Is Colonia C.L.U.B. different from the original Colonia Club in the dark green bottle?+−
Yes. While they share similar names, Colonia C.L.U.B. (2022) is a reimagined scent in a clear bottle. It is generally considered brighter and more contemporary, moving away from some of the heavier, more polarizing aspects of the original 2015 formulation.
How does this perform compared to other Acqua di Parma colognes?+−
Many users find that C.L.U.B. offers better-than-average longevity for the brand. While the citrus notes of the original Colonia may fade quickly, the inclusion of shiso, rosemary, and cedarwood in this version helps the scent linger longer on the skin.
Is this a masculine or feminine fragrance?+−
While it is marketed as a unisex fragrance for men and women, the combination of black pepper, rosemary, and cedarwood gives it a profile that leans toward the traditionally masculine side of the fresh-green category.
What is the best setting to wear this fragrance?+−
Due to its "professional and reserved" character, it is an exceptional choice for the workplace. However, the bright bergamot and lemon also make it a favorite for casual daytime activities and outdoor summer events.
