Here’s the concept: Each of Xerjoff’s ten Join the Club (or JTC) fragrances is an olfactory homage to a particular hobby. When you buy one of them, you get a code that gives you access to a website with “exclusive initiatives” about the hobby to which your perfume is linked. Golf, sailing, theater, meditation, cigars, jazz, poetry, fashion, horse racing and traveling each has its own JTC fragrance.
Well. A beautiful fragrance doesn’t need a gimmick to sell it, and as soon as I read the description, my snark machine fired up. On the other hand, Xerjoff doesn’t usually skimp on materials, and although many of their fragrances are conservative to my nose, I really like a few of them…
Sondra wants to find a new perfume with “significant green notes and some floral notes”. She can spend up to $150, and while she doesn’t have great access to perfume shops, buying online and sampling through decants is her usual method of trying fragrances anyway. Here is what we know about Sondra:
She’s a therapist in her early 50s.
She’s an outdoorsy person who would rather spend a day hiking or with a book than at the mall or indoors.

Sondra likes galbanum, rose, hawthorn, lilac and heliotrope…
