About Jules
"Le Jules" which colloquially stands for man, guy, gallant, gatterich, pimp and piss pot...finally ne bridge, which leads "stante pede" to the topic. The urine note in perfumes that gives a real fragrance the necessary drive provided you were born before the 2000s and have no problem with enduring the acrid, ammonia-like scent that creeps up your nose when you micturate in a urinal at the Gare du Nord in Paris and that (for those who don't like it) clears your upper respiratory tract for at least 23 minutes. Slowly - this applies at best to the vintage version, which one gets only at absurd moon prices on the Internet...
How Jules said Lude from the Bois de Boulogne smells best convey the illustrations of René Gruau an Italian-born fashion illustrator, who designed the campaign for Dior in the 80s and which still come across timelessly casual...

A smoky, green, bitter, clean fragrance that opens with sharp herbs and lots of greenery, which is the main character of the fragrance. The *sage and cumin (not everyone's cup of tea) play no insignificant role here and give the fragrance a very unique and special verve and leather, well of course leather. Leather for the lad who, after an hour-long AndyBorg memorial television marathon, first takes a seat with Choupette (the ex-fiancée of Karl L. ) and a bottle of pastis on the patinated Louis-seize sofa to get the images of *AndyBorg out of his head, as he swings in a yellow bikini at a height of 10 meters above the excited, red faces of the fanboys and -girls beyond 60 and shouts around without need. Slightly exaggerated ...
So. Jules is also in the successful reformulation similarly iconic as Macassar, Ébène or Aigners Silver.
In the Souk gibts still a Vintage After Shave of Oscar de la renta. Why does no one actually want that...

*has nothing to do with Björn Borg

@!The sage is interestingly not in the pyramid but is also present as in the Saltim Bocca

A fragrant dream for the man
With Jules, even the adolescent young man feels like a man who should actually only wear this fragrance when he is mature. Oak moss and leather come through well after only a few minutes and mate excellently with a touch of oriental, which is represented by cumin. Even then, a fragrance that was far ahead of its time and fits perfectly into the present day, where orientals are increasingly finding their way into our fragrance cabinets. However, from my point of view it is much more noble and soft, so that violet and jasmine come into their own. All around an all-rounder that is still looking for its equal. Whether suit or leather jacket. Jules always leaves.

A universe in itself--or the end of relativity?
If I'm to express it powerfully, a blatant scent. Not only in terms of its shelf life and endurance, but also because of its comprehensive ingredient richness.
From the lightness of bergamot, the ethereality of lavender and the spiciness of Mediterranean herbs, to finely aromatic flowers and a creaminess of mosses and woods, underpinned with warm amber.
This can be compared to a "universe" in which there are stars, moons, planets, quasars, black holes and much more. And everything influences everything in many ways. And yet there seems to be a kind of harmony in which every "cosmic manifestation" has its justification.
It can be the same with scents. As complex and multi-layered as "Jules" is, each fragrance influences each other and yet everything forms a whole.
But there is hardly anything "relative" here. Once the fragrance has gripped someone, it's all over.
And if someone perceives the perfume as "unwearable" with his / her nose, then probably also without alternative. "Jules" is a divorce. I had sprayed it on on Saturday once and heard from my fellow men expressions of "impossible"... in between almost nothing... or "class scent".
Why would something like that happen? Love OR hate? And in between? I don't know, I don't know, I don't know, I don't know. But in this "scent universe" the law of relativity was probably disproved or even abolished........?

Repaired at the copy shop or: leather jacket from the herbal bath
Jules was my first experience with the heavy guns of the 80s. I was often overwhelmed and then surprised that I had got my 5ml empty. At times it reminded me of a litter box (dusty, animal), sometimes of bathroom cleaner (citrus too strong?). Fortunately that was years ago. Now, with a few years more experience, I can finally leave a worthy comment
Jules is atypical and quasi a fougère. The start (fresh and herbaceous) is dominated by lavender and bergamot with tarragon, quickly followed by the accompaniment of cumin, basil and violets. As the hours went by, the carnation strengthened, jasmine showed up in some tests. Oakmoss becomes recognizable, leather shows up strongly next to the carnation and lavender, while in the background it still cares, basil and tarragon. Sillage and durability are not disappointing. At times it can be too much, so strong all the notes so long.... but mostly it is just right.

I only came to the comment here because Azzaro pour Homme reminds me very much of him. Lavender with citrus, some herbs/spices, later moss and leather. I find this one much more interesting, more changeable.

So, Jules.. Fougère, more flowery, leathery, with herb dressing.
Strong, striking, persistent.
For men, not for males.

The sum of all particles
Have the fragrance the last few days tested intensively and also read the reviews here on the site every now and then.
Many have really hit it very well in terms of craftsmanship. And when I look for all the notes mentioned, I find them too. The lavender and caraway in the opening, the ubiquitous moss and musk brew, tart herbs, tingling spices, clean soap, warm woods, edgy leather...

But what makes Jules for me are not its individual components, but the sum of its particles. The interplay of all these characterful fragrance notes that he combines.

To perceive its individual parts is interesting and it gives pleasure to sniff it again and again to discover during its course again and again a new note.

But what excites me is its overall appearance.
He just smells good.
Very even.

His distinctive character combines, as with the Dior Fahrenheit, which I hold in high esteem, elegant-beautiful and strikingly rugged notes.
There is this base of pithy, almost animalic notes that roar loudly, sharpen their claws, intimidate and want to dominate.
But in a quieter but no less weighty voice, it is brought into harmony and balance by sensual floral and clean soapy notes.

It reminds me of the 1881 Cerruti in terms of style, although incomparably more noble, refined and full of character. And at the same time it reminds me of the Fahrenheit of Dior, even if that smells completely different. But it is precisely this unique and harmonious interplay of opposites that are irreconcilable on paper that makes Fahrenheit for me.

The two fragrances are like life. All the little individual parts, all the contrasts and the interplay of these that make up the great whole - make it only interesting and worth living.
Difficult to put into words, a little whimsical and in any case remarkable.

The artificially-short-lived zeitgeist he can perhaps no longer elicit praise. Perhaps he even seems a bit offensive, if his dominant scent mark the endeavored friendly scent image of the streets through.
But that does not bother him.
For he does not fear the ticking of time.
He has yet recognized a timeless classic for eternity to be.

Referring to the 2016 re-release. Animalic doesn't always mean fecal and or urine, in this scent it means leather.

Bitter, acrid, acidic, heavily animalic, difficult to get or appreciate. The original formulation had very beautiful floral basenotes.

An aromatic fougère in style with PR pour homme (same nose) but with far more clary sage and cedar. More dirty! I like PR a bit more. 3/5
