Scentonym Analysis
Our objective metric for performance per dollar.
The Scent Profile
Armaf's Hunter for Women is clearly chasing Bvlgari's Jasmin Noir. Does it succeed? Mostly. The opening blast of gardenia and green notes comes across a bit sharper, more synthetic than the original. The heart of jasmine sambac and almond is where it shines. It's a creamy, slightly sweet floral that gets you pretty close - I'd say 80% accurate to the luxurious feel of Jasmin Noir. The drydown shifts to licorice, tonka bean, and woods. It's pleasant, but lacks the depth and refinement of Bvlgari. The woods are a little thin here, giving it a slightly cheaper feel overall.
Projection Power
The performance is acceptable, especially considering the price. On my skin, I get about 4-5 hours of noticeable projection. It sits closer to the skin after that, becoming a soft, comforting scent for another 2-3 hours. Don't expect all day wear.
The Verdict
Hunter for Women is a solid option if you enjoy Jasmin Noir but can't justify the cost. It captures the essence of the original, though with some synthetic edges. If you’re happy with 80% of the scent at 80% of the cost, this is a good choice.
