What does Jubilee smell like?

The top pairs cardamom, pineapple, cinnamon and saffron, so spice and fruit meet in a sweet register. The heart of violet leaf, lily of the valley and Egyptian jasmine adds a floral, slightly powdery softness. The base of musk, sandalwood, oud and crystal amber carries it into a warm, woody-oriental finish.

Longevity is rated strong and sillage good. Most voters pick autumn and winter, with spring not far behind, and it leans towards evenings and nights out. Voters read it as more feminine, though a sizeable share call it masculine.
