Jules (2016)

Jules (2016) is a reworked aromatic green masculine from Christian Dior, built around a stark galbanum opening cut with herbal notes. That top is bitter, sappy and unmistakably green rather than citrus-bright, so collectors should expect the vintage-style galbanum character rather than a modern fresh cologne. The heart shifts toward hedione, cyclamen and black pepper, giving a soft floral-radiant lift with a dry spicy edge before settling into fir, leather and cedar.

The drydown is where this one earns its keep: fir and cedar supply a cool, resinous woodiness while leather adds a subdued, slightly animalic weight. With green at the top of the accord list and fresh, woody and floral accords close behind, it reads as a cool, shadowed green scent rather than a sunny fougère. It suits collectors who like bitter galbanum, conifer woods and restrained leather, and works best in spring and autumn daytime wear, or as an office scent for someone bored of mainstream blue fragrances. Sample first if you dislike green bitterness.

Jules（2016）係 Dior 重新詮釋嘅芳香綠調男香，開場以白松香配草本，苦澀、帶樹脂感，唔係一般柑橘清爽路線。中調轉向 hedione、仙客來同黑胡椒，柔和花香之中帶乾辣感；基調以冷杉、皮革同雪松收尾，木質清冷，皮革低調而略帶動物感。整體綠調最突出，清新、木質與花香緊隨其後，氣質偏陰涼沉靜，唔屬於陽光型蕨香。適合鍾意苦綠、針葉木同內斂皮革嘅收藏者，春秋日間或辦公室場合最合用；若果怕綠色苦感，建議先試香。
