The bottle is simple but stylish. The sample set is beautifully and lovingly designed. But now to what counts: the perfume.
The fragrance starts slightly citrusy, finely interwoven with a very light alcoholic note and cinnamon. After 5-10 minutes comes the star of the fragrance. The tobacco.
It is bright, light and irresistible due to the light sweetness and the cinnamon sprinkled on top.
Zek is a simple perfume that is incredibly detailed and complex. It is elegant, and perfect for a quiet evening.
Zek is a statement and of all 3, it's the one that excited me the most.
It has little to do with it, but it has the tobacco note that I would have liked from Naxos.
Also an absolute price-performance winner. 140€ for 50ml in this quality, and you get the sample set refunded? Insane. In my opinion, this price-performance winner is only beaten by Nebiru Parfvms. The sample set is honestly recommended, the fragrance is certainly not for everyone, but those who like it will love it.

I'm not the biggest Kai Porten fan, but are you crazy perfume can he.

First of all the bottle, similar to the Cherry X I find the bottle simple but well designed. One point of criticism is that the lettering 'Beach Klub' could have been colored dark green or something.
But as you know, it's the inner values that count.
The fragrance starts pleasantly animalic and fruity. I personally find that this fruitiness is reminiscent of a banana, it is also slightly sweet and spicy.
As it progresses, the light banana scent fades into the background and the juniper with the leather comes to the fore.
The fragrance ends with a pleasant, not too sweet vanilla with light woody or leather undertones.
An insane piece and quite honestly, I can imagine it well in clubs even in summerm
At 40 degrees it would certainly be too much. But at 20-30 degrees Celsius later in the evening, it's a really really good fragrance.
I personally think the Beach Klub is better than the Cherry X because it is much more exciting and special.
This slight animalic at the beginning (which is often a turn-off for me with perfumes) makes it so exciting and appealing, I want to smell it all the time. And as soon as I find a good offer in the souk, I hope Beach Klub will move in with me.

I was able to purchase both the Beach Klub and the Cherry X here as a bottling on Parfumo, and I can only say wow.
First of all the bottle, I find Kai's designs pleasantly simple and yet high quality enough.
But, as we all know, it's what's inside that counts.
The fragrance starts intensely cherry boozy, which I have never smelled in this intensity and quality before.
In the course it becomes (vmtl by the bitter almond) marzipan-creamy, while the cherry remains all the time!!! That was a huge plus point for me because with fragrances like Gritti's Duchessa, for example on my skin, the cherry simply disappears after the first quarter/half hour.
The cherry then ends on a relatively sweet base of tonka and vanilla, whereby it (still!!!) remains, even if it is now weaker, but well perceptible.
The reason why this is not a 10/10 fragrance for me is that it lacks a leather or oud base, for example. The scent remains more or less constantly cherry boozy sweet, I would have liked a nice leather to shine through strongly or more strongly. Unfortunately, I don't smell this leatheriness that some people recognize.
For 220€ the price performance is top for me it is expensive, yes, but it is really worth it.
In winter to go out (of course smelling completely different but I would put it in the same category) if you are tired of the Angels share or generally feel like a mega good cherry scent that stays cherry until the end, definitely try it!

Unfortunately, I am infinitely bad at headlines. This one doesn't do the fragrance justice.
I bought Jubilation XXV blind, like almost all the fragrances in my collection. And wow, I was not disappointed.
I find the bottle, like the Amouage bottles in general, very attractive. Aesthetically simple and yet sophisticated. But, as we all know, the bottle doesn't count when it comes to perfume.
The fragrance starts beautifully with incense and blackberry. If I didn't know which berry it is, I wouldn't be able to tell, but it is beautifully natural. The incense goes hand in hand with the myrrh as the fragrance progresses. While the scent remains slightly sweet until the end, it doesn't change much, I don't get rose and oud at all (luckily)
In my small but fine collection, Jubilation XXV is one of my top 3 together with Wu Long Cha and Toni Iommy-Monkey Special.
The only drawback: The longevity, while the sillage is moderate, the longevity is poor, I get about 4-5 hours from my batch. Which is why I'm also considering whether I should weigh the step up to Jubilation 40, although the surcharge is very steep and I only take the fragrance out for special occasions or to put me
to put me in a good mood. Who knows when a good offer comes along... Because you can't justify the durability at this price.

The conclusion is: This is a special fragrance for special occasions that are for celebrating. However, I don't see Jubilation at real parties in the club or at loud home parties. This is a fragrance for special occasions when there is something to celebrate, a trade fair, a nice dinner, graduation, New Year's Eve, etc.
So far, none of my 120+ samples of this fragrance have arrived.

Xerjoff is a good brand when it comes to popularizing niche scents and marketing them well.
As I'm currently looking for something citrusy/leathery, I naturally came across Homme Anniversary.
First of all, the bottle: many people find it incredibly beautiful. Unfortunately, I don't see it that way. I find the Stone Collection in general with the semi-precious stones on the front of the bottle very attractive, but with Homme and also Elle(?) Anniversary I think the bottle looks cheap. Simply too much. But that's not the point.
As I said, I expected it to be a citrusy leathery bomb with light spice and sweetness. It's not a bomb (which is not a bad thing) and unfortunately it's not leathery either.
I get a sweet lemon like a lemon cream or I find the above mousse a very apt description. No real acidity or anything similar can be detected. Later on, the scent becomes sweeter and slightly spicy, which lasts until the end. I only detect leather very delicately with the styrax in the background, which means that I have to smell very carefully to detect it.
In conclusion: I don't think the fragrance is bad at all. It is certainly a very pleasant all-rounder, especially for winter, spring and fall. (From about 25 degrees it would be too sweet for me). It is also, I think, unisex. Unfortunately, it's not quite what I had hoped for.
