Club 75

Jacques Bogart Club 75 opens with a moderate projection of very sweet resinous, orange and cinnamon accords. The orange has a touch of lemon, a pleasant and aromatic citrus accord. The cinnamon adds a sweet spicy note that blends well with the citrus notes. In just a moment, the lavender adds a soft floral touch, not as prominent as the orange or cinnamon; the apple is also a touch but noticeable. The resins in this fragrance come up as soon as the fragrance is applied, while it adds a prominent sweet, ambery, vanilla-like accord that projects very well. As the fragrance commences to dry-down, the cedar and musk come up but are faint distant touches; the sandalwood adds a sweet touch to the already sweet resins. The fragrance is relatively linear, the only noticeable opening to dry-down change is the brief visit of the lemon during the opening. Once Jacques Bogart Club 75 has reached its dry-down, it can be summarized as a very syrupy resinous sweet orange and cinnamon fragrance with soft floral and woody accords. The fragrance feels candy-sweet (orange), delicious, energizing, fruity, gentle, intense, inviting, masculine but not for much, modern, playful, resinous, rare, rich, relaxing, special, syrupy, sweet, versatile, slightly woody, and very pleasant.

EDIT: lol.. This is a Paco Black XS type of scent, it's that classic cinnamon caramel apple praline dry down, hints of pear is in there. Also similar to Rasasi Yazan (spicier) and Armaf Italiano Nero Uomo (sweeter/rounder). I don't know why I didn't pick up on this when I first reviewed it. Good strength if you can find it cheap. Not as beast as Silver Scent intense or Ruby One Man Show. Overall it's a lighter fragrance and could be used definitely in summer where as the others can't really. This is still fairly heavy though, I'd say it's a good 6-8 hours from 3 sprays.. It's pretty good for 2 hours and then it turns into a very pleasant sandalwood accord in the dry down, it's damn sexy. This is Bogarts attempt at a real mass appealing scent and I think they knocked it out of the park. It's not unique except for the resins accord which is the most interesting part in this scent, there is a fleeting bit of silver scent DNA, but only barely. It's completely new for Bogart for the most part. To me, this is super likable like The One by D&G but way better, Club 75 is way better than anything that you find at the department store and longer lasting. This should be titled Bogart Juice and Woods... no oud, no saffron, and nothing like 1 Million.. at all. I repeat.. nothing like 1 Million at all.

Club 75 (16H14) - This is a winner! It starts out pretty sweet and fruity but after about 30-45min it begins to lean into the vein of Piguet's Bois Noir and the similarities get a bit more noticeable with the resins further into the dry-down. Not a clone type feel in any way, but I would say a slightly fruity/sweeter/fresher Bois Noir type "vibe". I feel this can be worn all year except on the hottest days and I highly recommend giving Club 75 a sniff. Performance off my skin is on par with other Bogart fragrances

I smelled at a department store a couple of weeks ago and it was awesome!!! I remember it was a bit similar to 'Silver Scent' but more mellow. I will try it again and update accordingly. Smelled it again (applied it on my arm), opens with citrus and than settles to Silver Scent's drydown but more mellow. 5 hours after it's closer to the skin and much sweeter. I don't know if it's the raisin but it's very nice. So, in summery my rating is: Projection: 7.5/10 Longevity: 7/10 Scent: 9 Loving it!!! :-)

Strange that I see no mention of how very similar this is to Boss #6 in any of the comments. Heck, it even has a similar green apple note to it! I would say longevity and sillage are pretty similar as well. Club 75 is slightly smoother in the sandalwood/vanilla aura creaminess, but Boss #6 (Boss Bottled) has better fruit and floral depth/complexity to the scent and drydown. So excited about this blind buy, as well as surprised. Yet another "hit" for me in the Jacques Bogart family!
