Juniper Sling Clones

"### Scent Breakdown Just Jack Juniper opens with a dominant juniper note, adequately mimicking the original's botanical profile, but with an initial sharpness verging on astringent alcohol. The orange is present, though less natural; think orange cleaning spray rather than freshly squeezed juice. The angelica contributes a slightly green, vegetal facet. The heart diverges significantly. Instead of a balanced spice blend, the pepper is overly assertive, almost acrid. The cardamom is muted, barely detectable beneath a prominent synthetic leather accord reminiscent of shoe polish. The drydown introduces a concerning note of artificial cherry flavoring, similar to children's medicine, that clashes jarringly with the vetiver. The sugar attempts to smooth the transition but ultimately contributes to a cloying sweetness. ### Projection Power Longevity is moderate, clocking in at around 5 hours on skin. Projection is initially strong, extending about one arm's length, before quickly settling into a skin scent after the first hour. I tested it in both an office setting and during an evening walk. It proved distracting and somewhat headache-inducing in the enclosed space of the office. ### The Verdict This fragrance is suited for an individual who enjoys bold, somewhat synthetic fragrances. Perhaps someone who frequents nightclubs and prefers loud, attention-grabbing scents over nuanced compositions. The cherry accord may appeal to younger demographics. Ultimately, the disjointed nature of the notes makes it difficult to recommend wholeheartedly."
