A Well Stocked Medicine Cabinet
For me Jeke is an experience in textures. It brings to mind the feeling of Band-Aid adhesive, antiseptic iodine tincture, Vaseline petroleum jelly, elastic an obscure apothycaric rubbery licorice cough drop. This chamber of oddities also includes a chewy note of dried candied figs on top, which dries down into old leather medical books, burnt rubber tires that exceed Bvlgari Black in both bitterness and intensity. The deeply aged pipe tobacco in a humidor- of a contemplative Professor- with a touch of soggy cigar lying in the gutter. I also detected a pinch of roasting pork loin in a sweet tomato-based sauce(?),rubbery floor mats, fluffy field mouse and Xerox copier toner. Given the simple notes listed, I know this sounds crazy...well, yes, it is! I found this first intriguing and then revolting and now I am not sure whether I need to scrub it or follow it down the rabbit hole further. Is this "sexy"? No. Is this an office appropriate scent? Only after you've given your two weeks notice and you just want everyone to know that you won't forget the fabulous jerkiousity (my new word!) they demonstrated during your time together. Where would I wear this? Most likely to a Monster truck Rally or perhaps to prison (so no where that I plan to ever actually go!). But it was a truly unique adventure, Indeed!

the scent of crusades
Jeke is cloves and camp-fire in the opening. The cloves go strong for about half an hour and after wearing it I read some reviews which all speak of a very pronounced medicinal quality in this. I would have agreed if I had stayed in this initial half hour. I have to wonder whether these people washed Jeke off before giving it a real chance because after this the camp-fire note becomes a ceremonial incense and a wonderful leather note appears. This is the spicy leather variety, in the same genre as Cuir Mauresque, but a bit darker a lot more incensy. Jeke told me stories of holy wars and crusaders burning incense, praying and slaughtering infidels. It has a very spiritual and a very violent side at the same time.

Love on 1st, 2nd & 3rd Sight
My first reaction when sniffing Jeke was: "Ohhh. Lovely leather, lovely wood, lovely oud?, or whatever they used to create the impression of newly turned earth after a rain, wet leather, autumn produce split open on the ground. This is a take-no-prisoners, musky masterpiece. Absolutely nothing disturbs my finicky nose. Applause, applause! It says, 'Go to the lake. Look. See that hand reaching from the sky to the lakeshore in the rain, grabbing clay and making man.' OR, think a Meerschaum pipe, a leather chair by a fire, and a very old Armagnac on a tray nearby. Not sure I'll wear this myself, maybe layer it with a floral, but I'm sure as heck slathering it on my guy. What's in it? Benzoin, patchouli, tobacco, Lapsang Souchong (looking it up...black tea from the Fujian province of China, has a famously smoky aroma), vanilla, clove. Just tremendous!"

Comparing it to Norma Kamali's incense ($1000 or so a bottle), I said, "NK is the kind of destiny for which heroes give their lives. Jeke is life risen from their ashes to inhabit the earth in glory again. Perhaps tears are even coming to my eyes at the gift of experiencing such perfumes. I suppose I should look up the notes in Jeke again, look up those in Norma Kamali. No point. They are equal excellences, far transcending their ingredients. If I never own Norma Kamali, I am greatly comforted by owning Jeke."

Unfortunately, I can't wear Jeke alone. It's just too powerfully masculine, but I made a discovery. Layer Slumberhouse's latest, Zahd -- a sweet gourmand--, on top and I'm good to go, smelling like the Garden of Eden did when Eve and Adam first kissed.

I adore, adore Slumberhouse perfumes. Turns out my guy loves Vikt the most, so I have to hold the fort for Jeke, which I love most of all. It ought to be impossible to create a scent like Jeke, but somehow Slumberhouse did.

Tobacco on ambery and benzoin-vanilla shed
Two years ago I have received a large decant of Slumberhouse Jeke. My fragrance mate told me it's the best tobacco best perfume on the market today.

First things first, it's not a tobacco based perfume for me. It is really heavy on benzoin, some resins and has got some vanilla to make it more spicy. A lot of people described Jeke as being very smoky. It's not smoky to me. It is resinous, sticky and sweet. It may have some noble alcohol notes deep inside (rum perhaps?)

The presentation is not on par with what I get. Generally not bad, but I've expected something else.

Smouldering
Balsamic, spicy, leathery, powdery vanilla with smoky resinous tones. The vanilla isn't sweet, but is just enough to stop this being too far over the edge. A nice accord rather than a complete perfume, softer than I expected. It just seems to chug along like this with a little glow of a greenish incensey leathery scent popping out now and again to make you think of an ingredient you recognise, then gone before it gets pinpointed. I see now that is is the tea with patchouli.

This reminds me of a forest shadows, cool greens, musty ground and the remains of a camp fire smouldering. The warmth is still there but no flames. The remains of the frankfurters are burned now and their cade-like edge is still whispering. The smoke occasionally wafts over and obscures the softness. Then the night settles in, quietly obscuring the scene.

A rather dry and pungent, (oriental) spicy resinous-sweet Winter fragrance, with a thick and smoky, spicy boozy-sweet opening. Beast mode!

An oaky-smoky sweetie - easy to appreciate, hard to domesticate.
