I've tried Feather Supreme and Suit of Lights and finally I think this company got a fragrance right. Their brand is that their fragrances are inspired by a genre of music along with a well known musician in that genre. This fragrance is inspired by Reggae music and Bob Marley. Finally, I can see the dots connecting because this is fresh take on those inspirations. This is a earthy, woody, spicy green fragrance. Those are a lot of adjectives but its what I feel. It smells like your hands after doing some, dirty and herbal. Its almost light enough to call it fresh and light, but a little too dirty to qualify. I was worried that the cannabis note would be too realistic, that I would go into work and get called into HR, but it isn't. Its realistic in a natural way spicy way.

Its $195 for 78ml, I think this would be perfect at a smaller size and price point, like 30 or 50ml. I will say I am disappointed by the longevity, it lasted maybe 4 hours on my skin but it did create a nice "scent bubble" around me.

This is a nice citrus opening with white florals. The orange opening is interesting but unfortunately it doesn't last very long and quickly moves into somewhat generic white florals with a weak dry down. There really isn't much to say about this fragrance, other than it feels like these perfume houses are not putting in any effort when it comes to their white floral fragrances. This doesn't inspire me in anyway. This doesn't stand out, doesn't really last long (it lasted about 3 hours on my skin), and doesn't have any projection. Its $45 for 10ml and $215 for 88ml. The 88ml definitely isn't worth it but maybe the 10ml is if you only kinda like white florals.

Jusbox perfumes are supposed to be inspired by famous musicians and genres of music. Suit of Lights is inspired by Pop music, specifically alluding to Michael Jackson, the King of Pop. The fragrance does not live up to the inspiration. I would even argue that its kinda an insult. Don't get me wrong, its a decent white floral with a light citrus opening. But that is it. There are hundreds of nice white florals out there. When I think of Michael (other than the controversies) I think bright colors, crazy dance moves, sparkle, loud, and child like personality. This doesn't stand out at all. Its pretty forgettable and kinda more on the mature side.

This fragrance is also pretty weak in both projection and longevity. It lasted on my skin maybe 3 hours but I could barely smell it after the first 30 minutes, even when I smelled close to my skin. This fragrance is also €340 for 78ml. That is nuts. There are plenty of good white floral fragrances for half the price and twice the volume.

This is not fresh, bright, or juicy fruit. This is dark, spice, and syrupy fruit with a hint of floral. This is the smell of having found an old rum bottle in the woods, covered in dirt. You get a little bit of grit every time you take a drag from the bottle. There is a natural sweetness that is found in those notes, but it doesn't feel like it was "sweetened". While there isn't a leather note listed, I smell something leathery in there. It lasted 6 hours on my skin and the projection is pretty strong. It looks to be about $135 for 30ml, its kinda pricey but if you love a dark dirty rum, then this is for you.

This fragrance was made in honor of Maya Njie's grandfather, Martin, and you can smell the love she had for him in the quality and blend of the notes. This is the deepest darkest leathery tobacco fragrance I've tried and I love it. When you watch a movie and the mysterious Ranger is smoking a pipe, this is what he is smoking, this is what he smells like. There is some warmth from the cinnamon and a strong woody dry down. It lasted all day on my skin, about 7 hours and the projection is pretty strong. This is more of a masculine leaning scent but if you like wearing a leather and want to feel powerful, this is a great fragrance to help finish the look. It is $148 for 50ml, which is pretty pricey but this isn't an everyday fragrance so I imagine this bottle would last a really long time if you decided to make the purchase.
