Jaguar Vision

Jaguar became a great brand of male scents for me. First of all, I bought Jaguar for Men. Then, I met Prestige, which I gave as gifts to some people, always receiving good feedbacks about it. Moreover, I have always read good comments about the other colognes from Jaguar. So, I decided to take a risk with this one. And the motivation, of course, was the comparison people do between this one and Creed Aventus. Is it true?? Well, I’m gonna start talking about its amazing bottle. I adore male bottles with straight and heavy lines, like in Dior Homme, DKNY Men, Very Irrèsistible, etc. Jaguar Vision is another one of these, which beautifies any collection, showing power and virility when contemplated. The fragrance is awesome. As soon as I applied it, I felt like a pineapple in syrup, something fruity and liqueur. After 15 minutes, this sensation turned into a dense smell, where the sweet smell start mixing with the cedar and apple. Two hours later, the smell remains the same but allowed the ambery base to be noticed keeping, however, its linearity. And this is Jaguar Vision: a scent with no variations, no great magic during its evolution, but with a delicious smell. What about that Aventus thing? Well, I think that people are too practical when they give their opinions, but they forget that hundreds of other people will take their words into account in a future purchase. I see this all the time! That’s why I always try to show the real sensation of a fragrance, with no hurry, no exaggeration. This is my contribution to the perfumery world. This being said, I would say: I know Aventus and there is a similarity between them. But it’s only a SIMILARITY! It is that moment when a nuance reminds you of other cologne, without being equal. For instance, Cuba Gold and Le Male: they are similar, but not equal. If you know them, you will get the differences. To me, when I risk saying that some cologne is equal to another one, it’s because it has been through the limit of being similar, being identical, like Cool Water and Quasar (from the Brazilian brand O Boticário). So, when I read “Vision is equal Aventus, just cheaper”, I disagree. This must be posted for some lazy person, who had the help of other lazy people, and this became known like this. Actually, Aventus has some notes that Jaguar Vision hasn’t, like bergamot, blackcurrant, birch, rose, and vanilla. I could create a new fragrance with those notes! Yet, talking about similarities, I could also say that there are similarities between Jaguar Vision and Black XS (after two hours). To sum up, if you would like to know how Aventus smells, but you never had access to Creed’s perfumes, then try to know Jaguar Vision. You will get a wonderful notion of Aventus, without spending too much money. But, be aware that they are not equal and, in my opinion, if you have financial conditions, buy both, because one can’t replace the other.

here's my review for the Jaguar Vision III. not the one that listed on this page. those 3 are totally different in terms of scent. i got the Vision III. here's my thought : for the price? its a STEAL like any others said. it smells synthetic , but it SMELLS GOOD ! so why do we have to complain regarding this? Smoky pineapple-ish in the opening, wait for 15-20 mins, you get that apple notes followed by "something" seductive like erm.. i've no idea what notes is that, but it does smells good. erm its like.. something sweet yet spicy. whether it's a cardamom or the amber. but it's just make me keep sniffing my wrists during that period of time. after that "period", it dries down into something masculine - warm - woody type of a fragrance, its just great. and comparison with Aventus? since i havent smelled aventus yet, so i cant give any comments for this. but,if Aventus does smells like this, i'd be glad that i got those vibe for IDR255.000 (around $15-$18 converted. and yes it's a full 3.4oz bottle) and i do like it's presentation, its like the HEAVIEST bottle that i own. solid black transparent looking glass. well done Jaguar ! Scores : - Scent : 8 out of 10 (smoky pineapple, slightly sweet on the opening, that turns into something masculine in the drydown) - Longevity : again, here's the pros. it lasts for about 6 hours, which is great for the price. you really cant ask for more. 9 out of 10. it becomes skin scent after 3-4 hours - Projection : moderate. - Silage : nice trail for about 2-3 hours. 8.5 out of 10 - Versatility : its pretty versatile. daytime, night time, casual. but i wont pick this for formal occasion or something "serious". quite playful scent. Overall : Give it a try !

This juice is amazing. Pineapple, lemon, apple with mellow wood and it never loses its sweetness. It does get more subtle and a bit less sugary but man.. it just rounds out like a champ. Not a lot of wood.. it just supports the fruit notes. It opens with a blast of pineapple and after about 10 min it takes a passenger seat, and the rest of the fragrance starts coming through. I will say it’s very sweet. Very. So if you like dry fragrances know this a juicy fruity sweet scent. It’s not Aventus (duh).. or an Aventus clone to my nose. Similarities.. I guess, but so do others that have pineapple.. lemon.. wood notes etc. With Aventus I get more apple/pineapple and freshness (green and birch). This is sweet lemon and pineapple that becomes fresh. The dry down reminds me of Aventus but I wouldn’t say, “Hey that guys wearin an Aventus clone!”. What I would do is ask what it was and where he got it. Budget compliment monster for sure. My favorite Jaguar, but I’m partial to fruity sweet scents. This was a blind buy and it’s in rotation like a number one hit. A younger scent IMO and a definite club banger for my style. Jaguar did it with this one. Longevity is ok, projection is ok, dry down smells heavenly. Performs well in winter (clubbing), not sure about outside.. but why would I be outside, its winter. Overall.. amazing juice. Update: one year later (2019) and I smile every time I spray this. Update 2 (11/23/24): 5 years later and I still love this scent. The only downside is I don’t get great performance. I might buy a backup or two. Just to have.

There is just something about this scent that I've fallen in love with! Be forewarned-if your not a fan of sweet frags, stay far away from this one. It's a hyper sweet, candied fruit smell...and honestly, pretty feminine to my nose. Can't think of a scent I own that is sweeter than this.(and I own/have owned most:) I do get a very slight similarity to Black XS L'exces, but that Paco Rabanne creation had a nagging metallic note mixed in with the sweet pineapple smell that would never go away and make my stomach turn. Thankfully, Jaguar doesn't have that. I can't say Vision smells "natural",(because it's completely unnatural for any fruit to smell this SWEET!lol)but it does smell delicious and no aroma chemicals smashing you in the face. On me, this fragrance seems to have pretty mellow projection....but the longevity is very good. Which is perfect IMO, because a scent like this you don't really want overwhelming you or someone close to you. That could get old real quick. Instead I get slight, pleasant wafts throughout the day while wearing it. Extraordinary and unique cheapie that is among my favorites.:)

WOW, what a pleasant and invigorating scent. For ages I haven't been so wonderfully surprised with a fragrance than with this one, and so different. It is very sweet so I am not very sure about its masculinity, but who cares? The fruit in the top are so ripe and delicious that one second later decay would be certain. Pineapple and apple are made quite creamy by the cardamon. the citus note follow side by side as part of the scent as its frindges. The base is just that. although I find Vision very apealling I can't make up my mind to when or how it is better worn. In my mind there is a "not after noon" sort of feeling, sort of inverted Cinderela. I am afraid it is just too playful and young for anyone above 20, perhaps? Nice scent exprience at a coke price.

This is shockingly affordable but one of my absolute favorite casual fragrances. Very strong fruity-musky-amber opening - and I really enjoy the pineapple note in this - the cedar, patch and cardamom notes are more noticeable as it dries down. For me it's backup-bottle-worthy. Not that it's gourmand sweet, but you do have to enjoy sweet fragrances in general to like this one, I think. One Million and Ultramale really reset the sweetness scale for men's fragrances, compared to them this is down a notch or two. I get the Aventus comparisons - inevitable with that tasty pineapple - but for me that scent is utterly defined by the smoky-birch notes so I'd still say CDNI is much more of a clone than this one is.

Now, how could this has happened???. A "cheap" fragrance maker (Jaguar), and a young pupil of Michel Almairac (Amandine Marie) got together to give us the following; 1- One of the best and high quality designed bottles ever, anywhere. 2- One of the most elegant, sensual, and long lasting, fruit/sweet/woody ever. 3- One of the best, if not the best, price vs. fragrance quality ratio ever! ($19.95 for a 3.4oz of this!!!!!) Now, this is a wake up call!. Either Jaguar is giving these away (those Socialist English!, LOL), or almost everyone else is stealing from us.......I'll go with the second one.

for the price its a steal... -heavy and good quality bottle -beautiful pineapple and citrus notes -decent longevity -so darn cheap it often confuses you with the aventus like opening, but its not close enough to call it an aventus clone.its so so good, ill personally add this to my collection , its great on its own, not bad jaguar, not bad at all.after the jaguar gold, this is my second favorite from their house 7.5/10

Very good, indeed, Cassiano. That is precisely what we all should do here, but unfortunately... Thanks for the tips on Vision/Aventus. I wear fragrances on a daily basis mainly to work, don't have any glamorous agenda, so I will not spend what nich scent requires you to do. But Jaguar Vision is quite accessible . Thanks, JM

I have both Vision and Aventus. Vision is sweeter and the pineapple is sharper. Aventus is a little darker and boring imo. Some might prefer the drydown in Aventus more, but it reminds me of a less synthetic Curve. EDIT: 6/13/12 Aventus white still overrated, is the better choice hands down. I didn't give it long enough.

Vision has got so much character. It's so noticeable. Woody, fruity notes so well blended. The Jaguar line is all good, this is one of the best. Longevity and silage are stellar on me. A lovely heavy monolith type bottle and a gorgeous liquid within. You can't go wrong here. It's a gem

An amazing and really good value juice. A fruity, sweet, cedar and potent juice from Jaguar with bags of character. In fact, one the nicest cedar based frags out there with an excellent silage. In a heavy, quality bottle. Lasts ages and is gorgeous. This is in my top 10.

It seems a more refined, more well-rounded Black XS by Paco Rabanne. Very good. Remember, the Vision II is also an excellent fruity!

it smells like Mage D'Orient Comptoir Sud Pacifique

I have a bottle of this perfume produced in 2014. There is little juice left in it. The perfume has a beautiful opening, according to my taste, it is the most beautiful phase of the perfume, where the wonderful smell of pineapple with cardamom, and these notes I like very much. In the middle of the perfume we find the smell of red apple, which I also like very much with the smell of wood, but it is not a rough woody or dry harsh smell. In the end, the fragrance becomes sweet due to the tonka bean and amber. So it is an agreeable sweet scent and not a blatant . simple scent. Jaguar's house tried to employ pineapple, which has become very popular with the masses. After the success of (The King) Creed Aventus, as well as investing in the direction of Sweet perfumes that modern perfumes followed. Jaguar Vision is a pleasant, modern youth fragrance that is acceptable. It is useful for light outings with friends or for shopping, as well as for the university, and there is nothing wrong with the office. It is a casual and not formal fragrance. The longevity of the perfume is very satisfactory, with a medium sillage and projection. The perfume bottle serves its purpose, is not special, and the price is affordable, you can wear it in spring, autumn and even summer.

If you were to conjure up a masculine fragrance answer to pineapple upside down cake or those pineapple shortbread type cookies you might find in certain asian markets, this is very close to what you'd wind up with. In a good way... At the top, you get a very pleasing lemon-brightened pineapple accord with just a touch of apple. As bright and optimistic as any fruit accord I've picked up in a fragrance. After the top notes recede a bit, you get this almost cakey amber-tonka-cardamom combo behind the pineapple, with just a touch of muskiness to make it at least somewhat credibly masculine. But in reality, I think anyone could rock this stuff. My only real knock on it is that it's really quite shy, requiring major overspray for any kind of projection. And regardless of dousing, it simply doesn't last, which is just a shame. This fragrance is not about being taken too seriously, but it's a damn nice fragrance anyway (knocks aside), and at an almost giveaway price. I can see wearing this for an occasional uplift... or at the office as a nice, polite olfactory break from reality... just do yourself a favor and bring along a decant to reapply every other hour.

A fruity, fresh scent for those hot days I blind purchased this scent based on reviews. All in all, not a bad scent for the price (usually ~$20-25). The scent comes off as fresh and fruity from the gate, and dries down to the same. It is not a bad scent, just not terribly original. It sorta has that new car feel. Not bad, just not great. Longevity is average, at around 4-6 hours. Projection is about the same. It lingers well for the first 2 hours or so, and then dissipates to a raging skin scent. All in all, BUY, TRY or PASS? TRY if you have the chance, otherwise you are only out around $20 on this one. I like to wear it on my days off, when I don't want to use my more expensive colognes, or when I have to run to the post office. It is just nice enough to project positively, but not out there enough to get noticed. Longevity: 5/10 (4-6 hours) Projection: 6/10 (Projects for about 2 hours, at maybe 6-8 inches) Smell: 6/10 (Fruity, fresh, clean...a good summer backup scent) Versatility: 6/10 (Best for hot days/ seasons...would not wear well in cold months)

I don't get Aventus at all, maybe barely with the pineapple. I get some part in this that is synthetic like the patchouli or the red apple. This is a good fragrance but one thing in here just doesn't smell that great. Maybe the musk is just screaming a little too loud. I enjoy wearing this though but I don't know if others will like this as much. It is a fruity sweet type of fragrance and it's musky as well. I think this is good far the fall because of it's dark and fruity aspect. To me this is more of a personal fragrance that I like but that sweet apple note can annoy me a little bit. This is the same type of apple sweet that is in Dunhill London if you have smelled that one. It's good overall and maybe others will like this one more than I do. It's not bad but it's not the greatest. If you're looking for an Aventus clone I would not go for this because the fruits and overall structure are different. Not bad by Jaguar though and it's a good price. Rating- 79/100

Years ago, I was searching for an uber fruity men's fragrance. Had I found Jaguar Vision back then, I don't think I would have ever expanded my tastes in fragrances or my wardrobe. This is a superb fruity men's cologne. It opens with a burst of syrupy, juicy pineapple. The red apple is there to offer even more fruity sweetness. I can't praise the opening - it smells like a sweetened pineapple syrup. After about an hour, the fragrance drydowns to a creamy scent that lasts. It definitely has the DNA of PR Black XS just without the signature sour, loud strawberry accord and the spicy, prickly patchouli. In fact, I would not doubt if Jaguar Vision inspired the house of Paco Rabanne to create Black XS L'Exces - which is a super acidic sour pineapple flanker stomping on top of the Black XS DNA. Jaguar Vision is better in that the pineapple is better executed than L'Exces. The bottle is so gorgeous with its hefty weight and looks opulent.
