Jubilant

#924 in my "Tour de Fragrance" Gotta say, paying $27 for a dupe of Amouage "Jubilation XXV" pretty much makes my day. This is a lot closer to the original than I was expecting. This is a moderate performer for me, but so was Jubilation XXV. I love the warm, soft incense scents like this that don't smell oriental or churchy, just spicy and complex. Lots of notes here to love. But it's not overwhelming. Will not offend or nauseate anyone. I let it sit for a couple of months so I didn't get the "alcohol blast" you can get from the clones if you don't. Car pool, elevator and small office safe. I think it's great for date night, but it's Saturday so we'll know soon enough. Regardless, I think it's very wearable and insanely inexpensive.

This is lighter take on the Amouage jubilation XXV. I think the berry note is even more prominent in this one. I really like the scent and that it is not as heavy as the OG. Unfortunately performance is not the great part of it, although it is not as bad as described below. Yesterday I was wearing it to a party and I could feel it on myself for the next 3-4 hours. Next day it was still pushing from the sweater. For the price in comparison to the OG it is still worth it, you can decant it and reapply during the day. Scent 9/10 - quality is not bad for the price Performance 6/10 - could be better Price: i paid 28$ for it vs. 200-300$ for OG. Overall 8.5/10 - Im still very happy with it even though it performs average.

This smells complex, slightly spicy, mature, and generally fantastic, as it should, being a clone of Jubilation XXV Man by Amouage. If you like Amouage fragrances, I would say this is blind-buy safe and an absolute bargain for the price. Regarding longevity and projection, it's probably somewhere between moderate and long/strong, depending on your skin type and whether you apply it to clothes or hair. I agree that this is office-safe, even in a small meeting room. I would say this is a sophisticated, elegant, mature, masculine fragrance, not a young sexy fragrance - so best suited for men over a certain age. It is generally easy to wear, I can't imagine anyone finding this offensive or too strong.

This Killer Oud line is ridiculous. 3rd one for me and 3 winners. I also have Overdose. However, it isn't in the database just yet. I haven't tried Jubilation XXV but if the notes here are correct, I think the only difference is Tarragon and Davana. I doubt that makes a huge difference. From the prior comments, it seems that this lines up almost exactly. Fantastic scent. I have tried it about 3 times so far and I get about 4 hours in change. I am keeping my fingers crossed that it gets better over time. Still a winner regardless. For $30 this is a knockout profile. You should try it. If you don't like it, someone you know will. Again, fantastic.

Libraries are places you can go to borrow books. Over time, dust collects and the books and their pages give off a musty scent similar to pencil shavings but a bit more dull. Jubilant takes me to the library, opens an old book and is so comforting. Incense, amber, cardamom, and woods in beautiful balance. I love it. I find it doesn't change over the time I wear it. I can smell it on my clothes for the day and a scent bubble lasts 3 or 4 hours in cool weather. Paris corner makes beautifully blended scents for intimate occasions.

Honestly the best right out of the box clone. Very legibly JXXV DNA albeit not as plush or rich, no surprise. But comparing it with the original, the clone actually lasts quite a bit longer than the original, which always had longevity problems. Overall, highly reccomended and worth hunting down soon if you like the OG. This stuff is disappearing and very few other clones exist.

I have a 5ml decant of Amouage Jubilation 25 and I love ❤️ it. It’s such a beautiful fragrance. This one may not be a 1:1 dupe of the OG but almost there and honestly I like this one better because of its affordability ... as far as quality, performance, projection and price point, this one is a banger if you like the OG. Try before you buy 😉 10/10 🏆 🙌

I've had this one for over a year, and in the beginning, the scent didn't last more than an hour or two, and performance was pretty subpar. After a year, I would say this holds up with Jubilation 25 in longevity and silliage. This comes close enough to the OG that I don't feel compelled to go purchase a full bottle of the OG. 8.5 out of 10.

Very good Jubilation man clone, smells rich and complex, quite spicy but is versatile to wear to the office but also on a night out. Quite a mature fragrance and it performs really well on me, bordering on beast mode

Having bought this for freakin 30€ its bargain, smell way more expensive, if i smelled this on you and not knowing what is it, i would have thought that you are wearing 150€ fragrance

Damn that shit is so close that makes it weird consider the price gap between both of them, like it's like 90 percent close to the real thing and I own both and also the 40

I already own Jubilation and was looking for a cheaper alternative that I could use everyday without worrying about the price. Found this one and I have to say it's a pretty solid dupe. Not an exact clone as Jojo mentioned below but close enough. The opening is closer than the dry down. Obviously it's more synthetic and lacks depth compared side to side with the original but still decent. Jubilation keeps evolving over time while this one is quite linear. It is sweet, fruity, smoky and woody at the same time - nothing to hate here for sure. On my skin it doesn't project much and longevity is not great but it's the same case with the original for me. Or maybe I just go nose blind to both really quick. I wouldn't necessarily say it's a safe blind buy. Some people will say it's a typical old man fragrance, some people will say it smells great. Showed this to my dad and he enjoyed it for a couple of first hours but then it gave him a headache. After several hours you can really smell the synthetic base which is quite typical typical to this kind of perfumes. If you own any of cheap clones, you probably know exactly what I mean. I can see it being sold for around 35-40 eur and I would say it's a good price. Got mine for ~25 eur so I am very happy with the purchase. It does exactly the job I bought it for - I can use it every day and save Jubilation for special occasions.

Paris Corner Killer Oud Jubilant Opens up with quite the alcohol blast, which disappears after 10 or so minutes. It follows with the sweet fruity top notes with that frankincense. After it dries down, the many individual notes are hard to distinguish from one another, apart from the very obvious Myrrh and Frankincense notes. When it comes to projection, I feel like this is similar to current Jubilation XXV batches wherein reviews state that it doesn't scream but instead reminds you every now and then that you're wearing this beautiful fragrance. I sprayed about 12 sprays and after 30 minutes a friend of mine came to pick me up and whilst initially told me I smelled great, he was choked out and had to roll the windows down. I thought the fragrance was fleeting at that time, which means this DNA probably makes the wearer anosmic to it. I can say this lasts on my skin for a solid 6-7 hours before settling down into a skin scent. On clothing, it lasts way more at about 12 hours. It's cheap, so just reapply should you need to. Definitely a mature fragrance, for those looking to wear a classic yet elegant Chypre. Jubilant really smells like Jubilation XXV, or at least my recollection from when I smelled it at a boutique.

There are ton of notes defined for this scent. It definitely leans more on the amber, musk, cedar & patchouli. It's leans sweet and I don't get much spice if any at all. It has good depth & complexity. It's a very safe scent. Not offensive at all. Very mature and gentlemanly (not for under 30). Arm length projection that lasts no more than 6 hours. Wear it to the office, to the gym, to a formal event. Very safe blind buy. For $30 delivered, it's well worth it. Can be worn every day.

Just got 5ml sample of this fragrance Now, I never smell the real Amouage Jubilation XXV so take my impression with a grain of salt. For me, this fragrance somehow reminds me of Tom Ford Black Orchid, but without the chocolate truffle & white floral note. Almost as like you take the base note of Black Orchid, made it fresher, more masculine, and add middle eastern twist to it.

Excellent clone of Jubilation 25. Opening is a little heavy Middle Eastern. After about 1h that's when the fragrance opens up to something very close to Amouage Jubilation 25. Resinous, ambery, fruity, spicy scent. Quality is extremely good for such a low price. It's not a dna that pleases everyone, but a must try if you want something unique in your collection.

As a potential clone of Amouage Jubilation, and owning Cabana & Sunrise Killer which are really good clones of Amouage, I was expecting big things. Alas, I have to agree with @jaf below. Very pleasant and stays on my skin for a few hours but little in the way of projection. I have tried a sample of Jubilation 25 and this one comes no where close.

A fair representation of Jubilation XXV though not an exact clone at all. Safe blind buy purchase. The fragrance is blended very well and comes off sweet with hints of florals and woods. For the price it is a winner.. Enjoy!

I don't own Jubilation, but I know for sure that this smells like beef-ed up version of Chanel Egoiste. Not for the faint of heart and please don't ever overspray this fragrance, because it will turn into a nasty dried saliva bomb like Chanel Egoiste. Some people (a.k.a me) may find it polarizing. And again, same with the Chanel Egoiste, this smells good when it's lingering in the air, but totally smells like something else when it's on skin or fabric. It may work in a four seasons country, but struggling to find its place in equatorial areas. This fragrance is more like an acquired taste than love at the first sniff. Not saying it's a hard to love fragrance, but you have to give it some time.

Smell is nice, performance is not. Funny to read that after one hour it is very similar to the original. On my skin it performs 20 minutes, so probably it starts to perform in other dimensions, or under the skin. I can't check this

Fails to capture the quality and scent profile accurately, had the performance of jubilation 25 been better I might have picked that up instead.

Killer Oud Jubilant is as near to Amouage Jubilation Man XXV as one can get. I've tried all of the clones and this has turned out to be my daily driver... Considering that it can be had for one third the price of the original, you just can't go wrong in buying it. Of course like any fragrance, you'll have your people who LOVE it and the folks who hate it... I happen to be in the first camp. It's true that any one of the dupes and the original will only appeal to certain demographics... Unless someone that's say under 30 has pretty sophisticated tastes. The Killer Oud JUBILANT lacks a little of the black current (damn auto correct keeps "correcting") that the Amouage Jubilation has, and I wish it was stronger here... But as a whole, the composition of the Killer Oud Jubilant is incredibly close. I was given a bottle of the original a few years ago and after I sprayed like a fiend for months and ran out, I was shocked to find out the price of fragrance... So naturally I started poking around for a good clone. It turns out that the Dua Brand and Alexandria Fragrances make a couple really good ones... And I have those also. But if you're the type of person who loves to overspray (Guilty as charged!), I think the thing to do would be to layer one of the other two on top of this. BOTH seem to have a bit more longevity about them, maybe a little more projection... But neither duplicate the smell of the original like the Killer Oud Jubilant does. There is also a "cheap" version from Mooj called Jubilee XXV, which at one time could be had from certain discount clothing outlets for around $15... I have a few bottles of that, which I keep in the cars for "touch ups". But the price of the "cheap" copy has gone to almost nosebleed prices... Why? I'll never know because the juice just isn't the quality of any of the clones mentioned before. So... If Jubilation Man XXV is your "thing", I can heartily recommend that you consider getting yourself a bottle of the Killer Oud Jubilant... And YES, it really does "macerate" incredibly well. As soon as I receive a new bottle, I open the package, shake the living daylights out of it and then spray at least 15 shots on the clothing hanging in my closet. I then return the bottle to it's beautiful presentation box and put that in the back of my collection in the cabinet. I'd say that the Jubilant takes about six months to mature fully, but after that time it's longevity stretches to a good eight hours in skin and DAYS on clothing. Right out of the box, it's projection and longevity seem pretty weak... If course this could be the result of going Anosmic because the fragrance is so unique and our receptors aren't normally used to decoding these certain smells... But I'm positive that letting the perfume "marry" at least for a month truly does help it. Six months REALLY helps it. And for around fifty bucks, I'm certain that you can't go wrong. I hope this helps anyone who's on the fence about it... I didn't include the usual breakdown of notes and the opening, mid and final dry down stuff because Jubilant is so incredibly close to the XXV and anyone who's interested in a dupe has certainly read that stuff already. Cheers! .

Edit: I’m picking up even more complexity. Beyond the incense, there’s a soft, sweet smokiness that’s enhanced by a honeyed undertone and delicate floral notes, adding depth without overpowering. The frankincense has a smooth, almost velvety sweetness, blending beautifully with the subtle spice and floral ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Purchased before summer and let it sit back for about three months. I have never smelt Jubilation do cannot pronounce on how close Jubilant is to it. What I can say is that Jubilant is a complex incense centered fragrance with a nice set of floral and spicy accords. I actually like very the Frankincense sweetened note in Jubilant because it is unobtrusive. This is a fragrance that will likely pull compliments because of its tamed performance and pleasant, yet complex allure. It is also addressed to a wide audience, though not for the youngest wearer. Good for formal and informal wearing. On fabric the staying power is about 4-5 hours with mild projection. On skin I suppose longevity is about 2-3 hours. Not enough to get to lunch time, if worn at the office, unfortunately. A bargain at 21€ :) I'll buy a back-up bottle before it gets hyped or reformulated... my 0,02€

First spray I've been disappointed. Beautiful , Amazing scent but last 15 minutes. But as @Slick Andrew said I sprayed 15 times and left it in the box. I was thinking to wait 6 months but I couldn't 🤣 After 30 days tried again. Sprayed once in my forearm and another one on my shirt. After 12 hours still can smell it. Can't believe it. I can't wait how it's gonna smell after another 5. Great job @Slick Andrew. Never believed maceration etc. But it works. Easter Europe fragrances need a time 👍👍👍

An incense balsamic.... berry! This is a beautiful perfume for men or women I'd say. Unfortunately Killer Oud don't make feminine Amouage scent copies. Jubilant is quite linear, one of the differences between this and real thing, Amouage morphs and changes more. In the dry down they're same. You get lots of blackberries that are tart and zesty, mixed with warmth of balms.

I bought the whole Killer Oud collection last spring, to scratch my Amouage itch. And I ordered samples from many Amouage perfumes from Jovoy Paris. So I can tell you for certain that now that they have all macerated, I'm very impressed. Both quality, longevity and sillage are fantastic, tested side by side with the OG... Killer bargain!

Incredible scent so so good...but its not a beast...maybe i go nose blind but after a couple of hours its close to the skin...hopefully with time it gets better....but worth every cent it really is beautiful.

This is trash, if it's anything like the original , the original sucks balls also. Linear sour scent

Good and close to Amouage.. 90% on my skin get 6 hours ++ thx..

Decently priced Amouage Jubilation Man clone
