{"product_id":"room-1015-wasabi-klub-eau-de-parfum","title":"Room 1015 Wasabi Klub Eau de Parfum","description":"\u003ch2\u003eWhat it smells like\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eWasabi Klub is a sharp citrus-and-pepper fragrance built around the one thing its name promises, and it is considerably drier and more savoury than a green citrus usually is. The opening is yuzu, lime and grapefruit — bright, tart and a little rindy, with none of the sweetness that usually softens a citrus top.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe heart is where it earns the name. Wasabi sits alongside black pepper, Timur and Sichuan pepper, and the combination produces that specific prickling sensation in the nose that wasabi produces on the palate — green, pungent and faintly nasal, without smelling like food. The Sichuan and Timur peppers add a citric, tingling quality that keeps the top notes alive far longer than they would otherwise last.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe base is concrete, Orcanox and amberwood: mineral, dry and modern, the sort of ambery woods that read as texture rather than as warmth. Community accords rank it citrus first at full weight, then fresh spicy some way behind, with green, sweet and woody facets underneath.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIt is the newest fragrance in the line, released in 2026, and the most immediately unusual.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWho made it\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eComposed by \u003cstrong\u003eJérôme di Marino\u003c\/strong\u003e, a French perfumer at Mane who trained through Givaudan and Takasago, the latter under Francis Kurkdjian, and who has since composed Kenzo World Power, Burberry Her Elixir de Parfum and Mr. Burberry Element. He is the nose behind most of the current Room 1015 line, and his particular skill is putting a difficult material at the centre of a composition and making it wearable rather than making it a joke.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eYou can see the other fragrances he composed for the house, and for others, on the \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/jerome-di-marino\"\u003eJérôme di Marino collection page\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWho it's for\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eFor people who find most fresh fragrances boring and most pepper fragrances heavy. This sits between the two: it has the lift of a cologne and the bite of a spice scent, with no sweetness bridging them.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIt suits anyone who already enjoys Sichuan pepper or shiso-type green notes, and it is a good choice if you want something that reads as deliberate rather than pleasant. Within the Room 1015 line it is the sharpest and most abstract — Wavechild is the easy-going citrus by comparison, and Cherry Punk is its opposite in every respect.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eUnisex, and unusually so: there is nothing in the structure that codes either way.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWhen to wear it\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eWarm weather and daylight. The citrus and the pepper both benefit from heat, and the mineral base keeps it from collapsing the way a pure cologne would by mid-afternoon. Spring and summer are its natural season.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIt is a genuine office and everyday fragrance — dry, clean and not sweet, which is the combination that usually works in close quarters. Projection is moderate and it settles close to the skin after the first hour.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eAbout the house\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eRoom 1015 is a Parisian niche house founded in 2015 by Michael Partouche — Dr. Mike — a trained pharmacist who spent five years in London touring with his band before deciding that fragrance was the one discipline that could hold both halves of his life. The name is a hotel room number: 1015 of the Continental Hyatt House on Sunset Strip, the \"Riot House\", where touring bands took their after-parties in the 1970s.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe house calls what it does olfactory counterculture, and every fragrance starts from a specific cultural reference rather than from a material. The bottle is the same throughout — heavy coloured glass sized for the palm, under a faceted cap cut like a dark gem, black for the eaux de parfum and silver for the extraits. Wasabi Klub takes its brief from street culture and freestyle dance — the brand's phrase is bodies in motion.
