Armaf Club De Nuit Intense Man eau De Toilette

Let's be honest about why this one's popular: Club de Nuit Intense Man is the famous budget alternative to Creed Aventus, and at a fraction of the price it gets remarkably close. Smoky lemon and blackcurrant up top, a fruity-birch heart, and a musky dry-down with serious projection in the first few hours.

It's louder and rougher-edged than the scent it's chasing — more nightclub than boardroom — but as pure value-for-money goes, very little touches it. Longevity is 7/10 on our scale.
