Armaf

Armaf, the UAE house behind Club de Nuit: its famous lines, its hits and its misses, covered straight.

About Armaf

Armaf is a fragrance house from Dubai in the United Arab Emirates, launched in 2010 by Sterling Perfumes Industries, the manufacturing group founded by the Fakhruddin family in 1998 and based in Dubai Investment Park. Sterling built Armaf as its luxury line, with French inspired compositions, heavy presentation bottles and prices that sit far below the designer counter. The house is best known for Club de Nuit, the line that turned one strong fruity and smoky men’s scent into a whole family of bottles for men, women and unisex wear, and for Odyssey, its newer and sweeter line. Performance is the house signature: most Armaf bottles are built to project and to last, which is why the name keeps coming up whenever affordable, long lasting perfume is discussed.
