Armaf Club de Nuit Maleka Eau de Parfum
A 2025 floral fruity women's fragrance from Armaf, composed by Olivier Cresp, pairing lychee and bergamot with iris, praline and sandalwood.
Armaf Club de Nuit Maleka Eau de Parfum is a 2025 floral fruity fragrance for women composed by perfumer Olivier Cresp.
What does Club de Nuit Maleka smell like?
The top notes bring together lychee, bergamot and pink pepper for a bright, juicy and lightly spiced opening. The heart is centred on orris, better known as iris, giving a refined, powdery character that bridges the fruity top to the sweeter base. The base settles into praline, sandalwood and ambroxan, creating a creamy, warm finish with a touch of indulgence. It's a polished, fruity-floral composition designed to feel elegant rather than loud.
- Top notes: Lychee, bergamot, pink pepper
- Heart notes: Orris (iris)
- Base notes: Praline, sandalwood, ambroxan
Performance and when to wear it
Club de Nuit Maleka is typically moderate to long-lasting on skin, with the ambroxan and sandalwood base giving decent staying power. It suits both daytime and evening wear thanks to its balance of freshness and warmth.
Who is it for?
This is a women's fragrance for anyone who enjoys fruity florals with a powdery iris heart rather than a heavier sweet gourmand.
As a newer, more refined addition to the line, Maleka suits South African buyers looking for something with a recognised perfumer behind it.
The involvement of a known perfumer is part of what sets Maleka apart from some of the more generic recent additions to the Club de Nuit range.
