Bogart Pour Homme

THE GANGSTER SCENT - A LAVENDER & TONKA GRENADE ! I paid attention to this fragrance after watching Lex Ellis - "Fragrances with Ellis" on YouTube - featuring one video called "Fragrances for Gangsters" or a similar name. That happened some 9 years ago and I still love this perfume nowadays. I remember to have bought it together with another Bogart cologne - Silver Scent Intense, which I still highly praise as well. Now Bogart Pour Homme... What an amazing fragrance. It is really a hidden gem! From the first spray you know you are scenting something very special. Vibes of respectful powerhouses arise from Caron's Pour Un Homme, Boss No 1, Aramis 900, and Lapidus For Man, ... None of those is similar to Bogart Pour Homme, but they make you feel the same type of sensations. It's an association you make between bold, respectful, almost intimidating manly fragrances. At home, children adore it... even my dogs like it very much. The ladies of my life (four of them) never identify the fragrance but often praise it. Probably they know that secretly I turn into a gangster when I use it 🙂 BPH is an almost linear fragrance with a fresh opening of average citrus and strong lavender. That dilutes itself in a strong cherry tobacco vibe and dries down with very pleasant notes of tonka and patchouli. Somewhere along this evolution, I devise a faint similarity with Versace Dreamer. Yes, it is a bit synthetic... It does not bother me at all! That's why you get such sharp scents and a huge performance. You may use it everywhere but never in warm weather. This is a cold-weather fragrance for a hot-feelings user. Due to its classicism, I always tend to classify this perfume as a below-average as compliment grabber. I could not be more wrong. Ladies do notice it and do like it. Performance? Well above average longevity (12~14 hours), sillage (6 feet+) and projection (3~4 hours). Ratings for Bogart pour Homme: ___ ___ ___ ___ ___ ___ - Scent opening: 8.5 (Lavender lovers will enjoy this opening) - Scent dry-down: 9.0 (Earthy and sweet - classic and very pleasant) - Longevity: 9.0 (3 sprays will give you more than 12 hours) - Sillage: 9.0 (6 feet radius sillage and with a huge projection for 3.5 hours) - Versatility: 6.5 (Very manly and very intense, limiting its versatility; It is acceptable for daily use, office, and a night out... but not really recommended for any of them. It's great for leisure! I don't mind using it alone at home) - Usability: 8.0 (Ok for cold weather, acceptable in Spring and Fall) - Uniqueness: 8.5 (It shares a vibe or two with other perfumes but it is similar to none. I only identify a small similarity to Versace's Dreamer) - Compliments: 8.5 (You may be sure to make yourself noticed and the people around you will enjoy your scent) - Quality: 8.0 (Not a huge star, but good anyway) - Presentation: 6.5 (The usual bottle of Bogart with a sprayer that is just acceptable) - Price 9.5 (€18 for 100 ml bottle at Notino, shipping included) ___ ___ ___ ___ ___ ___ Average: 8.27 / 10,00 - between 7 and 8 = above average; - between 8 and 9 = recommended; - greater than 9 = do not miss; Bogart Pour Homme has been my first Bogart. After this brand's first purchase, I bought almost every Bogart fragrance available. I also bought a backup bottle for a couple of them... we never know what may happen 🙂 Recommendation: This is a top choice in the budget alley. It is an elegant and masculine scent to use in cold weather, either during the day or at night. It may fit a ceremony, office use, or casual daily use... but it only shines at home, in a family environment. Blind buy? Yes, of course. It's a very commendable perfume and it sells for peanuts. Performance aficionados will love it. Music: Andrea Bocelli - "Brucia La Terra"

!wWOWw! So, I own A BUNCH of great"unisex" fragrances from florals to gourmand and everything in between, but MAN! It's just REALLY nice getting back to an essential, masculine dna (that doesn't smell dated) from time to time! Am I right fellas!?? Really good and hits WAY above its price point! Now at first spray, Bogart Pour Homme immediately reminded me of PDM Layton, but after about 5-10 mins, I begin to get that "Cherry Tobacco" accord everyone speaks of... Bogart Pour Homme definately has a "Classic Vibe" yet still manages to be somewhat unique although I would consider it a classic "Barber-shop" fragrance because of the way the Lavender is done here giving it a very "clean/fresh" touch along with those classically used spices. Now, being a LOVER of EVERYTHING cherry, from artificial to natural cherry scents, Im a fan of this for sure, and this hits the mark. I definatly plan on layering this with my TF Lost Cherry dupe (MH Lovely Cherry) to see if that awesome cherry note gets center stage😁. I just tried Bogart Pour Homme now for the first time, so I cant yet speak on the performance, but I'll def be back for an update.. To whomever is reading this, thanks for taking the time!😉 --------‐----------update---------------------- So ive worn Bogart Pour Homme a few times now, and although it does have a strong opening and sillage, it doesn't last as long (on skin) as I figured it would. My bottle probably needs to mature a bit, and its an edt, but that doesnt really determine the longevity as much as one might think. I still get a solid 4 ro 5.hours on skin before it becomes a skin scent, and about 7 to 8 hours on clothes. I'm sure that'll change with time. A great, classic sccent which fills a niche in my collection as I didn't really have a men's classic "barber-shop" type scent (unless ya consider PDM Layton one). 7 outta 10 scent imo,.. very, VERY nice!!😁 and thanks for the read!!

this is not your "grandpa smell" at all. it's mature but absolutely modern, a man over 30-35 will feel very comfortable with bogart pour homme. MR SMELLY hyped this fragrance and he was right: a great cheapie, with quality and substance. i never tried so far pure havane, i can get the le male vibe but definitely more masculine, i never liked le male because there's something a bit girly that i hate. b.p.h. is 100% masculine, fits good for someone confident, tough and elegant in a classic way. this scent is famous for the tobacco-cherry combo but i want to point out that it's not heavy, the juice is well made even it is a bit synthetic and sweet and the cherry is soft, not femminine. ok it's not over necessary in a wardrobe but for the price and quality u can have a good edt to use. mine is batch 2019 and i cant complain about performance, which is very good especially in longevity(dont overspray). i think it's not your panty dropper but fits good for casual situations, open enviroments and work. for cold seasons only, for a mature man with a classic but not dated style, someone who believes in "less is more". where i live in nobody knows b.p.h. so it's very unique here. profumo per uomini over 35, classico ma assolutamente moderno, per chi veste con la giusta dose di finezza, senza essere sciatto o eccessivamente elegante come un pagliaccetto. ottima combinazione di tabacco e ciliegie, tutto però fatto in modo decisamente virile. costa pochissimo e dove vivo io nessuno lo conosce. scent-8 long-8 sillage-8 uniqueness-8 bottle-7 versatility-8 compliment factor- 6,5 rebuy?no my vote-8 in one word- necktie alternative- jpg le male

For a sub $20 fragrance, this pops off my skin pretty strongly in the opening. I'm getting a citrus aromatic/herbal with some subtle florals mixed in initially especially the lavender. The citrus fades away fairly quickly. I definitely get the tonka bean and musk a little later in. I'm also getting the woods & the patchouli is not the dirty kind but more the chocolatey kind but is a little elusive. On the far dry down i'm getting a vanillic & light spice undertone but it doesn't take over. Pretty well balanced. In the end, the performance finishes up as average after a strong opening. It dries down kinda powdery. Not getting much Pure Havane or Insurrection Wild other than its a similar sweetness & maybe a single vein of something underneath, probably the the vanilla mixing with something to give it a tobacco-like smell. Similarity to Naxos is noticeable but not close whatsoever. Overall a really good buy at the price point.....is it synthetic? Sure, but definitely smells nice for a cheapie. You could do much worse for under $20. The performance seems pretty good so far for a $20 fragrance. On the far far dry down, it gets more tobacco forward and closer to Pure Havane & Insurrection 2 wild to my nose, but by that point, the fragrance is already fading away. It smells like a sweeter Naxos in the far dry down to my nose but not close to the quality, which is understandable at the price point this goes. It's a great bargain.

Idk man, why are people calling Bogart pour Homme "cheap smelling?". Yes, this fragrance is cazy affordable, and at around $20 a bottle it's a real steal, but it does NOT smell cheap or particularly "Synthetic". Now at the $20 price-point OF COURSE it uses synthetics but Bogart pour homme smells freakin' AMAZ-BALLZ, and "Synthetics " are NOT only used in "Cheap fragrances". The Lavender, Patchouli and Tonka bean are blended to perfection and offers this clean/spicey mature dna. It's simply intoxicating and has noticable progression through the opening, mid and far dry-down. It hits WAY above it's $20 pricetag. Ive left previous reviews on here regarding Bogart pour Homme, yet everytime I wear it, Im just so impressed with this dna that I feel the need to come back to Fragrantica to rave about it.. whether its a "cheapie" or not, it's a gorgeous fragrance, and it gets even better the longer it matures (especially the performance). I used Bogart Pour Homme at work on my sweater, then the following day got a compliment without even spraying more on again prior to work! Now THATS great performance, especially for an edt. I love Bogart Pour Homme (and I own close to 100 frags, from Niche to clones to high end designers). Bogart pour Homme is an 8 outta 10 imo. It's a NO BRAINER! Thanks to whomever yook the time to read my thoughts on Bogart Pour Homme!😉
