Jules

by Jean Martel

Dior Jules is an Eau de Toilette launched in 1980, created by Jean Martel. Jules opens with Lavender, Caraway, Artemisia, and Bergamot, settles into a heart of Rose, Basil, Jasmine, and Cyclamen, and dries down to a base of Leather, Fir Resin, Oakmoss, and Musk. Dior's Jules carries an Acquired verdict, a aromatic-led wear.

A legendary, unapologetically 80s powerhouse, Jules is a love-it-or-hate-it scent that screams 'manly' and 'classy vintage'. It's bold, complex, and some reckon current versions don't do the original justice, but it's still Dior at its best.

About

Jules opens with a sharp, vibrant aromatic blend of caraway, artemisia, and lavender, underpinned by a fresh bergamot lift. This quickly gives way to a complex heart where earthy basil, spicy carnation, and delicate florals like rose, jasmine, and cyclamen mingle between warm cedar and sandalwood. The drydown settles into a rich, deep foundation of old-school leather, resinous fir, and potent oakmoss, softened by musk, amber, and a hint of tonka bean, delivering a truly unique, dirty-green depth.
