Jusbox Use Abuse is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2016. Use Abuse opens with Mandarin and Tuberose, settles into a heart of Jasmin Sambac, Peony, and Incense, and dries down to a base of Musk, Sandalwood, and Opoponax. Jusbox's Use Abuse carries a Statement verdict, a floral-led wear.

This one's a proper love-it-or-hate-it affair. For some, it's an elegantly weird tuberose dream; for others, it's a synthetic nightmare that belongs in a public loo. Definitely try before you buy.

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.

Its moderate longevity and sillage make it adaptable, though some find it too polarising for the office. It leans more casual or evening due to its distinctive, slightly unusual profile, and the strong florals might be too much for formal settings.

About

Use Abuse kicks off with a sharp, almost metallic mandarin, quickly giving way to a bold, unapologetic tuberose. It's a clean, bright white floral with a unique twist, thanks to the subtle but persistent hint of incense weaving through the heart. As it settles, a creamy sandalwood and musk emerge, softened by a touch of opoponax, grounding the initial floral zing.
