For those of us who like Aqua Velva after shave, this is the closest equivalent in a cologne: a mentholated, spiced, and aquatic touch with patchouli, reminiscent of 70s and 80s barbershop scents like Magno La Toja. Very masculine. Reformulated, without the punch of the 80s, but it does the job quite well. Cheap price, around €7 at any supermarket in Spain; the only drawback is that it’s only available in Splash without a spray nozzle. Still a fantastic buy if you like these manly scents (abstain, young ones). This is for a grown-up man.
In Spain, November 2022: 200ml for €6. A gift from Mr Coty. Notes of basil, pineapple, soap, and blackcurrant. Sweet and green scent, quite long-lasting: about 6-8 hours on the skin with a projection of 3 hours. At work, a client wore this and I could smell it from a metre away; I didn’t ask, but I knew it was Jaq’s. It suited her well, so it could be unisex. It won’t be missing from my shelf.
Spain, €4.90 on Amazon for 200ml. A little more and they’d pay you to buy it. An atemporal elixir, reminding me of summer afternoons in the village, Team A, and a motorised lady searching for Jacq’s. Decent longevity within the perfume world generally, considering the price per millilitre, several designer brands should blush at their performance (hello Chanel). Classic but not outdated, at least for me. Among its peers, it’s better than Brummel and Impact; perhaps Crossmen is more elegant, but I choose Jacq’s. Quorum and Agua Brava play in a different league. It was about time it appeared on Fragrantica.

Very pleased. Reading a review about Brummel reminded me that Jacq’s wasn’t on Fragrantica for a long time. Without much hope, I just wanted to confirm, but I was pleasantly surprised to find I could finally review a fragrance I genuinely like. This chap opens warm and spiced, citrusy with a nice pineapple nuance, giving way to an intense, fruity, camphoraceous, green scent with a subtle anise note. I confirm it smells like a clean macho man, like old barbershop soap. Be careful with the quantities! This Jacq’s can knock you out for hours without you even blinking. I don’t think it’s suitable for coeliacs, vegetarians, lactose intolerants, or those allergic to cheeky humour. By the way, I had fun imagining that neither Jacq’s nor the leather-clad ladies seeking their men on motorbikes would pass today’s censorship (I see them being re-educated at the Ministry of Equality). I recommend trying it and advise you to turn a deaf ear if you plan to use it.
Very pleased. Reading a review of Brummel, I remembered that a long time ago Jaq’s wasn’t on Fragrantica, and just to confirm, I searched and was pleasantly surprised to see that I can finally review one of my favourites.

I don’t think it’s suitable for coeliacs, vegetarians, those intolerant to lactose, or allergic to cheeky humour. I’ve had fun thinking that neither Jaq’s nor the leather-clad ladies looking for Jaq’s on the back of their motorcycles would pass censorship today (I see them being re-educated at the Ministry of Equality). I recommend trying it and turning a deaf ear if you think about using it.
What a fragrance, gentlemen! This is the 80s bottled. Mix Cool Water and Drakar Noir and you have a fantastic trio. The advert of the blonde in leather on a motorcycle marked the lives of the lads of that era; this reminds me of Team A, The Supercar, Indurain’s Tours, and the Chanel Egoiste advert. I thought it would be in the style of Brummel or Quorum, excessively mature fragrances, but I was wrong. I tried it and took it home. It had a certain air of maturity, but those citrus and spices were wonderful. My girlfriend loved it; it soaked into the love letters I wrote her (before WhatsApp) and years later you could still smell it. When we go to Mercadona and I let her sniff it, a smile appears on her face and she tells me to buy it. It reminds me very much of the citrus opening of Chanel Antaeus, although Chanel’s drifts towards that animal note that reminds me of a grandpa in a corduroy suit and green beret; Jaq’s citrus notes stay put. I’m sticking with this. Clean, soapy feeling, and tremendously masculine. If you’re a man but inwardly a Disney princess or Barbie, don’t even try. This is for macho men. Decent longevity: 5-7 hours with tremendous 2-hour projection. Price: almost given away. Who doesn’t want to be Jaq’s? 😁
What a fragrance, gentlemen! This is bottled 80s. Mix Cool Water and Drakar Noir and you have a fantastic trio. The advert featuring the blonde on leather and a motorbike defined a generation. It reminds me of Team A, The Fantastic Car, Indurain’s Tour de France, and the Chanel Egoiste campaign. I always thought it would be in the style of Brummel or Quorum—excessively mature scents. I was wrong. I tried it and bought it. It had a certain mature touch, but those citrus and spice notes were wonderful. My girlfriend loved it. I used to dampen the love letters I wrote her (when WhatsApp wasn’t an option) with a little of this cologne, and years later, the scent could still be traced. When we go to the supermarket and I let her smell it, she beams and tells me to buy it. I must. It bears a striking resemblance to the citrus opening of Chanel’s Antaeus. The difference is that Chanel drifts towards an animalic note that reminds me of a grandpa in a corduroy suit and green beret; Jacq’s citrus stays true. I’m sticking with this. It gives a clean, soapy, and tremendously masculine impression. If you’re a man but consider yourself a Disney princess or Barbie inside, don’t even try. This is for real men. Decent longevity. 5-7 hours with a massive two-hour projection. Price: they almost give it to you for free. WHO DOESN’T WANT TO BE JACQ’S? 😁
You’re a treasure, Jacq’s. A fragrance for a proper grown-up man; steer clear if you’re a child of the tonka bean and today’s gourmand nonsense. This Jacq’s, alongside Quorum, Paco Rabanne Pour Homme, Aramis and Varon Dandy (my old Parera version), are timeless classics for real men. I thank God I can still enjoy them… and I have nearly 90 perfumes. Amen.
Well, good-looking and cheap. I like it, though my wife isn’t quite as keen. It’s a scent that evokes a mature man, perhaps a little too much. For me, it performs very well in heat and sweat. It lasts and covers well. It does exactly what it’s supposed to: smells pleasant all day. These days, it’s a bit unfashionable.
Good, handsome, and cheap. I like it, my wife not so much. A fragrance that evokes a mature man, perhaps excessively. In my case, very good performance with heat and sweat: it holds up and covers. It does what you ask: smells pleasant all day. Today it’s not very commercial.
Bought for 5 euros, Jacq’s is an 80s Perfume Masterpiece. When I was young and colognes were potent, no one wore this due to my young age. Now, at nearly 60 and collecting vintage scents, I came across this Jacq’s and my goodness, what a rich aroma, now it suits me perfectly. I do not recommend immature children wear this because the first thing they will say is that it smells like a grandfather. Grandfather? I have sold around 67 perfumes of today, including Arab ones, which NEVER gave me a miserable compliment; now the perfume life returns them to me in abundance since I started using Brummel, Agua Brava, Drakkar Noir, Kouros, Oscar de la Renta Pour Lui, Quorum, Crossmen… Now people ask me how well I smell. It is that today’s scents smell like cow dung, 80% effeminate and the rest I don’t know. This perfume has returned my confidence; I have been smelling my hand for 7 hours and there he is. It has had 40 reformulations, hehe, it is now when I find Jacq’s as in the advert, she didn’t find it but I found it. For 5 euros my goodness, what a perfume masterpiece, this smells like MAN with capital letters. Let them go to hell with children’s perfumes and welcome the 80s/90s and early 2000s ones. I forgot, it is a joy to open and close the bottle with the sound of the cap and the glass screwing. Regards.
With a collection including Orto Parisi, Francesca Bianchi, Tom Ford, Dior… I bought Jacq’s out of curiosity and damn, it smells wonderful! I didn’t remember it and it has impressed me. A good aromatic cologne. Objectively, it is a good perfume. Old school? Of course. Mature? Yes, but it does not smell like a carajillo or a bar with a toothpick in the mouth; it smells like a solid, established man. For the ridiculous 6€ of the 200ml bottle, it almost seems a joke that lasts 5-6 solid hours. It creates a stable bubble, very masculine, soft and pleasant. I love that it has no atomiser and must be applied to the skin with hands and sprayed on clothes. It is a delight. The most important thing: it smells very, very well.
It leaves me with a memory of the original from the 80s, the one in the square bottle with square shoulders and a small label, which with a single drop gave all-day projection. The modern bottle is rounded with ridges and smells similar but very watery, lacking the strength of the original. It earns compliments, especially from male colleagues at work. It does not attract female compliments because it is a clean, mature, and sober scent, not a flirtatious one. Ideal for the office with moderation.
Another trip back in time, especially in Spain. From its iconic 1988 advert featuring the leather-clad motorcyclist and zipper, right down to its ubiquity in chemists. It’s a robust splash cologne, wearable all year if you moderate the sprays; it projects strongly and can give you a migraine without ventilation. Designed to be the signature of a traditional, incorruptible gentleman. I was gifted a 250ml bottle in my pre-adolescence, a giant container for me then, which I saved for special occasions. Some friends remarked it smelled like ‘a card game in a bar of old men’, all in good fun, likely due to the anise and the strong green basil note. Over the years, through degradation, it has turned floral, softening its roughness and appearing as two perfumes in one. It is a Mediterranean classic, Spanish and Italian. A vintage reflection of an era. It currently costs around 15€/100ml. I recommend trying it first; this horse is not for everyone. Totally alien to current trends. I am pleased it is still commercially available and easy to find in any shop.
A very versatile and daily fragrance, usable all year, though it can become overwhelming in high heat. It opens with sharp citrus but quickly descends into an aromatic green accord where basil takes the lead. Longevity is regular, at least in the bottle I have (acquired in 2026); by the third hour, it sits close to the skin. But given the price, it can be reapplied without issue. A great scent for lovers of classics.
