Rum with Coconut...
I must say, I don't find this one as a "dark" or "heavy" scent in any way. I immediately get a rum and coconut vibe here, which is really quite nice. To me this fragrance has a boozy, tropical aspect to it. In other words, it doesn't remind me entirely of a jazz club.

Nevertheless it is a really good fragrance. I do get rum and tobacco, although the leather is faint. I also see this as sophisticated and with depth. I can see this working beautifully on any person's skin. I wholly recommend it to try if you like the boozier type of sophisticated scents. Give it a try and you may be surprised. It's one I like for sure.

A lost lover
This is the smell of the man you meet around 2am in the bar at the Jazz Club. The man that starts flirting with you, carelessly and mostly for fun - to begin with. You have a drink together and chat for a while. After some time you sit very close to each other and this is when you notice. The smell of him. Really attractive. Smoke, vetiver and Rum. You move closer to get more of this alluring scent and he interprets it as an invitation to lean in on you and start whispering. Something about your dress, your hair, your bare shoulders. You close your eyes and keep enjoying the magnificent odor from his face and neck. He places his hand on your thigh and puts his lips so close to your cheek, you are not sure if they actually touch. You feel his warm breath and notice that his eyes are intensely looking at you. You agree to leave. He lends you his coat. It smells the same way. You grab a cab together…
The next morning, even though he left while you slept, you can still smell him on your pillow.

Rum? I dunno...
Wore this one for about a week now and am quite happy with how it degrades over time on clothing. The overall character of the drydown remains and doesn't become too musty. To me, that's usually a sign of quality. That said, this is nowhere near a masterful scent IMO and definitely not worth the money.

Ouch. I know. But I was honestly expecting a little more -- booze that is. For example, the rum note in Perry Ellis' BVA is unmistakable and actually smells like rum, straight off the top. Ditto with By Kilian's STH. The rum in this one however, smells more to me like a synthetic iris concotion, similar to the one in Armaf's Futura La Homme or Zara's Tone Indeterminee (even though that one doesn't have iris officially listed). It's definitely not a BAD smell, but doesn't really evoke any "boozy" qualities for me - more like "warm floral".

It's also not strong. Like, AT ALL. But that's certainly not a bump, since it does have that slightly warm quality that could become cloying if it screamed like a beast. But the blend...hmmm...I dunno. There are a few notes in there that don't quite mesh that well. I have a feeling it's the styrax, sage and vetiver combination that doesn't quite sit right if I smell it too close. The bolded fragrance notes above are a fair approximation of what I get too - a tiny bit of tobacco and vanilla, with a whole lot of that "rum" weirdness.

The sillage is quite nice and dense though, which is a plus in cold weather. It would also fit very well with a wool coat and scarf. But for the money...I think there are far better options, even in the designer realm. Code Profumo, Dior Homme and Valentino Uomo Intense come to mind and I would take any of those over Jazz Club. I even wore this once while playing some casual jazz with a few friends - sunburst epiphone dot in hand - just to see if I was feelin' it. I wasn't.

Instead, for a night with the band, give me Versace Man or Pure Malt - two more excellent, more interesting and less expensive options over Jazz club. Like I said, it ain't bad, and the ingredients are quality, but the smell could use a little work, especially for the price. I'm glad I got to wear it though, but if someone were to gift me a bottle, I definitely wouldn't keep it. Maybe it's just my nose.

Fall noir
If you ever half-passed out in a nicotine drenched taxi cab, after being basically kicked out of the bar at closing time - because the whiskey was just too good and the conversation with your date even better, you know what this smells like.

I read some people find it too masculine and heavy, to me there’s hardly such a thing in perfumery. If this would be undeniably charming on a man, it would be absolutely divine on a woman that knows how to wear it.
In terms of realism, it’s absolute perfection: it is both the interior of the most decadently beautiful jazz club, and the pungent, cold wind outside of it. Aromatic spiciness shields the warm, sweet cigarettes’ core.

Wearing it, I feel like a sophisticated film noir detective in a trench coat, stepping on a carpet of crunchy red leaves in an autumn night.

Used cigarette smell
This is a third and last Maison Margiela scent I am trying. I give up. Like the other two, this one also smells cheap, synthetic, gross. It really smells like old smoked cigarettes and nothing else. I heard so much praise for Jazz Club, yet it just smells gross and somehow still generic and forgettable. bye...

P.S. if like me you're disappointed by this fragrance and are still looking for a good tobacco-rum scent, try Cigar Rum by Strangers Parfumerie.

Jazz Club reminds me of Malibu rum, a coconut liqueur, boozy and creamy. The combination with smoke and tobacco makes the scent unpleasant.

This one smells a lot like the aftershave my dad wears and that gives me feelings that are too big to formulate into a review right now

My dumb reach for fall and winter. Powdery, boozy tobacco with some slight incense. Solidly unisex; smells better on my girlfriend than me.

Rum and tobacco on top of an intense sweetness. Might be too sweet for some and a little overpriced, but smells awesome in the air

Smoky, sweet and slightly boozy. Definitely gives the effect of being in a jazz club. A great designer scent. Well blended yet evocative.

Luxurious jazz club where all the men are dressed in suits, drinking whisky and smoking cigars. Very sweet, sexy, smoky, boozy scent.

Most Margiela scents tend to get the evocative side spot on. This one is pleasant enough but I couldn't even find the door to the Jazz Club.
