Armaf Craze Noir is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2018. Craze Noir opens with Bergamot, Heliotrope, and Cumin, settles into a heart of Jasmine, Lavender, Almond, and Sage, and dries down to a base of Amber, Sandalwood, and Vanilla. Armaf's Craze Noir carries a Favourite verdict, a sweet-led wear.

This one's a head-scratcher. Some reckon it's a dead ringer for Pegasus, while others smell Lacoste Noir - or nothing much at all. What everyone agrees on is that it's strong and a bit of a bargain, making it a safe blind buy for those who like a gamble.

Scent Profile

Composition

Timeline

Showing: Overall Blend

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.

Its potent projection and longevity, as often noted, make it less suitable for an office environment unless applied sparingly. However, its clean, warm profile shines on dates, evenings, and casual outings, offering a sophisticated yet inviting aura. It's a bit too dark and heavy for sports.

About

Opens with an intriguing, slightly bitter cumin alongside bright bergamot and the soft, almond-like whisper of heliotrope. The heart reveals a clean, aromatic lavender blended with a subtle, creamy almond and hints of fresh jasmine. The base is where it gets serious, grounding the scent with warm sandalwood and amber, and a comforting dash of creamy vanilla, all wrapped in a powdery embrace.
