What Is Armaf Club de Nuit Impériale a Dupe Of?

What is Club de Nuit Impériale a dupe of?

Armaf Club de Nuit Impériale is a clone of Parfums de Marly Delina Exclusif. The connection is the fruity rose, vanilla and musky warmth. If that's what you enjoy about Delina Exclusif, Impériale is worth adding to your comparison list.

You may also see it called White Imperiale or White Imperial. We're talking about the white-bottle Eau de Parfum here, paired with Delina Exclusif. The original Delina and Delina La Rosée are different fragrances.

How do their notes line up?

Impériale's catalog pyramid opens with litchi, bergamot and nutmeg. Turkish rose, vanilla, musk and peony follow, with vanilla, incense, cashmeran and cedar listed at the base.

Delina Exclusif's expanded catalog profile starts with litchi, pear, bergamot, pink pepper and grapefruit. Turkish rose, oud and incense sit in the middle, followed by vanilla, amber, woody notes, musk, vetiver and Evernyl.

There is a clear overlap in the fruit, rose, vanilla, musk and incense. Impériale also names peony, nutmeg, cashmeran and cedar, while the original's displayed list includes pear, oud and other supporting notes. Those differences give you more to consider than the rose connection alone.

Published pyramids vary in detail, so we'd use these panels as a guide to the catalog profiles rather than a recipe for either fragrance. The balance of fruit, rose, sweetness and incense is what matters when you compare them on skin.

Which one belongs on your shortlist?

We'd consider Impériale if we wanted to explore this style at its current retailer price. If you're buying it to replace a favorite bottle of Delina Exclusif, give both time to settle and pay attention to the rose and incense. Familiar notes don't automatically mean you'll enjoy the two equally.
