Intoxicating and calls out to my young self and all the welcome distractions I could have explored. On me, I get rich smoky clove, supple leather and heady wine and musk and I now know why I love its sister scent Exsanguinated so much. I fell hard for a particular seductive combination of notes and the visions they both conjure and the instant confidence boosts they offer. Between the two of them, Exsanguinated is still my boozy prowling choice but Goth Club is a definite keeper and I wish I could launch this scent in a time machine and send it back to myself with a message attached saying, "don't hide who you are; To thine own self be true".

Oh lordt, that clove is wonderful - certainly present, but not a clove bomb. It really makes me want a clove cigarette again, standing outside in the humid night hearing the beat of the bass from the music inside the club. There is a sweetness to the fragrance that I like, and the cabernet brings a nice boozy element to the mix. The patchouli isn't too prevalent, and the leather feels gorgeous against the backdrop of wood. Very nicely done, I like the way all the notes combine with this.
