Amouage is an Omani fragrance house known for its luxury orientals built on precious ingredients and intricate compositions. The brand has established itself as a purveyor of high-end, artistic fragrances that prioritize quality over commercial appeal.

Jubilation 40 opens with black currant and blackberry layered over balsamic labdanum and earthy rosemary, creating an immediately warm and slightly smoky impression. The heart introduces spiced elements through cinnamon and cloves, balanced by herbal bay leaf and the resinous frankincense, while rose adds a refined thread throughout. The base is where the fragrance truly settles into its oriental character, with oud, ambergris, and myrrh providing depth, while guaiac wood, cedar, and patchouli create a woody, incense-laden foundation with subtle mossy undertones.

This is a fragrance for someone seeking a sophisticated oriental with genuine complexity and staying power. It works best in cooler months or evening wear, where its brooding character and rich base notes shine. If you gravitate toward fragrances with substantial olfactory presence and layered compositions, Jubilation 40 rewards close attention. You might also explore The Mystic, The Homesteader, and The Cipher.

Fragrance Notesbrand verified
Top · 0–30 min
Black Currant
Black Currant
Blackberry
Blackberry
Dark, juicy, and slightly tart with an earthy undertone that distinguishes it from lighter berries. Blackberry has a bittersweet depth that makes it more interesting than raspberry or strawberry in complex compositions. It adds a dark, jammy quality to rose-forward fragrances and woody orientals.
Davana
Davana
A curious and highly individual note from an Indian herb, davana has a fruity, slightly winey quality with honey-like sweetness and a faint medicinal edge. Unusually, davana smells different on different skin types, making it one of perfumery's most personalized notes. Used in oriental and woody fragrances for its warm, amber-like complexity.
Labdanum
Labdanum
A resin from the rock rose plant with a dark, animalic, honeyed quality that anchors many classic oriental fragrances. Labdanum is simultaneously leathery and sweet, with a raw complexity that synthetic materials struggle to match. It's a cornerstone of amber accords and chypre compositions.
Orange
Orange
Warm, round, and familiar, sweet orange is the most approachable of the citrus family. In perfumery it reads as sunlit and optimistic, with a gentle warmth that stops short of heaviness. Orange is frequently used to smooth and soften citrus openings, adding a natural sweetness that makes compositions feel immediately welcoming.
Rosemary
Rosemary
Herbal, camphorous, and slightly pine-like, rosemary is a Mediterranean herb with a clean, almost medicinal crispness. It adds freshness and a culinary familiarity to fragrances, grounding more abstract notes in something real. A pillar of classic fougère (fern) fragrances and modern herbal compositions.
Heart · 30 min – 3 hrs
Bay Leaf
Bay Leaf
Warm, herbal, and slightly medicinal, bay laurel has a spiced, slightly clove-like warmth alongside its green herbal quality. It was one of the first aromatics used by ancient civilizations and appears in the classic 'barbershop' masculine fragrance profile. Adds a confident, clean-shaven warmth to fresh and woody compositions.
Broom
Broom
The small yellow flowers of the broom plant have a distinctive sweet, slightly coconut-like, and intensely honey-floral character. Broom (genista) is one of the traditional raw materials of Grasse perfumery, with a warm, full-bodied sweetness and a slight animalic depth. It adds an old-fashioned, lavish richness to floral compositions.
Celery Seeds
Celery Seeds
Cinnamon
Cinnamon
Sweet, warm, and instantly comforting, cinnamon bark has a familiar warmth that slides easily into oriental and gourmand fragrances. Used sparingly it adds a pleasant warmth; used heavily it can dominate. It has a slightly sharp, peppery facet alongside its sweetness that keeps it from being purely foodie.
Cloves
Cloves
Frankincense
Frankincense
Smoky, resinous, and meditative, frankincense (olibanum) has been burned in religious ceremonies for millennia, and its scent carries that weight. It's simultaneously sharp and calming, with a slightly citrusy, pine-like quality that opens into warm, dry smoke. One of perfumery's most ancient and beautiful materials.
Rose
Rose
The queen of floral notes and the most-used ingredient in fine perfumery. Real rose is simultaneously velvety, honeyed, and slightly spicy, nothing like the synthetic candy version. Depending on the variety used, it can anchor a composition or drift through it like a ghost, adding warmth without dominating.
Base · 3–12 hrs
Agarwood (Oud)
Agarwood (Oud)
Ambergris
Ambergris
One of perfumery's most storied materials, a waxy substance produced by sperm whales with a uniquely salty, sweet, earthy quality. Real ambergris is nearly unobtainable; most perfumers use synthetic alternatives. It adds a marine warmth and incredible fixative quality, making fragrances smell more 'alive' and skin-like.
Cedar
Cedar
Cistus Incanus
Cistus Incanus
A variety of rock rose native to the Mediterranean with a lighter, slightly greener, and less dark character than standard labdanum-producing cistus. It has a fresh, herbal-resinous quality with a faint floral sweetness. Used to add a Mediterranean warmth and resinous character to compositions that want labdanum's depth without its full animalic intensity.
Guaiac Wood
Guaiac Wood
Smoky, slightly rosy, and dry, guaiac wood has a gentle, transparent smokiness that doesn't overwhelm. It's often used to add a campfire-distant quality to woody or oriental fragrances without going full leather or incense. One of perfumery's more understated and quietly beautiful materials.
Moss
Moss
Damp, green, and slightly bitter with a cool, shadowy quality, moss is nature's version of depth in perfumery. Oakmoss and tree moss both add a forest-floor complexity that anchors compositions in something real. Essential to classic chypre fragrances and the inspiration for countless green woody accords.
Musk
Musk
The base layer of almost every modern fragrance, a soft, warm, skin-like scent that extends longevity and bridges other notes together. Natural musk was once derived from deer (now banned); today's musks are synthetic and range from clean and soapy to dark and animalic. The right musk makes a fragrance smell like 'you.'
Myrrh
Myrrh
Deep, bittersweet, and slightly medicinal, myrrh is a resin with a complex, almost anise-like quality that sets it apart from frankincense. It adds a dark, almost sacred quality to oriental fragrances and is more challenging and assertive than its biblical companion. A note that rewards patience.
Opoponax
Opoponax
The 'sweet myrrh' of ancient perfumery, opoponax has a warm, balsamic, slightly vanilla-like quality that is softer and more approachable than regular myrrh. It has a honeyed sweetness with a faint herbal edge, creating a rich, complex base note. A pillar of classic oriental perfumery, it adds warmth and tenacity.
Patchouli
Patchouli
Dense, earthy, and darkly sweet, patchouli is the scent of damp soil and dried herbs with an almost chocolatey richness. It polarizes people because in high concentrations it's overwhelming, but as a supporting note it adds depth and longevity that almost nothing else can match. The backbone of countless oriental and chypre fragrances.
