About This Perfume
Think Spiced leather book, oud smoke in amber: that is Jul et Mad Paris Mon Seul Desir. It opens with nutmeg, pink pepper and mandarin orange, moves into osmanthus, Oud and coriander and settles on amber, leathery notes and benzoin. It reads unisex.
It is best in spring, fall and winter and is an evening scent. Reach for it for nights out. Released in 2017.
In the community's experience it lasts through a full day, and projects strongly and fills a room. Wearers suggest letting a new bottle rest for a couple of weeks; it tends to smooth out.
Is it right for you?
- Best for: anyone after something woody and grounded for nights out.
- Sample first if: you prefer quiet scents; it projects.
- Skip if: you dislike leathery fragrances.
Around $150.
