Inspired by...

Scandal Pour Homme Absolu by Jean Paul Gaultier is the reference behind Checkmate King by Armaf, linking sweet fruit and chestnut over ambered woods. Mirabelle gives the Armaf opening a distinct plum-like fruitiness; by contrast, powdery and balsamic notes soften the sandalwood base. Anyone who enjoys Scandal Pour Homme Absolu will notice the same cozy roasted sweetness with a little more powder in the finish.

Best for...

This is a cold-weather scent for fall and winter, especially evenings when roasted chestnut and sweet fruit can feel cozy instead of heavy. Casual dinners, holiday gatherings, dates, house parties and weekend nights out fit best. The spiced woods give the gourmand profile a masculine lean.

›Fragrance Notes

Top: mirabelle, fruity notes
Middle: chestnut, gourmand accord, spices
Base: sandalwood, amber, powdery notes, balsamic notes

›What It Smells Like

Mirabelle and sweet fruit open ripe and soft before roasted chestnut, spice and a gourmand accord give the middle a warm nutty feel. Sandalwood, amber and balsamic notes then smooth everything into a powdery, comforting drydown.

›Performance

Checkmate King begins with a noticeable 3-5 foot gourmand presence for about 2-3 hours, then eases into a warm powdery trail. It stays noticeable for around 8-10 hours, with chestnut, amber and sandalwood holding steady in cooler weather.
