Brand: Jo Milano Paris
Masculine · EDP · £88.72
Inspired by Parfums de Marly Layton.
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.

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.
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.
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).
Jo Milano Paris Raees Vert is a dupe of Parfums de Marly Layton. It interprets the original scent profile using high quality alternative ingredients at a fraction of the price.
Jo Milano Paris Raees Vert opens with Apple, Lavender, Bergamot, Mandarin Orange, moves into Geranium, Violet, Jasmine, and settles on a base of Vanilla, Cardamom, Sandalwood, Pepper, Guaiac Wood, Patchouli. It is built to capture the character of Parfums de Marly Layton.
Jo Milano Paris Raees Vert is EDP, formulated for strong performance as a budget friendly alternative to the original.
EDP stands for Eau de Parfum. It typically contains 15 to 20 percent fragrance concentration, giving stronger performance and longer longevity than EDT. Most Middle Eastern clone brands release their fragrances as EDP, which is a significant reason they tend to outperform designer equivalents in longevity and projection at a lower price point.
Extrait de parfum, also called pure parfum, contains the highest fragrance concentration, typically 20 to 40 percent. It lasts the longest, projects most richly, and develops the most complex dry-down. Bujairami releases all its fragrances as extraits, which is a significant part of why the brand has developed such a strong reputation for performance.
Maceration is the process of fragrance molecules fully integrating and settling after production. A newly bottled fragrance can smell sharp, synthetic, or unbalanced because the individual ingredients have not yet harmonised. Leaving a bottle to settle for two to four weeks is standard practice in the fragrance community. Remove the cap and let the bottle breathe overnight to accelerate the process. Most heavy Middle Eastern releases benefit significantly from maceration.
A blind buy is purchasing a fragrance without having smelled it first, based on notes, reviews, community consensus, and comparisons to fragrances you already know. The Atlas compare tool, scent accuracy scores, and community reviews are specifically designed to reduce the risk of a disappointing blind buy by giving you data before you spend money.
