For those of you who’ve been wondering for a couple of years: it’s pronounced ruby, like the stone. Now aren’t we glad that’s out of the way? If you swooned at her soulful extraits but though their intensity was a bit too much of a commitment in the morning, now’s the time to give in. Vero Kern has re-orchestrated her blends into eau de parfum: the different concentration called, she explains, for a slightly different formula.
Rubj is still a knee-tremblingly narcotic white floral blend, but in this version, the indoles have been turned down and the civet removed. The airier construction brings out a new feature: the slightly chypre quality of the bergamot-floral-oak moss and patchouli structure.
The addition of a playful passion fruit top note brings out the fruity facets of the blossoms, while hinting at their deeply animal nature – it’s not called “passion” fruit for nothing. Have you ever heard a flower purr? Spritz on Rubj and go on a prowl.
