Jeroboma Unue, what a stellar release from the house! It is everything you want from a woody floral extract…
Let’s state the obvious, I am Samsara addict and when I heard first whispers of Unue being compared to the legend, I was very much intrigued. After initial testing two years ago I was swoon by the opening and midwear of Unue but the drydown made me want more darker kind sandalwood. I do get people comparison to the vintage Guerlain, they definitely belong to the same group of scents, but by no means they are the same thing.
Unue by Jeroboam is more musky, jasmine heavy, fleshy and sultry. Opening of it is very vibrant and fruity. Plummy jam with acidic hearts of pineapple and dash of spicy greenness from anise. All very distinct notes, all well blended. The heady note of jasmine and ylang-ylang in the mid is what locks me into the grip of wearing it non-stop. I can drench myself in Unue from dusk till dawn, weeks on end, forgetting other scents exist in my collection. So I always opted for samples rather than ordering the full size. Once gone, I moved on to my more-less regular rotation.
Now thanks to the wonderful team at Jovoy I have a latest 100ml size of Unue and I am seriously concerned for my collection being vaulted for the time being. At least for the sunny fall days ahead. If you enjoy heady white florals and woody semi-sweet fragrances, Unue is a must-try.
