Jasper no Kodo II

Very lovely perfume, starts off kinda cloudy and murky in the sense all these different smells kinda blend together rather than there be one specific note stand out for example. As it dries it quickly develops this foggy yet sweet blackberry,while this blackberry exists it does not shout more just kinda sings along throughout the life of this perfume. maybe 2-3 hours after spraying it gains this lovely crisp fresh nature, it reminds me of the cooling effect from mint its very nice. After that maybe 4-5 hours in it settles into this woody, dry yet sweet scent which just tops it off. Just when you think youve wrapped your head around this scent, you are blasted by the most beautiful sweet mouth watering blackberry smell and it is just absolutely lush. This is incredible, astounding how non linear and thought provoking this scent is. Heavenly - Poison ivy is on the way which i cannot wait for and i will also review. Hoping to bag a bottle of maligne blue but im ultra broke currently

Testing jnk3 side by side with jnk2. Jnk3 on the opening is incredibly refreshing and minty compared to jnk2’s opening. A quite noticeable difference. Has a green Irish spring fresh feel. The balance of each ingredient especially the heavier notes like agarwoods, white florals, ambergris, and copal/palo santo seem more balanced into the composition when smelling next to jnk2. Jnk2 has a slight damp earthy smell probably due to the Papuan agarwood that is missing in jnk3. Jnk2 seemed like it was lacking some green facets like more pine and jnk3 adds green mountain thyme so the feeling of walking through a lush GREEN pine forest near a lake with wild berries growing near by is better captured in jnk3 in my opinion.

Yeah it’s fire try to imagine eating sour blackberry gummy candy in a enchanted forest cold a bit dirty weird thought it would be a fairly easy scent but it’s definitely unique

A fruity oud with forest undertones — sharp blackberry, dry oud, and a dense veil of vegetal oiliness. There's a soft floral presence too, but it stays blurred in the background. The opening hits with bold blackberry: tart, sweet, and unexpectedly intense. It’s wrapped in something that feels like thick, oily plant extract, giving it a sealed, almost chewing-gum-like texture. As that herbal heaviness lifts, the oud quickly takes center stage, pushing the fruit to the sidelines. It’s dry, airy oud with no leatheriness, reminiscent of light Hainan oud oil — woody, but clean and smooth. Beyond that, there are many hints of "something": — Floral tone, but hard to recognize. — Sweet woodiness, but not sandalwood. — A trace of musk or ambergris, perhaps, but faint and murky. The result is layered but slightly chaotic — lots of good materials stacked together without much precision in detail. The core structure relies mostly on blackberry, oud, and that mysterious green oil, with everything else forming a diffuse cloud around them. In the end, it feels like a forest themed fragrance, though neither blackberry nor oud are typical forest note — which creates a slightly surreal, disoriented impression. That said, it smells great: bold but breathable, and the quality of the oud especially stands out. A rare woody scent that feels clear and wearable even in summer.

The first JNK was an airy mountainous woody incense with pronounced berries and light florals hovering in the background. Since all releases from this brand are one batch editions, here is a second edition which is slightly different and offers a new vision on the original with a more heft in the notes. Most importantly, the amount of oud, ambergris and blackberries in this edition have been increased to create a unique feel with a distinct musky berry opening leading to a woody mossy incensy drydown. The masculine leaning scent has moderate to strong sillage and very good longevity. Recommended for lovers of unusual dense woody scents.
