Here's what other people are saying about Black Jade...
After seeing so many recommendations for this on the LuckyScent IG, I had to try it. Unfortunately it smelled exactly like what old lady perfume smelled like to me as a child. I didn’t even want to put it on my skin as a test because of its Aquanet quality.

I bought this as a blind buy because I like the scents incorporated into it, and the lore is interesting. At first, it had a strong old lady smell that scared me, but after 15-30 minutes, it turned into a sweet powdery scent floating over the spices and amber. The rose was in the background spices, tonka and amber always are strongest with my chemistry. I always test new perfumes on off days in case I end up smelling like a skunk, but this one passes the sniff test. I will start wearing it to work tomorrow. This is a complex scent that is elegant and sophisticated, and is best suited to colder weather.

The scent on me is a strong powdery rose. Sexy and classy, never boring.... When I smell it I think LBD, red wine, high heels & a fabulous night feeling like a queen. This is a scent you feel beautiful wearing.

It is beautiful. There are fragrances that I try and it takes time and multiple applications to decide do I like it or not. With Black Jade it’s straight forward, I love it. Feminine and sensual, lingers behind when you walk by and keeps others wondering what does smell so good :)

I read so many conflicting opinions on this perfume but upon opening the sample about 5 minutes ago and putting some on my wrist, I am pleasantly pleased! I couldn’t wait to get home today and give it a sniff. I’m sold. I will be buying a full size! Smells so sweet and beautiful. Classy and sexy. My husband’s eyebrows went up when he smelled it. ??

This is one of the most delicious scents I've ever worn. The scent reflects its name and origin due to its sensuality, deep mystery, and charm. Use sparingly as it is strong, but delightful.

When I really, deeply, love something, it's more difficult to write about it; Sometimes there are fragrances that feel like they are part of you. That is how I feel about Black Jade. While I normally would avoid this much rose, this is the perfectly balanced complex and spicy fragrance. Cinnamon and cardamom take center stage. This is a dynamic perfume that stays light enough to never cloy and maintains the perfect arms length sillage; It encourages people to sniff closer. It smells completely different on skin and fabric. It can stick around very politely on clothes for days. If you like spicy florientals or classic French perfumes, try this.

You're drinking a cup of milk tea in a rose garden, tea that you've ordered iced, lightly sweetened with sugar and vanilla, and heavily sprinkled with cinnamon and cayenne pepper. For a moment, your heart sways between the sweet and the spicy, the lull and the invigoration, the ice and the sun, and then it's gone. You're left with the paper cup, the hodgepodge of debris at the bottom, and the distant roses that you've briefly forgotten. Black Jade by Lubin.

An almost stereotypically French floral as we used to think of them -- big, boozy-ripe, with plenty of more-is-more high-petal-count notes in the mix. It’s beautifully done, though, and the bitter-green galbanum note is on hand to apply tiny pinpricks of reality to the proceedings. The drydown is particularly pleasant, turning away from the narcosis of all those flowers to a warm amber-vanilla effect.

The story is silly, and I could care less. The fragrance itself is beautiful and easy to ear. Not groundbreaking, but pretty nonetheless.

People come to a scent in a number of ways. I would never have discovered this beautiful fragrance had I not taken one of those silly quizzes on Face Book, "Which Ancient Queen Are You?" The answer for me was Marie Antoinette. And that started me wondering, what fragrance might she have worn? A Google search led me to Black Jade, by Lubin, concocted from an antique formula. I LOVE THIS FRAGRANCE! Soft & enveloping.

I was surprised after all the 5 star reviews that I'm totally underwhelmed. It's pleasant enough as a sheer rose/incense chypre type fragrance but it's not unique and not necessarily better smelling to me than others in its category(but more expensive). I'd say Marni and Eau D'Italie Paestum Rose are just as good and a better value.

This is freaking amazing. Seriously. Divine. And way out of my normal range. I could wear a burlap sack and still feel elegant smelling like this. There is some innocence too, without being girlish.

I LOVE this beautiful scent....I can't wait until I've saved enough pennies to buy a full bottle. It's elegant, refined, and grown up. It's just the perfect mix of flowers, incense, and spice. French perfume defined!

I usually burble on about perfumes in my reviews, but this one doesn't need advertisement from me. It is simply charming, a gentle and refined floral/woody beauty that makes you feel nostalgic. This is a great classic of French perfume, and even if it isn't quite yours, you really ought to try it anyway.

First off I think this smells divine. I'm not sure which bottle size is the EdP, but that one for sure smells the best and has the best longevity. It's warm and sweet and spicy, but not at all dry. It ages well throughout the day and happily the complexity stays consistent. Now, I know this may be going out on a limb for some but this perfume contains spices and oils that are known for their natural aphrodisiac properties. Just from my experience with this perfume, I think it is safe to say that there may be something behind that. My fellow is certainly more, ahem, attentive, when I wear this. And I get a lot of attention and chivalrous behaviour from strangers. Bottom line: It's a timeless warm feminine scent and it makes me feel beautiful. Not like marylin monroe but like a natural beauty shunning makeup that loves animals and sweet things and hasn't been touched by darkness.

This perfume is amazing--how have I not reviewed it yet? It starts out fresh, but the cardamom and maybe a touch of cinnamon develop as the perfumes dries down. Lovely, just lovely and feminine. Sweet, pink rose too. Can't say enough good things.

Very nice. It's a sophisticated spicy-floral that is neither too soft nor too loud. As others have mentioned, it's extremely well-crafted and quite complex. Sillage is close but present, and longevity is lasting, at least twelve hours. It could be worn in all seasons, but I do agree that it's subtle warmth suits winter better. I also agree that it's more of a night time scent than a day time one - it's soft, but it's potent. Unfortunately, it's a bit too mature for me, a bit too much of a perfume-y perfume for my liking, but it is lovely and for someone else, I could easily see it being the perfect elegant choice.

It may just be my body chemistry, but this smelled like citronella bug spray on me. It softened out, but still had that harsh citronella scent.

This is such a beautiful scent. As others have stated it continues to morph and change while you wear it. You can tell it was expertly crafted. Nothing in the department stores on this high level. On me I find it has a powdery smell that stays underneath but never overwhelms- it is Not a grandma smell. This will be my next FB purchase as I have went thru three samples of it. I would suggest getting a sample if you like soft florals and understated orientals.
