JD Juste Filthy

Juste Filthy by JD Jeffrey Dame is a bold, aromatic animalic fragrance that leans heavily into musky, woody, and spicy accords with a prominent civet and skatole presence. The opening is intense and assertive—marked by herbal, green, and sharp aromatic notes like tarragon, artemisia, and cumin—giving it a raw, barbershop-like edge. Over time, the fragrance mellows into a smooth, warm, powdery musk with subtle floral and incense-like layers, making it more wearable on cool days. Although some describe it as “filthy” or fecal in the initial phase, the majority find the animalic notes transformed into something rich and intimate by the drydown—akin to a velvety, skin-scented cloak. Most agree it’s unisex and not overtly masculine, with many describing it as unexpectedly soft, cuddly, and powdery on skin. The performance is superb—long-lasting, even after several hours, with strong projection and persistent sillage throughout the day. It stands as a refinement of classic scents like Kouros, blending vintage animalics with modern formulation techniques. The price is widely considered exceptional for the quality and longevity. If you're drawn to strong, evocative, modern animalics or are seeking a fragrance with narrative transport—evoking dusty horse rides, old libraries, or vintage barbershops—this is a compelling and rare find. Ideal for cooler seasons, it’s both immersive and intensely personal.
