Lubin Black Jade is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2011. Black Jade opens with Bergamot, Cardamom, and Galbanum, settles into a heart of Rose, Jasmine, Cinnamon, and Incense, and dries down to a base of Amber, Sandalwood, Patchouli, and Vanilla. Lubin's Black Jade carries a Statement verdict, a sweet-led wear.

Divisive yet undeniably compelling, Black Jade is a love-it-or-hate-it affair. For some, it's a classy, sensual journey through time; for others, it's an 'old-fashioned' headache. If you're after a warm, spiced rose with a vintage edge, it’s worth a sniff, but sample first.

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

Black Jade opens with a bright, spicy kick of bergamot and cardamom, quickly softened by a delicate, slightly green galbanum. The heart blossoms into a warm, spiced rose, intertwined with exotic cinnamon and a wisp of smoky incense, grounded by soft jasmine. The dry down is a cozy embrace of rich amber, creamy vanilla, and tonka, with earthy patchouli and smooth sandalwood adding depth and sophistication.
