What does Jubilation 40 smell like?

It is rated strong in longevity and good in sillage; most voters pick fall and winter, and it leans towards evenings and nights out. It reads masculine and classic, and it is rarely chosen for summer heat.

It opens with rosemary, blackcurrant and orange for a fruity lift. The heart carries cinnamon, clove and rose for spice and sweetness, with frankincense adding a resinous depth. Oud, patchouli and cedarwood settle into a woody, smoky base. Amouage Jubilation XXV Man and Monkoku Silent Moon have a close profile.
