I have rarely experienced such a beautiful scent - truly royal!
The fragrance kept me from testing it extensively for a long time due to its high price (can a perfume really be worth that much??) - however, the many positive comments here eventually convinced me to purchase a sample.
And to get straight to the point: after some decanting, I eventually had to get the bottle (Thank you, Thomas!) => yes, it is undoubtedly worth every cent - wellness for the nose :-)
The scent impressions here have already been described in detail and excellently - for me, the fragrance is a wonderfully long olfactory journey through the Orient and a constant challenge to somehow catch all the scent nuances - an addictive fragrance that gives the wearer a royal aura and expands consciousness - qualities that are usually only attributed to drugs.
But as it is with "drugs," handling the substance requires practice - with the right dosage, a long, hangover-free scent high is possible, and the surroundings receive the fragrance with great appreciation.
Certainly not an everyday scent for me, but rather to prevent a quick "over-smelling" (similar to the "over-listening" of a favorite song) and to preserve its uniqueness for as long as possible.
I once read that drugs are for people who cannot cope with reality. The "drug" Jubilation XXV shows that this does not always have to be true - for my part, I get along very well with reality, but with this fragrance, it can be taken to a new level - simply an olfactory delight = 100%!
I like the idea of overlooking a favorite song. I need to think about it. How many songs have I ruined for myself by listening to them excessively? And scents?
Thank you!
Thank you!
