Press Club
Regular price $ 185.00Stop the presses! New for 2023, Blocki's Press Club is a dapper spicy amber fragrance.
Press Club is part of the Heritage collection of fragrances inspired by the true stories behind original Blocki fragrances from the early 1900s.
The aroma of woods and spices drifts over the table as perfumer John Blocki cues a game of three-cushion. It is 1925 and the newsgatherers in the Press Club billiard room are determined to get the scoop. Rub shoulders with these social buccaneers and the cosmopolitan celebrities, sharp-witted orators, and famous artists and writers that flock to the Press Club’s legendary soirees.

Returns
We do not accept returns of perfumes, simply because perfumes can't be resold once they've been opened and used. We encourage you to order samples before purchasing full bottles of perfume. And here's the good news — with every sample purchased, we'll send you a coupon code that allows you to redeem the cost of the sample and sample shipping if you buy a full bottle of the fragrance you tried (in other words, you get $10 off).
Please contact orders@ministryofscent.com if you have a question or issue related to your order or shipping.
Sample Orders
Samples are designed to help you evaluate scents you might want to later purchase as a full bottle. You may order one sample per fragrance, up to 15 total in a single order. Samples are non-refundable.
For sample orders, please check your packing slip for a special code that will allow you to redeem the price of samples and sample shipping when purchase full bottles of the scents you sample ($10 off full bottles).
Complimentary Samples
We provide complimentary samples with $75+ full bottle purchases. You may request up to 3 samples with any qualifying order. Please use the Order Note section on the Shopping Cart overlay to let us know which complimentary samples you would like. We'll try to provide the scents you've requested, but substitutions may occur if items are out of stock.
This smells amazing on my partner and dries down to a subtle masculine spicy amber scent that is long lasting.
Truly remarkable…what a bold fragrance!
For me, the bergamot, rosemary, and cypress burst forward with a clean, light and fresh open. The clove and Amber give the fragrance depth. I think it’s the frankincense that adds the something special, makes it feel sophisticated. That’s it - quiet, but unmistakable sophistication.
I ordered this fragrance based on its components since it contained 95% of the ingredients that I gravitate to in a perfume. Upon receiving it and sampling, it did not disappoint. It was everything I was hoping and more. It is a subtle fresh scent with warm undertones that transports you to the 1920s and 1930s Press Club in Chicago where you can almost close your eyes and imagine you're surrounding in the room.
And lastly, the presentation, packaging and bottle are exquisite, reminiscent of the the gold age of perfumery making it a complete experience.
Congrats to Blocki for creating such a beautiful fragrance which is now in my rotation of fragrances I wear regularly.
Scentcerely,
Rusty
