Comment: Parfum extrait review
Rubj is a syrupy, rich and unbridled fruity-floral, with a berry fruitiness permeating a composite of neroli, orange blossom, tuberose, jasmine and animalic musks. However, with a subdued wax note that occasionally rears its ugly head, one is unable to get terribly excited about it.
Harbouring a touch of civet in the base notes, it bestows an indolic quality to the florals while the composition's prominent sweetness continues unabated. Of course, it's very well-composed, easy to wear and highly likely to receive praise from fans of this genre but, for a parfum extrait, one feels that the price is unwarranted.
With an overtly feminine demeanour, it's the least preferred release by Vero Kern but that doesn't mean it's any less worthy. Plus, in contrast to Onda and Kiki, Rubj's projection and longevity are a lot more satisfying.
