Jako is an ultimative masculine spicy-woody composition by Karl Lagerfeld, introduced in 1998. It was inspired by Jako fairy, constructed on the coast of the Elba River in neo-Greek style, and dedicated to a modern, fascinating and sensual man. Spicy fresh notes of grapefruit, together with sweet tangerine, bergamot and sweet gourmand plum, open this seductive perfume. Sweet spicy nuances of cardamom, Indian ginger and Brazilian rosewood are in the contrast with the fresh opening notes of citrus, which give the boldness to the perfume. The base is caressed by powdery Indian sandal, dimmed Arabian incense, musk and gentle vanilla notes. Jako is available in the amount of 30, 75 and 125 ml in Eau de Toilette; 75 and 125 ml after-shave, deodorant in stick in the amount of 90 gr, 150 ml deodorant, and 200 ml shower cream

I do not find this to be a sweet fragrance, though there might be a tiny amount of sweetness (meaning this is miles away from A*Men sweetness). What's amazing here is how subtle it is, yet the notes are there and the ingredients seem to be very high quality. This is not a party fragrance for the Jersey Shore guys. This is for the aficionado. Projection ("sillage") is no better than moderate, but longevity is very good. If you are used to Le Male, 1 Million, etc., just forget this one for the time being, and if you find yourself getting headaches from your scents, you might want to give this one a try at that point.
On me it`s a soft powdery citrus fruity scent. The opening has a quick combo of the citrus aromas, dominated by the bergamot, which fades to a plum aroma. It`s one sweet and discreet sugared and it makes me think of a plum body lotion produced by O Boticario. The base is musk dominant on me, very discreet, a little bit creamy and woody. It`s an easy to wear fragrance that reminds me something of Chopard Casran.
I miss this, and the worst part is, the only thing I can remember is that it was a sweet/woody masculine scent. I had 2 bottles, and they were gone within a year (1999), and then I could not find it anymore. Have not tested it since then..........SAD!
One of the best Sweet Fragrance out there. Lovely scent and the After Shave has even more Sillage then the EDT. I love both but the EDT has a Creamy drydown uncomparable to anything else. Sad the longevity is poor on me or its stays close to the skin what is sad.
Worst ever could happen its discontinnued and so i bought everything i could find to save this masterpiece for me. I think 10 Bottles should be enough :-)
Dominating plum note, with some spices and woody freshness
And yes, I would have to agree. Dried fruits is a very good way to describe this scent.
I think it smells a bit like eucalyptus as well.
Hi people,i'm looking for this Fragrance if anyone has it please contact me and let me know where i could get it from.
Thanks

one of my favorite...So sad I can't find it again...
had it long time ago.... in 1998- '99. Was one of my fav. hard to find nowadays.
I bought this scent recently , and I have to say I agree with 'bronstein's' review (about how similar this smells to dried fruits ). What I would say is that it smells more like the dried fruit you get in pot pouri , Imagine mixing the dried fruit in scented fruity oil then going back to smell it some time later . I personally like it and I think it smells quite unique (as in non generic) Love the plum scent and mixed with the sandalwood base I find I keep going back to this fragrance :), I would say its for cooler weather -I'm not sure how this would smell in a warm enviroment ie club /pub etc .
i lost it. i miss it. it's so unique. so mine.
the aftershave balm is great
This is a stunning fragrance and if God was to wear aftershave this would be the one
pity its discontinued so i am off to bulk buy
It smells a bit like dry fruits. I'm also not sure if this one's good or not, let alone whether it's a good idea to wear something like that.
Well, at least Lagerfeld manages to continue its distinctive feature of releasing controversial male fragrances. Someone out there loves it, else it would have been discontinued.
i used this scent several times, but still can't make up my mind whether it's good or bad. it's spicy-gingery-incense or citrus-incense. it's more suitable for spring and fall rainy days, inmho
Довольно не плохо, что Карл Лагерфельд помимо одежды создает и ароматы.
