Armaf Club de Nuit Maleka (released in 2025) is a luminous, regal, and sophisticated addition to the Club de Nuit collection. Designed by master perfumer Olivier Cresp, it marks a shift toward a more high-end, "niche" floral-fruity profile. It is celebrated for its airy, "clean girl" aesthetic and its unique use of iris and lychee.

Description

Club de Nuit Maleka opens with a sparkling and exceptionally juicy burst of Lychee and Raspberry. Unlike the heavier, smoky openings of other CDN fragrances, Maleka is bright, effervescent, and slightly tart, balanced by the zesty freshness of Bergamot and a subtle hint of Pink Pepper.

The heart of the fragrance is centered entirely on Orris (Iris). This provides a sophisticated, powdery, and "purple" floral texture that feels refined and poetic. It moves the scent away from being a simple fruity perfume into something more regal and polished—fitting for its name, "Maleka," which means "Queen" in Arabic.

The dry-down is smooth and addictive. A creamy, nutty sweetness from Praline and Sandalwood creates a comforting, velvet-like finish. The use of Ambroxan ensures the fragrance remains radiant and modern, leaving a clean, skin-like warmth that lingers beautifully.

Armaf CDN Maleka is often compared to the DNA of Very Good Girl or a lighter, more iris-forward version of Delina. It is an excellent choice for those who want an elegant, "clean" fragrance that feels expensive and airy rather than dense or sugary.
