Jacques Bogart ('classic' / 'signature')




Bogart (1975) has been around for some time, and thankfully it smells as such. It's often referred to as 'classic' (maybe because of its age, or that it has a classic style) or 'signature' (the box shows a signature laid down by a nondescript fountain pen). Bogart is an old-fashioned mossy leather scent, supported with notes of lemon, rosemary, herbs, mild spices and a touch of florals - all seamlessly blended. There is a crisp freshness about it, a quality I often associate with aftershaves. I love most aftershaves. 

Bogart is surprisingly affordable, in most places. I also believe it to be reasonably distributed and available in several countries. It makes for an effortless, versatile scent, subtle and discreet but with adequate presence and duration. For anyone looking to establish or expand their scent wardrobe, this right here is a great starting point.

Hello ....

Welcome to my blog!

This blog is largely going to be about my musings on perfumes, one of my interests. More pertinently, it's something that I've been interested in for at least ten years. I intend to review some, talk about others, and go off in diverse directions but always return. 


Cheers!
