Very slightly cat pissy (blackcurrant?), minty opening, thyme, and of course as it's a Guerlain, it's very sweet. The sweetness sort of ruins it for me, as it veers away from being fresh, which is how I'd prefer this type of scent to come across. There's aldehydes too, which could possibly save it a bit. I need to see where this goes but for now it's a dud for me, especially from this expensive prestige line.

Jest coś, co pachnie jak spaliny z ruchliwej drogi. CARmina rzeczywiście. Okropne.

This is way better than people credit it for. Sadly though, it's like a slightly less magical Dead of Night (with no real oud unlike the strangelove), and as I own the latter, I don't need this. But if you want DON but would prefer to spend 500 euros instead of 1000 (LOL!) this could be the one. As another reviewer said, don't judge it by shoving your nose into it, as it doesn't do it justice.

A sledgehammer assault version of the original which will appeal to people who like Oud for Greatness, Parfums de Marly and other such sludgy dross. Don't get me wrong, this is better than those, but only just. This is for the next gen brahs who have only just discovered Amouage and those who shell out big money on crap like Fragrance du Bois and Bodicea the Victorious. To say this is similar to the original Jubilation XXV is to completely miss the point and the beauty of the original.

Spray it then leave it for a year and it will perform excellently. This is a real bargain, providing a modern twist on the familiar barbershop masculine. The opening may seem a bit harsh, but it develops into a really lovely perfume, with natural smelling lavender, plus all the notes listed above, but also a semi-soupy tonka-ish base. The sugary soup doesn't dominate and is made less crass by the spices and herbs. I don't wear it often as I don't tend towards this type of scent but when I do I'm always surprised again by how good it is.

Na mdłym końcu chemicznych mlecznych zapachów.

Popieram komentarz meama poniżej, pachnie jak typowy męski zapach z lat 90. W najlepszym razie przeciętny. Gdybym poczuł to na kimś, pomyślałbym, że nosi Bleu de Chanel (jeśli jestem w dobrym humorze). Na mojej skórze nie wyczuwam hyraxu, co jest szkoda, ponieważ mogłoby to uczynić zapach bardziej interesującym.

Massive screechy scratchy fixative base dominates to my nose. Smells like 20 euro middle Eastern fake oud crap.

Taki dziwny zapach, oscyluję między miłością a nienawiścią do niego. To abstrakcyjna biała kwiatowa mieszanka z szafranem i przyprawami, ale także z pewnym rodzajem kwaśnego, serowego elementu, który jest trzymany na dystans (tylko ledwo, a czasami niewystarczająco) przez kremową słodycz. To jeden z trudniejszych zapachów Amouage, a to od domu znanego z trudnych perfum, i z jego najbardziej nieprzewidywalnej, dziwacznej ery. Całkowicie rozumiem, dlaczego ludzie go nienawidzą, a ja właściwie sprzedałem swoją butelkę, ale kupiłem ją znowu (za absolutnie okazyjną cenę, może to zasługa tego, że jest tak kontrowersyjny), ponieważ nigdy do końca nie usunął swoich mack z mojego umysłu. A tak przy okazji, spryskaj trochę Opus I na wierzch 😉😉😉

This smells nasty as a badger's arse on card, but on the skin the sweet, playful nature of the florals begins to dance and flirt, and the (admittedly strong) civet doesn't completely dominate. On skin it also quickly loses the petrolly, chemical edge that remains when I spray it on a strip. It doesn't smell like Malle's Superstitious, but it shares something, perhaps the loud, unabashed jasmine fanfare with skanky retro opulence. I'd say Opus IX is easier to wear than Superstitious, maybe because it lacks the explosion of cheesey aldehydes. I'm a sucker for beeswax and here, it really creeps in after an hour or so, absolutely marvelous. This is a unique and beautiful creation which could never have been very popular, and is a far cry from Amouage's current output (I'm not a salmon-hater BTW). It does that thing of being very modern while also seeming like a love letter to 80s bangers of yore.
