If this is the 'Frozen Cologne' you are talking about, its absolutely stunning!

Lemon Mangarin Bergamot, somewhat oriental in its own way.

Good Choice!

I have never bought any fragrances except very early on, but somehow
I have multiple bottles of one particular, and only that one particular,
fragrance in my possession. Enough to last a lifetime.

No, it hasn't been listed in any of the posts yet
Do tell Plums, I'm sure we would all love to know.

Obviously not a proper Jaaag! Along with the old leather where is the damp, mould, petrol and exhaust smell?
When I get off my boat I just smell of diesel.

Hi OB, this sounded like a "paulyling" thread(lol) but after reading you northerners are a bunch of softies wearing man fragrances to hide the blood sweat and beers of maintaining your car. Down here we smell like "sweat and beers" on a test drive after spannering our Jags.

"Down here we smell like "sweat and beers" on a test drive after spannering our Jags."

...is that just the women?


In my youth, I always started off smelling of aftershave when leaving the house to go on a date. But I invariably arrived also with "petrol breath" from having to syphon petrol from a mate's car after running out of petrol before I got there.

Happy Days! The smell and taste of modern unleaded petrol just isn't the same is it?

Fair Point well made but most of the time I look like a bag of old spanners, torn jeans and filthy 'T' Shirt, which is just the thing for rolling around underneath the Car.

But not all of the Time!

As when I go out in the XJS I like to look and also smell a little bit like I am worthy of owning such a nice Car.

You are right, that is just the women. The blokes smell like (4 twenty) and petrol as well.

If you ever need an After Shave to match it, there is one called 'Lucky You'
like a walk on a freshly cut lawn just after the rain and certainly not overly expensive.

Or If not try 'Mugler Cologne'
id love to have a DIESEL Jag, especially a V12 diesel, the new diesel fuel has very little oder/smell!

Brute is a well worn Classic that has stood the test of time.

But Gio by Giorgio Armani?

Do you mean Acqua Di Gio?

Not for nothing was this the No1 seller in the USA

Jasmine/Rosemary/Cedar/Musk

A unique and timeless Fragrance, that will always have the Compliments coming your way.

This is an absolute Stunner of a Fragrance.

Excellent Choice It simply smells Amazing!

Yes, Acqua Di Gio. I like it because it is not over powering when used in moderation.

I was hoping you would say Acqua Di Gio which is a Mens Fragrance

As Gio by Georgio Armani is a Womans Perfume (and a very nice one too!)

Acqua Di Gio

You have almost Certainly picked on a Winner with this!

One of the most Popular Mens Fragrances on the Planet and not without good reason.

Its just so good that its almost too good and something of a must have in anyones collection.

Very light and Citrus like, with a woody jasmine dry down and so fresh and versatile that you could really wear this anywhere.

Walk into a room while wearing this and you won't be forgotton for all the right reasons.

This Frangrance is just incredible, there's not much more to say.

Im gonna jot all this down for when i run out of Red. Ha ha such a player OB. You know those fragrances like fine wine by the sounds of it!

So I take it you guys dont use air freshners in your cars as you are already smelling potent?

I love my XJS to smell good when I hop into it after 4 weeks at sea so I get my wife to put in an air freshener. Once you break the seal (she doesnt drive it) after 1 month its smellin Sea Mist fresh! (thats the one I bought last time anyway)

Yes I was kind of wondering when someone would bring this up, though there are many Jaguar Fragrances on the market.

My own personal pick of the bunch being 'Jaguar Classic Amber'

Cedar, Patchouli, Vanilla, Leather, Labdanum and Musk

If you can get a Tester of this sprayed on the back of your wrist, then I wouldn't mind betting that you won't stop smelling your arm.

Its a very, very nice one!

But always best to try before you buy.

No! no! no! Bro! that's not the way to go Bro!

Air Freshners in an XJS is one step away from 'Dangling Dice' on the rear view mirror!

Best to keep an empty bottle of your current fragrance in the Car with the Top off.

And then when you run out of Red treat yourself to a bottle of Acqua Di Gio

Its as Classy as the Car Bro and as Five Star as the gas you put in the tank!

Dabs Jag certainly knows a thing or two!
