Description
Jaguar Company, known for luxurious and visually appealing cars, expands their collection of perfumes with two brand new editions. These are fragrances for men Jaguar Classic Gold and Jaguar Classic Red available in characteristic flacons, as those of previous editions Jaguar, Classic Black and Classic Amber. The new flacons have the same form and accentuated the colors selected for the names of the new fragrances – red and gold.
Jaguar Classic Red has also been announced for 2013. The fragrance aims at modern man who lives for excitement. Its notes offer a blend of raspberry, blueberry and bergamot as an overture to jasmine, pepper and ozone in the heart. The base provides a harmonious blend of patchouli, cedar, amber, tonka and vanilla which wake passion with their hot, creamy notes. The fragrance was created by Karine Dubreuil Sereni and it will be available as 100ml EDT.

This does have a bright, amber-soapy opening, but within 30 minutes it becomes more the sweet, fruity vanilla unisex you’d expect reading the note breakdown. There is enough citrus, patch and cedar to keep it out of “cloying” territory, but it certainly on the sweeter side of things.
The opening gives you much more of a generic impression than that appealing drydown – give it time and you’ll understand what a bargain it is. By a long shot my favorite of the Jaguar Classic line so far.

Very sweet, fruity warm and soapy. Longevity and silage quite good/OK. Not expensive. I like this one.
Gonzik – :
Smell wise is “JUST OKAY”. It is Sweet Fruity and Synthetic. I agree with the last reviewer that it smell like a Fruitier version to Midnight in Paris.
The good news is that I find Jaguar Red project 2x futher and last 2x longer than Midnight in Paris. The bad news is that for the same price, Thallium smell way better. If I want a Synthetic Sweet Fruity cologne, I reach for Thallium instead.
proshsa – :
Sister scent to Midnight in Paris , a bit fruitier and more generic.
It stands out from the other jaguar fragrances as it has a unisex vibe to it.
Lasts a couple of hours but it’s good for the price .

This is a sweet, aromatic fragrance that I like! It’s modern yet classic yet! The candle reminds me of the woody nature of Nikos Pour Homme, but there is an exciting, sexy sweet base that makes me feel the inspiration of Extase Pure Passion! One of the best Jaguar fragrances I met! I love scent and volunteer blows for myself every day from it! 10/10 my rating and value for money are unbeatable!
This is a scent that represents the highest category and completely neglects the car perfume category and gives you the experience of the oldest classic perfume manufacturers! I have a separate shelf in my closet!
One of the few scents in which raspberries perfectly harmonize with woody bases!
Master Work!

It’s very cheap but not the smell, I like this sweet unisex frag. I only tested once and impressed me except the sillage, because sits close to the skin. It remnds me of another juice I think Mugler the taste in fragrance without the heavy patchouli, coffee combo
bigzaraza – :
its very very nice smelling frag , nice mixture of sweet & spicy !
just did not like the longevity but will give it another try .

When will I ever learn eh? I blind bought this because I’m a bit obsessed with Jaguar fragrances at the moment. I never realised just how many there were out there, I know there’s not that many compared to some brands but they seem to keep popping up in TK Maxx. Following a quick check on here I think to myself I’ll have a punt on a little 40ml of this or that. I own one of the Loewe Solo line and Jag Red is compared to Absoluto (probably my favourite of those) add that to the comparisons with B*Men and I figured it was a no brainer, but more about that in a minute. Generally speaking Jaguar Red is a fruity, oriental fragrance which is in keeping with the last one I got Jaguar Gold but they both suffer from what I’ve dubbed the ‘Dunhill effect’. Nice ideas which come from diferent places to the mainstream but just kinda cheaply executed. In fairness to Dunhill though they have some real unique releases like Edition. Anyway…Red opens up very strangely indeed with a clean, kind of bandage smell, and not something particularly pleasant, which had me thinking ‘This is nothing like B*Men!!!’ as I had read in the comment below. Then after 30 seconds or so is transformed with a tart fruitiness, the raspberry, blueberry and bergamot must conspire to make a kind of sweet/sour rhubarb aroma and there it is….sure enough…B*Men. This is quite miraculous really but not the end of the story because that ‘bandage’ weirdness does come back to haunt in the drydown. For the main part though it’s a very interesting vibe, worthy of Mugler himself, a dirty vanilla, patchouli, extremely complex in nature with a little tar and wood in there. Unfortunately this doesn’t last that long before it enters another phase which effectly and gradually strips those fascinating qualities down to a cheap, much cleaner but unnerving skin scent. I think the bandage thing I described fits in with the comparisons to the Loewe Solo line, all of which have this quality but in them it seems more deliberate, this just seems a bit hap hazard and messy. It’s not bad though and it certainly created some interest. Red is a worthy B*Men substitute at least for a while, with comparative performance but don’t go thinking you’ve found a replacement for the increasingly scarce Mugler because it ain’t.

Basically smells like a cheap Angel B*Men. This is ok, as B*men’s discontinued(though I gave my bottle of that stuff away for some odd reason). Though the longevity is probably the same, Jaguar’s “rendition” :O lmfao is made with whatever makes you nauseous and headachey(that’s not why i gave my b*men away btw). Like, I Like this…because it smells good and unlike anything on the market(currently, ahaha) but I don’t love it because I wear smells to feel good, not sick…and most colognes don’t make me feel sick…but this and Jaguar Classic Amber(though smell great) make me feel quite ill physically. W/e keeps costs down? 😉 but ya, this was $19.99 at Shopper’s Drug Mart.

Worst blind buy ever. This fragrance those not even come of my skin. I would have to give it more wearings. Maybe up my sprays to 10 and see if it projects a little better.
xmeatx – :
I was a bit lukewarm in my first review below. This is good. I like it more than before. I came home tired today and sprayed it on me because my scent of the day had worn off. Classic Red was a nice change of pace. The notes are still the same. The weather is cooler. Today felt like autumn and Classic Red was the right scent for today. It is priced competitively and delivers far above the cost. It does not remind me of Bulgari or Midnight in Paris. I love both and would love an alternative, but this is a nice everyday office scent that will give you a little ray of sunshine.

i recently revisited R.S.V.P by keneth cole
i think there is a lot of similarities. except:
rsvp is for fall
classic red is for summer/spring
rsvp is for older guys/ ages 21+
classic red is youthful or for all ages.
rsvp is stronger/ more potent @ 3 hours.
classic red is weaker @ 1.5 hour
just saying, it might be a good inexpensive alternative.
Patomusho – :
Another blind buy. First impression when sprayed on my wrist? A mature man’s scent. I will not recommend this to younger men. Not so fruity, it’s kind of a bit peppery and woody during dry-down. After a couple of hours, it’s almost a skin scent.
The bottle is partly plastic, just like FCUK and other perfume bottles. Unfortunately I didn’t like it so I’ll just give this away on Christmas.
huivamm – :
this is a cheaper alternative of Midnight in Paris and Bvlgari Black….thats what i get. ofcourse those other two are both masterpieces, but this is amazing too…up top is lovely sweet fruity raspberry and berries, and the dry down is powdery amber and vanilla musk to my nose.longevity is moderate.excellent juice and really pretty bottle.bang for buck all the way.will make nice night out and clubbing scent with 5/6 sprays.easily could be unisex
Lavush – :
Jaguar classic red is nice. It smells pleasant, but it is not a world-class scent. Good spray, good presentation. This is good, not memorable. Smell is good for the price, but not better. This would be a good starter scent or appropriate for someone who does not take scent too seriously. The opening is fruity and a bit soapy. It is pretty linear, but does soften around the edges as the notes blend together after 2 hours. There was a favorable comparison to Midnight in Paris below that inspired me to try this. I simply do not make the connection in this case. On my skin this does goes away after 4 hours. I also own Jaguar Gold and I like that scent more. It almost smells like a car freshener.

Hands up for Jaguar Classic Red
I have this one now for a week and I have used it 3-4 times. And I will rate it somewhere between Love it and like it. Probably like it, just because I can not believe this to be a love for this price. Very nice fragrance indeed. Decent performance also.
Warm and sweet but not overwhelming.
Although it doesn’t match Allure Homme sport eau extreme, which is the best fragrance I have, performance wise, scent wise and versatility. Doesn’t have to be.
It only needs to match my new car, the Jaguar XF.
I am sure it will do just fine, after a few months once the beautiful new leather scent starts to dissipate.
belenetz – :
Another clean fresh, but sweet fragrance.
Which isn’t bad.
I like the body wash scent.
I get compliments on the clean smell.
Raspberry and tonka bean…nice
It lasts over five hours.
I am buying this again….Found a true gem.
Batch Number: 15D1313
Age: 25 and up….I picture wearing this, more than 25+.
Scent: 6/10
Value: 6/10 (Only cost $11.84 for a 3.4 Oz bottle)
Sillage: 6/10 (Arm’s length at best)
Longevity: 5/10 (Five hours)
Creativity: 6/10 (It’s okay at best…to me)
Versatility: Anytime & anywhere.
Compliments: 6/10

It’s sweet, really pleasant, vanilla, fruity, soapy, a bit woody and great value. Staying power and silage are good on me – in fact it has a really lovely silage. The silage makes this fragrance! Karine Dubreuil has blended some great perfumes and this is one of them. A delicious smell from Jaguar and Karine.
turoc1 – :
Pleasant fruity opening, later becomes ambery, vanillic – spicy, with touch of deep smoky woods. This makes it refined, elegant and expensive smelling. Sadly, longevity for me 2 hours, and 2 close to the skin. But i can’t complain too much, it’s a killer for this price.
Scent – 8
Longevity – 5
Sillage – 5
Versatility – 7
Price – 10
roska-586 – :
On my skin its beautiful… Remind me Eau des Baux…..
Deertiovere – :
After seeing the notes i saw its more fruity but amber is overtaking all and i can relish the sweet and fruity part much more
Average Sillage and longevity
But not too much for a Jaguar brand
Got no credit for this yet
Just cuz of an offer i took this but will not buy again
Better try the other versions
stanislav-spb – :
this could almost be a unisex fragrance,
simply too sweet, drydown is nice, definitely
not for those who like masculine perfumes.
efrem007 – :
any comment ?
kombit – :
just got this , and it smells pretty good , have to say it reminds me very much of Midnight in Paris Van Cleef & Arpels for men EXCEPT WITHOUT THE RUBBER smell . this smells more creamy and more sweet and more vanilla hints of raspberries , i love this much better than midnight in paris i have to say , first spray kinda smells alcoholic then instantly changes into all those other notes i just mentioned .good blind buy i rate this a 8.5 /10
Irishechka – :
At first this remind of Jaguar Vision…or better said, a lighter version of Jaguar Vision.
It doesn’t have the pineapple or red apple, but still the opening is absolutely fruity.
But the similarity stops there. Classic Red takes a amber and vanilla road, with some patchouli lingering.
The opening is quite daring (like on Jaguar Vision) for a men’s fragrance, because of the obvious fruits. But then it becomes refined, more masculine, like a guy who is very confident in his own skin.
The drydown is nice, similar to many other fragrances but it keeps sending sweet waves of amber and vanilla.

جذابیت این مدل از جاگوار بسیار دلفریب تر از مدل کلاسیک مشکی است همچنین گیرائی این رایحه وسوسه انگیز تر فعال تر برای ترکیبات خاص و نمایش فلفل بهمرا اوززن فشار پخش عطر در مکان ها و مسیر فرش قرمز مردان این رایحه را سوار بر ابر همچون یک ماشین جگوار قرمز سکسی تر از در تصویر ابرهای غروب کهروبا را در بالای درختان صدر در ذهن بنمایش میگذارد.
تصور استفاده گذشته خودم را در رایحه دانهیل قرمز یاد آوری میکند..
