Inspiration / Dupe

While Armaf does not officially market Club de Nuit Imperiale as a clone, fragrance communities widely discuss that it evokes a similar vibe to Delina Exclusif by Parfums de Marly — with its rose, lychee and vanilla facets — though the interpretation can feel slightly different depending on skin and perception. This comparison is a community observation, not a brand claim.

What it smells like

Club de Nuit Imperiale opens with juicy litchi and bright bergamot warmed by a touch of nutmeg, creating a fresh yet spicy start. The heart unfolds into romantic Turkish rose and peony, softened by creamy vanilla and delicate musk. In the dry‑down, vanilla, cashmeran and incense deliver a rich, smooth and sensual finish balanced by cedarwood — resulting in a refined, elegant fragrance with both sweetness and depth. 

Community reviewers often describe it as a feminine‑leaning floral‑fruity woody blend with powdery rose and a rich vanilla base, and many note it can suit any gender who enjoys rose‑forward or modern amber‑vanilla signatures. 

Performance

• Longevity: Moderate to long — generally lasting most of the day on skin and longer on clothing.  
• Sillage: Moderate — noticeable and elegant without overpowering.  
• Projection: Bright and inviting in the opening, settling into a smooth and sensual dry‑down.  

Many fragrance fans recommend letting the bottle rest (macerate) after purchase to help the notes blend and mellow, enhancing longevity and balance. 

Best for

• Evening wear and special occasions — rich floral sweetness and warm base excel after dark.  
• Spring, autumn and mild cooler weather — floral and fruity nuances shine in moderate climates.  
• Romantic dates & social events — the floral heart and vanilla warmth create an alluring aura.  
• Fans of floral fruity gourmand fragrances — especially those who enjoy rose, lychee and vanilla blends.
