Mercedes Benz Club Extreme

This is a fine patchouli/vanilla based men's scent that is bound to please. The opening presents an odd citrus veneer over the heart notes that seems a bit discordant and out of place, but thankfully it passes within minutes. Honestly, I think this opening is where one could find CE a bit off-putting, but it almost doesn't resemble the lovely evolution to follow. After the strange top notes fade away, this transitions to something akin to layering MBZ Club Black (vanilla/wood) with YSL Tuxedo (patchouli/amber, but minus the rose and violet leaf). "Extreme" scales back the vanilla from Club Black and rounds it out with a healthy dose of patchouli (on the chocolatey side), some light woods and just a tease of leather. I think I'd like it better with a touch of incense, maybe some violet leaf and/or thyme to accentuate the herbaceous side of the patchouli, but I still think it's very good as it is. Like Club Black, this one doesn't push out too far and announce its presence before you enter a room - nor does it last especially long. Moderate in terms of sillage and a good 7-8 hours of longevity in my experience. Then again, I don't tend to douse myself, so your mileage may vary. :) Overall, MBZ Club Extreme isn't really extreme in any way, but it is a decent and inoffensive woodsy/vanillic fragrance that "reeks" of quality IMO. Good for a cool day or evening out, and just light enough for a Spring day. Layers well, too. This started out as a "like" for me, but has really grown on me over time. Enough so that I just "had to" stock up. Glad that I did, as I can see this becoming a dumb grab type go-to for me.

Mercedes Benz Club Extreme opens as an olfactory game of chance, where each spray is a roll of the dice. Sometimes, it greets you with the luxurious, spicy caress of PDM Layton, other times with the sweet, rebellious depth of Pure Malt. This unpredictable opening, lasting a mere 20-30 minutes, sets a thrilling stage for the experience to follow. As the scent unfolds, it reveals a bold, animalic leather note, akin to the raw intensity of Ombre Leather. This phase, lasting about an hour, might not be for the faint of heart with its daring, unapologetic presence, but it adds a distinctive character to the fragrance narrative. The final act of Mercedes Benz Club Extreme is where the magic truly happens. The fragrance transforms into a dark, metallic essence, reminiscent of an abandoned ship floating in the ocean's vastness, akin to Kenzo Homme EDP. This phase sees a fascinating interplay between the rugged leathery notes and the metallic, oceanic aura, painting a vivid picture of a world where land and sea coexist in a beautiful, ever-changing balance. Mercedes Benz Club Extreme is more than just a fragrance; it's an olfactory journey that traverses contrasting landscapes. From the unpredictable opening of Layton and Pure Malt to the bold leather heart, culminating in the intriguing dance of land and sea, it promises an adventure in every bottle.

Preliminary thoughts with first wearing: VERY nice. A much sweeter, smokier, and much more likeable Mercedes Benz Club, which I had and sold before. It's hard to gauge the strength because I've been smelling other scents all day, but I went back for 2 more applications throughout the course of the day. It starts out like a lion, but ends with a whisper... but that may just be the anosmia or scent fatigue speaking. UPDATE: It was definitely anosmia. This scent performs great on its own. The scent itself reminds me most of Elizabeth and James Nirvana Black, but more masculine, and stronger to boot. I'm sure no one will upvote that comparison, but it's true and if you smell both I think you'd agree, although I can see how some compare this to Mugler Amen, even though those two are nothing alike. This sits somewhere in the middle, if you will, since it has that amber and patchouli on one side and a bit of a sandalwood vanilla vibe on the other. Overall, I like it! It's sweet and spicy and different from the norm. It's dark and yet unique, and a definite improvement on the original Mercedes Benz Club. Only negative is, it's somewhat rare and hard to come by. I'm glad I bought a bottle when I did, because I haven't seen too many available since.

The reason why I chose this over Mugler's Pure Malt or the original A*Men is because I want that booziness and fruitiness from Pure Malt and I also want that sweetness and warmth from the original A*Men. Mercedes-Benz Club Extreme is just both of them, combined. Actually, it is smoother, fresher, and a bit more woody. I can smell a bit of the fruitiness and booziness from the Pure Malt, but the patchouli DNA from the original A*Men is also here and I can smell it clearly. Again, it is also more woody than both A*Men fragrances I mentioned. Both of those Muglers have better performance than this one overall, but this one is also performing very well on my skin. I have yet to test it more properly, but that was my first impression about it. It is great. I got it for a great price and that's what makes it more worth it than getting a very inflated price of that Pure Malt, and it is definitely more wearable than the original A*Men.

It's a lovely scent to me. I had a hard time finding it, and even though it's not his season, I couldn't wait to try it. It's a really sexy fall-winter scent and I'll be happy to wear it. It actually holds up very well in the heat! Very musky, ambery and that lotus... ohhh great! I wish I got a spare bottle but I bought the last one! The search continues! A very good addition to my collection! This is a fragrance with which you will certainly be different and attract attention. This is almost niche quality and longevity is 9-10 hours on me! 8.5/10

I really enjoy Club Extreme. It's a very easy to wear frag, enjoyable to both wearer and others. Light, soft, clean, bit soapy. Joyfull. It does smell like a upgraded A*Men. Seasons: all year long except the heat of summer. On my skin it performs good. I'm getting 5-6hrs with two sprays. Projection is ok. Others will smell it from 3-4 feet for ca.2 hours before it becomes a skin scent (you can always put a single spray on your shirt and it will project much longer). I paid 20eur for a bottle which was a steal.

Club Extreme smells very similar to Ultra Red by Paco Rabanne in terms of density, scent, quality and longevity. If you like Ultra Red or Ultra Zest by Mugler. You really cannot go wrong with Club Extreme. Particularly if you aren't paying more than the average discount price. DO NOT OVERPAY!! 🆘 I will add that this fragrance should've been an EDP concentration given its name. With that being said, don't expect extreme performance from Club Extreme. 🤣💯 Overall: 8/10

Mercedes benz Club extreme is the definition of a hidden gem fragrance. It has pretty good performance on me, around 7 hours. Best way for me to describe it is it smells very "seductive" and I picture a very mysterious guy like James bond wearing this fragrance. This fragrance would work great in a night out situation or could be used for work if your that "mysterious" guy. Club extreme is an awesome fragrance if you can get it for a decent price. 8.5/10

I’m really tired, finally I got it after long searching 😅 I like it, it smells very Good the opening is woody leathery with some sweet comes from patchouli, I’m glad to add it to my collection as new scent which I don’t have before, I gave it 8/10 coz of Great Price, Nice Look of battle and good lasting and Sillage .

I stumbled along this in a local savers store priced at £9.99 for 50ml with a 75g stick deodorant 😯😯, I pop in regularly looking for the holy grail of Mercedes Benz black. So I purchased 2 😂 love that first wood and booze blast which calms down to a mild patchouli which is quite soothing. All in all a lucky find 😊

bottle batch code: 6340 produce 2016 tester bottle longevity : on skin 6+- on clothes 24 + project moderate not safe for office or closed space , too strong may offend other pp remind Of : ysl tuxedo -top , a*men , pure malt - mid , layton - dry down Ok price paid around 33 dollars for this rare item.

I like this one, it does smell a bit like mercedes intense blended with another one, i just cant remember who, but like Endymion said this i have smelled before not to long ago, I cant figure out who it was, but anyway i like it a lot it has a spicy and balsamic feeling.

I had it back in 2015 and it was great leather amber woody , last year I get another bottle and that mysterious leather linger was gone,, some nice ambery smoke was left with good longevity ... I gave to a friend .

Every time I wear this cologne, I always get compliments. If you don't feel like getting compliments, don't wear this one, wear a spice bomb, xoxo Sky, I won't let my weight define me, only by scent.

Very underrated... almost a hidden gem. Pretty Good performance and good value. Very good surprise for me. 8/10

Clearing out. I have two full 100ml bottles for anyone who's interested. US only. PM with offer.

Very Premium smell and for the price its really great, bottle feels cheap but not a big deal.

The second most hyped Mercedes-Benz fragrance behind Club Black. I have also seen this one on numerous "top 10" lists, so I decided to take the plunge and blind buy it alongside Club Black to see for myself. Here's how it went; Scent: Opening is woody, leathery, and citrusy. The main notes I get are mandarin orange, patchouli, leather, and the woodsy notes. The strongest of the notes is the patchouli and leather, giving it a sweet, earthy, animalic vibe, followed by the woodsy notes and mandarin orange that give it a woody fruitiness. I also get a malty, boozy note in there somewhere, similar to Mugler's Pure Malt; which is strange since there aren't any boozy notes listed in the breakdown. The dry down is woody, sweet, and powdery. The main notes I get are patchouli, leather, amber, and woodsy notes. The strongest of the notes are the patchouli and amber, giving it a sweet, earthy, and powdery vanilla scent, followed by the animalic leather, then finally the sturdy woods in the background. The sandalwood does a good job of mixing with the amber to create a creamy vanilla note. I also still get that mysterious malty booziness that was present in the opening. Performance: Initial projection is strong, around 6 feet. Sillage is strong as well with an easily noticeable scent trail. After a few hours the projection was about arms length and there was still a moderately noticeable scent trail. At the 8-9 hour mark there was still about 12 inches of projection and a lightly noticeable scent trail. 13 hours later, after some napping, the projection and scent trail were unchanged. That's some impressive performance. When to wear: This is a fall/winter fragrance most suitable for night time wear, but could be done in the day time to a lesser extent. This would be too strong for the office, but could work well as an interesting scent for a date night. Blind buy: If you enjoy woody and sweet scents, or the idea of a sweeter and woodier Mugler's Pure Malt appeals to you, this is a safe blind buy for you. Final verdict: Another great entry in my collection from Mercedes-Benz. Of the two I have, I prefer Club Black; but this is a close second. It's masculine, smells wonderful, excellent performance, and best of all; is very affordable. A solid pick for a fall/winter rotation. Add this one to your collection on your next fragrance run, you won't be disappointed. Scent: 9/10 Longevity: 10/10 Sillage: 7/10

* Extremely pleasant take on a patchouli forward fragrance * Good blend of woody, floral, citrus, and fresh patchouli musk * Similar to YSL Tuxedo for a much better price * Great for outdoor activity and social use * Great for Fall and Spring use * Great fresh option without the sweetness * Good alternative to an class aromatic fougere * Good performer * Designer quality * Unisex * Good for all ages * Cool bottle * A bit redundant if you already have YSL Tuxedo or a clone of it * May not appeal to younger users who prefer sweet and fresh fragrance DNA (i.e. Invictus, 1 Million, etc.) and might not care for old school patchouli Mercedes-Benz Club Extreme is an extremely good take on a patchouli forward fragrance that gives YSL's Tuxedo and its many clones a good run for the money. It's a very modern and fresh take on an old fragrance note that, like oakmoss, many users associate with a bygone era. It's a good blend of woody, floral, citrus and very fresh patchouli musk. It's noticeably similar but also much lighter and fresher than Tuxedo. As such, it's actually great for outdoor activity and social use. It will shine in the cooler Fall and Spring. This is unisex and good for all ages. However, it may not have much appeal to younger users brought up on the Invictus and 1 Million fragrance DNAs that have the same freshness but more sweetness. Those who dislike sweet fragrances, however, should appreciate this as it it's very fresh without the sweetness but doesn't come off like an old-fashioned fougere. Performance is good, its designer quality and the bottle is unique and cool. If you already own Tuxedo or a clone of it, you might find this a bit redundant despite its fresher take. If you don't, this is a no brainer. High recommend.

This is a subdued “Mugler” style fragrance. It has IMO similarities to Pure Malt, but not as challenging with all that signature Mugler DNA. This is not a random statement, I got my bottle today and had no idea what to expect, just that it is hard to find. Upon application I instantly thought Pure Malt. Funny enough I also got Robert Graham Fortitude, which gets Mugler comparisons, and I did not get that at all? This is a pretty nice scent, I paid roughly $70.00 Canadian, and this is available currently (March 2023) at Fragrancebuy.ca. If you want a Mugler fix in the realm of Pure Malt this will get you there, and since much of the line is hard to find at a fair cost, this is a good enough option at this time. Funny thing, when I got this I was disappointed to some degree. Not because it’s bad, but because I keep wanting something new, and I am finding now my collection has hit that point where I have so many items in a similar fragrance group and style. Fortitude seems promising, but lately my aftershave splashes from Phoenix Accoutrements have been the most interesting, yet this site offers nothing about them...YET.
