PowderyWhat does Essentially Jaguar smell like?
The top holds orange blossom, bergamot, mandarin orange and freesia, while rose, clove, ylang-ylang and jasmine form the floral heart. In the base, musk, oakmoss, vanilla and sandalwood sweeten it and pull it towards a woody, creamy, slightly animalic finish.
Longevity is rated strong and sillage good, though the number of votes is small, so treat this as a rough guide. With its dense, oriental character it reads as feminine. Karl Lagerfeld Sun Moon Stars and Salvador Dali Dali have a close profile.
