El Cielo Pour Homme by Armaf

Fresh, but it comes across as quite strong in the heat. Smells good with a decent trail and longevity. It’s woody, spicy and herbal with fruity notes. I like it, although it’s neither unique nor sweet; there are many options with this DNA. If the price is right, it’s worth trying.

Delicious and pleasant aroma. Although it doesn’t stand out in any way, it’s very good, ideal for smelling good in almost any occasion without being identified for using a trendy or iconic scent. Special for hot days, it doesn’t let you down. Lasts 5 to 6 hours on skin if we don’t sweat much, but if we go to the gym or do sport, the longevity drops considerably. On clothes, it lasts for more than 24 hours.

I bought it out of curiosity to replace one with poor longevity that I used after showering, but… what a surprise! I found myself with a scent I like, and a lot. It’s definitely synthetic, but excellent for hot days (and where I live there’s a lot of heat). In summary, I bought it for showering, but I’ll have to buy another one for that; this will stay for other situations.

Quite a clean fragrance, excellent for everyday, reminds me a lot of the smell of talc and lasts quite well. Mainly I recommend it for hot days and informal outings, as it looks excellent if what you want is to feel fresh and smell good. As for longevity, it’s quite good in my case, lasting between 6 and 7 hours; while projection is good for the first hour before leaving a small trail.

I love this fragrance and it smells like cotton fabrics with a rich fabric softener; if you can imagine that, it smells like that and has a resemblance to Legend Spirit or at least goes in that same direction.

Sweet, creamy, fruity and fresh, perfect for everyday wear. Beware of going out, as it can come across as overpowering. Good projection and longevity. I liked it.

I really like it. Pleasant smell and a good blend. Practical for its price and leaves you wanting more. The trail is poor; it doesn’t stand out. Good for passive daily wear and routines, suitable for exercise or going out. I won’t pay more than $25. It’s youthful; I’d gift it to a teenager or child. I use it a lot because it’s simple, nothing dramatic or all-encompassing.

Just bought it. The opening is very alcoholic, then it recalls Invictus Aqua and Montblanc Legend Spirit but more powdery… fresh melon with a powdery note. They say it smells like a soft cloud because of the name, and I think it’s a good analogy: a cloud of powdery melon floating over a marine backdrop.

I have a bottle from 25 September 2020 and today I thought: let’s get another for the stash. Seeing the price jump to nearly double $37, I decided to buy it. Yes, it’s synthetic but has good fixative and projection; it lasts me 6 to 7 hours and projects for about 2 hours.

I picked it up based on the reviews. Starting with the packaging: beautiful and quality box, the bottle is nice though it has quite a bit of plastic, but it’s acceptable. My first impression is that it’s far from what they claim; it seems like another toned-down version of Invictus DNA or Jimmy Choo Men Intense. I can’t identify any notes, just an unremarkable synthetic melon; even Zara Man Spirit from the same line is better because this one smells like nothing, lacking any identity. I’ll update after wearing it more, but for now, it’s a disappointment.

This perfume has good presentation; although it’s somewhat synthetic, it has a fresh opening and a dry down that recalls Invictus until the end. It lasts 7 to 8 hours in moderate temperatures of 25 to 30 degrees. It’s ideal for spring and summer.

Sweet, but opening the bottle at 8:16 am with temperatures at 28 degrees gave me a bit of a headache from the synthetic alcohol. After a few minutes it smells nice, yet it projects almost nothing. I applied it at 7:30 and can barely detect it on my skin. I’m not sure if it’s genuine.

It’s like blending Invictus, Abercrombie First Instinct and Invictus Aqua in a blender to get Armaf El Cielo. It smells lovely and is cheap, except for the lid which is terrible.

Ideal for hot days and nights, it has a hint of mint even if it doesn’t say so. Not for formal events, but for everyday wear, the gym, the beach, work or the pool.

A great summer option if you’re looking for something different. It’s warm and citrusy with good projection; after two hours it fades almost to the skin, but in the heat it intensifies without being overpowering. They say it lasts four or five hours, but in my case, I could barely smell it after eight. Suitable for informal events, perfect with a polo and shorts. No age limit – it suits a twenty-year-old or a forty-year-old equally well. I bought it online for under €20, you can’t ask for more.
