The King of Kings

Jubilation 40 is surely one of the cardinal scents of Amouage, It can be described as a deep dry sweet, Dark Frankinciense scent, but that goes into a beautiful strong dark wooden brown entity of oud right after as if dark ink dries down, is sweet but in a dry preserved way thanks to the choice of Blackberry, the Agarwood and Myrrh creates this majestic Dry / Wet Tobacco like combination, is creamy but dense, the dry down is king, is ethereal, mystic, and very masculine, the Animalic is present, and yet gentle, i have to praise the way it was mixed, it gives to the mind the sensation of how nature in any form can be special, even in animalic form, for this reason alone i think is a Pillar, is a scent created for themselves, but refined for the entire world, it shows the beauty of Oman in a way that only the people living there for centuries could grasp.

Is a painting of a legacy land, and the heritage of the same land is creating a story in your mind, what is remarkable about this scent is that it make you realise that the combination of earthy resins done excellently can create insanely beautiful scent in the air, this is better on others than on you, it creates a magical 3rd dimension "soap" smell in the air, that you only feel when is far from you, and this alone make you understand the power of Persian culture and how they used scents to almost make the "area" where you are pleasant for everyone around you, i guess this is what they used in those old times among kings and queens (because is refined). It really make you feel regal. This 3d effect alone made me buy it, you will rarely came across something of this caliber, is a scent that works on skin as a cream, as much as works even better "around you", empowering your aurea.

On this same note, i don't think people in general far from this culture would understand this at all, Sure you can love it for what it is, but i think the beauty of a scent like this is the idea itself, is mind boggling how someone came up with this particular accord combination, Every element alone is powerful, imagine mixing them, Since is such a powerful scent on all fronts, Longevity is a benchmark, 5h later is still smelling like 4 hours before and could be a very good signature, is expensive for that use, but if you have high standards J40 won't let you down. Use it for a simple day out, or your own marriage, you won't fail. Masterpiece
