The story behind the bottle.
Launched in 1980 by Dior, Jules was crafted by Jean Martel as an aromatic green fragrance that embodies the brand's French elegance and sophistication. The composition opens with a fresh spicy blend of lavender, caraway, and artemisia, creating a sharp contrast against its woody base notes like cedar and sandalwood. These are complemented by earthy accords of oakmoss and leather, providing depth and warmth. Jules is neither overly sweet nor overpowering; instead, it maintains a balance between freshness and complexity.
Apply this fragrance to pulse points for optimal longevity. The aromatic top notes fade quickly, but the woody base lingers well into the day. For best results, use it during cooler hours when its complex layers can be fully appreciated.
