Armaf Club De Nuit Maleka is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2025, created by Olivier Cresp. Club De Nuit Maleka opens with Bergamot, Pink Pepper, and Litchi, settles into a heart of Iris, and dries down to a base of Sandalwood, Ambroxan, and Praline. Armaf's Club De Nuit Maleka carries a Favourite verdict, a floral-led wear.

Seriously divisive, Maleka is either 'chef's kiss' royalty or a 'cheap candle on hyper drive'. Some say it's unique, others insist it's a dupe. Don't blind buy unless you like a gamble; scent profiles and longevity reports are all over the shop. You'll either adore its powdery iris or intensely dislike its screechy sweetness.

Top, heart and base are the brand's own listing, not a timing claim - the industry classifies a note by its character as much as by how fast it fades. Each curve here is modelled from that material's own volatility, so groups can overlap when a house lists long-lasting materials in its heart.

Versatile across every season - no clear seasonal preference from wearers.

Best Occasions

Best For:
Date Casual
Also Works:
Office Formal

While some find Maleka 'office-friendly' and subtle, others report powerful projection and an 'overpowering' quality making it less suitable for formal work settings. The generally sweet, fruity, and powdery profile skews it towards casual and date wear, with its 'fluffy' and 'romantic' notes perfect for intimate moments.

About

Opens with an energetic burst of juicy litchi and tart bergamot, sharpened by a playful hint of pink pepper. This vibrant fruitiness quickly mellows into a velvety, sophisticated heart where powdery orris takes centre stage, lending an elegant, almost violet-like touch. The experience deepens as it settles into a warm, creamy base of sweet praline, smooth sandalwood, and a soft whisper of ambroxan, creating a comforting yet alluring trail.
