What does Jaguar for Men Gold in Black smell like?

Longevity and sillage are both moderate. Most voters pick spring, autumn and winter, while summer plays a smaller part. It is chosen most for leisure, business and daily wear, and the character votes lean masculine and classic.

The top is bright and lightly spiced, with mandarin, cumin and elemi resin. In the heart, nutmeg, Thai ginger and geranium pull the spice toward a floral, green side. The base of cedarwood, vetiver, labdanum and tonka bean grounds it in a woody, resinous, slightly sweet finish. Penhaligon's Halfeti and Montale Red Aoud have a close profile.
