Club de Nuit Man

Ginger Gem... Banger clone of 1 Million Paco Rabanne with good approximation & performance, this was love at first scent for me. Opens with a burst of minty-citrus, ginger and soft-spice that intensifies and sweetens to include a near-cherry and bubblegum note, and dries down to a gingerbread-like amber-woody finish that's still present on clothes the next day. Overall I get a ginger-spicy scent that moves through stages of mojito to candied-ginger to gingerbread, with a hit of bubblegum in the amber-woody background. For me this is unisex, but it does lean masculine-sweet. Versatile and has enough freshness in the opening that this could be worn year-round IMO, but some will find the ginger-spice to read 'holidays'. Reviewed after spraying x 3 and storing 6 -9 months. Overall: Affordable, versatile and easy to wear, unisex leaning masculine, with above average sillage and longevity after spraying and storing 6-9 months, before that I couldn't notice much of a middle or drydown. It's a love for me. Enjoy! Update: 05/25/24: My son took this from me, he thinks it has some similarities to Valentino Uomo Born in Roma Intense (which I haven't smelt), although the notes are quite different. I still find it to be a versatile ginger scent with some freshness yet with a richness that could be worn year round. Whatever it may or may not smell like, it smells really good.

Hi friends, I'm rereviewing this: I've worn this a bunch of times now. It's a love! It's addictive and reminiscent of some popular others, but in a unique way - confusing. It garners compliments - great compliments! the initial spray is strong orangy-cinnamony-sweet leather which reminds you of 1 million. This is not a 1 million clone, however, as cardamomy cloves + wood keeps poking its head out and transitions this into something that I would picture as the day version to YSL La Nuit - less pepper, less mystique. In the dry down I get 0 million, and quite a bit of La Nuit - my skin. Depending on how the oil is moving in the bottle, it can come out similar to an Yves Rocher Hoggar woodiness so make sure not to let sit for too long. It's great for dates, weekend fun, and evenings out. Summer days would be cloying with this on. Any other time of year is fine. Projects well for the first few hours, silliage is beastly until I change my shirt, and transition between layers is quite fun to experience, as I am seeing with all Armafs. Don't judge from the bottle smell - this one needs a 4-6 hour trial. I blind bought and I am very pleased. It's more mature than 1 milion. The only thing that would have given this more life and excitement is blood orange and a bit stronger leather + patchoulli. All in all, though, this is a great one if you like cinnamon and spices.

To those who compare this scent to Tag-Him Prestige or 1 Million, I would have to disagree. This smells somewhere between Yves Saint Laurent L'Homme Ultime and Viktor & Rolf Spicebomb. The notes make it LOOK like it should smell like 1 Million, but in all actuality, that's not the case. This scent smells very natural, and it's easy to pick out the notes. You can wear this one to the office comfortably, without worry of being cloying. In fact, I recommend it with this one. Again, it's more similar to YSL L'Homme Ultime than it is to 1 Million. If you're looking for a true 1 Million clone, this is not it, but this cologne deserves its own credit in my opinion. The natural smell of this scent is what makes it a winner. If you're considering buying YSL L'Homme Ultime or Victor & Rolf Spicebomb but don't want to spend $65+, this is the ultimate alternative! I believe this is closer to Spicebomb than it's closest well-known clone, Bvlgari Man In Black, and this is much cheaper too!

I love this very much, in many ways I prefer this to 1Million. Unfortunately, the bottle is an absolute disgrace. The atomiser doesn't work well (and doesn't really atomise). The bottle contantly leaks and the top of the bottle turns into a sticky and dirty mess (even when cleaned after use). Seriously, this is the worst bottle i've ever experienced, and it could be studied for flow dynamics to understand how it douses the bottle in it's contents just from sitting on a shelf. Performance is pretty great for me (with a minimal application to skin and clothes), with good projection and longevity. This has also gotten a lot of compliments from people. This is very easy to overapply though, and boy it's obnoxious when there's too much. It can easily gas an entire room if overapplied, and can be quite cloying in hot weather (although pleasant when minimally applied).

Blind buy at Marshalls fr for $25 . Worth the price. Been wearing for 3 days now. Nice winter warm perfume with opening of orange and cinnamon. Middle notes are powdery spicy with pepper,orris and clove. Dry down after one hour I can smell the wood and leather. It has a rich dark feel to it on drydown (not as dark as the Gourmand alcohol frags!) and I tend to reach out for this perfume whenever I am wearing black. Sillage is good but not overbearing. Longevity of base notes is 4 hours after which it becomes a woody powdery only skin scent. Many people say it's sweet but I cannot smell any sweet notes except for the orange peel opening. There is a bit of YSL Y and some TF Noir Extreme blend going on in here. Good date night or movie night perfume. I won't wear this in summer however. Good value for money!
