Rugir

Woody and floral in equal measure, Rugir is a 2024 masculine fragrance from Armaf, with spice, sweetness and citrus playing strong supporting roles and a touch of amber in the base.

Bergamot and mandarin give the opening a juicy, bright freshness, while pink pepper and cardamom bring a cool, slightly peppery spice, and lavender an aromatic, herbal lift. The heart is surprisingly floral for a men's scent, with jasmine and violet giving a smooth, slightly powdery sweetness. The base turns warm and woody: guaiac wood with its smoky, slightly sweet character, creamy sandalwood and a touch of vanilla for a rounded, cosy finish.

With its mix of fresh fruit, spice and sweet woods, it is versatile enough for the office and casual days, while the warmer base suits evenings and cooler months. It should appeal to men who like modern sweet, spicy woods with a floral twist and an easy, likeable character.
