I love this stuff!
If anyone had any, whether it be a decant or full bottle and is looking to swap it let me know. Thanks!

Jeke slams a shot of whiskey and blows cigar smoke in your face. Despite the off-putting top notes, I can’t help but like this bad boy a little bit…
It opens with a whallop of a whiskey note, then a dark, dry tobacco. It does remind me of the booze soaked tobacco, Bois d’Ombrie, but not as cold and carroty as Ombrie. There’s also a burnt maple leaf scent that reminds me of the slightly urinous, slightly burnt sugar thing going on in CB I Hate Perfume’s Burning Leaves. When I first tried this, I disliked it, but I’ve since fallen in love with tobacco notes. The tobacco here is well rounded but dark and unsweetened. It’s dry, with a mildly spicy top and a woody base. The labdanum adds a subtle leatheriness but Jeke is all about the tobacco and booze on me. I keep thinking of an alcoholic lumberjack. If Wolverine from X-men wore a scent, it would be Jeke.
I find it interesting to sniff, and I enjoy the tobacco note. It can be a bit hard to wear at times though – a very rough cut gem. Bit too masculine for me. Mild like.

First spray is strong but then it quickly fades on me, regardless the staying power and projection I really like this one, and too bad it is discontinued. oh well

Hello, is there somebody who could sell me his bottle of Jeke? At least with a bit of this my favourite perfume. Thanks.
Sharunova – :
I love it. This fragrance is eye-opening in its strangeness. I am located in the US and am interested in acquiring a bottle from someone who is less enamored.
af777 – :
OK – two scents in (Norne & Jeke) and it’s official: I am besotted with Slumberhouse perfumes. Extraordinarily rich, deep, complex, natural, characterful smells with real integrity and lasting power. And so delicious, too.
I read Jeke has been discontinued so wanted to smell it before never having the chance again. I’m so glad I did – for this is the fireside chat of your dreams – wood and spice and warm resins, mellowing into the very finest herbal cigar tobacco and with a final phase of utterly lovely drier spiced wood again, cedar and sandalwood and fir and I don’t know what else. The opening blast and first hour also feature a *powerful* reek of whisky – not usually my thing at all and I don’t really want to smell like a distillery – but it’s a fine single malt matured in the truest oak, not cheap rotgut, so I could live with it and even savour it after a while (teetotaller typing). This is what Don Draper would smell like early on in the evening, before things got too messy. Yet while it’s full of notes with a lot of masculine associations, this is so multi-faceted and skilled that it’s completely unisex IMHO – it just depends whether or not you love those notes as much as Jeke’s formulator(s) did.
Huge longevity, projection not immense, but this is strong stuff (and note for the user: it actually weakens in effect the more you apply – I had a minor dabber accident and emptied on more than I meant to on the second day of testing, and got less delicious Jekeiness than I had on the first with just the tiniest few drops). Less is definitely more with this.
It has a calmer, more indoorsy and reflective feel than the pagan warlord that is Norne, but this shares its rugged-woodsman DNA and its redolence of real nature. Jeke is Norne’s slightly more urbane, more controlled, more sophisticated big brother – a Viking who’s sailed around the Med, perhaps – but they’re recognisably from the same, stunningly talented, stable. Completely compelling.
darina belka – :
What I smell: Whiskey! Then comes a “Cade” smoke accord co-mingled with a leather (incense????—huh), more leather than suede, a bit of benzoin-bandaid (almost medicinal oudh), followed by the merest whiff of sweet fall leaves and the patch melding all of it together. Yes, I know those are not the “listed notes” but that is how the fragrance develops on me.
I find it quite good, very enjoyable, and different from most fragrances. I have Kiste and Norne and all three have the “stamp” of Slumberhouse on them, but Kiste and Norne are considerably sweeter than this, though all three are “boozy” (yeah!). Those I went FB on, but I hesitate on this one only because it skews a little too manly on me; I wear unisex perfumes; however, this travels a bit too far into the Whiskey-leather-cade territory for me to wear frequently. Silage and longevity are great, as usual with this brand (heaps of admiration for SH). Both men and women can pull this off, though don’t drive fast and get pulled over—cops may ask you to walk the line.
In the meantime, I’ll just take my Ardbeg neat.
ORIN – :
Just found some vials from luckyscent a year or so ago that I hadn’t tried, and this was among them. Just a little smidge on my arm and damn, I am in love. Fall is my favorite time of the year and this really paints the picture for me. Desolate autumn walk to be sure, while smoking a pipe. Brilliantly executed and the quality is impressive also. Seems they use natural ingredients so maybe that’s why it had to be discontinued, but if it made a comeback, I would buy it. If anyone gets tired of theirs, Id be willing to trade or buy it from you- never hurts to ask 🙂
artmaxa1982 – :
A masculine uncommon fragrance that shares many attributes of its sister “Norne”, this stunner from Slumberhouse features a central note of tobacco, which is beautifully blended with cade, patchouli, benzoin and labdanum to create a dark resinous beauty evoking feelings of an autumnal night amongst Juniper trees. Not for everyone and very eclectic.
kkf400bedyWelty – :
Oh wow yes. Very smoky. A little barny, but not in a bad way I think city on fire is worse in this sense. This one still has plenty of sweetness from the balsamics. Very masculine though and smoky.
zm – :
I thoroughly enjoyed Jeke. I love the pungent sweetness of fresh tobacco and the opening of Jeke captures that perfectly. It smells like real, moist, big leaf natural tobacco.
It has a calm, still, autumnal mood.
Rich, concentrated, dark, semi-sweet and pensive.
mr.maloy – :
Great scent!
I transferred my small sample to a spray bottle. Leaving enough to wear this twice and pass along enough for someone to try a couple of dabs on the skin from the little vial.
Tobacco and labdanum seem about equally pronounced. Giving the tobacco a sweet and smoky vibe. Then the benzoin gives it that smooth resin smell. I had to really try to get much patch out of this and I am yet unsure what cade is.
To be honest this kind of reminds me of Olympic Orchids Dev Series with the strong labdanum. I like it a lot but would not shell out the cash for the small bottle it comes in.
Projects well and last a good long time. Worth trying but DO NOT blind buy.
ТиМоХа – :
Jeke is a wonderful fragrance. I feel like I get a lot of cade in this and the tobacco is deep and dark and fragrant. Lasts a good 8 hours on my skin and if someone gave me a bottle of this,I would be very grateful…however:
As magnificent as this is (and oh…oh it is) the moment I applied it, the first thing that hit me like a ton of bricks was “broken theories by kerosene”. I thought I mixed up the samples at first because they are so similar on my skin-to my nose.
I’m not disparaging the house or the fragrance here at all. I own Kiste and will likely be picking up a few others before the year is out but pound for pound… I think “Broken Theories” fits this “place” in a collection better then Jeke and did this “vibe” better in terms of the scent, the progression, the performance (for me) and with a better value.
Don’t hate me.
I still love you Slumberhouse.
Viva la Kiste!
Ауфтщкштп001 – :
This is the best tobacco scent I’ve come across – no small accomplishment in itself. But Jeke also happens to impressively merge a range of dry, earthy, resinous notes to create an aroma that is uniquely evocative of the Autumn in my mind’s eye – I’m reminded of cool October days in the Midwest and the smell of burning leaves in the distance…
I’ve never smoked or really used tobacco products much at all, but I’ve always been drawn to the aromas of good cigars, pipe tobacco, and clove cigarettes. Recreating those aromas in fragrance is apparently a bit tricky. I’ve worn SL Chergui off-and-on for several years, but have often found it to be just a tad too sweet. Tauer’s L’Air du Desert Marocain is a work of art, but it is just a little too amber-centric for me. Jil Sander’s Scent 79 Man has a neat ashtray effect, but feels emaciated compared to its niche brethren.
Enter Jeke. I’d passed on trying the Slumberhouse scents until recently. I suppose I was slightly put off by the prices – $160 for 30 ml is steep (if you’re willing to go through discounters, you can get 100 ml of Chergui for that price). But having spent a few weeks with this fragrance, I can confidently say that the $ is justified.
This deep, dark beauty nearly overwhelms at first with a plume of rich smoke that, to me, approaches the meeting point between a campfire and liturgical incense. What follows is a vivid approximation of a top-quality cigar and perhaps the mere suggestion of good whiskey. What’s even more difficult to describe is the intensity with which Jeke offers up these aromas. This is strong stuff, which probably explains some of the criticism of the fragrance’s opening. Over a period of several hours, Jeke gradually mellows and becomes drier yet – much as tobacco dried in the open air gradually loses its moisture and vitality. The base seems to include just a pinch of honeyed sweetness (no doubt from the benzoin/labdanum combo). That said, this is a more arid, more muscular take on tobacco than what I’ve previously encountered.
This may end up being one of my top scents for the cooler weather. When I purchased it, I also received a sample of Norne – another fantastic scent that I’m expecting to explore.
morixodka – :
From jreily88 below:
“I heard that this contains cade essential oil. Just a fair warning, the dry-distilled or destructive distilled cade oil contains carcinogens and has been banned by IFFA. The hydro-distilled is completely safe. Not sure about any synthetic version though. Basically, if it has a very smoky smell to it, it is toxic”
This is not true. If used in a fragrance, Cade will undergo rectification. It smells intensely smoky even when rectified and the carcinogens are removed.
kuzmich812010 – :
Jeke is the second try from Slumberhouse, my first being Norne, which I loved and bought, and I aimed for Jeke strictly based on the notes breakdown—I’ve not heard much of its reputation.
Jeke is a masculine, winter beast. I get the whole mix of notes, including, in order of prominence: tobacco, benzoin, vanilla, clove, and patchouli. Such a sensuous mix that connotes a warm feeling in cold weather. Whereas Norne is the dirtier option, Jeke is the slightly sweeter cousin that offers a slightly warmer experience (I’ll have to compare them more thoroughly at some point).
I cannot say enough about its performance, as it’s an all day beast in terms of longevity and a major projector for hours after application. The actual juice of Jeke, like Norne, is dark enough to stain clothing, though I didn’t need to apply much in sampling.
At $160 for 30ml extrait, it falls into the category of roughly needing to love it in order to buy it, performance notwithstanding, and to that I’d consider buying it after one wearing, even.
Like Norne, it’s a little rough around the edges and not perfectly polished to my liking, nor is it versatile as it would probably be reserved for cold weather nights alone, so it’s not a top scorer by my abstract standards, but still very impressive!
8 out of 10

I tested this on myself years ago, and it smelled like campfire & sweet fruits, sitting in a forest. I re tested it on my SO, and it smells like Humidor. Literally, the humid wood, sweet, slightly tangy tobacco, a slight smoky edge. Not too sweet, not too dry, this is a fragrance for men in my opinion. It pulled too smoky, bitter & sticky sweet on me, we don’t get on. However, on masculine skin this is really sexy! How a man should smell, I’d highly recommend this to the gentlemen, especially if you love the outdoors or a good cigar. I’ll post a better review to come. I am seeking a bottle or decant of this juice, if anyone has some to part with!

Artistic. Unwearable
Poobolvejed – :
my brother used to smoke dutch tobacco ‘back in the day’, i remember it vividly as i’d always chortle at the ‘premium shag’ written on the pouch. THIS tobacco isn’t as sweet and fruity. it has elements of it, but it is overpowered by the cade/birch ‘burning’ note which creates an odd, almost comforting chocolate-milkiness. both elements exist alonside each other. i don’t know if the perrfumer tried to create the ‘burning cigarette’ accord by pairing these two ingredients or not, but it doesn’t come across this way. you have smoke and you have tobacco. in addition, it wouldn’t surprise me if there was something lactone-esque in the mix, as i’m getting a chocolate/cacao tinge to this.
there’s smoothness in the background which i attribute to the benzoin and labdanum. there is certainly a ‘slumberhouse signature’ throughout, it’s a theme that the perfumer has through all of his creations.
a lot of the scents in this range need to be tried multiple amounts of times. three or five times just isn’t enough, each wear reveals something additional. this time around, i picked up less campfire fit ‘burning’ and more milkiness. this is what all perfume should do, i guess. i mean, there’s ‘linear’ perfumes, and perfumes that perform the same all the time. i don’t think slumberhouse perfumes do that. i know that scent is perceived differently depending on moods and whatever else, but this is not felt as clearly as it is when i wear slumberhouse…
ROSSEN – :
yup — others have hit the nail on the head, smoky, barbecue pit dankness.
a lot of the slumberhouse line is just, well, unwearable. i mean, the scents in and of themselves stand as works of art, no doubt, but just like, say, sewergrind or goregrind, it’s not for ‘general’ consumption.
i get the same fingerprint as ‘sova’; the drunk-ass raisin with a fair bit of cade/birch (can’t actually tell them apart!). the labdanum/rockrose is also present. can’t really pick up the tobacco or anything else like that, though…patchouli and benzoin barely noticeable.
majestic.
robert0704 – :
fusion sacree lui shares some similarities here, but the Jeke is superior, given the tobacco
Makc – :
I ordered a sample of Jeke and when I first sniffed the sample bottle, it smelled very familiar and kind of unpleasant, but I couldn’t figure out what was the smell it reminded me of. Then, suddenly I made the connection and I laughed out loud. Please excuse me for writing this… When I was a child I had ‘a fart jar’. It was an empty old pickles jar in which I literally tried to capture my farts. The sample smelled exactly like that jar. Kind of disgusting to be honest, but it’s also hilarious. Of course I’m probably the only person with this kind of association unless some of you also used to have a similar jar… Oh, the art of perfumery and the happy childhood memories.
Today I’m wearing it for the first time and I’m glad it smells very different on my skin. I mostly get very realistic and rich pipe tobacco, but with it there’s also the benzoin+labdanum+patchouli combo which is probably what reminds me of the smell of pickles and something musty. The scent is earthy and dirty. Something that takes a while to get used to, but I like odd and challenging perfumes.
The balsamic and smoky vibe of Jeke also reminds me of CDG’s Incense Avignon, but if Avignon is a catholic church then Jeke is an old abandoned catholic church that is covered with mold.
Ordiego – :
All the notes sounded so interesting yet all I get is smoke. Smokehouse pit BBQ smoke. It’s a very strong, dark concoction. I like smokey fragrances but this was too much on the smoked ham side. This one’s not for me.
Natalia_fromAF – :
The opening of this is super harsh. Almost made me gag it was so bad. I waited for the dry down and luckily I did because man it was heavenly. If this fragrance was as calm and as beautiful in the opening as it is about an hour after this would be a 10/10, signature worthy scent. Projection and longevity were not the greatest but I think that’s okay for this house. So my rating is a 6/10. Knocking it down for the crazy initial blast of horror. I’d have to spray this an hour before I go anywhere without offending people but about 5 hours later it’s completely gone, 3 hours before becoming more of a skin scent. Be warned this is the worst opening I’ve ever smelled on a drag with such a gorgeous dry down but I can respect that.

I heard that this contains cade essential oil. Just a fair warning, the dry-distilled or destructive distilled cade oil contains carcinogens and has been banned by IFFA. The hydro-distilled is completely safe. Not sure about any synthetic version though. Basically, if it has a very smoky smell to it, it is toxic.
DGQ100 – :
The opening is a smoky grill, ribs in a sweet Coca Cola barbeque sauce. It made me hungry, but as I love heavy smoke in a fragrance, I was interested to see what this would develop into.
After the quirky opening, the middle section was a disappointment. A sweetened patchouli with the volume turned up a bit, nothing that can’t be found in a ton of other fragrances(many of them less expensive than this one), and without much to really separate it from the pack.
Jeke vanished in about 3 hours on me, into a honeyed whimper of barely there base notes, as if it somehow sensed my disappointment.
A delightfully strange opening, that falls into niche “been there, done that” territory after the first 30 minutes.
Not terrible, but a waste of some really interesting ideas. As sweet patchouli scents are very popular at the moment, I could see a lot of people taking a liking to this as it dries down, assuming that first bundle of smoky strangeness doesn’t scare them off
Valonadoxia – :
OK I don’t know what all is in here, but it is like nothing I have ever smelled in perfumery. At first it churned my stomach a little with the scent of maple-glazed hickory-smoked bacon with putrified Coca-Cola dumped on it. You know what I mean? Haven’t you ever smelled a cup of Coke that was sitting around for so long that there was mold forming on top? I swear I have, although I can’t remember when. This, friends, is the opening of Jeke.
Now that I have some experience under my belt with Slumberhouse, I can safely say that it will get better. What I end up with is generally very pleasant–bonfire smoke on the beach + honey. I love it when my nose is close to my skin. I inhale deeply, and it is rapturous. But when I do not have my nose attached to my wrist, I smell booze, like I have taken a shot of whiskey and I wreak of it, and my stomach starts churning again.
INTERESTING perfume. It’s not a love, but it’s definitely not a hate, either.
Marusya – :
Reformulated 2013 Extrait review – 2 spritz;
I tested & rank like so,
1. Jeke (tops the lot)
2. Ore (+)
3. Kiste (very sweet, compelling peach)
4. Norne (extremely damp/unpleasant)
1. Jeke
A certain pinch to the nose this one is! This will not stain the skin – you can see it clearly at first but slowly disappears.
I get a literal burst of ballsy patchouli at first relatively akin to Le Labo’s P24. I have been on the scout for a true unsweetened tobacco scent. After sampling a vast array of houses, let me tell you the mid notes here is the closest you will get to a dry, resilient, burnt tobacco accord – minus all the cherry/raspberry/honey nonsense.
If you have smelt Odori Tabacco, there is an extremely dryer, absolute, more intense tobacco note here (of course much better). Precisely the smell of an aged humidor. This is complemented perfectly with spicy accords a bit later down the track. No sweet booze.
I don’t get the mammoth-esque sillage mentioned from other respected reviewers but longevity is good. There is just enough here to keep all in your humidor cabin in the beginning and sits a little closer to the skin upon development. It is a complex fragrance. I get the humidor vibe for 1/4 of the day then the dark, spicier yet smooth lapsang accord is born on top of the constant linear burning with minute peaks from other notes I cannot put my finger on until the end.
I do not get any boozy, bourbon or vanilla smell at all from the sample vial or the bottle.
Jeke at the heart a complex yet manageable, tobacco back boned fragrance. A house highly underrated and a buy without hesitation.
elatoevace – :
I’ve been waiting to try Jeke for a long time now…too long!
I honestly thought I was being conspired against, first of all it was difficult to find a sample (would be the only slumberhouse out of stock) and when I did eventually order a sample from Luckyscent they missed it off my order! (not that I’m dissing Luckyscent they provide an excellent service the majority of the time.)
I thought I was destined to never try this one but I managed to get a sample over the weekend and wow!
Wow…in a bad way (to begin with) the opening is atomic!!!!
The juice stains your skin with a hefty, smokey onslaught of bangin’ resins, the darkest patchouli and forest smoke. It’s very nearly too much even for me and I was anticipating Jeke as being a holy grail of sorts.
It kinda reminds me of both le labo Oud and Patchouli fragrances, (both of which I don’t like) so oily smokey and dark.
Then it settles down and becomes nicer. Then Jeke dries down properly and becomes a real “wow!” fragrance. This is what I was looking for from the notes.
What I love is the benzoin and labdanum so sharp but smooth at the same time and this is a premium quality example of that. Really settled in now and the benzoin is like a dusty library book amber but without any softness of vanilla, just raw and unadulterated.
The smokiness remains but subdues very nicely into a kind of pipe tobacco and patchouli, it’s as thick and dense as you could possibly imagine but sits quite close to the skin, other than occasional wafting reminders.
Conclusions are that I do in fact think Jeke is a superb fragrance and not totally unexpected but still not quite worth adding to my collection.
I have to say I prefer the pine smoke of Norne and that’s odd because I’m a total resin fanatic.
If Slumberhouse’s trick (or niche) is smokey, dark, unusual or uncompromising fragrances which it undoubtedly is, then I’m more than happy with that effect I get from Norne.
Helldozer – :
OMG,this is one amazing scent. Move over Norne, Jeke is the one. A warm, rich. resinous, honeyed tobacco scent that lasts all day. The smell is reminiscent of an expensive cigar plucked from an exquisite wooden box. A deep. rounded, woody, tobacco fragrance with subtle floral notes that envelopes you like a warm blanket. The more I move and work the more I catch wafts of this heavenly scent.
I have never received so many compliments/inquiries, from women and men alike.Several women have instructed their husbands “smell him” and many people have asked me to write down the name. JEKE. I think I love you.
Thanks to Norne and Jeke I am hooked on Slumberhouse. I can’t wait to try Sådanne.
kaspar – :
Edited totally to say: this is one of my top 5 fragrances of all time.
Smoky, boozy, tobacco forced hug from someone you’ve got a raging boner for and are afraid to touch. Burned peat up front, acrid and aged, with a mild sweetness that blooms over hours to this monolithic, engulfing, pillowy flannel cushion of everything comforting you’ve ever smelled in your entire life.
I don’t know what Slumberhouse is pulling with discontinuing this, but I hope there’s a commission to investigate it.
M_A_X – :
Ufffff …. the top note is amazingly roughly masculine, it’s like the dirty pipe. ashes in ashtray. enchanting smoke!!
now how can i explain this!! it’s like a clean man’s body that has been rubbed harshly with cigarette ashes all over then hoover out all the ashes from him including the dust, that’s Jeke.
quite resembling the clean none-smoker who has class smoker friends or the essence of a man who doesn’t smoke but you can smell masculine essence that involves smoke or tobacco in particular!! quite very interesting.
it has tobacco, cigarette ashes, tonka bean, patchouli, leather, and maybe when it calms down it brings the tobacco leaves on table, and some flowery essence that soften the image of that virility.
i guess i’m thinking seriously to get one!!!!
wwwwwwhhhhh – :
Woah. At first this was super rough. Like strange, smokey, bitter, stuffy, just generally unpleasant. But once it dries down, it is an absolutely beautiful tobacco. To me i get a strong, dry cigar vibe, as opposed to sweet, oily, “cherried” pipe tobacco, but the benzoin softens it into something extremely pleasant.There is a hint of something that reminds me of a Swedish holiday beverage called Julmust, sort of an herbal, spicy drink, but that could be my nose getting jumbled by the turbo-powered smoke. I also get a booziness, similar to the rum in Idole by Lubin, but a few shades darker, and definitely quieter. Its not the most insanely original scent i’ve smelled (at least by niche/indie standards. This would smell like it was from another planet if it was on a department store counter next to something like the insufferable big pony line), but its definitely unique. I definitely perceive more than the notes listed, there is some dark spicy herbaceous odor that i just cannot put my finger on. To me it is not as incredible in the performance department as the brands dark masterpiece Norne (as well as not being as original) but it is still an extremely powerful scent. Also like Norne, this is definitely not fitting for a tropical climate such as my own, so it’s hard to justify a full bottle. While this took a little bit of time for me to fully appreciate, it all paid off in the end and this is definitely a winner.
южэх – :
There’s something about this that is similar to Opium Pour Homme, especially the EdP. That one has anise and the wood gives it a bit of a tobbaco quality, but it’s also more complex than Jeke. I was hoping for more of a dry tobacco, but for the price (and that fact that I already have a bottle of OPH), I’ll stick to the YSL.
vkw932Bessinepome – :
Jeke is an acquired scent to say the least. Very similar to someone taking there first taste of a good single malt. It maybe a little startling at first…even off putting, but ends up winning over countless individuals to try the next rendition to seek out perfection in a bottle. Jeke develops into an extremely nice earthy, smoky, and quite resinous scent. After about 30 minutes is when Jeke unfolds and the wow factor sets in. While Jeke isn’t a complex scent, its extreme longevity, as well as sheer quality are enough for me to buy a bottle, this is also my favorite aspect. Dry down heaven…
Scent 7/10
Longevity 9/10
Sillage 6.5/10
phoenix013 – :
This review is based on a tiny decant. Smokey ashy tobacco with cacao patchouli. Kinda reminds me a bit of Borneo 1834 by Serge Lutens without the tobacco. The scent is dense and somewhat medicinal. Opening is loud but it does calm down a bit as time passes with moderate projection. It has pretty decent staying power on my skin. If you’re a fan of tobacco and looking for something out of the norm then definitely give this one a try.
sochunsenuemn – :
Very very very subtle. Almost could be called a skin scent. I love the notes, and I love everyone else’s descriptions. I just wish I could get enough of a whiff to enjoy. No rating for now, I’m going to give it another shot someday and if there’s no improvement, I’ll give it a poor rating and put my bottle up for sale.
gizerlamo – :
There’s some note in here that is not listed and I don’t know why because it’s very dominant in this scent. It’s a very smoky, phenolic smell, probably birch tar or cade oil. I know what tobacco absolute smells like so I know it’s not that.
vorotakrasnodar – :
The benzoin was brilliantly planted in this one.
The main players in this are definitely Tobacco and labdanum, but the way the benzoin pokes and plays with this unapologetic dry composition is funny and genius.
Imagine a pack of wolves :
The tobacco is the alpha male and the leader of the pack.
The labdanum is the alpha male’s favorite female in the pack to mate with.
But then you have one member in the pack who is playful, goofy and always seeking attention, but no matter how much he pushes the alpha male’s limits, the alpha male never lets him cross the line. He tolerates him yes but never takes him seriously. The goofy wolf knows that and it kills him, but there is nothing he can do about it.
That’s how i would describe Jeke: A powerful wolf pack with a little secret.

This is the first time that i step foot in the Slumberhouse and i’m proud to announced that i now have been Jeked!! It took me all of 4 minutes to determine that this will be added to my collection. This is pure malevolence. Darth Vader in a bottle. A necessary change of pace from the usual run of the mill scents plaguing the market. Color-wise, this doesn’t look like your typical fragrance. You don’t have to be a weirdo to like Jeke. There are familiar notes and accords to attract one for testing. For starters, you have a dark and sinister tobacco followed by everything else(literally take a pick)…This has Montecristo Masque moments. The longer it stays, the longer you will say “wow”! It’s that simple. The rumors are true. Good projection, sillage, and longevity. Alfarom, im surprised that you gave this a 6.5. Usually, compositions like this are right up your alley. Enough talking…go get the extrait!
aleksejsai – :
Serge Lutens’ Chergui and Andy Tauer’s Lone Star Memories met at a big camp fire, smoked pipe all night long and then had a baby.
The progeny is pleasant, long lasting and interesting. Personally, I like a bit more the distinctiveness of the parents (tobacco on one side and smoke on the other). But that’s just me.
killer92 – :
An authentic cigar scent. Refreshing, in a world of tobacco fragrances that smell of vanilla and wishful thinking.
You really don’t encounter scents like this outside of indie lines. The nearest relatives of this fragrance are Ava Luxe’s Kretek and Sonoma Scent Studio’s Tabac Aurea. Yet, this is the most direct stab yet – dense, unsweetened tobacco; cloves; tar; vetiver.
It’s a wall of a scent: no development, no transparency, no relief. But, it’s enormously honest, and if you like the smell of cigars, you’ll love this.

I like this sent – but in general, labdanum tends to give me a headache. Even the natural EO and absolutes. It is a shame, as it is lovely and feel natural, and I like the leather aspect. But must wash!

Jeke has a sister and she is called Voice of Reason
Voice of Reason gives that same boozy smoky note.

Unisex.
“At Last” by Etta James performed by Megan Rose.
