Noooooice
Da hat Kai wieder echt einen super Duft raus gebracht! Leute die hier wieder rein Trollen haben halt einfach keinen Geschmack. Der Preis ist auch noch in einem angenehmen Rahmen für diese Top Qualität die geliefert wird. Der Flakon ist optisch auch sehr gelungen und schmückt voller Stolz meine Vitrine.

Beach Bar instead of Beach Club / When the Notes Lie…
I was fortunate enough to test this fragrance personally at the Snud Concept Store in Vienna during a meet and greet with Kai in early December 2024.

A quick note about the meet and greet: Kai was really friendly and took the time for everyone, which I appreciated very much. I talked with him about Beach Klub, Cherry X, and Oud 31, and he took all feedback seriously, providing background information on his fragrances.

Well, now to Beach Klub.

The fragrance is very unique, and personally, I have never smelled anything similar to Beach Klub. In my opinion, the scent opens with very soft leather, a slight spiciness, and - here it comes - the smell of an overripe banana. So much so that not only I had this association, but several other visitors in the perfumery did as well. I am still quite surprised that no banana is listed. Unfortunately, it is exactly this overripe banana that is the "note" which makes this fragrance so unique, but also difficult to wear.

Over time, the scent develops into a woody-creamy direction - still in the background the spiciness, the leather, and the banana - thus the drydown is much more appealing to me than the opening.

Caution! Although I am talking about banana here, it does not make the fragrance fruity. The note makes Beach Klub more of a kind of sunscreen scent; I associate the perfume with a dark yellow, if that helps you.

Apple was not present for me throughout the entire experience. Neither was animalic. Besides leather, vanilla, and maybe oregano, I couldn't pick out any individual fragrance notes. Beach Klub is much more "a whole" for me and not like, for example, Infusion Velours Eau de Parfum, where I can almost recognize all the fragrance notes.

The scent is really strong and left an oily film on my wrist, similar to Reflection 45. Like other perfumes with a high oil content, the fragrance does not project much but lasts long, around 10-12 hours.

Despite the summery name, "Beach Klub" is not something that reminds me of hot summer nights. For me, the best time would be from September to April. It is not a Mykonos beach club champagne-flowing scent, but a fragrance that gives me vibes of a hidden beach bar on a small island somewhere in the Pacific at night.

I hope I was able to bring the perfume a little closer to you and that you enjoyed the review.

P.S.: Many thanks to @Snud for the great event and of course to Kai for taking the time to come to Vienna.

Difficult...but good...
I didn't warm up to the first two fragrances from KPP, even though the little waters come across as quite valuable. Oud 31 is simply too powerful for me; similar to a pork knuckle with dumplings and sauerkraut or George Antheil's Ballet Mécanique. The Cherry X initially passed me by, as it seemed like every brand - in the last 2 years - launched a cherry scent, and my interest in this stone fruit decreased in proportion to the frequency of releases. When I finally tested “it” and said to the best wife of all: “Cherry”… she replied: “At least it’s not ‘air freshener’, like the last cherry scent you tried.” So… at least you get what is written on the bottle.

Now Beach Klub. This name also immediately evokes associations; and anyone expecting a Cocoloco dream with a straw in a bucket will be surprised and rub their nose, looking again at the label… but… there it is: “Beach Klub”. But names are just sound and smoke, and besides, we don’t know which “beach” (Carmen Geiss language) the namesake has ended up at. What matters is… what’s in the bottle!
I got a sample through some detours and am very grateful for it. Is it the best scent from this brand so far? I can't say that objectively due to the aforementioned limitations. However, it is the scent I like the most so far. Why? Quite simply: It is unique! Oud and cherry scents are - as mentioned - plentiful. But this scent, I initially couldn’t categorize. Subjectively, I think of strolling through a lushly filled weekly market. Various smells waft into my nose from everywhere; sometimes it’s spices, sometimes it smells slightly fruity, sometimes slightly burnt, and sometimes I perceive “meat.” BK is difficult to describe, and that’s what makes its charm. And aren’t we nerds always in search of something new? The norm tasters who show up once a year at Douglas to avoid wrapping gifts for Christmas (since otherwise it’s socks or ties again) or looking for a scent for their gym bag won’t get anything from BK… and that’s truly not blameworthy. It is niche! Niche should be allowed to be different…
Longevity for me is about 12 hours; sillage is a bit more discreet… good.
Excursus on the person Kai Porten:
I only had brief contact with him in the souk; he behaved impeccably there. Otherwise, I only know what we see online. And that is not enough for me (at least) to judge the person. I also separate - in other areas of life - the work from the artist… please do the same...

Beach Club, a summer fairy tale.
In gloomy Germany, I smelled heavily,
of sun, of beach, and of sea.
I longed for sand and club,
for a scent that can, not must.

Then something flew into my nose,
a misty fragrance, but no embarrassment.
Kai Porten stands for clear glass,
the connoisseurs wrinkle their noses quietly.

But hush, my heart! I sprayed gently,
and lo and behold, it was summer night!
A smile spread across my face,
for fakes usually don't smell like this.

Apple! Fresh! A smoky hint,
then birch tar, who needs that?
Vanilla warm, but never too heavy -
a hint of vacation, just not empty.

And suddenly. Almost unrecognized,
a fruit wafts from the tropics.
A tropical breeze, hardly noticeable, yet there,
whispers softly: The banana, oh yes!

The base embraces soft and light,
with a musky greeting to the summer night.
A sandalwood, quite beautiful and fine,
carries us into the evening light.

A summer scent, so cheeky and warm,
like summer days used to be.
Kai keeps it from being pretentious,
it smells of beach, fire, and summer weeks.

(Free interpretation, inspired by Heine)

Introduced in a perfumery. There, a very experienced saleswoman works who has always presented me with exciting fragrances. This time she showed me her new favorite scent: Beach Klub. I chuckled. I tested. I was thrilled! An unusual summer beach scent experience.
Only those who can change their opinion have one at all.

No, really never
I never buy, really never 50 ml bottles. Especially not at such a price.
This time everything was different. I smelled this fragrance and didn’t even look at the price, I didn’t care at all.
From second one I knew I had to have it. People, this green cut banana lying on a burnt piece of wood. This scent fits from the Hamburg harbor pub to a Cuban beach.
This fragrance is green, it is dark and still fits in the summer.

And one more thing about your ratings: you should rate the fragrance, not what’s behind it.

smells like the waiting room of a naturopath treating a backache with singing bowls. In the next room, someone lit a banana.

The smoldering fire consumes the entire beach facility and leaves strange residues of rubber and plant remains. Later, it becomes leathery.

Something unpleasantly smoky with memories of turpentine. I don't understand what the Denglish name Beach Klub is supposed to mean..
