Which Should You Buy?
Match Fragrances' interpretation of Ralph Lauren's Ralph's Club (2022) - the Quentin Bisch and Pascal Gaurin lavender-vetiver-vanilla masculine that became Ralph Lauren's modern speakeasy signature, here translated into a lavender-absinthe opening over patchouli and a vetiver-vanilla close. Honest dupe-fidelity for evening masculine wear at a fraction of the designer price.
A divisive scent, many find it generic with weak performance, though a few discerning noses claim it's a dead ringer for Roja Scandal. It's either an uninspired woody-spicy offering or a hidden gem that offers luxury for less. Buyer beware: the community is split.
