About
Jules by Dior is a Aromatic Green fragrance for men. Jules was launched in 1980. The nose behind this fragrance is Jean Martel. Top notes are Lavender, Artemisia, Caraway and Bergamot; middle notes are Carnation, Rose, Basil, Cedar, Cyclamen, Sandalwood and Jasmine; base notes are Oakmoss, Leather, Fir, Musk, Amber and Tonka Bean. Jules is game, smile, fantasy, charm. Jules is gentle, yet strong, determined. Jules is always free, always on the run, but manages to do it all. Jules on the vacation: you can see him everywhere. Jules at work: he isn’t obsessed with the boss image. Jules at night: the whole night belongs to him. Jules early in the morning: he dresses up, lights a cigarette and happily takes off, masculine and careless. These are the characteristics of Christian Dior’s fragrance. Before it appeared in 1980, Dior started a commercial campaign to prepare men for the new fragrance, provocatively named Jules. Jules is a name, yet at the same time it represents “the man, the seducer” – that’s what they called pimps back in the 19th century. The commercial campaign (the posters were made by the famous Rene Gruau) caused so much interest that, when it finally came out, it got sold out at the spot. The perfume is very masculine but elegant, with non-glaring but noticeable amber and notes of leather, flowers and aromatic herbs. It opens with Artemisia, lavender, cumin and bergamot. The heart is filled with jasmine, cyclamen, cedar, basil, rose and sandalwood. The base is composed of leather, Tonka bean, oakmoss, amber, suede and musk. The bottle is now different: transparent, elegant with a black stopper.

Which should I buy?
Jules is the community's favourite of the two.
- Jules is rated higher by the community: 4.34 from 504 ratings, against 4.13 from 1,745.
- Longevity votes for both lean "long lasting".
- Sillage votes lean "moderate" for Jazz versus "strong" for Jules.
- Jazz is voted best for spring and fall; Jules for fall and winter.
- Both houses are premium (typically $100–250), so price won't be the deciding factor.
Buy Jules if you want the higher-rated option; pick Jazz if its note profile reads closer to what you already love wearing.
