Are you a worthy successor...
Hello everyone,
today I would like to tell you something about the new Jubilation 40.
I wore the fragrance up and down for a few days and tested it thoroughly. Few sprays, many sprays, early in the morning, in the evening and at various events....
455€ is really a lot of money and you have certain expectations.
Here we go:
Before I get to the fragrance itself, I would like to say something about the OVP, bottle and sprayer.
Briefly and concisely about the packaging - typically Amouage classy, chic, high-quality.
About the bottle the same as before ;) , timeless, perfect and anything other than a 10/10 will be difficult.
About the sprayer, I have already said it in certain reviews of Amouage before, on the one hand I am certainly not a FAN of the spray head, in the sense of the structure of it, the possible dosage and the mMn very centric orientation / hardness of the content that arrives quasi ;). Funny wording I know, but when I see Chanel and Dior, for example..., I wonder why such a great house as Amouage can't manage this.
About the fragrance:
The older batches (up to 18) still have this noticeable blackberry and since my Jubilation XXV Man is a really good comparison in this respect, it was never far away for 1:1 testing. (Mine is an older one)
Is it as fruity as the earlier one?
No (!) it's not, it's in the background for the first 20 mins and yes it's there, but it virtually never becomes active. It rounds it off nicely, gives a great progression and a really nice start.
After that?
You notice quite quickly that the new Jubilation 40 is quite similar in structure to an old Jubilation XXV Man and that's a good thing. I have always seen those as the "perfect and gentle and pleasing introduction" and yes, this is also the case with Jubilation 40. Then the mix of incense, leather, woods and spicy notes comes very quickly and we are greeted by the Jubilation XXV Man, only newer, more modern, but just as timeless!
And the end:
I honestly liked it one of the best - I heard Oud for Greatness similarities, among others, that I can't say and feel that way! For me it ends in a soft magic of amber and woody notes. Very well made and implemented.
How do I rate the fragrance = a 9/10!
Durability I would give it a 9 to 9.5 out of 10! The sillage is ok and really really good at the beginning (10min),
then becomes skin tight. However, this is due to the high
concentration Concentration of the case.
A quick word about the sillage and my personal opinion:
On the subject of sillage, after around 2 hours we're talking about a "skin scent" here, but I think that's a good thing!
Why?
I have some "breakers" and I simply can't wear those fragrances on certain occasions because they are too potent and too penetrating for most people. Many of us celebrate such things and to be honest I also like it when my fragrance is strong (making a statement, getting noticed and so on), but there are also moments, for example in the car, train, plane and so on, where you can't wear something like "Triumph". where you shouldn't wear something like Triumph of Bacchus Extrait de Parfum or my old 2017 Carlisle or my Mana, but something subtle, elegant and extremely chic, and that's where Jubilation 40 is really good.
How was it received?
Very, very good so far! As it's quite gentle - people like that more than a crowbar ;)
Very briefly something about Jubilation XXV Man (is essential for the evaluation), I can only honestly advise everyone not to buy a Jubilation XXV Man from 2022, especially the 2023's in this booklet are sooo bad and a rip-off before the Lord! Diluted like Sa* and the performance is very bad!
If you can get your hands on a vintage bottle (light-colored lid without magnetic cap) and the price is halfway ok - then go for it! And I think in 2016 the lids came with a magnetic cap (don't know exactly), if you get this version until 2018 (batch) also grab it and you will love it, after that rather no!
That about the Jubilation XXV Man and now about the Jubilation 40 !
Is it worth the purchase?
This is purely a question of personal taste and the money factor with the 455€ makes me say NO!
Why?
Now the Jubilation XXV Man comes into play again, if you find an old/older bottle, you usually spend less and have more performance. If you are collectors and friends of the house or line, then ok it is NOT A FAKE BUY.
Nevertheless, I would like to recommend it to you (IF YOU LIKE THE DIRECTION)! (It's certainly worth a TEST... and possibly even more! )
And now have a nice day/evening, or whatever you read this review, LG the Benny
