Jefe

EVERY SEASON ALL DAY!!! Good lord, this perfume is great! A regular at our job came and sprayed it on himself, and the room was complements. I pulled out my phone and asked him immediately. It's delightfully fruity for a men's fragrance, and a showstopper!

Jefe is a pretty generic aquatic fragrance that is masculine and versatile. Although I'm testing it in winter and can be worn anytime of the year, it probably shines in summer. In a way, it's similar to Mikul (a blue fragrance) which I tested the other day, only Jefe has a noticeable aquatic accord that Mikul lacks. The aquatic accord is mild and watery - doesn't remind me of the ocean - just makes the fragrance fresh. No need to fear the ambergris note. I've certainly smelled something similar to Jefe many times (various Tommy Bahama and Acqua dell'Elba scents come to mind), so there's nothing ground breaking here. Performance is also moderate. If you are looking for a mainstream-pleasing and versatile aquatic and don't want true oceanic notes or something overpowering, give Jefe a try. UPDATE (1/18/2025): I've completed testing all of the Guy Fox fragrances available in their two sample sets. One set is for the "Founder's Reserve" Collection while the other contains all their standard releases. Here's my ranking of all of them, with a few notes: First group, ranked in order of my preference. These are the top Guy Fox fumes in my book - full bottle worthy, with Nightcap being the best: 1. Nightcap 2. Fairway 3. Vince 4. Nelson Second group, no rank or order, just grouped together. Nice scents. I like them, but not enough to buy a FB: Aspen Primo Mikul Jefe Preston Third group, no rank or order, just grouped together. OK, somewhat generic. Mediocre performance for some: Palmer Tyler Marra JP Fourth group. Just plain awful. Was almost a scrubber for me: Riviera

Middle aged Georgia cowboy here: Just got in my fragrance sampler (10 samples in just 3 days across the country - impressive) and Jefe is the 7th one I'm trying. This one is unique compared to the others I've tried below. It starts up quite orangey but quickly turns into an ocean scent with a clean hot sheets out of the drier smell. Quite clean and nice. I like alot. This would work best on a warm day or as a summer vacation scent. Oh, and I think it's pronounced "Heff-ay" with the J having the H sound but in my head I call it "Jeff-ie" with the J sound. Can't take the Georgia out of the boy ya know. For me 8.0/10. Of those in the sample I've tried so far from fave to least: Palmer (9/10) (piney/woodsy) Primo (8/10) (smoky/leathery) different from the others so far, very manly Jefe (8/10) (orangey then oceanic with clean hot linen) different from the others so far, very beachy JP (7.5/10) (limey/woodsy/classy) Vince (7/10) (limey/woodsy) Marra (6/10) (limey/woodsy) Tyler (6/10) (citrussy/coconutty/woodsy)

smells very similar to Grant. Jefe is by no means a bad fragrance, but it has this...what i can only describe as a "brown" smell. like you took a bite of an apple and laid it on the table for a few hours and the air hit it. has this fruity note that just reminds me of the smell of an apple that's started to turn brown.

Very good masculine freshy. Reminds me a lot of Ocean Noir by Michael Malul. Just not as good performance. Very solid if you’re new to fragrances or just want something simple.
