This perfume smells like inside of an Indian temple or wedding ceremony to me. The aromas are very meditative. And then there’s a bit of that jammy rose which is distinctive to Middle Eastern places of worship. And then the frankincense from church. It’s a very, very interesting fragrance that is meant to be shown off in company, not for a solo evening at home. On my list for full bottle.

Got a 2024 bottle recently and the performance is pretty good. Easily lasting a full work day. Same with Reflection. 2024 bottles are way better.

I hope Amouage corrected that issue. Those fragrances are the best.

Got goosebumps when I first tried this one on my skin. Had to have it, regardless of how it performs. Thank you for the review! PS: what happened with the new creed frag review?

I took it down I’m gonna review it again once it’s released. I didn’t want to turn people off to it before they got to try it. Felt like I could spoil it for someone putting all those images in their head 😅.

My old 2ml sample is probably stronger than my 2024 100ml bottle. Feels like a scam.

I don't know who or why Amouage decided to dilute this perfume, but it's a shame because the price is still very high :(( you are perfectly right, it doesn't have any persistence at all!! with indulgence 4h but at the level of the skin. Shame on Amouage for destroying this perfume masterpiece!!
@CgScents3 ай бұрын
Yeah. It’s first on my list of things to sell if I decide I want something for my collection because of performance. I just never reach for it. It smells so good and represents an iconic Amouage fragrance but that doesn’t mean as much if I never wear it.

I bought a new bottle just last week with the hope that I won't be disappointed, but it wasn't like that, after 6 puffs it barely lasted 4 hours :((. But Jubilation XXV 12 years ago was my first niche perfume which was a beast 2 maximum 3 puffs was more than enough. You made a very good video!! Keep it up, good luck.

I love this fragrance but I agree it doesn’t last and that’s because I had an older batch decant.

So I did an experiment on jubilation 25, if I spray this in the house or closed off areas it does not perform, but one day I sprayed it about 3 hours a buddy of mine came over. I met him outside and at the time it was about 80 or so degrees. We were standing about 2-3 feet apart. After about 20 min he said “bro what tf is that you wearing” lol I told him, he literally lost it, told me it was one of the best fragrances he has smelled ever. This was after about 3 or so hours after spraying 2-3 sprays in the house. The heat apparently hit it and it exploded. So I don’t know what to tell everyone

That’s interesting I notice that I become way less nose blind if I spray and go out than stay home. I will roll my windows down if I can while driving and things perform a lot better. I haven’t actually tested XXV for nose blindness or wore it in the warmer weather I’m gonna try both.

I own Jubilation XXV, and love it, but confess to being HIGHLY disappointed. with its wimpy performance. Having finally gotten my hands on a decant of Jubilation 40, I can state without reservation that this is what XXV SHOULD have been. I plan on owning 40 at some point, but given its price it will have to wait. i would describe 40 as a masterful Middle Eastern chypre that reminds me of Nishane's HACIVAT. But you're absolutely right. the performance of Jubilation XXV is shit. I've gone through half of a 100ml. bottle in next to no time from having to constantly re-apply it. My recommendation to Amouage: get rid of XXV, and cut the price of 40 in half. Stores won't be able to keep it on the shelves, and you'll be the toast of the fragrance world.

Everyone says performance is just as bad on the 40

@@F68100 Sad, considering how good they are. Amouage got the job HALF-DONE, but expect FULLY-DONE prices. Pisses me off, but what can you do? XXV can be found for some pretty decent prices at places like Olfactory Factory, so I guess it's 'keep calm and carry on.'

This is such a poor performer now. Reformulated into a weak scent.
