It is such a strange scent. I don’t like it on my skin but then I got a whiff of the projection and I was so impressed by it. What you smell on your skin and the scent in the air is totally different. Such a mysterious scent.
I literally just blind bought this and received it a week ago. I tested it and loved the smell. Plus it’s strong! I sprayed some on my arm, took a shower and I could still smell it on my skin. A steal for $50. Can’t wait till cooler weather.
Just got it. First impressions from my gf and I are very positive. The opener gives a burnt caramel/creme brulee vibe. Reminds me a bit of Ariana Grande Cloud. My other main vanilla frag is Tom Ford Tobacco Vanille, which while I really enjoy it, and gf dislikes it. So this is a nice variant.
This is the scent I have always been looking for. I absolutely love vanilla but I struggled to find a masculine vanilla that isn't overly spicy. This is a rich, dark, creamy vanilla that is still unmistakably masculine. I wear this year-round in any occasion and I've gotten more compliments with this scent than any others that I've tried.
Your reviews are pretty good! Even though Nishane Ani is quite different I have to agree it also came to my mind while testing Mercedes Club Black. Similar vibes and airiness and lightness. I'd say Club Black is darker brother of Ani. Where Ani has citruses, Club Black replaces those with smoky incense. Definitely great buy for around 50-60USD.
Niche quality cheapie, amazing. It reminded me ALOT of Guerlain Spiritueuse Double Vanille, that boozy smoky vanilla scent is to die for. It is a MASSIVE compliment magnet aswell.
Whoop! Saw a 20ml travel bottle for AUD$9.90 & had a quick look at Fragrantica to see a slew of positive reviews, so I thought yeah why not for under $10? Going through UA-cam for some confirmation bias now, looks like I've got a great hand carry item on my shelf now. :)
Totally agree with you about that Mercedes unlike your opinion on Lalique White!😝 Subjectivity is the master word of this industry isn't it?!?😉 Nice video as always mate!
Glad I watched.I was thinking about looking into Herod but I have this on the way, and for them being compared I don’t need both! Thanks for the great vid!
I really enjoy your videos very critical but easy to understand I have went with many of your suggestions and been very satisfied I'm assuming we must have similar tastes keep up the good work. I will be getting this one because I have never heard you suggest a blind buy.
Awesome review ( as usual!)- I tried this years ago...like it very much then forgot about it. I have Rochas Moustache EDP- If I get Mercedes Club Black would it be redundant? are they similar or vastly different?
The price is a bit worrying because it’s quite cheap so I’m worried if it’s gonna be too synthetic? What are your thoughts? I hope I don’t have a headache because before watching your video I bought 3 bottles because it’s just cheap 😂 But so far according to other reviews they love it even the opposite gender.
You should be able to find it somewhere for $50-$60ish. Don't pay $80 or $90 for it, just keep checking until it's cheaper, it might take months. The price always goes up when supply dries up. Then suddenly it's more available again and the price goes back down to $50-$60. This cycle has been going on for years with this fragrance, it's why people always say it's been discontinued. Well if it's been discontinued, they've got a lot of stock saved up.
It's about $40-is price wise so it isn't too bad for a sweet fragrance. I might picked this but I already have man in black and spice bomb. Really getting tired of sweet vanilla fragrances.
@@markman1409 I have too many sweet spicy fragrances with vanilla/amber notes. Man in Black, Spicebomb, Moustache EDP, Le Male, Ultra Male, LNDL, The One EDT, Code Absolu.
@@itsatrap4986 No its not ... Its not something you have to have but when one of your bottle get low try it.. I was surprised at the quality for 30 bucks
Bro 2021 batch are worth buy. Their new batches are good in performance and projection. Please let me know should I buy 2021 batch merced benz club black
It's very over hyped fragrance I believe it smells very similar to Zara's Rich Warm Addictive which both I don't like I think Joop Homme Le Perfum and Joop Homme EDP is way better fragrance and alot cheeper then club black.
Sound like you should go with fresh fragrances for now. This Club Black is a little dark for daily use and has very good, quality smell. And dont go with all the hypes, check the notes and read some detail reviews (bad and good reviews) before you blind buy. I have this one but rarely use since I am enjoying more complex and expensive one (sublime vanille from Creed).
@@andrewd8253 sublime vanilleis trash I'm sorry... If it was made by joop you wouldn't be wearing it.. Its just the name creed that fools people I have it and club black... Club black out performs it and I get more compliments .. I paid £250 for my sublime vanille worst waste it money ever
@@UrbanDwellerNYC Good answer haha! I am not a SMW fan as well but I would prefer his clone Rasasi Al Wisam Day which to me has a better smell, performs better and for a fraction of the price!!
@@joeslacker1020 Even if you don't like Pure Malt, you can like this because it doesn't have that nauseating quality at all. It is much smoother, and avoids any strange fruit-whisky-patchouli combination and instead is more focused on a smoky vanilla.

Club Black is my absolute favorite fragrance. To me this matches a black suit better than anything else.
This reminds me of YSL Tuxedo mixed with Armani Code Absolu. Wow! What a beautiful fragrance this is. I just opened mine today. So wonderful.

What is the patch date? Of yours
a bit late but where did u buy it from for 50 bucks
@@nightmare5698 it was 50 bucks back then
I'm waiting for mine, I copped it for $45
This is my favorite cologne I’ve ever smelled especially in terms of price value it’s incredible!!!
How long have you been in the game?
OMG I am so glad you compared it to Herod, bcs I've always thought that this was the case! They are so similiar!

Is Ariana Grande Cloud worth it? It‘s quite cheap too but it might smell too synthetic something like that.

I love this cologne. It's not that cheap though I think I paid like 80 dollars for it
This is good one🍈🍦🔥...Niche quality for sure!
really great scent!
Great Review!
Bought it and friggin love it.
I found my type of fragrance at the fragrance outlet just testing stuff handed to me I'm 14 and I love thid
This is one I am hoping to get soon.
bought just now blindly. it smells good.
Totally agree. The best! cheap but smells expensive gourmand fragrance
Thanks for review, prob will blind buy after this review. It's like AU$30 in Aus
That's a steal.
Just got a bottle on special for $39.99 at Chemist Warehouse, where do you get it for $30? Sells out so quick.
Love this one as well. Can't wait for the weather to get colder!
Bomb release I found summer 2020
I love this!
Don't like the way the bottle looks but LOVE the smell
Awesome review ( as usual!)- I tried this years ago...like it very much then forgot about it. I have Rochas Moustache EDP- If I get Mercedes Club Black would it be redundant? are they similar or vastly different?
Quite different, both fantastic in their own right. Keen to get my own bottle of Moustache, waiting for a good deal to come my way.
If tou could only choose oneto keep, which would you keep, this or Nishane Ani?
Thanks

For the price it’s incredible value. The smell is amazing and performance also.
@@ezeke99m how about Ariana Grandes Cloud? They say it smells like Baccarat Rouge 540 and its very cheap too
@@lonewolf5969 I’ve never bought that but i have heard that it’s a clone of that.
Vanillas based fragrances are so played out man. That's why scent profiles like SMW and GIT are up there as top fragrances of all time.
Lol I would never recommend blind buying 3 bottles of a fragrance, that's nuts.
i have... Really good projek super
Please recommend me the outstanding, orange flavour perfume if any.
Is it really good
I appreciate the in depth review. At what price point(s) is this fragrance worth picking up?
I think $60-80

Is this EDT?
$25 USD in Australia
The community value objective reviews.
Positive or Negative.
How many sprays do you reckon for this during the summer?
I’d say 2-3
It's about $40-is price wise so it isn't too bad for a sweet fragrance. I might picked this but I already have man in black and spice bomb. Really getting tired of sweet vanilla fragrances.
Does not smell like mib or spice bomb... Is good wait it comes on ebay for like 32 bucks
