Jubilation Xxv Man

Jubilation XXV Man by Amouage

Released in 2007 to celebrate Amouage’s 25th anniversary and crafted by legendary perfumer Bertrand Duchaufour, Jubilation XXV Man is widely considered one of the greatest masculine fragrances of the 21st century. A rich, honeyed, incense-laden composition that captures everything Amouage stands for — opulence without vulgarity, tradition meets modernity, Arabian heritage refined by French perfumery technique.

Amouage Jubilation XXV retails for around €290 at official retailers. Our interpretation captures the same celebratory signature at €49 for a full 50ml of long-lasting Eau de Parfum.

The Story Behind the Scent

Bertrand Duchaufour is one of the most respected perfumers in modern niche perfumery, known for his complex, narrative-driven compositions. For Amouage’s 25th anniversary (XXV in Roman numerals), he was given an extraordinary brief: create the masculine fragrance that would define the brand’s legacy. The result was Jubilation XXV — a layered, baroque masterpiece that fragrance critics consistently rank among the all-time greats.

How It Smells

The opening is immediately distinctive — blackberry, tarragon, davana, and labdanum create an unusual, almost boozy-fruity introduction that’s nothing like typical designer cologne openings. Bergamot brightens it, but the depth is there from the start.

The heart blooms with the soul of the fragrance — warm honey, frankincense, and myrrh layered with cinnamon, gardenia, and orchid create a complex, almost mystical mid-section. The dry-down is legendary: agarwood (oud), patchouli, vetiver, sandalwood, leather, and warm musks settle into a base that lingers on skin for hours with rich, dignified opulence. Honey-soaked, smoky, refined.

How Our Version Compares to the Original

We don’t claim this is identical — no dupe ever truly is. What we’ve built is a faithful interpretation of Jubilation XXV’s celebrated signature: the same blackberry-tarragon opening, the same honey-frankincense heart, the same warm oud-leather base. Where Amouage’s original retails for approximately €290, ours is €49 for the same 50ml format with up to 40% perfume oil concentration — typically 9 to 12 hours on skin, longer on fabric.

Who It’s For

Jubilation XXV is built for confident men who want something distinctly their own — refined, slightly unusual, deeply masculine. Autumn and winter at its most beautiful. Formal evenings, weddings, important occasions. Reads as well-read, well-traveled, deliberately chosen. Pairs naturally with tailored wool, leather, and other niche oriental fragrances.
