You can't get more oriental than that.
Oriental fragrances are basically one of my favorite. Forced to stumble sooner or later on this candidate, also because it is one of the most popular fragrances for men on parfumo. Since Amouage is known to hurt the wallet pretty much, I have me first of all a sample to get.
And what can I say?
Jubilation is really an Oriental as it stands in the book. The prelude is clearly dominated by the blackberry, which for whatever reason, is not often found in men's perfumes. Immediately a resinous-smoky base develops, which is (and remains) very gentle and unobtrusive. Frankincense, myrrh, opoponax and the honey are the most distinct notes for me. To recognize all the notes that are listed here, I'm probably a little too untrained.
Similar to the Interlude one immediately burn images of the Orient, the desert and Arab bazaars in my head. It smells really heavenly and relaxes immensely.
But now to the reason why I did not buy a bottle of it. First, I must emphasize that I am not one of the faction that evaluates and buys fragrances only by durability and sillage. But with Jubilation, I was totally dissatisfied. Especially with such a DNA. Other fragrances that go in this direction are actually really at the upper limit of durability. After 2 hours... nothing. Still very slightly noticeable on the skin. I don't get it. Too bad.
This Amouage is without a doubt a first-class fragrance of first-class quality, as long as you smell it then. Unfortunately, this aspect has denied me a purchase.
