Jusbox No Rules was launched in 2018. Created by Antoine Lie, a somewhat polarizing fragrance and really should be sampled before buying. It is a leather fragrance with notes of saffron, aldehydes, vinyl, lavender, cinnamon, leather, birch and musk. Jusbox No Rules is an eau de parfum, edp.
From the brand/perfumer - "For No Rules, Antoine Lie played with an unusual leather scent that represents the creative and stimulating world of Punk; the metal chord recalls the massive use of safety pins and nails, very popular at the time. His melody plays the contrast between the ethereal and cold notes of Aldehydes, Ether and Vinyl and the warmth of Cinnamon and Leather."
Fragrantica - "Try it for yourself. Do not pay attention to the reviews. It’s very different maybe even odd but also a pleasant fragrance. Should test on skin or clothing not on tester strip. Sillage is very nice and intriguing. You will stand out in a good way imo."
Fragrantica - "As you can see, many have feebly tried to associate this unique fragrance with others, and have failed- because no other perfume smells like this. I can say that this odd scent is more for the collector; not the person looking to smell like everyone else. If you like pedestrian scents like Aventus, or Bleu de Chanel, your first line of order is to get off of Fragrantica, and rely on your local fragrance expert at Sephora or CVS- I'll let you decide. And so, I digress. The opening Saffron is short lived, but the vinyl, lavender and leather all interplay with one another to create this dance. Not a safe blind-buy, but fragrance wisdom shows us that no fragrance really is."
Fragrantica - "This is one of the notable ones from the house in my opinion, although not particularly "easy" or crowd pleasing per se. So many notes that you'd think are clashing, yet...they somehow work together to make an interesting scent. I wouldn't have thought that lavender, saffron, cinnamon and aldehydes would be necessarily a good match but there is something very nice about it. Almost ozonic zesty freshness, slightly plastic overall feel with wooden undertones. I think it would make a great summer scent (put aside the musical/punk references, to me they are only an unwanted interference in the presumed perception). It is weird in a way that at times it makes me think of a mosquito spray but somehow I still want to sniff more and more of it as it progresses. Certain soapiness emerges in the dry down.. Not necessarily bad, just something to keep in mind. Try if you can and if you love clean fresh scents but want something different from the usual citrus/musk /lavender category."
Fragrantica - "This smells like a granny who hasn't taken a bath in a few weeks. Maybe the lavender note reminds me of an old wardrobe... I can even smell some piss. Kind of suitable for a punk-inspired scent, though. "
Fragrantica - "Any record collectors out there who've used washing up liquid to clean a record? That's kind of what you get. A freshly washed vinyl record left on a metal draining board............. i don't know what to make of it at all. It's very accurate but I'm not sure whether that's good or bad. Punk is an odd thing to smell like I suppose."
