Scentonym Analysis
Our objective metric for performance per dollar.
The Scent Profile
Derby Club House Gold opens with a blast of coniferous fir and bright citrus. The lemon is fairly sharp, leaning slightly synthetic. It mimics the initial freshness of Fierce, achieving roughly 91% accuracy in the opening minutes. The heart presents a noticeable deviation. While rosemary is present, the lily-of-the-valley and jasmine are dialed up considerably, creating a powdery floral facet absent in the original. The drydown shifts back towards familiar territory. Musk and vetiver provide a clean, woody foundation. The oakmoss note attempts to replicate Fierce's signature ruggedness, but the synthetic edge remains noticeable. It lands close, but not identical.
Longevity & Projection
Projection is moderate for the first hour, creating a noticeable scent bubble. Longevity sits between 5-6 hours on skin. On clothing, it extends to 8 hours. The performance is adequate, if not outstanding. Respraying is advised for all day wear.
Is it Worth It?
Derby Club House Gold offers a reasonable facsimile of Fierce . The floral heart distinguishes it, making it slightly sweeter and less aggressively masculine. Those seeking a dead ringer will be disappointed. This is a solid option for casual wear.
