Amouage

Jubilation XXV EDP

2007

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

Jubilation XXV
amber
sweet
warm spicy

Lucas Sieuzac'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, evening, 9+ hours with strong projection.
