Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Encounter EDT
This one is a real head-scratcher. It's a gorgeous spicy boozy gem a lot of us love, but its abysmal performance is seriously frustrating. You'll need to overspray like crazy or accept it as a strictly intimate scent. Don't fall for the marketing hype, though; it won't get you laid.
Statement
Our Verdict - Jazz Club Extrait
Pearl Fragrances copies Maison Margiela Replica Jazz Club's rum-and-tobacco heart well, but the citrus opening fades faster and the base skips the sweaty, animalic edge reviewers say gives the original its late-night realism.

Season and Occasion Fit

Encounter

Seasons

Best For:
Autumn
Also Works:
Spring Winter

A cold-weather scent - best worn in autumn and winter.

Occasions

Best For:
Date
Also Works:
Casual

Its soft projection and intimate nature make it suitable for close encounters like dates or casual evenings. Its boozy, warm spicy nature and poor longevity mean it's not ideal for the office or formal events, and it's definitely not a sport scent.

Jazz Club

Seasons

Best For:
Autumn Winter

A rum-and-tobacco gourmand suits cold weather evenings rather than bright daytime wear.

Occasions

Best For:
Date
Also Works:
Casual

Boozy and a little sultry, best suited to an evening date or a relaxed night out.
