Jack Of Clubs

I like this fragrance. My bottle is very sweet, especially after macerating a few weeks. If you’re not looking for a sweet fragrance, this isn’t for you. Opening reminds me of Turkish delight. The opening is very fruity with a subtle spice and zest, which probably comes from the bergamot and ginger. The dry down reveals more floral & woody notes, but the fruitiness and sweetness remain in a strong vanilla accord. I picture a scoop of vanilla ice cream after a visit to the barbershop. Daytime or casual date night scent for me. Never smelled Bleu Électrique, so I can’t compare. The only thing this has in common with La Nuit de L’homme is the strong cardamom note at the top; compared to this LNDLH becomes a dry powder bomb after like 5 minutes. Jack of Club’s performance is WAAAAAY better, and it stays sweet with a very pleasant sillage, which I kept picking up while working in the yard just now. My buddy complimented me on it the other night too. Update: have layered it with La Nuit de L’homme EDT to good effect.

This is a very light scent, overspraying was fine even in my humid climate. Performance is just moderate as well as projection. Layering on top of a DIY Molecule 01 (ISO-E Super, or Timbersilk) improves this a good degree. But just like YSL Bleu Electrique, the ISO-Super may lead to nose blindness at times. I don’t care about the opening most of fhe time as it quickly goes away in my humid climate. I’ve had 2 babies and I don’t smell any baby wipes :). The drydown is where this shines, woody and earthy and slightly creamy, definitely pour homme. I think this is a safe, mass-appealing fragrance. It reminds me of old YSL fragrances I had in the 90’s. * Update: I only liked this at first, but it has grown on me over time and I now love it. It must have matured better after over a month. I no longer consider it a light scent, just a few sprays is enough for its YSL magic to shine through. This is a hidden gem after all. Still moderate lasting, but easy to respray, or spray on clothing.

I got my bottle for $20. To me any fragrance at this pricepoint is a safe blind buy. If you don't like it, just give it away or use it as air freshener in your car... I have never smelled Bleu Electrique, but ifit smells/smelled like this, it should've stayed around. The spicy,ginger and citrus opening lasts about 20-30 minutes and then drys down to this lovely floral, woody scent. I'd say it projects at arms length for an hour or two. You cant really overspray this one. After a couple of hours either it becomes a skin scent or I go nose blind to the projection. In my experience people claim "doesn't last" its just nose blindness. It definitely happens to me. Litterally hours after I stop smelling whatever I'm wearing, and think its gone, I will recieve a compliment, or a breeze hits me just right and I smell it again for a second. Olfactory sense is so wierd. Jack of Cubs is a win for me. Now I want to try FW King and Ace!

I bought all the Blue Electrique clones. Personally as a guy I like this one the most. Ginger/Bergamot opening which is really addicting. I really like the sourness and lemon sweetness :) Performance is middle, projection is moderately low after it settles. All occasions non-offensive pleasantly clean lemon-scented. You can overspray without a problem on your skin. 8.7/10. Wish it was a 9 but it’s not as powerful as I want it to be. Clone comparison: It’s closer to La Nuit De L’Homme, however it still holds that lavender powdery feel but it’s not overwhelming like Caprise. I don’t like Caprise it’s vomit level baby powder I forced myself to enjoy it. Never could, also way to strong and projecting. Iconic nuit is I think the perfect and most balanced clone it’s the really well polished perfume good middle ground. Good projection and longevity. I recommend that one if you had the original.

Short comparison between Caprice & Jack of Clubs: Caprice is closer to Bleu Electrique as it is fresher but does come off sweeter to my nose. At the same time, Jack of Clubs is more of a hybrid melding both La Nuit De L'homme & Bleu Electrique. My opinion for those who are trying to decide between Caprice and Jack of Clubs. Caprice has a better opening and mid, but Jack of Clubs has a much better dry-down. However, I am someone who prefers La Nuit De L'homme over Bleu Electrique. Side note: For those interested, I took the dry down of both Caprice and Jack of Clubs, then asked three people which they enjoyed more, they all chose the Jack of Clubs.

I own both this and Bleu Electrique. They are 99.9% identical. I can't tell the difference at all. And my nose is pretty fucking good at this fragrance stuff. Worth pointing out though, that the differences between basic LNDL and BE are minor overall, so I'm not surprised to see people only comparing it to LNDL. I don't even bother with my bleu electrique anymore, I wear this as it has better longevity than the YSL. I'm not getting paid to write this shit, just being honest. Anyone that trashes this either has no experience with the real one, or just hates clones. Doesn't matter to me, just putting it out there. Good stuff for the price.

Disclaimer: I have not tried Bleu Electrique but I have compared Jack of Clubs on one hand to LNDL EDP side by side and I must say, the similarities are very impressive, Jack of Clubs is definitely in that DNA and is very nice, warm, spicy, slightly powdery even, though just a bit, the opening is pretty harsh, weird and synthetic but the drydown is where this perfume shines, they really are similar, I sadly did not find a tester bottle for Bleu Electrique but I can at the very least say that the DNA is copied very well on this one

My friend has told me that this smells really similar to his YSL La Nuit De L'homme which i don't own but for some reason i keep hearing it smells closer to bleu electrique. Regarldess of that though I think it smells phenomenal and it's a really nice clone of either the OG or Bleu Eletrique. Very suitable for a date night and extremely mass appealing, i've had a good few friends of mine say that it's very enjoyable to smell. You can also pick this up for less than 45 bucks so it's a great value for money. 8.5/10.

Let it sit for a bit! Maceration is key with this one! I was very disappointed a few weeks ago with the synthetic opening and the lack of performance as well as only faintly similar to YSL...Fast forward 3 weeks after giving it a moment to chill...still has a synthetic opening but the performance and overall profile has improved significantly! I got a couple compliments tonight as well and was asked what I was wearing. Good juice at a great price! Let it Macerate!

This smells like a clean, powdery baby powder. It has a floral and sweet note that I am having trouble detecting, but the sweet note reminds me of chocolate. I do not get any woody or spicy scent profiles as depicted. I have had this for two months and it hasn't changed. I like this, but it does not smell like YSL in my opinion. I only paid $20, and it smells nice, but it is not a head turner. It's a safe go to. 7/10. I think is is unisex.

I was so lucky to find this and pick it up for a very good price. This was performing very well considering it was the first sprays from the bottle. Such a nice smell. I couldn’t help to think what the original LNDL smelled like and even Blue Electrique. I will let this one sit for 6 months and return to it and I know I will not be disappointed. On my skin this handled itself like a good designer fragrance. For now I will give this a 8/10

• Very soapy, crispy, sexy, i love the scent • Performance is about 6-7 hours • Projection, sillage sucks i havent got any compliments with 7 sprays • 80 ml (20 bucks) • Very aromatic spicy at the beginning but when left for a long time the scent becomes soft sweet and woody. • You will get a customized deck of cards inside the good looking box • 70% worth the hype

@eddykop agreed on the "this is more towards to the original, not bleu eletricque". BTW, I got a 2013 LNDL bottle (2nd formulation), and can say this is even closer to those first formulations of La Nuit. Maybe an attempt to clone early formulations of nowadays diluted or modified scents? Intentional or not, this one ended up working very well on that purpose.

I'm pleased with this one. Since the discontinuation of LNDL BE I'm eager to find a good replacement. This probably will do the job. On my skin the opening is very bergamot heavy, which I don't really like but after it settles it becomes a really nice scent, close to LNDL. Longetivity is also great. Happy with the purchase.

Alternative to BE. Nice presentation with a deck of cards inside the box behind the bottle. Simple bottle with a Jack cap. BE opens more aromatic and fresher, Jack doesn't give you the blast of cardamon you get from BE and Caprice. But it's still pretty damn similar. Lovely BE and LnDL dna.

Very well blended. I can pick up on lavender and cardamom for sure, but the others are blended in so smooth that I can't pick out those notes. Wonderful scent that doesn't choke you out and lasts. A very pleasant soothing scent.

Is it me? Or does this perfume lean way more fem? It's like spicy baby powder. I'd love to smell this on a woman. But this ain't for a man like me dog. Update: it's grown on me. I'm keeping it for the time being. Weak sauce tho

A much better take on the OG than Guess Seductive Homme Blue and last way longer. Similar powdery vibes in the drydown than F Black so stay away if you don't enjoy powdery fragrances.

Really enjoying this fragrance after leaving it a while. I wonder it will even get beter in the future. The scent is really good. I love the powdery aspect of it.

nice fragrance. really creamy, powdery and sweet. smells like detour noir in the opening. and it dtied down to a sweet baby powder. ok sillage. and ok longevity
