The best Amouage
The opening is dominated by blackberry, surrounded by aromatic and citrus touches. Little by little, the fragrance navigates towards denser and more complex phases. Woods, spices, a subtle rose and honey are responsible for giving life to the middle of the fragrance, where it must be said, the blackberry from the beginning is maintained.
But obviously this is not all. In the final phase we find Oud, myrrh and opoponax. A simply heavenly woody, resinous and smoky blend. I still maintain it, for me Jubilation XXV is a masterpiece of perfumery.
Many of you have asked me after the presentation reel, so in a while I will make a comparison of the old version with this one, but I can tell you in advance that in terms of performance, this new one has lasted more than 16 hours on my skin. (2013 batch)

Fruity explosion!
Its opening is made up of an absolutely delicious fruit explosion. A pineapple reinforced by citrus fruits are the culprits of this first phase. As the first original point, after a few minutes the aldehydes give a very funny twist to this first phase.
During the heart, some floral tones are very subtly perceived, but nothing dominant or easily recognizable.
Musk and sandalwood are the two predominant ingredients at the base of the creation, although denser and smokier woods are also perceived.

Tiger's Nest
Tiger's Nest is surely one of the best interpretations of incense that I have been able to try.
As you can imagine, incense is the main ingredient in this composition, but what really makes it special are its travel companions.
In the first minutes, the absinthe and a subtle touch of citrus impel creation. Once that initial 'punch' goes down, floral nuances dance with the incense, always in the background but present. These floral tones (I insist that they are very very subtle) give the composition a more cheerful point.
The final phase becomes the most interesting for me. Up to this point, incense has not yet been domesticated, but with the arrival of amber, resins and a touch of vanilla, it begins to lose some of its prominence to create a warm and extremely pleasant end of evolution.
Sublime fragrance of incense and amber that I am sure lovers of the genre will love.

What a surprise!!!
Smokey Jazz is a delight from start to finish. A fruity explosion at the beginning, where the apple, slightly spicy and with a touch of liquor, leads this beginning.
After a few minutes, the fragrance starts to smokier and creamier. Touches of vanilla and dry wood are perceived as well.
In the drydown, the smoky part continues to increase and sandalwood, pachouli (very soft and pleasant) and musky tones join the party. Honestly, I think it's hard to do it justice with words, it's better to experience it firsthand.
Believe me, an absolute barbarity of incomprehensibly little-known perfume. No hesitation: 10/10.
