Hey- is Amouage Jubilation and Jubilation XXV the same thing?
Maybe. Depends on whether it's the Arabic or the Roman version.
There's Jubilation XXV (men's) and there's Jubilation 25 (women's).
Ambre Dore
by Maitre Parfumeur et Gantier
styrax, geranium, clary sage, coriander, saffron, sandalwood, vetiver, myrrh, amber, oud
I wore this two days in a row just to be sure, but it's not for me. It smells remarkably similar to Cuir Fetiche in that they both have a vintage appeal but where CF has a more floral leather combination this one has a sweet powdery leather combination. At times I like it but most of the time I'm just not impressed. For me I think it's because I actually prefer my ambers on the spicy but dry side, perhaps a little animalic, like Goutal's Ambre Fetiche. Similarly, I like my ouds pretty much straight up or mixed into mukhallats (yes, I confess, I think I'm becoming a bit of an oud snob). But seriously I never really did care for Tom Ford's Oud Wood except that I liked it's peculiarity - I do however like M7 so I do have that to my credit. In Ambre Dore, the amber and oud really just come together in a sweet melange - there's some leather to it, the amber is obvious, but my mind is quickly trying to pull them apart and keep them separated. For all I know, it's the myrrh that's ruining it for me and not the amber or oud at all. Oh well, I think I might be the only one that isn't jumping out of my seat for this one.
