Tres Nuit
Of all the Armaf ranges, Tres Nuit is one of the names that built the brand's reputation, and Armaf Tres Nuit Eau de Toilette 100ml is the bottle that carries it. Seven materials, which makes this a short composition, and it behaves like one. Lemon and lemon verbena open it together, the lemon clean and acidic, the verbena greener and leafier with a soapy bitterness, and iris appears at the same time, which is unusual at the top of a fragrance. The iris is cool and powdery, almost like damp stone and face powder, and it sets the tone immediately. Lavender and violet make the middle. Lavender is herbal, clean and traditional, violet is soft and powdery with a sugared edge, and the two of them together are the reason this fragrance reads as polished rather than sporty.
The base is two materials and it is the best part. Ambergris is warm, mineral and slightly salty, the quality that makes a scent smell like skin rather than like perfume, and sandalwood sits with it, warm and slightly powdery. There is no long evolution here and nothing to wait for. What you smell after fifteen minutes is the fragrance, and whether that counts as elegance or as plainness is a matter of taste.
As an eau de toilette it gives four to five hours and stays reasonably close to the wearer, so it is a fragrance for the people you are speaking to rather than for the room. Daytime, work and warm weather all suit it, and it is tidy enough for an interview. It is sold for men and sits comfortably on anyone who likes a powdery citrus.
Tres Nuit is one of Armaf's longest running lines. The brand itself was started in Dubai in 2010 by Sterling Perfumes Industries, a manufacturer at work there since 1998.
