The Official Club Intense

Bottom Line

If you like H24 but can't justify the price, The Official Club Intense is a great alternative. It's a clean, versatile fragrance perfect for the office, running errands, or just casual wear. The slight synthetic edge is noticeable if you're actively searching for it, but most people won't pick it up. This clone offers fantastic value for money and is easily a safe blind buy for fans of the original. Grab it and enjoy smelling fresh without breaking the bank.

First Impressions & Dry Down

The Official Club Intense is a solid attempt at capturing the spirit of Hermès H24. You get that initial burst of herbal greenness from the clary sage – it's clean and refreshing, though a touch more synthetic than the natural airiness of the original. The metallic accord is there, that almost ironed-linen vibe. It's not quite as refined, leaning slightly sharper in this clone. The drydown introduces a smooth, slightly powdery blend of narcissus and rosewood. It’s a pleasing base, similar to H24, but lacks the depth and evolution of the Hermès. I'd say it's roughly 83% similar overall.

How Long Does it Last?

Longevity is decent. I get about 5-6 hours on my skin with moderate projection for the first hour, settling closer to the skin after that. It's not a beast, but perfectly acceptable for an everyday scent. It won't fill a room, but it will create a pleasant bubble.
