Jubilee Scents VE177 Black Jeans is an Eau de Parfum. VE177 Black Jeans opens with Lemon, Mandarin, Lavender, and Ginger, settles into a heart of Caraway, Rose, Jasmine, and Iris, and dries down to a base of Leather, Cedar, Vetiver, and Nutmeg. Jubilee Scents's VE177 Black Jeans carries a Statement verdict, a fresh-led wear.

This discontinued 90s Versace cult classic is genuinely hard to find today, and VE177 brings back its distinctive leather-floral character reasonably well, though the dupe's leather note lands a shade more rubbery than Versace's smoother original.

Timeline

Showing: Overall Blend

Top, heart and base are the brand's own listing, not a timing claim - the industry classifies a note by its character as much as by how fast it fades. Each curve here is modelled from that material's own volatility, so groups can overlap when a house lists long-lasting materials in its heart.

About

VE177 opens with a herbal, citrus-tinged blend of ginger, tarragon, lavender, lemon and mandarin, an unusually complex start for a budget dupe. A rose-geranium-carnation floral heart, softened with iris and jasmine, carries the middle before the composition lands on the leather-forward base that made the original Black Jeans a cult favourite among 90s Versace fans. Leather, vetiver, cedar and tonka bean give a warm, slightly rugged finish, though the leather here reads a touch more synthetic and rubbery than the smoother, suede-like leather in Versace's original blend, and the aromatic top notes fade faster than they should. It's a rare chance to experience the shape of a genuinely discontinued fragrance without hunting down an old bottle, and its floral-leather combination still stands out from most modern masculine releases. Best worn in cooler months where the leather base has room to shine.
