The review
Marjan Silver scores 6.9 out of 10 on paper — strong contender territory for anyone chasing Bleu de Chanel.
Armaf lists 1 of the 9 notes in Bleu de Chanel's pyramid — grapefruit. What it does not list: lemon, mint, ginger and nutmeg; and it adds bergamot and pink pepper of its own.
Strength: parfum, among the most concentrated formats a dupe comes in.
At $20 per 100ml it costs 89% less than Bleu de Chanel — the cheapest of 19 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
Chanel Bleu de Chanel is grapefruit, lemon and mint at first, ginger, nutmeg and jasmine at its heart and incense, sandalwood and cedar at the end. Armaf set out to put that same arc in a cheaper bottle.
Top
- grapefruit
- lemon
- mint
Heart

Base
- incense

- cedar
For the man of every occasion. Citrus and pink pepper dry down to incense, sandalwood and cedar — the safe bet that still impresses.
Some fans dispute how close this one gets — it is listed against the original by its seller.
