Jacques Bogart Eau de Toilette Spray for Men, Multicoloured, 100 ml (Pack of 1)

Product Information

Super strong musk in the beginning and then it smooths out after 30 minutes into a fresh and spicy scent with bits of cream smell in there. The beginning is a pretty sharp bergamot rush that fades behind a warm curtain of tonka and lavender and a dash of florals humming in the background. Roucel is well known for the use of lavender in many of his creations, and this is not an exception, the good thing here being that it's not a harsh lavender like in Lancôme Hypnôse Homme. The Loewe has the same basics, the freshness and the evergreen masculinity, but its end is rounded off and smoother, lacks the peppery pointedness of this Bogart, and it carries me through the entire day.

Being a Bogart fragrance (and especially from the seventies), I also expected it to go beastmode and fill the room within seconds - but it doesn't. The laundry detergent-like, sharp/angular, green-tinged, white-flower aspect of the Bogart in particular seems to steal the show and drive it to its secluded log cabin that nobody else is known to have emerged from alive. I have to say the first blast is very synthetic and a little annoying to my nose but after 60 seconds or so it starts to emit a wonderful tobacco and slightly cherry scent even though they are not listed as notes. Its become cool enough that Zara recently came out with Leather Jardin, which is a masterful nod to this style of perfume. I think its the bergamot mixed with rose and tonka bean, it makes it smell like a red fruit of some sort and people are starting to believe the hype and think of Cherry when they smell this.In that respect actually could be an affordable alternative to Tobacco Reserve for those who missed the hype train on that. If you are looking for a classic, well-rounded fragrance that is affordable and long-lasting, then I would definitely recommend giving Bogart Eau de Toilette a try. You won't like this if you are only into freshies/blues/gourmands, and you probably won't be able to appreciate this unless you are at least 40 years old.

I'm a small time hobbyist/ collector and a Baby boomer so without further ado, it means I adore this scent. A previous comment mentions that this frag could be worn by a CEO that kicks asses (or something like that).very old school as it dries down i get a sharper and fresher quorum i much prefer it to quorum because of the sharpness it dosent really feel dated or "aftershavey" it just smells clean on top of that leather /oakmoss quorum type base .
