Jules 2016 for men

Mostly like crushed leaves and cut grass, sharp with a bitter edge. Underneath that, clean and airy, the smell of just-washed clothes and open windows.

It opens on galbanum and herbal notes, moves through cyclamen, hedione and black pepper, and settles on fir, leather and cedar.

• galbanum: intensely green resin, bitter and sappy, like a snapped plant stem
• cyclamen: a fresh, watery green floral. The real flower has almost no scent, so this is a perfumer's construction

It lasts well and carries into a room.

Built from the note listing and the measured performance figures. We have not smelled this one.
