The story behind the bottle.
Launched in 2017 by Maison Jaxob, Dramatic Pause is a unisex Oriental Woody fragrance created by perfumer Jacob Chimoni. This composition begins with an aromatic and green opening that introduces a subtle camphor note, adding a refreshing yet slightly medicinal edge. The heart of the scent features iris, which brings a soft floral warmth, while earthy undertones and powdery accords create a sense of depth and complexity. The woody base anchors the fragrance with a grounding and comforting finish.
Apply one generous spritz to your pulse points. The aromatic top notes are fleeting but impactful, so allow them to transition into the heart before layering again if needed. This fragrance works best in cooler weather when its woody warmth can fully envelop you.
