Atkinsons 1990 EDT

F ££ Acquired

Jais

Atkinsons Jais is an Eau de Toilette launched in 1990. Jais opens with Redcurrant Leaf, Bergamot, Petitgrain, and Galbanum, settles into a heart of Hyacinth, Orange Blossom, Rose, and Jasmine, and dries down to a base of Musk, Cedar, Sandalwood, and Vetiver. Atkinsons's Jais carries an Acquired verdict, a woody-led wear.

This 90s gem is a divisive witchy brew. Some love its unique, complex character and nostalgic charm, while others find the strong fruity opening and potent animalics a bit much, labelling it "old lady" or simply "not everyone's cup of tea."

About

Jais opens with a potent, almost overwhelming burst of juicy plum and mango, sharpened by tart redcurrant leaf and the green bite of basil and galbanum. This fruity overture soon settles into a rich, complex heart of heady white florals like tuberose and hyacinth, interwoven with orange blossom and a touch of sweet raspberry. The dry down reveals its true depth: a dark, mysterious forest floor of oakmoss, vetiver, and smoky incense, grounded by warm sandalwood and creamy vanilla, with undeniable animalic undertones of civet and castoreum adding a primal edge.
