Olivier Durbano Jade is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2008. Jade opens with Anise, Cardamom, Mint, and Tea, settles into a heart of Cassia, Jasmine, and Iris, and dries down to a base of Immortelle, Holly, Musk, and Amber. Olivier Durbano's Jade carries an Acquired verdict, a green-led wear.

This one's a bit of a mixed bag; some find it a mysterious, zen-like masterpiece, others a medicinal, herby cleaning product. It's unique, that's for sure, and definitely not for a blind buy.

Scent Profile

Composition

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.

Declarable allergens

We derive these from the materials behind this fragrance's notes, not from the bottle. Each one is likely, not confirmed. The list is partial - the box can name others.

In standard patch-test panels

  • Oakmoss Evernia prunastri extract from Oakmoss

Other declarable allergens

The large name is the everyday one. The small name is the INCI form on the box, so you can compare the two. Reactions differ between people. A patch-test panel is not a ranking of risk. How we derive this

About

Jade opens with an invigorating blast of mint and anise, softened by the subtle spice of cardamom and fresh tea. As it settles, a heart of green cassia and delicate jasmine emerges, underpinned by powdery iris. The dry down is a grounding blend of vetiver, patchouli, and oakmoss, with a hint of warm amber and musky immortelle, conjuring images of damp earth and ancient forests.
