Top-Class Stuff from the 80s
This is top-class stuff from the 80s.
Everything about the scent is right. Quite animalistic, sweet-oriental-spicy, and at the same time pleasantly warm and very long-lasting.
Unfortunately, it is not possible to find out what good ingredients are in it. It leans towards Kouros + Santos + KL Homme. All three are, after all, unmatched perfume classics. JADE - Der Mann, Exklusiv can join that rank.
The name and bottle are rather old-fashioned and unfortunately suggest the wrong type direction.
I absolutely cannot understand the bad review of the After Shave.
JADE - Der Mann belongs to the group of totally underrated perfumes. The fact that there are no further info, photos, and statements here should not be assumed as a quality flaw. On the contrary, one either loves it or can't stand it. JADE der Mann, Exklusiv is niche with a lot of chest hair.

Aphrodisiac, fiery red sunset on the vibrating horizon
Almost identical, almost, … to Halston Z-14...
Vendetta simmers and bubbles subtly, it’s spicy, makes me quite frisky. Wow, it rarely happens that a fragrance triggers me so intensely and for so long internally. All the fragrance bells are ringing, “..must have it, must have it, I’m going completely crazy for it!”
Especially this clove, sweetly soaked in rum and patchouli with a hint of cinnamon on top, is like Christmas and a hot erotic summer night in the south of the 80s at the same time.
It can’t be true! Santa Claus, uh, I mean Klaus and Sophia Loren together?
Yesss!
With whom did Halston Z-14 get it on to produce such a hot little fruit?
If I were to call a perfume without aphrodisiacs an aphrodisiac, it would be Vendetta pour Homme by Edouard Fléchier from 1991.
Monsieur Fléchier had just come from Creation Montana d’Homme in 1989 and ignited the fire of Vendetta in 1991, only to find peace in Havana in 1996. The similarities are unmistakable. Cinnamon and hot exotic spice run like a red thread through all 3 perfume elixirs. Truly, they are. Eternal fragrance jewels, like fiery red sunsets on the vibrating horizon.
However, the name is a misstep, equating "blood revenge" with such sensual beauty is a sacrilege.

I was surprised by the leather in the early stages of the EdT. It doesn’t mention anything about it here, but it does on fragrantica.de and that matches the true scent:
The top notes are basil, bergamot, coriander, green notes, lemon, and aldehydes;
The heart notes are cinnamon, vetiver, cedar, geranium, jasmine, and patchouli;
The base notes are benzoin resin, oak moss, labdanum, leather, amber, tonka bean, and musk.

Common Italio-Macho in Herbal Soup
The scent is not a rarity!
I can't understand the praise here.
It starts sweetly lovely with bergamot, leather, and wood and remains pleasant in the heart note with additional rosemary and patchouli for a while. But then, in the base, the herbal witch's kitchen with oak moss, tarragon, and fern hits so dominantly that all the sweetness of the heart note disappears.
This herbal brew on the skin is something a man just wants to wipe off, and because one is not prepared for it, it becomes even harder to bear.
Where JAGUAR for Men enters a fine dance with the herb and stays with it, there is an extreme cut here. Unfortunately.
I have experienced this before with Arrogance, Basile Uomo, Battistoni Marte, and Paco Rabanne p.H., all of which also start promisingly and then end up in the herbal pot.
It seems to me that this is the fougère aspect that does not suit me.
So, if you’re not into Italian herbal soup on your skin and would rather wipe everything off with a bib, you should keep your distance here.
La Bella e la Bestia!

An 80s Fragrance with Plump 70s Femininity
sorry Camey,
but I must absolutely disagree with you. I don't smell anything that even remotely leans towards a masculine direction. Based on your description, I bid on a rare specimen on Ebay and I'm really stunned by how you go from Alpha 1 to BOSS 1?
Yes, it's true that this is truly a knockout fragrance dated back to 1980, but in reality, it's a true 70s scent. Where natural femininity was emphasized by such lush fragrances (that would be something for mini-golf). Characteristic of the 80s was that the boyishness in femininity was allowed to come to the fore and the feminine in men was no longer a source of embarrassment. Ziggy Stardust, New York Dolls, The Sweet, Alice Cooper, and many more celebrated the feminine side of men as stars on stage in the 70s, and in the 80s, it transitioned into the fashion mainstream. However, the 70s were extremely feminine, characterized by (for example) "Flower Power," cosmetics, Playboy (the image of women by men), and miniskirts - so were the fragrances. For men with thick sideburns and tight slacks, there was aftershave.
It opens with an opulent sea of flowers, perhaps lily, carnation, rose, lily of the valley?
Alpha 1 by Aubry swims in an egg-vanilla liqueur, very intoxicating and it extends and then transitions into a feminine-soapy scent. This is how the secretly sniffed ladies' restrooms used to smell with all their soaps and scented waters.
The floral-soapy-liqueur note remains dominant and lasts all day. No need for re-spraying.
Truly an alpha female in the 80s pack, without shoulder pads, carrot pants, and baggy hairstyles.

Men's Perfume in Perfection - A Union of Exoticism and Forest Delight
The JAGUAR (for men) leaps into the deep green and, as if in slow motion, brushes against exotic citrus, floral gardenia and garden carnation, the spice shrub of basil, lavender, thyme, and almost at ground level, fern, fir, and cedar, resting at the end of a heated day on a blanket of tobacco, musk, leather, and patchouli.
A union of exoticism and forest delight.
Sprayed on before bed, you wake up in the morning like Aladdin in a moss bed.
I know no men's fragrance that is as complex and intoxicating as JAGUAR for Men.
It takes patience and a love for the beauty of the highest perfume composition when embarking on this scent journey.
With this splendid specimen of an emerald deep green men's perfume, extremist Thierry Wasser has left his perfection in green.
I also tested the original 1988 version, but goodness, that one is really for grandpa... (maybe too much oak moss)!
This new green JAGUAR is one of the few successful reformulations of an 80s hit.
We men are allowed to experience the lovely and purring side of the green JAGUAR today, and that requires intense devotion (as it is with Felidae).
The bottle is also, in its reductive design, like a cut emerald. Held up to the light, the most beautiful green ever!
With this JAGUAR, which I rummaged out of a box of old perfume remnants, everything started again in early 2018 (my love for perfumes and my debut at parfumo.de). I wanted to sell it again but then gave it another chance overnight, and... my sleep was carried like a Persil-lavender-jasmine commercial. Wow! I could get addicted to this.
I tested all the flankers in well-known drugstores. No, let it be, there's nothing good there, the usual cucumber water stuff with JAGUAR on it.
What remains is this totally underrated JAGUAR in Green, with class, highest sillage, and depth reaching into Tolkien's greenest meadow valley. An emerald in my 80s collection.
Waidmannsheil!
