Going out strong today thanks to @Steve Louis and bringing it to PT, Bloodwork, the store then my kitchen and tv. He said start with one spray and I did and maybe it’s my warped sense of smell but I’m loving this. I get the earthiness out the gate followed by the musk. To quote Ron Burgundy, “it stings the nostrils in a good way.” A fragrance for the confident and uncompromised, Complex is a blend of resins, incense and sensuous musk. Earthy and sensuous, it is filed with herbal notes of basil and sage, which give away to raw leather and animalistic notes. It is unusual and different – violet, incense – all this contribute to this sexy perfume.

NYE and we're going to a large dinner party...🙄 Anyway, just based on the name alone, it seems obvious that since we're saying good-bye to 2025, that Jubilation XXV is the logical selection. Though I really love this frag, I RARELY reach for it, but one quick spray on my wrist and I remember it very well. This is a great frag with a very eastern/oriental spiciness to it, along with floral and citrus notes. This is a complex frag, yet by my estimation it can be considered somewhat of a crowd-pleaser. That being said, it's NOT blind-buy safe. It starts off a bit fruity with blackberry and orange, but you can't really miss that frankincense, so it’s also dark and rich. The mid has honey but I wouldn't call it goumandy at all. The base is oud and I understand that it's the real deal, but it's NOT a focus by any stretch, and ambroxan. This is nice and I should be reaching for it more than once or twice a year. 8.25/10.00
