A tropical-fruity leather oud that channels Oud Maracujá at Armaf prices.

By Vivir ·
Armaf has expanded its Club de Nuit line with Club de Nuit Intenso Fuego, a 2026 unisex EDP that blends tropical fruit, leather, and oud. The fragrance arrives with a strong online rating and a clear inspiration: Maison Francis Kurkdjian Oud Maracujá. According to its Fragrantica detail page, Club de Nuit Intenso Fuego opens with passionfruit, citruses, mango, black pepper, and saffron. Its heart moves through flowers, rose, and spicy notes before settling into a base of leather, oud, amber, vanilla, and woody notes. The composition is listed as unisex and is housed under Armaf, a UAE-based brand known for affordable interpretations of luxury scent profiles. At the time of writing, the perfumer is not publicly disclosed by Armaf. Performance figures are not officially listed, but the Club de Nuit Intenso line has a reputation for strong projection and longevity. User reviews on Fragrantica frequently compare the scent to Oud Maracujá, and the page holds an overall rating of 4.64. With a reported price range of $25 to $45 for 100ml, Fuego is positioned as a high-value option for fans of fruity leather oud fragrances.

Scent Journey

1
Opening 0-30 min

The first spray is expected to be a burst of passionfruit, mango, and citrus. Black pepper and saffron add a spicy shimmer. This is the most tropical and energetic phase. The fruit notes are likely to feel juicy and slightly tart, while the spices keep them from becoming syrupy.

2
Heart 1-2 hrs

As the top notes fade, the heart emerges. Flowers, rose, and spicy notes take over. The fragrance becomes more rounded and less sharply fruity. The floral elements may soften the transition into the base, while the spices maintain a warm, slightly dry character.

3
Drydown 4+ hrs

The base dominates after several hours. Leather, oud, amber, vanilla, and woody notes create a warm, dark, and sweet finish. The animalic and oud accords become more noticeable. The vanilla and amber keep the leather and oud from feeling too harsh, adding a creamy sweetness.
