The house of Armaf is a fragrance house that is best known for its close resemblance to the more popular, expensive fragrances. Although not all of their fragrances are modeled after a popular, expensive fragrance, many do bear a striking resemblance.

Besides the fact that many fragrances share a striking resemblance to very popular fragrances, Armaf has also created a bunch of their own, unique fragrances. They even opened a new line, called Armaf Niche.
