Colonia Club, from Acqua di Parma was released in 2015. The perfumer behind this creation is unknown. It has the top notes of Bergamot, Lemon, Mandarin Orange, Mint, Neroli, and Petitgrain, middle notes of Galbanum, Geranium, and Lavender, and base notes of Ambergris, Musk, and Vetiver.
This one crept up on me, as I had no idea Colonia Club was out. Tried it the other day and I have to say I'm extremely impressed by the smell of this stuff. AdP will never be one of my favorite brands but they do make solid, classy fragrances which open very well and I enjoy hugely. They seem to be afforded leeway that I wouldn't give to other houses for making mediocrity a trademark. Anyway...Colonia Club has a wonderfully fresh opening of citruses as you'd expect but with a hint of herbaceous green qualities, lavender, mint and a touch of white florals. There's a lightweight musk, and in the heart a geranium note under long lasting citrus, all of which conspires to create that classic aromatic fougere type fragrance, making this hard not to like. The vetiver really comes out in the dry down and that's about it. Club delivers what I expect from Aqua di Parma topping it off with average performance I'd say all in all another good product from the house. I think I prefer this to the black one...colonia essenza?? is it??? Fan's of AdP will definitely like this one it's very hard not to and I really like the green bottle.
