Jubilation 40 Man

Jubilation 40 Man by Amouage is a masculine-leaning extrait de parfum in the luxury price tier. It opens with blackberry, blackcurrant, rosemary, labdanum, sweet orange and davana, moves into broom, frankincense, cinnamon, clove, bay leaf and rose and dries down to patchouli, opoponax, myrrh, cedarwood, guaiac wood and oud. Expect around 12 hours of wear, and it projects strongly.

Notes, explained

Opening

Blackberry Dark, jammy and wine-like. Deeper than most berries.
Blackcurrant Tart, dark and slightly catty. Adds bite to florals.
Rosemary Sharp, camphorous herb. Bracing and clean, borders on medicinal.
Labdanum Sticky, leathery resin. Dark honey and old books.
Sweet Orange Juicy and cheerful. The friendliest citrus there is.
Davana Odd and gorgeous — apricot jam, rum and dried herbs at once.

Heart

Broom Honeyed, hay-like, slightly tobacco. Sun on dry grass.
Frankincense Bright, peppery, church-like resin. Lifts and cools a fragrance.
Cinnamon Sweet heat. Reads festive, sometimes to a fault.
Clove Hot, dry and dental. Powerful — a little goes a long way.
Bay Leaf Warm, aromatic and slightly sweet. The backbone of classic barbershop scents.
Rose Can be jammy, green, peppery or soapy depending on the type. Not one smell.

Dry-down

Patchouli Damp earth and dark chocolate. Either you love it or it's your least favourite note.
Opoponax Sweet myrrh. Balsamic, warm and slightly medicinal.
Myrrh Bitter, smoky resin. Ancient-smelling and slightly cool.
Cedarwood Dry, pencil-shaving woodiness. Clean and structural.
Guaiac Wood Smoky, tarry and slightly sweet. Like a bonfire and roses.
Oud Resinous, medicinal, barnyard-adjacent wood. The most expensive note in perfumery.
