I tested Club de Nuit Milestone by Armaf today for the first time since last summer and honestly I think it’s a really solid fresh fragrance for the price. It opens up bright and a little fruity with a clean ocean-type vibe, then settles into a smooth musky and slightly woody dry down. It just smells clean, easy, and pleasant without trying too hard. What I like most is how versatile it is. You can wear this to work, out running errands, or just on a warm day and it fits perfectly. It doesn’t smell super complex or niche, but it definitely smells more expensive than what you pay for it. Performance is pretty good too. I usually get most of the day out of it, and it projects nicely for the first few hours without being overpowering. Scent: 8/10 Fresh, slightly salty-sweet, and very easy to like. Sillage: 7.5/10 Noticeable but not too strong—just a clean trail around you. Longevity: 8.5/10 Lasts most of the day on my skin and even longer on clothes. For the money, this is a great everyday fresh fragrance and an easy grab, especially in warmer weather. Definitely worth trying if you like clean marine-style scents.

Saw someone in a video say to try Hawas Ice and Rayhaan Aquatica as a layering combo. My goodness…it’s sweet, fruity, and long lasting. The Hawas Ice is the star of the show for about an hour until it settles and mixes so well with Aquatica. At that point, the coconut takes charge and together this smells like a sweet summer day at the beach. If you have both, give it a sample. It’s worth a shot!
