An "APOM pour homme" with fruit and vanilla
Apple in the top note?
Oh no, we already know this enough by now.

Orange blossom in the base note?
So like so many other creations. I like this fragrance, but for others it is too rich, stuffy and dense. At "APOM pour homme" a nice perfumer once said that you could literally cut this powdery orange blossom scent in the air. Greetings go out to the perfume I know he reads along ;)

Oh yes, and then there is the meanwhile quite inflationary used vanilla in the base, which is almost obligatory for today's new releases.

All the notes I have listed are in a fragrance that is in the lower price segment. My perhaps snobbish perfume nose could turn upside down now, but for me in particular - no - for us, it's important to get rid of fixed mindsets and not succumb to stereotypes. I probably don't need to explain the stereotypes of cheap scented water.

But how does it smell:

Well, it smells pretty good, actually. The not too sweet apple is thrown into a field of orange blossoms at the beginning. Those are apparently not yet fully grown and therefore clearly perceptible, but not overwhelming or too luxuriant. I even perceive its smell as somewhat airy, which is very unusual for this plant. In the later course of the fragrance, vanilla joins in, providing a little more warmth and depth and pleasantly rounding off the overall composition without causing a diabetic shock to the wearer.

I would also like to mention - and this is actually the most important thing about this comment for me - that I see certain parallels to Kurkdjian's "APOM pour homme". "APOM pour homme" may perhaps cling more strongly to the wearer's skin and be more communicative towards his environment, but its orange blossom theme is somehow also to be found in "Classic Gold". The orange blossom notes implemented in both fragrances have quite similar scents. Finally, the difference is that in Jaguar, the flower is decorated with a little fruit and is by far not as dense and stuffy as in Kurkdjian's Classics (for me, this is one) due to powdery amber and dry cedar.

Conclusion: I like both scents and the Jaguar surprised me very much, considering what is offered here for little money. Due to its transparency, "Classic Gold" is extremely suitable for everyday use, but also edgeless, which might be a bit dull for some people. But there must also be such fragrances - and this is mentioned often enough here in the forum.

"Do not judge me by my Price! "
Acquired because of the numerous rave reviews in this forum on a grey and foggy January morning in the drugstore market, this impulse purchase turned out to be intolerable for me after several test runs.
The unbeatable price of 15€ per 100 millilitres is definitely an argument, the less the fragrance can convince me at this price. I generally don't dislike sweet scents for the man, the JPG Ultra Male I appreciate very much, especially in the cool season, because it has depth and a fragrance progression. For me, the absolute exclusion criterion for this fragrance was the blatant, all-trumping synthetic. Not a single one of the very homogeneous components looks authentic anyway.
So what do I smell ... First comes a very sticky sweetness of a light fruit, with apple I cannot associate this with the best will in the world. Most likely it reminds me of dry apricots "breaded" with cheap honey. The freshness of a lime or bergamot can only be guessed from the background. And then little happens in the process. The scent is sweet and it stays sweet. Pushy and sweet in a pungent way. Steaming woods and dark nuances, which according to the pyramid are supposed to be contained, can hardly be filtered out for me. Vanilla is the most prominent substance in the further course of the disease.
In the overall composition, the fragrance therefore doesn't seem complex to me, but that for many hours, because the shelf life is quite given. Not surprising with the synthetic bomb, either.
That's why I really have to label the fragrance with the attribute "cheap", because it seems neither noble nor balanced in composition. So it had to leave my shelf again.
But my subjective impression doesn't have to evoke with every similar perception, so I can only recommend to test the scent, it is in every drugstore. If he pleases anyone, "Do not judge me by my Price!" still applies

Cheap / Long lasting / Good
Fragrance:
Unfortunately, I do not possess such a trained nose as many in the community to smell out different fragrance notes. Generally, I would describe it as floral-sweet with a masculine note. Who prefers more classic woody masculine fragrances (Bentley Intense, Oud Wood.. should beware of a blindbuy.

DURABILITY:
For a perfume in this price range and in the floral-sweet-somewhat fresh kind holds the fragrance surprisingly long.

FLACON:
For this price range very good. The sprayer is in my opinion in comparable quality as those of my channel fragrances. All nicely shaped and heavy. The only thing is the plastic around what but at the price can be neglected.

DESTINY:
Is worn by me and my wife. For men who like strong and masculine (act) possibly but a tick too feminine. For women on the first date possibly a little too masculine. Would count him rather to unisex than to a pure men's fragrance.

ALTERNATIVES:
In the price segment in my experience none. Above would be Reflexion Men & Layton and if you go far the old unreformed (durability not fragrance) Channel Allure Home Sport au extreme to mention.

CONCLUSION:
Should one (s) and woman times probegerochen have. Because if it pleases one the price is unbeatable.

BLINDBUY:
Who stands on Blumigsüße men's fragrances with a unisex touch then - YES
Who stands on Bentley Intense, Out Wood definitely - NO

Blind bought / tested & given away to my sister .
Fragrances in the low price segment have played absolutely no role for me until a few months ago, i.e. fragrances that you can get (100 ml) for 20 Euros. this changed when I accidentally tested a Jaguar fragrance (Stance) From that moment on I decided to pay more attention to this area, especially to the Jaguar fragrances which you can get for about 20 Euro And I have also currently incl. this one I have given away, 5 Jaguar perfumes in my collection .
Price / performance is simply right here !
From this one I had read here a lot of good, and therefore waited until it was once again in the offer .15 Euro it has cost, and I have simply blindly accessed .
What a mistake ! The fragrance has such a penetrating, synthetic top note that it gives me a headache ... i think it's supposed to be the apple.
And although I am not averse to sweet scents in the cold season, this is definitely too much of a good thing for me Apart from this, it has a VERY feminine effect over the entire fragrance process The sillage is quite STRONG, and the shelf life is somewhere in the range of 5-6 hours .
One could think that when the top note is gone, the fragrance changes a bit into a spicy / woody one, but NO, there is vanilla and a sticky Hubba Bubba note, furthermore, even after 3 hours, this top note is still perceptible which gives me a headache He may smell better on other people, but it is not my case

Love marriage or marriage of convenience?
The forest is getting denser as far as combustion engines are concerned, so I started looking for an acceptable E car that wouldn't leave you standing somewhere in the middle of nowhere.

Many telephone calls with various car dealerships and complicated appointment arrangements.
An Asian brand even demanded a full fee for a test drive.
No, I'm good.

Especially since I couldn't get rid of the feeling that you are not taken too seriously as a customer.

But the Jaguar brand stood out from the crowd by gallantly placing the cat right in front of my door.
That's what I call service.

And also the car is "outstanding" and driving is a blessing.
Two electric motors carry you away like a sedan - and you feel as secure as in a duvet.

So we had to put a jaguar scent in the house.
I am surprised at the civil price of this precious golden fragrance, because the seductive cars are not very reserved in this respect.
Nevertheless, the soft gold fits into the exclusive brand image.
A fresh, fruity start makes you feel friendly - and elegant jasmine is added gently.
The noble teak wood is warmed by the orange blossom - and the sweet vanilla gives security.
Patchoulie appears soft and lends the "classic touch".

I prefer Classic Gold to unisex, because the fragrance also suits me well - just like the convincing i pace.

I would love to marry a cat - but maybe it will be a marriage of convenience with another brand.
