The year 2009 gave us Jabu Mona di Orio. By character, a unisex fragrance drawing from the east and floral families. Perfumer Mona di Orio poured every ounce of mastery into this one. Created within the Signature collection and available in eau de parfum.
Expect a moderate sillage — enough to be remembered, not enough to overwhelm. This fragrance doesn't rush to leave — you can count on high longevity. the Netherlands is where this fragrance comes from — and it shows. A rich, layered composition that reveals itself differently depending on your mood and the time of day.
The fragrance is highly persistent and lasts on the skin for up to 8–10 hours, gradually revealing its notes and allowing you to enjoy the full bouquet throughout the day
It can be felt in close proximity, but does not attract the attention of those around you
The perfume has a fresh scent that is not too intense, so it does not overwhelm those around you with strong essences
A rich and elegant fragrance that gently unfolds on the skin and lasts most of the day, leaving a delicate trail
Fragrances for spring and summer unfold with light citrus notes, floral and fruity accords, filling the composition with freshness, airiness, and a feeling of carefree lightness on warm days
The scent of Jabu unfolds as an expressive line of development, where layers reveal themselves smoothly and sequentially. The style of Mona di Orio is evident in the pacing of the notes and the overall aesthetic. Nothing here feels random, and the structure feels complete all the way through. Eau de parfum keeps a balanced rhythm of unfolding.
At the note-group layer the composition is built around Citrus, Whiteflower, Wood and Ambery. It also reaches into Fruit, Spicy, Gourmet and Floral. From a family perspective the fragrance belongs to East and Floral.
From the first breath you sense sparkling citrus opening notes: Orange, Petitgrain and ylang-ylang.
When the opening settles you detect Amyris, Guaiac wood and Vetiver carrying a spicy-woody direction. In the final layer the composition is fixed through Ambergris, Plum and Tonka bean, extending a dense amber trail.
The stylistic positioning is unisex, which sharpens how the fragrance is perceived. In longevity terms High indicates a stable lasting impression. In diffusion Middle defines the projection profile in space.
Overall Jabu holds a coherent structure — the start forms character, the heart develops the core line, while the drydown anchors the memory. These are the fragrances best experienced in wear.
