  |  Clubman is like a weak Polo Sport or CK Be cologne with a lot of mint. I don't get aquatic here, I get fresh or sporty type however. I am not a lover of overpowering mint in colognes, smelling like spearmint gum is just not my thing.Thumbs down for lack of originality, and excessive use of mint to try to cover up that lack of originality. 29 September 2008 |

|  Bright, clean, and sweet, "Clubman" for me rings a faint bell of Dana's "Canoe," my very first fragrance, and one that was suited to a teen boys first scent. This is not an offensive fragrance, and it is not T&H's worst offering, but it is distinctly youthful and sporty. And no, I don't mean for the young at heart, too. A fine young man's sporty scent . . . but not for the over-25 set.26 September 2008 |

|  A sweet marine/salty accord that is aromatic and a little cooling like mint. Not great but not terrible. Very average and modern.05 September 2008 |

| T&H have created three "oceanics" out of their seven scents and this is the only one that I like. It begins with a minty, clean scent (which disappears after half an hour), then resolves to a cedar scent (almost identical to Caswell's Gifts of the Sea bubble bath scent). Why one would think mint and cedar are oceanic is beyond my comprehension, but be that as it may, this is a nice clean and fresh scent, the strongest and longest lasting of the T&H trio, and the only one worth purchasing. (To my nose, this, Freshman and 1805 are identical with tiny differences. I reject 1805 as it disappears quite quickly and I reject Freshman due to its candy sweet drydown). 04 December 2007 |
 | I don’t care for Clubman. I agree with zztopp and others. The synthetic/oceanic note here is not pleasant, and I find that it muddles the other elements. There is a pleasant citrus opening. The mint is not as strong as in Freshman. The woody musk is probably the nicest element, but that doggone ‘plasticky’ element ruins this. I’m not sure what this is supposed to be: it is not fresh enough in a nice way to be a fresh scent, not woody or spice enough to be that sort of scent, in the end it is nothing much at all. T&H has some great scents (Grafton in particular, also Trafalgar) but this is not one of them. 26 October 2007 |

| The notes list sounded like it was right up my alley. And initially it was. Unfortunately it just doesn't hold up well. The citrus is extremely fleeting. The mint is a little too powerful. The floral notes are too weak. The oceanic note is too synthetic, like zztop mentioned. And finally the woody base is overtaken by the kind of soapy-synthetic musk I don't like. Clubman is a great concept that was executed in a weak and cheap-smelling way. If I were to compare it to any other juice, it would be Erolfa, but by no means is it anywhere near Erolfa in quality, blend complexity and tenacity/sillage. 14 June 2007 |
