Armaf Club de Nuit White Imperiale Eau de Parfum is a floral gourmand women's fragrance built around a fruity litchi opening and a rich rose-vanilla heart.

What does Club de Nuit White Imperiale smell like?

The top notes combine litchi, bergamot and nutmeg for a juicy, slightly spiced start. The heart is the standout, bringing together Turkish rose, vanilla, peony and musk for a lush, creamy floral that's noticeably sweeter than most fruity florals. The base continues with vanilla, cashmeran, incense and cedar, giving a warm, musky finish with a touch of smokiness. This combination of litchi, rose and vanilla has made the fragrance a popular, more affordable alternative within its style category.

  • Top notes: Litchi, bergamot, nutmeg
  • Heart notes: Turkish rose, vanilla, peony, musk
  • Base notes: Vanilla, cashmeran, incense, cedar

Performance and when to wear it

Club de Nuit White Imperiale is typically long-lasting on skin, with strong projection in the first few hours from its rose-vanilla heart. It suits both daytime and evening wear, particularly where a noticeable, sweet floral is wanted.

Who is it for?

This is a women's fragrance for anyone who loves lush, creamy rose scents with real sweetness and presence.

Given its sweetness and presence, a couple of sprays go a long way, especially in warmer South African conditions where richer florals can build quickly.
