Jacques Bogart One Man Show Eau de Toilette Spray for Men 027008

Product Information

The base of the fragrance is almost the same as mid and it's a semi sweet, warm and kind of bitter green, woody and floral scent the overall smells really nice. Bogart's One Man Show has a reputation preceding it, of its hyper masculine demeanour, and being able to clear rooms on account of its strength. While all of this is rather exaggerated, there is indeed an element of truth. I find One Man Show to be dry, sharp and even aggressive at times. It opens with a sharp accord of citrus, basil and galbanum; very soon the leathery attribute announces its presence, and this feature is similar to leathers such as Versace L'Homme and Van Cleef & Arpels Pour Homme. There's an astringency in One Man Show, and this persists throughout the mid phase where the herbal elements persist, there is an added note of incense, and any floral element is barely discernible. In the base I register some mossy woods and labdanum. Duration is excellent and sillage is good based on a moderate application.

Finally Lonja had his own bottle of "One Man Show", because if there was a nomen omen here, I thought, then he definitely needed his personal "copy". The heart consisted of wood notes, classically male in connotation, not surprising, but extremely sympathetic, without fuss, without disturbing accessories. "Do you wear this a lot?" I wanted to know. "No, only on special occasions. I didn't take him to Germany. That's why you don't know him. My father also sprays himself with it sometimes and we only have one bottle to share." As the top notes gently fade, the heart of the perfume reveals itself. Here, the distinct, smoky essence of frankincense takes center stage, fused with the exotic, woody scent of Lebanon cedar. Cascarilla lends a mildly bitter twist, while nutmeg and patchouli sprinkle a hint of warm, earthy spice. A whisper of sandalwood softens the blend, infusing it with a subtle, creamy sweetness.

Key Notes of One Man Show

OMG, is this a gorgeous perfume! Saw it online for practically nothing and bought it for hubby to try. It manages to have the notes I love in women's perfumes while being thoroughly male, thanks to galbanum, frankincense and the woods. Will add more details later as I study the drydown but, trust me. Buy it, guys. You'll never be sorry. It's the kind of fragrance that, in my younger days, would have riveted my attention long enough to find out who was wearing it. Projection is really good and solid and longevity can easily reach 8 hours and more so don't worry about them. The top note literally exploded before us: freshness, energy, spice. Very hands-on, loud. Very 80's, even though we were in the 90's.

The bottom notes brings out musky tobacco tones and subtle cedarwood, and it lasts and carries very well. The sillage is well above average and projection is very good. With a generous application I am getting 10-12+ hours of longevity with solid performance throughout the day. We both know that the shows you liked a lot in your youth can be replaced by other spectacles and performances in the course of your life.

Review of One Man Show

The whole performance right from the start till the end is a classic journey so if you're not into classic fragrances in general ... stay away! To be honest I didn't expect that much from this fragrance based on my experience with "Silver Scent" also from the brand which is terrible in my opinion but "One Man Show" really surprised me! One Man Show by Jacques Bogart is a fragrance that resonates with a confident masculine appeal. The initial scent is a bold combination of fresh, tangy grapefruit and aromatic basil, punctuated by the sharp, citrusy tones of Italian bergamot. This is gently balanced with the soothing, floral notes of ylang-ylang, jasmine, and rose, with a dash of Brazilian rosewood adding complexity. You wore it to our wedding party at the Hotel Kosmos, where there was a bottle of vodka per capita for every guest. You smelled like One Man Show when our daughter started school in Vladimir. And you had that smell on you the last time I kissed you goodbye at Sheremetjevo II Airport in our life together.
