Jaguar Pace Accelerate

This one definitely exceeded my expectations. I bought it blind after reading a lot of positive comments on the original Pace but finding this flanker's note breakdown more interesting. Pace Accelerate is what I'd describe as a fresh, peppery, woody fragrance. I was pleasantly surprised by the depth here; it's definitely not a linear fragrance, with the citruses in the opening quickly giving way to juniper berry and pepper. I don't agree with either GPH II or Versace Eau Fraiche as a comparison because the clean feeling in this fragrance comes mostly from the juniper berry, not citruses, and the drydowns are not at all identical. I know "for the price" reviews are not exactly helpful because not everyone's budget is the same. That being said, you could do a lot worse for what this can be had for. Longevity isn't the best, but it's plenty acceptable at around 6 hours, and you can wear it anytime and anywhere. It's masculine and not overly synthetic-smelling. Can't ask for much more from a Jaguar fragrance. Bonus: the bottle is absolutely gorgeous! The stock photo doesn't do it justice.

Yes, this is it. No brainer musk fragrance. A tried and tested formula by the success of Bvlgari PH/Extreme and also Soir, and whether you get it for €100+ from a so-called niche brand or for €17 from Jaguar - which has quite some gems in the portfolio - doesn't change the outcome much. For those who are interested, the molecules primarily at play here are Iso E Super and Habanolide (a white musk with hot iron on fresh laundry kinda smell, slightly powdery and metallic, used in countless fine fragrances). The comparisons to Bvlgari PH/Extreme are spot on, as both Iso E Super and Habanolide make the core of those. Addition of vetiver, recalls EN Sport just a little, but only as much as any vetiver note does. EN Sport in its core still carries more vetiver than just a note, it's the main body of the entire EN line. Pace Accelarate is more in the vein of Dsquared2 Green Wood, where vetiver is very much toned down compared to EN Sport and heavy on Iso E Super. Overall, amazing easy musky fragrance that just smells clean and good at unbelievable low price point.

For some odd reason, this is a hard one to find in the U.S., but, man, am I glad I did. This fragrance goes through so many phases from open to close that I was completely taken off guard. It is very long-lasting, as well. It starts nice and fresh, clean ... then an hour or so later, here comes the heart. The cardamom doesn't show up until now, along with the juniper, coriander, and nutmeg. By the time it hits the base notes, on me, it smells like incense. So much so, that I had it on at work the other day, and I was in the Human Resources office. I asked them if they had incences burning. LOL! It wasn't until I got a whiff of myself when I got back to the office did I realize it had been me after all! This is great stuff, and you would be doing yourself a favor to hunt it down and get yourself a bottle before it's gone forever!

After about 30 minutes on my skin, it dries down to a scent that I can best describe as about 75% Versace Man Eau Fraiche and 25% Versace Pour Homme. Nothing new really, but it's pleasant. UPDATE: I frickin LOVE this stuff. It lasts forever on my skin. I can still smell it ON MYSELF after 5 hours, which is SUPER rare for me. I'm not a "fraghead" and I'm not good at describing scents (For example: Everyone says Sauvage smells "clean" and "fresh"...I think it smells spicy), so take what I say with a grain of salt...but my above description of the scent is I think pretty accurate. By the way, anybody know why this is so hard to find? Was it a limited edition?

I frequent this latino night club once a week for a couple of years now.. It's the sort of place where it turns from restaurant to nightclub on the weekends and it's always full of ladies. I've tried every hyped fragrance and NEVER have I received the complements I'm getting wearing this fragrance! I don't know what it is about it (maybe the fact that no else wears it,) but it's working wonders. All I can say is I'm glad I picked this up in Europe (since it's not available here in the states,) because I have a unique scent profile. Bravo!!
