A Signature Fragrance
Amber
Amber is an olfactory illusion, conjured from labdanum, benzoin, vanilla, and other resins to evoke the sun-soaked warmth of the Mediterranean coast. Its scent is both earthy and sweet, with a powdery undertone that mimics the richness of ancient incense.
Leather
Leather is more than just an aroma; it’s a texture, a memory of old books or vintage leather goods. Its scent can be earthy and warm, sometimes tinged with the subtle smokiness of tanning processes, evoking a sense of heritage and craftsmanship.
Vanille
Derived from the cured pods of vanilla orchids, this note is renowned for its rich, creamy aroma with hints of caramel and spice. Its origin traces back to tropical climates like Madagascar, where it thrives in lush, humid conditions. The scent evokes a sense of comfort and familiarity, reminiscent of warm, sunlit kitchens.

Amber Apple Cedar
Granny Smith apple and mandarin orange appear in both, so the fruit intensifies while Classic Amber's cinnamon, elemi and leather push Black's greener sea-water freshness toward something warmer and spicier. Amber and cedar tie the woody bases together underneath.
Spray Jaguar Classic Black first for the crisp green apple top, then follow with Jaguar Classic Amber at the chest so the cinnamon-leather warmth builds beneath it.
