Jet Black Intense opens with a crisp, fruity aroma of apple and mint, layered over elemi and a hint of green freshness, evoking a Creed Aventus-style introduction. This early accord is bright and inviting, with notes of clary sage and juniper giving it a spiced, aromatic depth. As it develops, the fragrance settles into a woody-earthy base built around muted patchouli and suede, creating a quietly masculine, tactile scent reminiscent of a well-worn leather jacket. The initial burst fades remarkably fast, with most users noting only moderate longevity—some report lasting less than an hour, though others find it holds up moderately through the day. It is rated as unisex in design but overwhelmingly favored by men, particularly in day and night settings.
