What Is French Avenue Scorpio a Dupe Of?

Scorpio is a clone of Jazz Club

French Avenue Scorpio is a clone of Maison Margiela Replica Jazz Club Eau de Toilette. Rum, tobacco and vanilla are the main connection. Scorpio adds davana to a note list that otherwise follows much of the same idea, making it a useful one to sample alongside the original.

Follow the rum, tobacco and vanilla

Scorpio lists davana, pink pepper, neroli and lemon at the top. Rum, vetiver and clary sage sit in the middle, with tobacco, vanilla bean and styrax at the base. There's quite a bit to compare before you even get to the three notes Jazz Club is best known for.

Jazz Club's catalog profile starts with pink pepper, neroli and lemon. Its heart names rum, Java vetiver oil and clary sage, while the base lists tobacco leaf, vanilla bean and styrax. The citrus, herbs and resin are part of the connection too.

Davana is the extra detail to explore

Davana appears in Scorpio's top notes and isn't listed in Jazz Club's profile. We'd pay attention to the opening when sampling, then see how the rum and tobacco combination develops after that first impression.

The overlap is clear in the listed notes, but the balance is still worth checking for yourself. Notice whether the rum, the tobacco or the vanilla holds your attention, and whether the pepper and herbal details add something you enjoy. Matching labels won't tell you how the finished blends feel on your skin.

Which Jazz Club are we comparing?

The reference here is Replica Jazz Club Eau de Toilette. Scorpio belongs to French Avenue's Genesis range; check that full product name when looking for a sample.

We'd put Scorpio on the shortlist if rum, tobacco and vanilla sound like a combination you'd reach for. If you're replacing a bottle of Jazz Club, compare both samples during the same wear. Give them time beyond the opening and see which balance makes you want another spray.
