Mauboussin Private Club for Men is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2018, created by Alexandra Carlin. Private Club for Men opens with Bergamot, Pepper, Cardamom, and Coriander, settles into a heart of Red Apple and Cinnamon, and dries down to a base of Amber and Patchouli. Mauboussin's Private Club for Men carries a Statement verdict, a sweet-led wear.

This one's a divisive beast. Some rave about its sophisticated, sexy blend of spices and dark fruit, while others dismiss it as an unoriginal, artificial let-down. If you're after a warm, bold scent with proper heft, it might just surprise you - if you can get the cap off, that is.

Timeline

Showing: Overall Blend

Top, heart and base are the brand's own listing, not a timing claim - the industry classifies a note by its character as much as by how fast it fades. Each curve here is modelled from that material's own volatility, so groups can overlap when a house lists long-lasting materials in its heart.

Declarable allergens

We derive these from the materials behind this fragrance's notes, not from the bottle. Each one is likely, not confirmed. The list is partial - the box can name others.

The large name is the everyday one. The small name is the INCI form on the box, so you can compare the two. Reactions differ between people. A patch-test panel is not a ranking of risk. How we derive this

About

Private Club kicks off with a lively, peppery burst, tempered by aromatic cardamom and a hint of coriander. Before long, a rich heart of warm cinnamon and a juicy red apple accord emerges, adding a touch of sweet fruitiness to the spice. The drydown settles into a comforting, resinous amber with an earthy patchouli undertone, creating a deep and sensual finish.
