The story behind the bottle.
Launched in 2016 by Jusbox and crafted by Antoine Lie, Use Abuse is an Oriental Floral fragrance that balances bright citrus with rich florals and musky warmth. The composition opens with mandarin orange and tuberose, creating a vibrant yet complex top accord that transitions into the heart of jasmine sambac and peony, adding depth and sweetness. The base notes of incense, musk, opoponax, and sandalwood bring an earthy and sensual finish to the fragrance.
Two sprays are sufficient to capture the full range of Use Abuse's notes. Given its moderate longevity and sillage, it works best during cooler months or for indoor settings where its warmth can be fully appreciated.
