Classic Black
Classic Black by Jaguar is a masculine-leaning eau de toilette from 2009 in the budget price tier. It opens with mandarin, bergamot and lavender, moves into geranium and cardamom and dries down to cedarwood, musk and tonka bean. Expect around 6 hours of wear, and it projects at a moderate level.
Notes, explained
Opening
- Mandarin Soft, sweet, almost powdery citrus. Gentler than orange.
- Bergamot Sharp citrus with a faint bitter edge. The opening of about half of all men's fragrances.
- Lavender Herbal, clean, slightly medicinal. Barbershop in one note.
Heart
- Geranium Rosy and minty at once. Reads masculine more often than not.
- Cardamom Cool, aromatic spice with a eucalyptus lift. Smells expensive.
Dry-down
- Cedarwood Dry, pencil-shaving woodiness. Clean and structural.
- Musk Warm, skin-like and slightly sweet. Makes a fragrance feel like you.
- Tonka Bean Almond, hay and vanilla in one. Warm and slightly nutty.
