Ecstasy

I own this... Imagine something black, like black ink, mixed with berries and slowly a metallic shimmer, a veil of diamonds cascade with the blackness and berries in a overtly sexual manor and there you have this juice. Not like Jubilation XXV, more it's own thing, darker I would say, and a little more fixated on the darkness. I get 10+ hours from 2 sprays, it's pretty much beast mode with 4 hours of good projection.

Definitely another interesting work from the house of Dua, Ecstasy is purported to resemble Amouage Jubilation XXV, one of the Omani house's most revered men's entries (along the likes of Reflection and Interlude). I definitely don't regard myself much of a worshipper of Amouage Jubilation XXV, as many are, so I won't hold Ecstasy so some unusually high standard, but I can offer that Ecstasy is an interesting fragrance in its own right. The notes that stand out most to me are blackberry, resins/amber, and incense. Overall, I don't get the complexity that I do from Jubiliation XXV (which, granted, I've only worn a couple of times), and in that respect, Ecstasy can either be more or less appealing to you. I find it roughly as appealing as Jubiluation XXV. It's a pleasant mix that could prove very versatile--all-year, both genders, night/day, casual/formal. It's a bit of chameleon in that can blend into whatever situation works. I like it, but don't love it, so I'm not sure I'll ever opt for a bottle given the other great offerings this house seems to regularly add to its already-large catalog, but I'm happy to have tried it out. Jubilation XXV would likely find it inferior but it might nonetheless prove an interesting take on the concept, and an affordable (standard $45 for 30ml extrait) and good-performing (up to par with most Duas) one at that. 7 out of 10

Easily distinguishable from the regal aroma of Amouage Jubilation: similar performance perhaps, but a clear notch down in terms of quality. And this smells more of chocolate and oranges than oud. Ultimately, not too bad but you’ll likely smell more like a knave than a king. 6/10

It has the body of Jubilation but without all the lifelike berry. All I get is a truck load of incense, agar wood(oud) and resins. This version is not subtle and wears heavy like a beast without the projection. Without any context I'm not sure I would peg this as Jubilation but rather something else that has a good incense smoky vibe to it.

My friend purchased this . Smelled like garbage . Doesnt even come close to my real jubilation xxv . Left an oily mess all over my shirt and on my arm and wrist. Seriously what is this mess lol . These arnt fragrances.
