Jack Black Signature Silver Mark (2001)
by Jack Black

I really like this scent, it reminds me of clean laundry for some reason. However, it seems to be really strong on me so I need less than my normal amount of sprays. 1 on the chest, 1 split between wrists, and just a slight squeeze behind the ears/neck. Other than that, incredibly pleased with it. Give it a try.

This is a powerful scent – I wouldn’t want it to be any more assertive! It presents itself as very clean and airy, and yet also bold. Definitely masculine, since it is aromatic and dry. The opening salvo has pungent lavender, peppery spices and some green herbal notes. These move into a light wood chord. If cypress is done well, it has a pleasingly haunting quality; and that is true here. My reservation is with the patchouli. It is not sweet or heavy (thankfully), but it is pungent and creates a kind of ‘fresh’ edgy quality that sometimes is a bit tiresome to my nose. I’ll give this thumbs up, but I’m not crazy about it. Actually, now that I think about it, the spices and patchouli remind me of Rive Gauche for Men. This is very much like that, I think. They both have bollocks.

Dry, patchouli-laden fougère that really stands out among the JB products I've sampled. If you're a fan of Heritage and/or Cacharel pour Homme, you'll want to give this one a fair shake.

JB Signature almost has an Eighties powerhouse feel about it -- very bold and masculine and not at all what you'd expect from a frag created less than a decade ago.

Jack Black Signature. Just tried it and it is one of the best I've come across. I ordered a bottle today, in fact.
It is a mature scent, not one of those 'hit you in the nose' new ones that are popular at the moment. I will add this to my Creed Tabarome as my mainstay. Try it. Really.....

A good but not great one. I love the Cypress here, a bit salty smelling. Nice woodsy, average sillage and longevity. It is unique, just wish it was a bit more powerful (even though it is an EDP).

I find the opening very impressive: I don’t get so much bergamot as I do pepper and sage. The pepper, cypress, laurel, sage, and bergamot provide a strong, masculine accord that, at first I respond to very positively. The accord is quite classic and elegant with the peppery spices and sage dominating a strong cypress background. But its aromatic ambiance seems to keep growing—almost exponentially. It is really strange that, as much as I’m impressed by the opening accord at first, I very quickly grow annoyed with it, and then my scent receptors turn the scent off completely. Returning to the scent after I give my nose a rest, I find a strong, heavy wood dominated by cedar with a quite noticeable element of patchouli and amber. Most of the aromatics are gone, but not forgotten. In the actual full length wearing of Jack Black Silver Mark, it is not nearly so annoying as in testing it. I do think my receptors turn the scent off and on because at times I believe it’s completely gone, only to smell it again a half hour later. The final wood accord and the longevity are adequate. This is a good dark wood fragrance, but as Connoisseur says, there are better.
