I bought this blind a couple of years ago on the basis of the notes, comparisons to Jasmin Noir L’Essence (which I love) and reviews. I have a number of Arabic scents and have discovered many to be outstanding value for money in terms of quality, longevity etc.
Sadly, Armaf’s Hunter is not one of them.
Please be guided by the mschnabel666’s comments towards the bottom of his/her review; “Turns out, very little potency/longevity/sillage with Hunter. Meh”. This is all you need to know about this perfume – the complete and entire truth.
I tried Hunter during different seasons/climatic conditions and there is ZERO longevity and sillage – not even the very low retail price justifies buying it, because the fragrance is so short-lived, you need to spray seven or eight times every hour.
Please, please save your money!

I really tried to like it – I wanted to love it. Neither happened.

My journey to this blind buy:
Bought Jasmin Noir by Bvlgari in the EDT. Weak jasmine/licorice water. A waste really.
The EDP of Jasmin Noir- better… but still lacking. Along the same lines is M by Mariah– which is affordable and POTENT.
Then I tried the L’Elixir and L’Essence of JN…. I like them both but still so weak! 🙁
So from the L’Essence page I saw it compared to this HUNTER by Armaf. I have 350 bottles of perfume, and I’ve never heard of Armaf. So, for a $22 blind buy– I did it. (Armaf can be hard to find in the US, but I got mine from maxaroma.com for $22– nice!)
From the bottle, before spraying– this is going to be just like JN.
And it is.
Delicious.
Creamy jasmine, licorice, now some powdery almond… patch and tonka.
This is amazing! Forget the Jasmin Noirs– get this!!!
My initial test was on a tissue- so I’ll wear proper tonight and report back. So far, it’s not a sillage bomb– it’s moderate and def calmed down after the initial blast. And after 5 minutes the powder comes in (almond/tonka I think).
The bottle is kinda silly. I removed the corset looking thing. The cap secures tight and can only be put on one way.
Very jasmine and incense/musky. Very middle eastern. (I’m thinking the incense is coming from the woods, licorice, and patch)
My tissue smell is kind of disappearing. Which will be a real bummer because I can’t find a smell like this that lasts! However, I’ll do my proper test later! 🙂
I also blind grabbed Tag Prestige by Armaf for Women. $19 blind buy. Haha. I can’t wait!
Oh bummer. Turns out, very little potency/longevity/sillage with Hunter. Meh. In the end, I’m like the review below me… licorice/almond/jasmine water. Crap. I don’t get rotting fruit, and it’s not cloying. Just no potency. Maybe it’s my nose/weather/chemistry tho.

After having excellent success with Armaf’s Tag Her Prestige, I was excited to order this. Worst blind buy EVER!!!!
Seriously, I sprayed this all over myself like a body spray. I get a very faint scent of almonds, NO florals, some faint sweet licorice. It is barely detectable…..but when it IS….it is nauseating. No lasting power and almost zero silage.
Smells somewhat like rotting fruit, although no fruit is listed. I cannot pinpoint what it is, but something is seriously wrong with this scent. I thought maybe I had a bad bottle….so stupid me….I ordered another one from elsewhere. Same sickening result.
EDIT: After about a half hour, it smells like an intense play-dough.
