What does Black Jeans smell like?

Lavender, lemon and tarragon give the opening a sharp freshness, with mandarin and ginger adding light spice. The heart brings geranium, rose, iris and jasmine, while vetiver, leather and cedar dominate the base, with tonka bean and nutmeg sweetening it slightly. The accords are spicy, woody, leathery and fougère, with a synthetic edge.

Longevity is moderate and sillage is good, though few people have rated it. It reads masculine. Yves Saint Laurent Jazz and Dunhill Dunhill have a close profile.
