Jaguar (new)
Jaguar (2001)

Yes it is generic but it is not bad. Decent longevity. Similar to a deodorant or fabric softener. Nothing original but a decent, casual scent at an affordable price. I still prefer the original Jaguar in the dark green bottle over the many flankers Jaguar has out there.

Smells young and juvenile, cheap but not unpleasant. Fresh and sweet, and reminds me of the 90's. It does smell like a somehow less-refined version of Joop Nightflight, which I do like but more for nostalgic purposes since I used to own it.

What's interesting about this and Nightflight is that under the sweetness and freshness, there is a smooth, cool, creaminess that reminds me of Chanel Allure Homme Sport, except the Joop and the Jaguar came first.

Unlike one of the other reviewers, I get an unpleasant note clash for a few minutes and then there's a dry, slightly sour, orange-ish scent with a touch of Eternity for Men hanging out in the background for a little while. Eternity doesn't want to wait an eternity for something to happen, and soon departs. Star anise then comes forward, but is never dominant, and in fact take at least an hour to become obvious. The orange then recedes and it's at its best, with good balance, though I never got much musk and it's just a bit sweet (nothing especially "synthetic," though the first few minutes is odd). No, it doesn't have the richness, dynamism, nor complexity of the vintage greats, but this is a super-cheapo "car fragrance" (apparently mine was from a 2017 or later batch), and so I have to give it a positive review. Perhaps some older batches were bad? The color of the liquid makes no sense, as I don't get calone or dihydromyrcenol. I'd say a light clay color would make more sense.

semi-sweet orange/citrus opening that quickly devolves into a synthetic floral mess. I get a little woods/musk in the drydown, but overall the cloying synthetic floral/alcohol smell dominates the entire fragrance. Not good. Not good at all.

The opening is nice with some citrus/tangy feel but it fades away very fast. Then comes a synthetic vibe like a nail polish remover as The_cologneist said. But a good amount of ginger in the drydown saves some grace. The ginger in the base is well balanced and it reminds me of Bvlgari Blv. Overall it has nothing remarkable. I got it as a gift so I cant complain either.

Like all Jaguar perfumes, this is not exception, a solidly built perfume that has been done before. Nothing new, nothing that would stand out in a crowd. Slightly citric, orangy opening with some spicyness thrown in to a heart that is pleasant but not with a clearly dominant note, to end in a woody musky base, Not the best aJguar, not the worst Jaguar either. I like it and I enjoy it, but is a "office" fragrance, a fragrance you use when you do not want to be noticed.
It is a perfume that will offend nobody, but I would not write home about it either.
Good quality for a fair price, thumbs up!!!!
