by Jusbox
Cheeky Smile by Jusbox is a hyper-synthetic, unisex fragrance built around iso e super, ambroxan, and cashmeran, delivering a bold, persistent, and deeply personal scent experience. It projects with strong, long-lasting sillage and can linger on skin and clothing for over 24 hours—sometimes long enough to transfer to new clothes or even your skin after a shower. It opens with a sharp, cool, slightly medicinal quality that some liken to rubbing alcohol or hospital disinfectant pads, but this gives way to a warm, sweet, amber-rich core that feels both synthetic and comforting. Many find it reminiscent of Baccarat Rouge 540, especially in its dry down, though some describe it as smoother, less plastic or cloying—more a dense, resinous warmth than a sweet candy floss. The fragrance has a mysterious, abstract quality, often calling to mind molecules and skin-scent sensations, like the warmth of cozy wood or clean, radiant cashmere. It’s ideal for those who love molecular perfumes, particularly fans of Escentric Molecules, Another 13, or Juliette Has a Gun’s Superdose—those seeking high performance, bold projection, and a signature scent that won’t fade quickly. It suits cooler weather and evening wear, and performs best when body heat activates its full complexity. Reviews are divided between those who find it elegant and addictive and those who find it aggressively sharp or off-putting—likely due to sensitivity to synthetic notes like ambroxan or iso e super. Despite this, most who give it a proper skin test tend to be convinced by its longevity and distinct, confident presence.
