About This Perfume
JAFRA JF9 Black comes across as Fresh citrus lavender cream with woody musk. It opens with bergamot, grapefruit and lavender, moves into geranium, cumin and jasmine and settles on amber, musk and patchouli. It leans masculine, though anyone can wear it.
This cologne is best in spring, fall and winter and is easy to wear day or night. A good pick for casual days, the office and date nights. Released in 2012.
In the community's experience it lasts a solid half day on skin, and stays close to the skin.
