Jubilation XXV

“Cathedral incense and leather-bound manuscripts — serious, magnificent, unapologetic.”

Jubilation XXV

warm spicy

Bertrand Duchaufour's 2007 launch — Amouage's 25th-anniversary release and a foundational composition for the brand's modern masculine line. A smoky-amber-incense masculine with blackberry, olibanum, and labdanum at the top, a honey-cinnamon-clove heart with guaiac wood, and an oud-opoponax-myrrh-patchouli base. Performs strongest in fall and winter, leans evening, with strong projection.
