Jaguar (new) (2001)
by Jaguar

To avoid any confusion, I am reviewing the fragrance that is housed in the bottle that is pictured: translucent light blue glass with plastic chrome trims.

THis stuff opens up with a very airy sweet orange-musky note. The sandalwood at the base reminded me of a very, very, very, VERY weak Joop! Homme. After smelling and knowing Joop!, Jaguar is a kitten in comparison. Simple and light: good for office wear. Very "clean" but not in the "fresh" way. The accords are semi-transparent; like I can sniff through them.

Think these reviews are for Jaguar pure instict.I find this to smell of bitter oranges and have a summery feel.Quite nonedescript but it lasts quite well

When I sprayed this on a card, I got a nice citrusy orange blossom. When I sprayed it on my wrist, very heavy and dull Lotus and Tonka bean that lasted all day, like i had bathed in chocolate. Not really my thing. For a spicy, fresh scent try Jaguar Performance man.

Not much new here. This is pretty much like untold numbers of men’s fragrances of the past dozen years. It features that lavender / citrus / green opening similar to some Calvin Kleins, Façonnables, etc… The middle floral / ginger isn’t new either, nor is the weak and wussy sandalwood / white musk base. This is another one of the fragrances with most of its energy is happening in the first eleven minutes, and then it fades to obscurity. It is simply an already somewhat dated rehashing of at least a dozen Eternity-also-ran fragrances. It happens to be a pretty good rehashing, though: It progresses nicely, is quite wearable and well balanced, and it is not offendingly synthetic. I agree with The_odor; if they wanted to keep it in the company, it should have been labeled “Ford” rather than “Jaguar.” It’s a nice fragrance but…been there, done that many times.

Light mandarin/orangey whiff lasts well
If your girlfriend ever wore Aqua Manda you'll be reminded!

I find this fragance really nice, not at all worth the negative reviewes! It's not the most beautiful fragance around, but it is really well done, and sort of classic and clean. It's not a common fragance, either. Balanced, comforing and longlasting. A very good every-day-fragance. Some of the writers call it a summerfragance, but I think it works all year. Love it on my husband!
