Armaf Checkmate King is a take on the Jean-Paul Gaultier Scandal formula, an instantly recognizable formula and an aroma guaranteed to attract attention. This is an excellent hybrid fragrance, combining elements of the gourmand, spicy and woody fragrance families. You'll find a complex blend of sweet, fruity, spicy, woody and powdery aromas blasting out of a very neat presentation that resembles a giant chess piece.

Quality is niche level right off the bat, a strong performer that lasts and projects. This is great for men of all ages and will work wonders during social occasions and date nights. I would avoid for more serious occasions and environments. This is quite sweet so consider yourself warned if that's not your cup of tea. This is great for cooler seasons but be wary of using it in high heat. It's also quite masculine so female users should consider before trying. For men though, this is highly recommended.
