Citrusy to floral Fruity to Musky ambré animalic Woody (oriental ) mix
Jinx J-D'orient 2025

First I thank Sebastian Staudt ( Thebasti ) who allowed me to acquire a sample of this perfume.
I am still trying to understand and decipher the perfumer's idea.
The perfume goes through three stages
The first is citrus musk which reminds me a lot of niche perfumes, until then there is nothing special.
The more time passes the rose comes into play, I find that the rose is cleaned and acide, a little green to the addition of geranium, the smell of the clean rose is powerful, the evolution continues by smelling the appearance of a fruity part behind the rose, the fruity accord is composed according to my nose of plum / clove / blood orange, the accord is more and more syrupy sweet that I like, the complexity of the perfume begins in this floral / fruity stage.
The rose proposed is too present until the end.
time and begins to smell more and more strongly a woody musky amber base, the fruity accord that we feel in the background begins to lose its sharpness without disappearing,and loses its sweetness, the clean rose is still present. the perfumer did not let the musk go to the strong animalic phase.there is also a presence of acidity
the dry down is a clean rose musky animalic ambery woody , interesting , with an addictive background.

Uninhibited soap opera
Not all that glitters is perfume gold. And to be honest, at the moment, the artisan sky is in a state of real gloom anyway. Brands come, brands go, scents stay (the same); you learn that quickly!

The Jinx brand has recently become known for its astonishingly busy release policy. This time, Arthur is trying his hand at a mukhallat composition, i.e. a traditional Far Eastern fragrance line usually consisting of oud, rose and musk, a wonderful combination if an expert is at work.

I already had great doubts beforehand as to whether such an undertaking would bear fruit. My doubts were not dispelled by the lavishly decorated fragrance pyramid, but rather confirmed: the result is an alkaline nightmare with a range of synthetic musk-civet surrogates, completely overused in the base and abnormally persistent (lasting >20 hours). Moreover, very monothematic - from beginning to end.

J-D'Orient smells like acidified rose soap that has recently passed its expiration date. In general, the synthetic component in the base is decidedly too overpowering. Only a handful of the many ingredients can be detected; everything seems to have been rolled flat. There is a slightly sweet note in the background (presumably tobacco and benzoin), which is supposed to draw some sharpness from the aldehydes. A hint of acetic acid and tart lime in the top note further color the already slightly sweaty to pungent fragrance. Well done!

I am by no means a connoisseur and am rarely inclined to rush to judgment as to whether this or that interpretation is right or wrong, but I will take the liberty of commenting here and there on whether I consider it a success. For example, I find the description oriental-ambient unfavorable in view of what is presented.

J-D'Orient strikes me as a slightly tilted, French vintage chypre from the previous century. More Occident than Orient. You can like that, but you can probably experience it far more cheaply elsewhere. Fans of this style may forgive me, but with such a soapy aldehyde monster with scratchy all-in synthetics and some sparkling top note twittering, I take flight without being asked.

Arthur would do well to curb or at least rethink his flood of releases. It's one thing to mix joyfully and happily and live out your creativity, it's another to release immediately. It doesn't help that there's a direct hit every now and then.

His mixed-media releases are not convincing (to me), always seem coarse and not at all well-produced, J-D'Orient is representative of this. The comparatively high ratings for the fragrance so far are quite astonishing. But tastes differ, as we all know, and to err is human.

Thanks to @Seejungfrau for the intensive testing opportunity.

A really classy scent, a soapy and aromatic form of animalics with a deep floral feeling
