Nice Generic Aquatic
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
