Colonia C.L.U.B.

I tried this fragrance in Bluemercury today, completely unbiased as I didn't even know it was a new release until after I smelled it. My initial thought is that it was designed to be a more mass-appealing scent than some of the others I tested while I was there. I agree that this is ADP's entry into the "blue" fragrance world. And if someone smelling this is not crazily into fragrances, I can imagine this would be a nice, casual, summer scent that is versatile and will draw compliments without creating a harsh scent cloud. I think this particular fragrance gets a lot of hate for differentiating from the original Colonia Club 2015. However, by itself, I still think it is a pleasant fragrance that I will be adding to my collection when it hits discounters (which, having seen its response from the public, it will). Also, keep in mind this is an EDC, so the projection and longevity aren't going to be as prominent as another blue, such as Eros (which is quite strong). But I find the freshness of this fragrance to be nice, and still noticeable without being overbearing. This would be a great fragrance for teenagers who want to smell good from March through early September. Not exactly the most unique, but it's not inoffensive whatsoever. This is something that you can blind buy if you want to smell similar to other popular blues. Just wait until it comes to FragranceX or FragranceNet!!

I like this. I wasn’t even aware of this release until I went to buy some stuff from the barbiere range. I wasn’t going to try given the previous club (which I owned) was too minty and while cooling had an almost burning sensation. But I did. This one morphs from a real freshy to start with the bergamot and reminds me of a toned down of the limited edition la spugnatura and then settles into a lovely light woody skin scent after about 3 hours. The longevity on this is great. It’s very pleasant and I’m very much looking forward to wearing this on a hot day or warm evening for dinner on a terrace. ADP is a great house, and there are classics like Essenza that I keep coming back to. On this one, and unlike the pura that was nice but not so interesting, or the futura that was just too herbacious, they got the balance here really spot on. The shiso makes this really Interesting. The pepper just right, and the dry down of woods and light musk being comforting but also leaves me feeling confident. I just ran out of essenza and was going to refill, but this one made me go for a detour. I’ll let you know how I get on, but a few days in I’m enjoying it very much.

Absolutely Love this. Absolute classic fresh musky masculine cologne. Quality and longevity far exceed the price. If you’re a a guy in your 30’s pr older you will be hit with nostalgia! Younger people you can call it vintage and love it aswell. First botes you get are citrus and aromatic. Then it dries down into a lovely fresh subtle musk. The pink pepper, citrus and musk base note are the most prominent notes. I wanted something subtle, classic with that Italian sartorial feel and it’s exactly that. The added bonus is my girlfriend cannot leave me alone when i wear it! It is definitely subtle until you get close to the skin where it sits for a good 12 hours. One thing that might put spme people off is that the opening notes only last around 2-4 hours so if you want a strong far projecting fragrance this won’t be for you. Perfect for if you work in close proximity to other people like me and need something a little more subtle though! Peace and love people 🫶

Bought this one in the boutique in Roma, after wearing a tester all day. Worked perfectly in the warmer weather, and was always pleasantly surprised, with the aromatic notes bringing me away from the busy inner city of Roma, very relaxing. This fragrance will come off a bit harsh for some moments after being applied, but once it's settled, it's very pleasant. When the base notes of musk and cedar kick in, you feel a depth to it, which is unique in its own way. Perfect for warmer weather, the aromatic notes are easy on the nose once settled, and it becomes very elegant and easy to pull off.

Fresh citrus aromatic. Sharp citruses, peppers, and green herbal rosemary burst from my skin but in a very smoothed out and airy fashion, all over a light woody base. No bias on my part, I know nothing of the original Club (or many other AdP fragrances for that matter), but I find this quite pleasant and extremely well-balanced. The citrus and spices and greens and woods all play an equal role, everything is seamlessly blended together, and it sits smack dab in the middle of sweet and bitter. Performance is surprisingly decent for me with moderate projection for ~2hr, longevity 12hr+.
