verdict
Armaf earns its following by removing the tension between wanting to smell like something and being careful with money. A range topping out at AED 140 for a full bottle lets you own an evening scent, a daylight scent and something to spray without thinking. The sensible way through the Club de Nuit family is to ignore the shared name: the smoky one for evenings, the fresh one for the office, the marine one for hot afternoons.
One thing bears repeating. Our Armaf page carries twenty bottles and only ten are Armaf; the rest are our own inspired-by scents at AED 79, and every one of them says so. With most brands that AED 79 line saves you hundreds. With Armaf it saves AED 61, which is precisely why we keep pointing you back to the authentic bottle. When the real thing is this reasonable, the honest recommendation and the obvious one are the same, and the Armaf range at Kiano is the place to test that.
