I like this as a personal perfume I wear for my own enjoyment. Initial heavy wave of cedar and sharp cloves. The cedar is wetter than Onyx Black and isolated. As it drys down I notice a more subtle sharp lemon / bergamot possibly cinnamon. Amber comes in waves. It’s not really complex pretty flat but strong enough to give you confidence it’s still working. For me great value if you want dark wintery accord. Couldn’t locate the Tobacco I found it to sour for this.

Not for everybody! I am 90kg, muscular, 39 years old. It’s a mature man tobacco parfum for cooler days with great sillage and longevity 8+ hours on me with 3 sprays. Not for 20kg children with 10cm arms! Smokey, not sweet, dark incence frag. I agree: The One in steroids but not simmilar at all to DG The One! A bit reminds me the old TSAR. I love it! Great job Armaf!

Got it today for $10,This is classic very elegant mature type smell,on the opening I detect tobacco, oakmoss, and amber the dry down gets very musky on my skin I sprayed on my hand and it lasted decent 5 hours, projection i don’t know yet. Will update after few more wearing.

This scent for me evokes definitive mixed feelings. It has the right blend of tobacco, amber and musk so as not to tip the scent as overtly sweet or overtly tobacco heavy. It has the right mix, however the longevity with me was shambolic, 2 to 3 hours and gone. Projection half hour max, 2015 batch.

I just did a dab sampling but the notes seem right. I don’t get incense, but that perception may be the spices and cedar mostly. I didn’t get anything “synthetic” and it’s not sweet (rather dry, overall), but I’m not sure how dynamic it is. I’ll have to wear it in the regular way to judge that. Over time the amber comes out, but it doesn’t become one of those typical syrupy/sweet scents called amber this or that. For a low price and if this is what you want, I can’t imagine disappointment, unless perhaps you’re expecting a Tom Ford type scent with similar notes. I’ll update this review after I give it a regular wearing, but what I can say is that there is at least a touch of vintage Yatagan here, perhaps closest to Les Copains Homme (not listed yet, circa 1990). Those who are disappointed by this should explain why, because the notes and most reviews make it clear what kind of fragrance this is. No, this is not Pure Havane for less!
UPDATE: Another dab sampling and now I think it may be closer to vintage Quorum except without the lavender note.

Strong fragrance
sv666 – :
Decent fragrance, especially considering it’s price. I find the opening a bit too coarse for me – probably a result of the lemon top note – once that settles down it is a lot more enjoyable. 7.5/10

This scent is absolutely great for winters . Smells great when mixes with chilly gust of air outdoors . Its incensy and warm . This was the stuff i was looking for to wear in december january winters of india . I bought armaf craze along with it too. Thats awesome as well. Happy with the purchases for winters .
Muchenik – :
For the price, it is a really great fragrance.
A heavy tinge of synthetic tobacco, amber and Musk. Opening mix of these with Citrus really smells strong and over-powering. And not in a nice way. Dry-down is comparatively better.
Lasts morning to evening. No complains there. Though, not a hit among ladies – have been told so couple of times.
Summary – You’ll struggle to find a fragrance that delivers this decent quality and complexity, this enormous longetivity – at this low price. Do take a test before buying.

I bought it, for I was hoping this to be similar to Epic Man, as one of the reviewers described it. Now that I have it, I would say – Ascot’s closeness to Epic Man is about 20-25%.
Nevertheless, Ascot still was a fantastic find. 10/10. Would recommend to anyone, who is looking for a uber masculine, Gentlemen’s club worthy scent. It’s D&G The One on steroids.

Masculine powerful middle middle eastern scent. Yes absolutely an incense heavy smell with tobacco amber and musk. Heavy sillage and overwhelming projection. At this price the quality is top notch. The dry down is more suited for the summers. This can compete with any expensive amouage scent. I love it. A very different oriental sortish scent definitely more of an edp. Absolutely recommended. Armaf stable has some real surprises.

I was in Bergdoffs recently and went on a sniffing spree. I headed str8 towards the Amouages. After smelling everything available I was struck by Epic Man. Epic man is one of Amouages more formal fragrances that I fell in love with after applying it to my skin. A lot of Niche fragrances share a similar vibe but i find that Epic man stood out to me. Its an incense rich bomb that smells just beautiful.
I just kept feeling as though Ive smelled it before. Then it hit me…It smells a little bit like Ascot.
Ascot is very heavy on tobacco and thick dark Amber. It’s everything I love…Its boldly masculine, dark, resinous, with lots of depth and density. It lasts for 9 hours on my skin with very strong sillage. What i truly love is its complexity. This is no high school kiddie frag. This scent is for a boss. To me the blending in this is very well done. It is a Eau De toilette but upon spraying you would swear it was an EDP. It has a depth that most EDTs don’t have.
A knock on it is it can be a ‘hard to wear’ scent as its not the most versatile. It’s strictly a cold weather scent ( u could get away with it during the spring nights too) that doesn’t fit a lot of occasions. This is definitely not a skeleton key fragrance. IMO versatility doesn’t hurt fragrances just adds to them. So if a scent is versatile, that adds to its rating but I’d not take points from a fragrance because it’s not. If it smells great, gets compliments and performs, even if its not versatile, it can still be a perfect scent to me (for example Terre De hermes Eau Tres Fraiche). I’d not say this is a perfect scent but its definitively a scent that will “WOW” some people.
Simply Put… For the price you pay and the quality of this scent, it’s a steal.
8/10- If u are a fan of Middle Eastern perfumery and want a scent which isn’t heavy on OUD or just loves incense based fragrances this is a must try.

Immediate upon first spray it reminded me something i already have in my collection. I started sniffing all of my treasure’s gem one by one and stopped at Kiehl’s original musk. Though it smells a bit bitter than KOM which is rather smoother, differs in the middle with some fresh notes and does well in longevity. Neverthless too strong for me.

Hi I have just started using this perfume.I like it very masculine.Would appreciate more reviews to understand if my opinion is similar or different.Thanks gyuys.

When I first sprayed this, I could not help but think of Fendi Uomo. But the longer and more I wore this potent long lasting scent, the more I found it going in its own direction. Spicy, woody, and amber are the main elements in this frag. It does not smell like anything else contemporary that I can think of. Very VERY masculine with a modern edge and vintage heart. If you like Fendi, Bel Ami, Derby, you might find yourself liking this as well.
