Not just for cowboys
Dear Apicius, I am so glad you liked Jackeroo. It is a light, summery scent that can be worn around the office without being too noticeable. The quiet achiever. It seems that "Ugly Bastard" did not suit you too well and your description was good. I am curious as to whether you smoke? Heavy or light? Do you eat a lot of red meat or vegetarian? All this can change our own scent. I remember my father's shirt smell. Some men have intolerably bad socks. It may be interesting for you to complete our survey on www.budparfums.com. Anyway, I do enjoy your comments and keep up the good work. As they say, "Ich rieche, also bin ich". Cheers, Howard.

Healthy Vitamin Snacking!
Some perfumes are really difficult to describe, especially when the manufacturer does not publish a fragrance pyramid. With Jackeroo, I really have to give up - it seems that some fragrance notes were chosen that lie outside the usual and well-known.

Jackeroo is a cheerful perfume, a truly lovely feel-good scent. This is due to a slightly tipsy fruity note - at first glance, it reminds one of pineapple, although it certainly isn’t. Perhaps mandarin peel, perhaps passion fruit - it smells a bit like how multivitamin juice tastes, just much, much more subtle. Maybe there are also citrus notes in the broadest sense, but nothing that would be recognizable from hundreds of other perfumes. Great, so there’s really something new to discover here!

This fruitiness is paired with notes that could possibly be described as green. Behind it lies something slightly bitter, resinous - but so subtle that no familiar base can be identified. At the beginning, I briefly had the impression that a hint of licorice-like cashmere wood was involved.

In between, there’s a hint of flowers. For a moment, I thought I detected a urinous note that might suggest some jasmine.

Oh well, I give up. This extraordinary, fruity-green scent cannot be broken down into two or three known notes. So, the only option left is to attempt to describe the character. Somehow, Jackeroo is a combination of fruity and green, with a slightly alcoholic undertone for me. This somewhat tipsy perfume is indeed something special. Jackeroo is a light perfume, certainly nice, but not only suitable for summer - it is not a freshness or citrus bomb.

With Jackeroo, the customer primarily acquires a special fragrance experience. A rather fruity than citrusy accord is set on a bitter-spicy base. The projection is weak - with this unusual scent, that’s acceptable. Jackeroo is a nice alternative to well-known summery citrus perfumes, although it seems that fans of slightly orangier citrus scents might find more enjoyment in Jackeroo. If someone likes Clinique Happy for Men, they might also enjoy Jackeroo.

I like Jackeroo - I can imagine wearing this pleasant perfume occasionally.

Silver Morning Mist Over the Prairie
This is a wake-up scent for men who saddle their horses at dawn to quickly check the fences around the pasture.
First of all, I want to point out that this fragrance reacts completely differently on the test strip than it does on my skin.
The dot on the paper clearly reveals citrus top notes. Not sharply citrus, but rather a mix of mandarin peel and lime. While this lasts relatively long and then shifts into a very slightly silver-green direction, Jackeroo on the skin begins directly with a green-floral note after a brief citrus burst. We’ve already encountered this floral for men story elsewhere, but more suited for the evening. I think of the Flowers for Men series by Morris or Dark Rose by Czech and Speake, but also Black Tie, the absolute floral scent for men.
Jackeroo is definitely made for the day, the very early day. Some would label it an office scent. Despite an underlying sharpness, it is a light fragrance. In the middle development stage, bright floral tones appear. But don’t worry, these flowers are presented in a masculine way. How is that possible? No idea, they are sharp flowers, rather white, not sweet. A morning dew-fresh bouquet with plenty of silver baby’s breath. There is a base that neither drifts too woody nor too leathery. More like a freshly cut willow branch, spring wood-green. Mr. Jarvis really doesn’t make it easy with his restraint regarding the ingredients.
I find Jackeroo beautifully fresh, subtly masculine, and it stays relatively close to the wearer. No one will be overwhelmed here. I am very curious to see what men will say about it.
