By the editors · 2 min readJules 2016 opens with the assertive green of galbanum cut with dry herbal notes — an opening that declares itself as a masculine structure with roots in a certain era of perfumery. The heart softens slightly with cyclamen and the transparent hedione alongside black pepper's clean spice, giving the composition a more contemporary register without abandoning its character.
At the base, fir and cedar provide a resinous, slightly coniferous depth while leather grounds the whole. The 2016 version carries the classic Jules DNA — green-woody-leathery — reinterpreted with modern materials that read airier without losing the original's quiet authority. It suits those who find current masculines too simple.
