Jaguar Classic Gold, from Jaguar was released in 2013. The perfumer behind this creation is Dominique Preyssas. It has the top notes of Apple, Bergamot, and Lime, middle notes of Orange Blossom and Teak Wood, and base notes of Musk, Patchouli, and Vanilla.
I checked the notes before blind buying this and I was maybe expecting something a little like Boss Bottled, probably because I saw apple and vanilla among the notes. You do get that, sort of. I've never tried Dunhill Desire Red but if this is similar then I'm not missing all that much. I don't hate it, in fact the very deep drydown is amazing but we will get to that in a moment. The opening is a potently tart, sweetness with citrus but an over all feel of sensual warmth of woody vanilla. My problem is that it smells a little cheap and something I don't dislike but I'm not crazy about either. There's depth there but it's confused and crowd pleasing for the same reason I'm not mad about 1 Million or Eros. I believe there's an incense/resin/amber smell in Jaguar Classic Gold which really reveals itself in the drydown. It kinda became similar to CdG Florential, a kinda berry like resinous smell that's quite lovely. All that was lurking underneath a slightly harsh, cheesy fragrance...I'm definitely going to wear it. Performance was pretty good too.
