Description
from the family of woody, ambered perfumes, which radiate a subtle masculinity and warmth. This makes it perfect for stylish, confident men who like the warm, tobacco-hinted scent of amber.
Top French perfumer Dominique Preyssas from fragrance house CPL Aromas in Paris has centered his JAGUAR CLASSIC AMBER composition around a particularly fine amber tone. For the top notes, he chose the fresh essences of grapefruit, mandarin, petit grain and pink pepper, while the middle notes are based on seductive aromas of apple, cinnamon, elemi resin, black pepper and orange blossoms. In the base notes, refined amber is complemented by cedar wood, patchouli, vanilla, leather, vetiver, labdanum and musk. Classic Amber was launched in 2011.

Got this on sale for AUD$25 at Terry White Chemists in Australia (end of Aug, 2018) because I couldn’t afford Armani Code Profumo -though wanted something similar and thought this Jaguar flanker may be a good substitute. For the price, I think it’s excellent value for what you get. Although this is nothing like the quality of Armani Code Profumo, it has the same kind of wood and amber effect that I wanted. This may sit lighter on the skin, but I may layer it with one of my Oud fragrancesto darken the effect. BTW, the dry down of Armani Code Profumo is a beautiful woody note – much respect to that one.

Doesn’t smell like Obsession Night or Corduroy(owned both). This is close-ish to Narciso Rodriguez “normal” one in the grey. Had someone say it was good but also “kind of pukey.” They’re right. Something it IS nauseating. 🙁 That resin stuff? I dunno…had it forever. This is better than the classic black(lame Lise Watier Neige copy) for sure, but not as youthful or sugary as the Jaguar’s Red B-menesque flow
BlindM – :
Too much pepper and less amber to my taste.
Longevity and projection are medium low
Anyway is a nice peppery scent to use all round year

Opens up like the taste of Juicy Fruit gum, but the drydown is considerably drier – not dry mind you, it’s still sweet, but the patch, leather and wood are much more noticeable, toning down the fruity-amber primary notes.
Sillage seems a bit weak, but this really works as an informal scent for me. Spring/fall t-shirt scent for casual or home use – pretty good for an inexpensive mood-booster.
FARVEKADEALEM – :
Woody, spicy & somewhat fresh scent.
Like an aftershave.
It’s okay…
But not cloying.
Would buy this for an again for my dad & or an elder male…not really for me.
It will sit on my shelf and collect dust.

I love the perfume it smells amazing after the dry down but the problem is with the longevity as it doesn’t last long at all
maksan – :
Warm and extremely sweet, Classic Amber can be garish if over applied. I have to use this sparingly as sweet fragrances like this react well with me and project and last well.
Winter time scent for sure.
Reminds me a little of CK Obsession Night but is more subtle.
As with all Jaguar fragrances the presentation and bottle look great, good value in my opinion.
makc-gomel.2 – :
Probably my worst smelling frag in my collection. Smells like a synthetic blob of pepper and woods-ish notes. At times it smells like glue.
I dont care for this on paper or my skin. For those giving it positive reviews, must be reacting great to your skin chemistry. I would not use sweet to describe this frag. Luckily it cost me $10 100ml bc this will go in the drawer for much later use.
On a side note, the atomizer is fantastic. Big burst of mist.
Kentaurrr – :
A warm, sweet, woody, fruity and spicy fragrance. The apple is noticeable straight away and is very sweet with a lovely silage. The dry down turns more spicy but stays pleasant and sweet. Longevity and silage are quite good. It is similar to Corduroy – but this is much nicer. A very nice winter scent in a nicely designed bottle – I like it.

I bought both this and Amber Red at Ross for a pretty reasonable price. Of the two, I like this one the best mainly due to the fact that it falls into the moderate range of longevity and projection whereas Red smells great but is very weak and does not last long.
The opening seems heavy of alcohol but that dies down rather quickly and I am left with a nice sweet amber with a bit of spiciness (perhaps the cinnamon). After about 15 minutes the woods and earthiness starts to kick in. The most intriguing part of this is the vetiver. It is blended perfectly with the sweet amber giving it a dirty twist which I have not experienced before. I really dig the smokey amber ambiance that stays throughout the drydown all the way the skin scent stage. I get an average four hours out of this and I am not in any way disappointed with my purchase, especially at the price.

Another blind buy for me and I don’t regret it but I’m sad it didn’t work out. I really wanted to like this. At first spray, I fell in love. After a while my head didn’t feel the same way. I get horrible headaches with this fragrance because it’s so sweet! Such a shame.

i am in love with this perfume..it can easily be used by both genders…its a light warm smokey musky woodsy amber…there is something about it which is so warm serene yet not so dark or deep that it can induce headaches..its a light fluffy amber ..there is something comfortable about it its serene ..calming..and very cozzy ..balsamic…warm spicy the sinamon makes it sing with delight ..aromatic and citrucy ..well blended ..intrensic ..yet siplme it reminds me of older men s and womens perfumes that were done simply with love and raw materials..it almost smells like mastic or louban which is a resin and has anti stress effects and anti depression..its been used for over 3000 years in elaviating psychsomatic aliements…
i wish it was longer lasting though ..the intial sprays dont last the whole day i do need to keep re aplying..to get all those mesmerising whifs of antiquity…
i feel this is what a man should smell like…and for women you can use this on cold winter nights layered with yur favourite oriental or vanial or amber ..
igro70 – :

svetta10 – :
too bad.this make me sick.i hate when my husband using this fragrance.
kyh133speagoessenda – :
I have this, after wearing it nobody said that they like it.
rahimjon – :
The purfume is not much good but it lacks in projection and longitivty.
At first spray…it found very strong but in some minutes all fade off and you need to dig your nose deep to smell the real fragrance.
I feel it a loss of money to buy, although it is very new in 2012 but not impressive at all.
Versspeaday – :
i think this is one of the best amber based fragrances
mrelxan – :
I recently smelled this fragrance in a perfume shop. Its beginning is heavy, but character is weak with subtle silage and projection. Top notes are woody but fails to display their full quality. Mid and base notes are spicy gives a feeling of old skool scent and an outdated aftershave. Unable to feel any amber and apple notes in it. Disappointing fragrance! The only good thing is the packaging which is attractive. Price is reasonable.
Longevity is average but lacks projection.
I give it 6.2 out of 10.
