Jest
Jest by Andrea Maack is an unisex eau de parfum in the niche price tier. It opens with plum, cardamom and apple, moves into heliotrope, rum and chocolate and dries down to vanilla, ambroxan and musk. Expect around 8 hours of wear, and it projects at a moderate level.
Notes, explained
Opening
- Plum Dark, wine-like and slightly stewed. Autumnal.
- Cardamom Cool, aromatic spice with a eucalyptus lift. Smells expensive.
- Apple Crunchy and tart or soft and red, depending on the treatment.
Heart
- Heliotrope Almond, vanilla and powder. Smells like marzipan and old-fashioned makeup.
- Rum Boozy, sweet and warm. Adds a grown-up edge to gourmands.
- Chocolate Sweet, dusty and rich. Can go milk-bar or dark-and-bitter.
Dry-down
- Vanilla Sweet, creamy and warm. The most comforting note in perfumery.
- Ambroxan Clean, mineral, skin-like warmth. The engine behind most modern 'beast mode' scents.
- Musk Warm, skin-like and slightly sweet. Makes a fragrance feel like you.
