Jupiter, from Electimuss was released in 2020. The perfumer behind this creation is Sofia Bardelli. It has the top notes of Agarwood (Oud), Davana, Incense, Labdanum, and Saffron, middle notes of Cedarwood, Patchouli, Sandalwood, and Vetiver, and base notes of Ambergris, Ambrette (Musk Mallow), Musk, Tonka Bean, and Vanilla.
Jupiter is a very interesting fragrance which seems to change throughout its life. Initially it opens up green and earthy from the davana, patchouli and vetiver, before a powerful oud and dark incense take charge backed up by a leathery labdanum. There’s also a sweetness coming in from the saffron. From here you’d expect the fragrance to stay quite linear but the scent changes depending how close you are to it. Upon smelling my arm into the dry down, I’m still greeted by a slightly abrasive oud and incense combination with earthy patchouli. However when it comes to the sillage around me I pick up much more of the sweet, musky ambrette and salty ambergris. Initially I was going to sell this on however the musky sillage captured my attention and so it’s earned it’s place in my collection. At times I get whiffs of it in the air and am reminded ever so slightly of a lower quality, more affordable version of Roja’s Musk Aoud - but with a much more prominent use of oud.
