Golden Serenade

I am completely entranced and smitten with this beautiful fragrance! The clove and amber are the notes my skin pull the most and the way they dance together is so stunning! I got a sample set from this house and I appreciated many of the fragrances but this is the one that captured my heart. I am not always a fan of patchouli on me as my skin tends to amp the note up and drown out any other notes. In this fragrance the patchouli is done just right and adds to the mystic this fragrance conveys! I believe this fragrance is perfectly unisex and as a woman, the scent makes me feel dark, mysterious and powerful. This fragrance and House deserves so much more hype! Music is the biggest part of my family’s life. I live in a loud, chaotic and wonderful home full of musicians! The Jusbox House theme and mission really speak to me, to give music a fragrance and to pay tribute to Musicians who have changed music and culture throughout the years. I really encourage anyone who feels intrigued by this whimsical fragrance house to give them a try! They offer some great sample sets and the quality of these scents are really there!

The initial spray is a burst of not-too-sweet cinnamon candies, then smoky but tame vanilla slides in. In the dry-down, oud in the disguise of dry wood waltzes into the fray, supporting the raucous first act, and lending its stability. I'm not getting patchouli, as it's so expertly blended with the amber and opponax that the incensy resins all become one long, smooth landing. Very spicy. Very fall / wintry. Very cozy. Sophisticated and dressed up enough for a jazz club. Yet also playful and dressed-down enough for pumpkin picking and farmers markets. Definitely a go-to for gloomy days at home with tea, books, and blankets.

This is so good: warm, sexy and addictive. Starts quite spicy and then gradually dries down to a really warm, woody, ambery base. There’s definitely oud but it’s warm and silky - not sharp or overpowering like middle eastern-style oud perfumes. The incense and patchouli give it a dark smoky character but again, it’s balanced so well that they’re not harsh (that being said, I wouldn’t get this if you don’t like patchouli). The amber and vanilla round it out and keep the whole perfume really warm. Good sillage, great for a night out.

Wow 😍one of the best oud perfumes out there. Perfectly blended without any harsh edges. I'm surprised why it got under 4 score here its easily over 4. I'm seeing it in the same class as xerjoffs oud collection. Perfectly blended, oud, Safran, vanilla and incens ! They are amazingly stay together👌 from the beginning to the dry down.at the end the whole blend smells like a real oud. Dammmn this is g👀d! This juice is the real one! You get for what you pay.

Yet more opulent, modern, strangeness from this perfumer. Golden Seranade is somewhat in the mould of Rasquinet's recently notable releases like the Moon or that one for Histoires (I forget the name) and another one I've forgotten the name of...(not doing very well am I? Anywho...They have this unusual, plastic saffron, into smokey, boozy, oud vibes all at the same time. Complex, resinous, woody scents. This one is a little more accessible though and much more on the warmly spiced, boozy side of the street. I thought it was very nice and definitely evocative of the kind of Glenn Miller, smokey, romantic, early 20th Century for whatever reason. I really enjoyed it.
