Westernized Jubilation...
As most of us know, the judge's gavel falls hardest when he's hungry. And originally I was very keen on trying this as rumour had it that it was a cheaper clone of Amouage's masterpiece Jubilation XXV. If it's meant to be a clone, it's not overly well done. It lacks the jammy fruit and the depth of the oud in Jubilation. So, should it be judged hardly ?
Actually on it's own, and not comparing to other scents, it's a very good scent and you could maybe call it a westernized interpretation of Jubilation. Dark, spicy and full, opening with a bunch of cloves, going through a woody, floral and slightly soapy heart and finally settling on a base of vanilla and amber with a touch of musk. As others have mentioned, the official notes from Rasasi are quite different, and violet + clove are all I get in the opening . Projection is very decent and longevity is quite good.
At the current price around $40 and below I'd say it's a pretty good deal if you are into woody orientals with cloves. Thumbs up!
