The review
On paper, Excellus Man is a reasonable bet if you want CH Men for less.
Armaf sells it on the name alone — no note list of its own — so the brief is CH Men's pyramid, and the closeness votes below are the real test.
At $45 per 100ml it costs 40% less than CH Men — the cheapest of 4 twins we can price.
Some wearers dispute how close it gets — the match is the seller's claim, so read the votes before you buy.
Reviewed on paper: from the notes and strength Armaf publishes, the price per 100ml, and how firmly the match is claimed. How it really smells on skin is what the votes below are for.
What it's built to smell like
The original opens on bergamot, grapefruit and nutmeg, turns to leather, jasmine and cedar, and settles into leather, sandalwood and sugar. That is the brief Excellus Man is working from.
Top
- bergamot
- grapefruit
- nutmeg
Heart
- leather
- jasmine
- cedar
Base
- leather
- sandalwood
- sugar
Saffron and nutmeg over sweet leather, refined and pleasingly old-world.
Some fans dispute how close this one gets — it is listed against the original by its seller.
