ARMAF Derby Club House Eau De Toilette, 100ml

Product Information

I bought this scent with Club de Nuit Intense because I consistently saw the praise these 2 received. Club de Nuit took forever for me to like, the scent changed over time and it's still very synthetic and kind of hard for me to wear with confident. Anyway, Armaf Derby Club House Blanche is missing the magic of Silver Mountain Water. The most volatile top notes are similar. It doesn't have the inky note, which is something I love. Derby Club House Blanche also leans more masculine. I really like the unisex quality of SMW, so if I were looking for a SMW replacement (I'm not) I would miss that in this fragrance. It is different though, which is nice on it's own. As it starts to dry down (around the 30 minute mark) this stuff gets better smelling. I still find it the least similar of the SMW alternatives I have smelled. Derby Club House Blanche is a sparkling,refreshing and calming fragrance with a bit loud,challenging and sharp opening notes of fruity aquatic citrus followed by peaceful green tea.Than as it lingers on the skin,it slowly moves to a bit woody,creamy,bitter and musky scent with a nice touch of green galbanum and with a soft and fruity citrusy notes lurking at the edges.It has some similarities to Silver Mountain Water by Creed,Silver by Al Rehab,Al Wisam Day by Rasasi,Magia by Bois 1920 and Mefisto by Xerjoff."Quality/ Cost Ratio" is high. When i first smelled this opening omy, just a ton of metallic 'stuff' i don't even know how to describe what that opening is but it isn't nice imo. Ajmal Silver Shade (tied with Al-Wisam Day. Silver Shade has a much more metallic smell with citrus)

There will also be "high-energy group games" including shuffleboards available at the new sports bar (Image: Derby Brewing) Nothing changes between the two fragrances when it comes to potency. This is some REALLY strong stuff, and the botanicals here can be even more overbearing than in Silver Mountain Water. If you overspray this, it's going to be like instant frostbite, and your sense of smell is going to straight crash into the trees. One commenter said "it made everywhere else seem tame," while another claimed it was the "best club in Derby."

We've saved you a seat

A fresh bottle of Silver Mountain Water has a very distinct complexity and depth to it, with this fruity and floral accord that swirls and mixes in and out of perception like the stirring of the clouds. Derby Club House smells nothing like Bois du Portugal in my opinion; zero, nodda, nil, zilch. BdP is my favorite Fall gentleman's fragrance and I keep a 250ml flacon in my scent armory - so I know Bois du Porgual. Anyway, I have had this fragrance on my skin for the past hour and I am not enjoying the experience. While it is not a terrible scent, this one is is a swing-and-a-miss (Strikeout!) IMO.

After a week of wear, I've decided that DCB is lighter, simpler, and easier to wear than Al Wisam Day, but also less interesting, and not nearly as charismatic. Where the Rasasi scent utilizes an interesting interplay between herbal, citrus, floral, and sandalwood tones, Armaf's settles for a quartet ensemble of thin citrus, dry tea, sweet (and vague) berry, and an aqueous musk in the far drydown. The whole thing is overbearingly fresh and high-pitched, so longevity and projection are difficult to gauge, but I definitely get at least four hours out of it (based on compliments received), and I suspect it carries a bit, as those compliments were proffered from several feet away. This reminded me of Silver Mountain Water for a few seconds after spraying it, but then that similarity started to fade to my nose. This is stout. Three sprays and you taste it. Two is too many. This is one of those rare one spray overkills! I notice it is too strong when sprayed on my shirt.SEASONS: Winter, spring, fall, colder days, daytime, nighttime, and climate-controlled environments. I'm going to place this fragrance on the table in the lunch room and see if some poor bastards takes it home. I Wouldn't be surprised if he returned it the following day. LOL!
