What wearers say
“Not very sweet of a fragrance. Opening is fresh and sharp. Then it wilts to a funky vanilla-tobacco type of smell, reminiscent of Lattaffa Liam's state, right before Liam dries down to vanilla. It's okay, the drydown/finish smells too close to Liam to justify the purchase. Don't get me wrong - opening is different and unique compared to Liam but 70% of the time you will smell like worse version of Liam's dry-down.”
“As a scorpio I adore this. Its a masculine scent with pepper in the opening and boozy notes in the middle and base along with vanilla. It is not a sweet vanilla as in SWY or Lataffa Khamrah. A dark masculine scent that perfectly potrays the Scorpio sign.I have never smelled MMM Jazz Club but this is great. Fantastic presentation, booklet, price (I paid 32€), I haven't tested the projection and longevity yet but il update soon.Don't blind buy it if you can't handle a bit of pepper.”
“Really nice. The opening is a bit too sweet for my taste but the drydown is really good. A bit different to jazz club, sweeter and more youthful in my opinion.”
