Jo Milano Paris Raees Vert
Brand: Jo Milano Paris
Masculine · EDP · £88.72
Inspired by Parfums de Marly Layton.
Description
Raees Vert is a masculine Eau de Parfum from Jo Milano Paris built around apple, lavender, bergamot and mandarin orange over geranium, violet and jasmine before vanilla, cardamom, sandalwood, pepper, guaiac wood and patchouli form the base. It belongs to the 786 Collection and is mapped in the Atlas to Parfums de Marly Layton. Product Overview Raees Vert is the fruity-spicy member of the four-fragrance Raees group inside Jo Milano's 786 Collection. Jo Milano's official page frames it around luxury and sophistication and notes an August 24 launch date without a reliable year, so the Atlas avoids inventing a release year. Scent Profile Apple gives the opening a crisp juicy sweetness while lavender, bergamot and mandarin add aromatic and citrus lift. Geranium, violet and jasmine soften the heart. Vanilla and cardamom then introduce warmth, with sandalwood, pepper, guaiac wood and patchouli creating a smooth woody drydown. Technical Structure and Development The fragrance moves from bright apple-citrus freshness into a floral-aromatic centre before becoming warmer and creamier through vanilla, cardamom and woods. The pepper and guaiac wood keep the late stages drier than the opening suggests. Performance Independent community feedback is especially useful here. One detailed Fragrantica reviewer described Raees Vert as an exceptionally smooth Layton clone and said the main difference in a side-by-side test was the absence of Layton's well-known menthol or medicinal opening. The same review praised blend quality and overall closeness rather than focusing on extreme projection. Wear Scenarios • Evening and smart casual wear • Autumn, winter and spring • Dates and social occasions • Fruity spicy signature scent wear Scent Family Positioning Raees Vert sits in the spicy woody lane, combining apple, lavender, vanilla, cardamom, sandalwood and patchouli. Inspired By and Style Comparisons Parfums de Marly Layton is the direct Atlas reference. Community comparison suggests Raees Vert preserves the core apple, lavender, vanilla and spicy-wood DNA while smoothing away much of Layton's divisive mentholated opening. One reviewer also compared that smoother result with 1723 by Superz Budapest. Flankers and Variations Raees Vert sits alongside Blanche, Gold and Noir in the 786 Collection. Each uses the Raees identity but targets a different luxury fragrance direction. Market and Community Reception Jo Milano currently lists Raees Vert at $120 for 100ml. Fragrantica's current rating is strong despite a small sample, and the most detailed recent review calls it one of the better Layton clones available, particularly for wearers who dislike the original's medicinal opening.

Atlas Insight
Why It Stands Out
Raees Vert offers a balanced transition from a crisp, juicy apple and citrus opening into a sophisticated heart of violet and geranium. It leans into a modern masculine profile, grounding its fruitiness with warm cardamom and wood.
Who Should Buy It
This is for the individual seeking a versatile, daily signature that shifts seamlessly from professional environments to evening social settings. It suits those who appreciate woody-spicy scents with a clean, aromatic floral edge.
Who Should Skip It
Skip this if you are looking for a highly potent or uniquely dense fragrance experience, as this composition favors a more refined, moderate presence that may feel underwhelming for those demanding massive, room-filling intensity.
Compared With the Original
Compared with Parfums de Marly Layton, this interpretation captures the essential apple and vanilla harmony with admirable fidelity. It replicates the core spicy-woody structure while slightly softening the heavier, resinous drydown.
Best Alternative If This Isn't for You
If you want the spicy-woody signature without the moderate intensity, Al Haramain Detour Noir is the natural next step. It moves into intense niche territory, emphasizing richer spices and deeper vanilla rather than the lighter woodiness.
Frequently Asked Questions
Are Jo Milano Paris fragrances original scents or clones of other luxury perfumes?
Jo Milano Paris is primarily celebrated in the fragrance community as a high-end clone and "dupe" house. While they craft standalone collections, their most viral releases—specifically from the Game of Spades line—are highly accurate, beast-mode interpretations of ultra-luxury, niche perfumes from houses like Bond No. 9, Louis Vuitton, and Xerjoff, offering the same elite scent profiles at a fraction of the cost.
How long do Jo Milano fragrances last, and what is their concentration?
Most Jo Milano Paris fragrances are formulated as Eau de Parfum (EDP) or Extrait de Parfum concentrations. Because they use high-quality fragrance oils, users consistently report exceptional performance, typically achieving 8 to 12+ hours of longevity on the skin. They are particularly famous for their intense sillage and projection, often outperforming the original expensive fragrances they are inspired by.
What are the most popular Jo Milano Game of Spades fragrances and what do they smell like?
The most sought-after bottles in the collection include Game of Spades King (a sweet, fruity, and musky blend inspired by Xerjoff Erba Pura), Game of Spades Win (a sugary, airy floral inspired by Bond No. 9 Greenwich Village), and Game of Spades Rouge (a deep, warm amber-woody scent mimicking Baccarat Rouge 540 / Bond No. 9 Ruby).
