How Derby Club House Smells: Notes & Development

Derby Club House opens with Bergamot, Lavender and Blackcurrant — the first impression as it hits the skin. Once that burns off, usually inside the first half hour, the heart turns to Pineapple, Spices and Cedar. What lingers on skin and clothing hours later is the base: Patchouli, Ambergris and Musk.

Strip it back to the bones and the profile reads Aromatic, Fruity, Woody, Fresh Spicy, Musky — easy to place and easy to wear.
