What Is Armaf Tres Nuit Lyric a Dupe Of?

Armaf Tres Nuit Lyric is a clone of Armani Acqua di Giò Profondo EDP, the original 2020 release. We rate the similarity at 90%. This is the red Tres Nuit bottle, with a marine, citrus-and-herb profile.

Why Tres Nuit Lyric gets compared with Profondo

The note pyramids give the pairing a clear starting point. Lyric lists watery notes, bergamot and mandarin orange up top, followed by rosemary, cypress and lavender. Musk, patchouli and amber sit underneath.

Profondo's catalog profile starts with green mandarin, bergamot and marine notes. Rosemary, lavender and cypress make up the heart, followed by patchouli and musk. The overlap is easy to spot: citrus and water at the top, aromatic herbs in the middle, and an earthy, musky base.

Armaf's description of Tres Nuit Lyric follows that same progression, from marine freshness into herbs and a warmer finish. It's a helpful explanation of why this particular Tres Nuit is compared with Profondo.

How close is it?

We rate the similarity at 90%. That makes Lyric a strong option to consider for the Profondo scent profile. It still leaves room for differences in the citrus balance, the marine effect and how the base comes through.

Wearer opinions vary, with some finding a close match and others less convinced by the drydown. We'd let a sample settle before deciding, especially if you already know which part of Profondo you like most. A similarity rating doesn't tell you how long either fragrance will last.

The panels show our catalog lists. Profondo's 2020 launch description includes more detail, such as Calone, Aquozone, lentisk and a mineral amber accord. The shorter catalog pyramid leaves those out, so the amber listed for Lyric isn't proof that the original has no amber-like facet.
