Jaguar Classic Black, released by Jaguar in 2009 and composed by Dominique Preyssas, is a woody fragrance with spicy, citrus and gently sweet sides. It is fresh at first, then warms into a smooth woody base.

The opening combines mandarin and bitter orange for a zesty, bittersweet citrus start, with Granny Smith apple adding a crisp, green fruitiness. In the heart, tea brings a dry, calm freshness, nutmeg and cardamom add aromatic spice, geranium a rosy-green touch and sea water a light marine note. The base of Virginia cedar, sandalwood, white musk, vetiver and tonka bean dries down clean, woody and slightly sweet.

Most people report moderate longevity, with a minority finding it weak, and sillage is mostly moderate. It is voted for spring and summer and leans towards daytime wear. That makes it an easy everyday scent for the office, casual days and warmer weather, suited to someone who wants something fresh and inoffensive.
