One Man Show Gold Edition

(A general word of caution about my impressions of fragrances: I apply on clothes and not on skin.) I will second Dimitrios' argument below. This is like those undiluted coolants that you need to mix 50/50 with water before putting in your car's radiator. Silage is enormous, and longevity is preposterous. This stays on clothes virtually forever. Having said that, it is quite possible to control this beast with careful application. And frankly, I would rather use a single-careful-spray-only fragrance than a gone-in-an-hour-after-20-sprays fragrance. Contemporary Bogart fragrances, (as well as the current offerings of a few other affordable men’s lines such as Lapidus,) are real anomalies in today's fragrance market when you consider the performance you get for the money you spent on them. This beauty here can be had for as little as $15 for a 100 ml bottle, and can last you years at couple sprays a day. This is the kind of performance you would only expect to get from an old-school powerhouse in its vintage formulation. I love Bogart for keeping the old-school powerhouse tradition and gusto alive. “Bogart, the house of powerhouse,” indeed! Performance aside, this is not my favorite Bogart fragrance, although I like and quite enjoy it. This is quite a sweet fragrance. I would say it is fruity-sweet, rather than spicy-sweet or floral-sweet. To my nose, honey is a dominant theme in this fragrance, and I was surprised to see that it is not among the official notes. Actually, I get a distinct “honey smell” from this fragrance as opposed to just a “honey note” as you would find in several other fragrances that include honey as a note, such as Bijan and Alain Delon. But then again, Bogart is known for creating impressions of notes without actually using them in a fragrance, but instead through interaction of other notes. For example, consider the incense impression in Furyo without the use of incense as a note, or the tobacco impression in Bogart pour Homme (2004, not the 1975 original) without the use of tobacco. Beside the sweetness, this fragrance has the trademark “dirty+soapy” aspect you find in most Bogart fragrances, which gives it an extra old-school macho appeal. The “dirty+soapy” aspect becomes quite pronounced if you smell the fragrance up close after application.

As a lover of vintage and powerfull fragrances, I read absolutely all reviews about this beautiful scent, then I blind bought it. :) Bogart OMS Gold Edition is a modern perfume, but clearly inspired by classics. Some people say that Bogart OMS Gold is like a mixture of Kouros, Lapidus pour homme and Dali pour homme (?). In my oppinion, the opening of Bogart OMS Gold is very, very similar to current formulation of Puig Quorum (soapy like it), but nothing in comun with Kouros. Not at all. It can be compared with Kouros, but only by analogy of perceptions, not by similitude of smell. The dry down has vague similarities with Lapidus, but only marginal and not so strong like Lapidus. Not so animalic like Kouros, but nor so fresh like Quorum. It's rough, strong and persistent. Poisonous maybe (it reminds me the DDT). But I love it! It's not for all noses. Only for connaisseurs. :) Concerning the comparison with Dali pour homme, only in final it will remind finely and discreetly the smell of Dali. Exceptional longevity and projection. On my skin lasts more than 8-9 hours. 1-2 max. 3 hours of projection, then slowly it calms and cuddle up at skin level. I would put it among the most sophisticated harsh perfumes for men. A must have for people of category that I belong (as said above)! Loved and detestable in same time! Controversial, but adorable! Addendum: I reviewed and completed my opinion above mentioned, it smells marginally similar to Kouros on my clothes, but just after 3-4 hours after application. Anyway, I like more the smell of Bogart than Kouros's. Kouros is a little bit "salty" (in nauseous sense of the word) than Bogart OMS GE. It's by far the strongest perfume I own! A gem!

In a fragrance mainstream that has been all about fresh, aquatic and unisex for decades, Bogart has stayed true to their vision of bold, provocative and unapologetically MASCULINE fragrances! I just received my Gold Edition in the mail and it's love at first spray. Not everyone is going to like it, but many are going to LOVE it! That's what great creativity is all about. There is no reward without risk. It took serious guts to commit to an entire line of Kouros-esque fragrances in an era when people are more easily offended than at any other time in modern history. Fragrances, like music, seem to be getting safer and more similar to one another. There also seems to be more emphasis on exorbitant niche fragrances. Bogart has dared to become the Conan of the fragrance world, to offer non-trendy, testosterone fueled scents for under $20 a bottle. You HAVE to love the concept! Someone is looking out for those who would rather hear Judas Priest instead of Katy Perry! The overall impression I get from this scent is a warm room with leather furniture and honey scented pipe smoke. This sounds as though it might come across elderly, but instead it's powerful and vital. It reads a bit synthetic, more of an acrylic portrait than a photograph. This is absolutely true, but for me it only enhances its appeal. It's not Tom Ford, but it's every bit as daring and powerful. It respects and celebrates your masculinity rather than trying to assimilate it. I absolutely love it! It's also extremely transformative. The drydown is a completely scent than the opening. If you're a fan of Kouros and Ted Lapidus, you have to try this fragrance. It's very, very exciting!

batch code 20I40 : september 2020 according to checkfresh was quite skeptical after watching youtube reviews online and reading attached comments. there was even a couple of videos devoted to one man show gold being reformulated. but nevertheless, i decided to give it a shot. previously purchased this same frag about 5 years back and i must say it was the ultimate beast, so when i got this new bottle, i had zero expectations thinking it was the watered down reformulation. i sprayed this on my shirt and body at 11 am on 20th october 2022. could barely notice the opening. went out to buy groceries and hung my shirt in the room. whenever i pass by the room (about 2 metres away from the hanging tshirt) i could smell it without wanting to smell it. it is now 1215pm 21st october 2022 as im writing this and the smell is still there whenever i pass my room. i just have a feeling that the smell will still linger on till tomorrow. ill give it a 11/10 for lasting power. sillage at least 9/10. value 11/10 as well due to its very affordable price. did i get a reformulated bottle? maybe. regardless, ill be getting a few more bottles as backup. i have also purchased oud, ruby and the original one man show and ill be reviewing those in the next few days

OK After some wearings these are my thoughts. What I get in the opening is red apple with anise. It is a pretty sweet and fresh opening with hints of spices that predispose us for what will come next. Then it is a full domination of Cinnamon and Cloves. Maybe Clove is a bit more prominent. The Cinnamon/Clove phase will last for a long time. Finally it dries down to a Musky base with a touch of everything that followed before this stage. A bit of Amber there as well. As for the performance. It is not the beast that everyone is talking about but yes it performs well. It can last a day on skin but it won't project more than 4 hours with 2 sprays on each side of the neck. I don't think it is an aggresive smell, it is a great scent for its price with great quality. I think the key for this fragrance to reach its full potential isn't "Don't spray a lot" but "Don't spray more than once in the same spot". I found that spraying more than once in the same spot makes the Clove the only detectable note and in addition to that it is very cloying and bitter. If you are into ultra sweet,soft and modern fragrances I wouldn't recommend you this. To everyone that are 25+ or don't meet the prementioned conditions I totally recommend you this.

This one was just too easy to blind buy as it's dirt cheap. It is extraordinary, if not polarizing, to say the least (just look at the hilariously scathing reviews the precede my own). There are elements of the powerhouse classics of yore: element Roger & Gallet Open, Cartier Santos, Lapidus Pour Homme. Loud, strident, not for niminy-piminy types who don't want to get NOTICED. You will get NOTICED, because this projects like a sasquatch in heat. When the nuclear blast of the top notes settle, you are greeted by a muskrat presenting a platter of McDonald's apple pies, reminding me somewhat of the dirtier aspects of Balenciaga Pour Homme or Bogart's own Witness. I swear that Bogart's master perfumer on the civet and castoreum ingredients from their palette and left them uncredited just to mess with us all. Some 12 hours later, it persists, still it persists, with a wall of Isoraldeine 70 and radiant musks. Holy Mother of God, this is radioactive. I think I'll need a Silkwood shower. Seriously though, I kinda LOVE Gold Edition for all its olfactory barbarism and am happy it's in the collection. I think from now on though my application method for this one will be spray, delay, and walk away.

This comes off to me as a warm, resinous, spiced red apple with touches of wood, musk, and florals rounding it out. The opening is very sweet and heady, lots of apple and mandarin/orange blossom. Extremely dense, heavy and resinous throughout the formulation. As it dries down the mandarin/orange blossom/violet take a backseat and out comes a spicy fougere accord while still retaining the sweet red apple theme. The further into the drydown, the more woody, resinous, and musky it gets. Also gets less fruity and less floral but keeps the same general vibe. Great performance, very good winter/fall scent for MEN. For the love of God don't wear this if you are a woman. Unless you feel like it. Edit: I will add that 1. This does have a very slight urinous/bathroom urinal thing going on. I don't feel this ruins the formulation, but some might find this off-putting. 2. This is definitely much more pleasant in the air rather than smelled up close. Again, I'm not bothered, I'm sure that is by design. However if you feel, like many others, that this is overly synthetic or like a weird mishmash of notes, try smelling it on someone else. You'll probably find it much not pleasant.

Sometimes things are very simple with perfumes! If you love older nuclear hydro power bombs with a pair of syringes and a manly air this thing is just for you! Today, fast hyper-capitalism has made the world of perfumes so that most new editions are simply sometimes boring and without their charm! Most of them seem to be just a clone of one or the other and when they compete in who will copy someone better and repeat their successes! But with Bogart, you simply get most of what you want! Anyone who likes the vibe of Ted Lapidus, Balenciaga Pour Homme or Kouros and doesn't want to throw big bucks at greedy usurer bottle owners on Ebay - Bogart is a real blessing! The bottles are also from that period, the smell is also a hit among those old beautiful things - and the price is ridiculously underestimated and competes with most vintage things! Many people underestimate these things because of the price - but they don't know that, for example, J. Bogart was present at the production of the Balenciaga PH, for which he paid a couple of €100... Try this stuff, One Man Show, Pour Homme, Silver Scent, Ruby Edition...

This fragrance is absolute filth! In a really good way though. The opening is chaotic, headbangingly strong and conflicted, floral, animalic, musky, a bit metallic, sickly sweet with heavy spicing. When it’s settles it’s a brutal musk, surrounded by indistinct florals and a fruity note, tinged with bubblegum. As it dries down though it becomes really interesting and a cuddly warm, spiced amber scent develops, deeply, deeply resinous. To be honest I was really in two minds about that opening but when settled, even though it still smells of musky and sweet even skanky notes I love it. The complexity is something to behold, becoming exceptionally woody, balmy even a touch smokey. This is not a typical powerhouse in the way the other one man shows are, this has eastern almost oud like vibes about it. The projection in the first 20 mins of applying is nothing short of nuclear, but does die down respectably, performance is good and im a big fan of how ridiculous this is already. Blind bought it as well so it’s extra impressive, a stonking good romp of a fragrance, probably not for everyone though.

It is indeed very strong and for the Haters i would say that they actually might be lucky as their skins are good carriers of this kind of scent. but it is a positive aspect, as if used properly one bottle of OMS Gold is going to last for ages. the simple and best advice with this one is just really being careful not to overdo it. it is my second review attempt and after some time without using it i carefully sprayed one spray on each of my arms and done some serious spreading and rubbing to not allow the spraying spots remain concentrated in one location. yes it will have less projection in this way but since it so concentrated it will going to last some 12 hours. however, my first impressions were also interesting, in the spirit of: If You Ever Wondered in Your Wildest Fantasies how would You smell after a Sweaty 12 Hour Shift in a Gasoline Station, But the grease and smoke had Prevented you from fulfilling your fantasy. One Man Show Gold is Definitely the Scent for You! and it's not in a bad sense. Multo Machoismo!

Someone said in a review that OMSG makes people react in an agressive way. 5 minutes after receiving the bottle I sprayed it on since I was about to leave the house but I had to stop somewhere and talk to a farmer I haven't met before to give him a message. After we exchanged 3 phrases each he suddenly shouted 'Wait! What the fack are you wearing mate? That is some really potent stuff!' His reaction killed me. I dont understand why people here seem not to like it, I am far from being a conneiseur, actually I am unable to detect notes in general , to me this smells like strong chamomille tea with a lot of fresh linden honey in it. I love the opening, the fact that there are so many notes that pop out and it's not a linear perfume. The projection is amazing, sillage is also good, and it lasted on me around 7 hours. It's not a boring powerhouse from the 80's. Nice strong but sweet in the same time.However I dont think it suits everybody, I wouldnt see it on a skinny young fella with no facial hair.

Reading OMS GE reviews is the best fun you can have here on Fragrantica! Everyone gets excited and no one is left speechless by this evil liquid... It's freaking everyone out, but everyone's happy about it, and everyone's enjoying finally having something to talk about - because this fragrance is a nasty little bastard - and everyone's literary output is soaring to put into words their extraordinary experiences... the good and the bad... but it's all rather good.... ...well, yes... OMS GE is no ordinary, easy case. It has a strong message of masculinity, of which masculine fragrance is an indispensable part. Pierre Bourdon wrote this message, and Bogart embraces it. And rightly so. Master Bourdon's invention is more natural, more curvaceous, deeper and much denser, but OMS GE has nothing to be ashamed of. OMS GE is not a direct copy of Kouros, but for those who love Kouros, it will make your eyes light up, as it usually does we all here. OMS GE! I LOVE YOU!

There's a real duality to this fragrance. If you close your eyes and try to smell shaving foam and talcum powder, you can do. On the other hand, if you try to smell the lion enclosure in a zoo, where the lions excrete and mate, you can very much do that as well. The schism between these two extremes is filled with fruits and flowers, which tie it all together. I'm sure there is leather, incense, and oud in there as well. The most remarkable thing is that the composition doesn't come off as schizophrenic, but rather a masterfully blended and complete whole. Challenging, yes, and probably not for everyone - I wouldn't say it smells *exactly* like Lapidus or Kouros, but if you dislike those, you probably won't like this - but who said that every fragrance has to be an easy to wear dumb reach daily driver jack of all trades? If you're the type of guy who can pull this off and you're in the mood, put this on, and you're going to know about it.

Jacques Bogart One Man Show Gold Edition is all about the clove, cinnamon and spice. Almost puts a foot in the Middle East woody spicy oud-ish category of fragrances. The added sweetness is there but this one focuses more on the spice. Highly concentrated is what’s written on the box and this one definitely is, for an EDT this one has extreme projection and lasts 10 plus hours. Gold Edition and Oud Edition are my favourite from the One Man Show line. I also have the body spray versions of the EDTs and they’re so strong you can use it as a room freshener. I like going just one spray on the back of the neck, you don’t need to spray more than once. You’ll get whiffs of it thru out the day as long as you go just one spray cause this perfume refuses to dry down on my skin. Anyone here tried the 24K edition?

WOW! - Arguably the most powerful of all men's scents. This really IS a special powerhouse and it's GREAT! It's a mature man's scent that starts with candy and fruit, then I can smell honey and apples with flowers. The cinnamon is constantly there all the time. It's unique, but, the scent that is nearest to is Ted Lapidus pour Homme. OMS Gold is a heavy, sweet, complex fragrance - almost too strong to smell up close - better from a distance. The drydown is the best bit - mellow and smooth with loads of character. It comes in a classy matt black glass flacon that looks great. It says "Highly concentrated" on the box, and they aren't joking! Handle with care!! OMS Gold is a really gorgeous, masculine, powerful, sweet men's scent with lots of character. OMS Gold is right up there for me.

I am quite late to the party on this one but I am happy to report that most of the reviews below are true, the ones that say it’s weak or vile are not, but to each his own. Even after scrubbing in the shower Bogart Gold is still there. I own all the OMS flankers and I love them all, they each share a unique quality that I highly cherish. Oud Edition is a favorite, Ruby is as well and now Gold, if I only had these 3 in my collection I am pretty sure I would be happy and not want or need anything else, they are from another world and I too swear they were made in a witches cauldron with sorcery and magic! 10/10 A special thank you goes out to the creative minds that developed all the OMS editions, they are timeless. Can’t wait to smell Emerald!

iconoclast I love you...x This is def a Bears fragrance,rich woody,spicy with enough sillage to knock you sideways. Not one for Goldilocks to share! I have been a big fan of JB One Man Show classic for many years,and that is powerful,but I had to try this Gold Edition as I was curious. OMG! Wow!A dangerous potion to be worn in the evening to attract bears,cubs & otters (maybe girls). The top notes have much more lavender than the original,but then it bursts into a tornado of deep,woody spices.You can really indetify the labdanum notes.A very sexual,aphrodisiac perfume. This fragrance should carry a warning! Longevity is enormous,lasts even after a shower. Sillage is enough to be shown on the Richter Scale.

What an absolute rockstar this is to the fragrance game.... I literally struggle to put into words how much I love this fragrance. For me this is the show stopper of the O.M.S flankers, it out performs the others and is one of the best performers in my collection, genuinely lasting upwards of 6 hours with excellent sillage and good projection. Boozey sweet amber with the orginals dna makes this one of the best bang for your buck fragrances on the market and stands toe to toe with the qualities of Bogart Pour Homme and Yves St Laurent Kouros in my opinion. Actually on my skin this beats all others.... It is genuinely that good. An ever present in my collection and for good reason. Bravo Bogart Bravo!!!

As someone said previously "napalm, son". This stuff is nuclear, definitely go light with the sprays and also better spray on clothes cuz this stuff dries your skin completely. As for the smell, i feel a tea-like sweetness that i like a lot and makes it feel wearable in the warmer weather also and IN GENERAL,... and napal.. a lot of napalm. A signature worthy beast, one of the most monstrous fragrances regarding performance that i have ever smelled. Also has a completely inexpensive price of under 20$. But definitely more suited for 20+ years old guys, so not teenagers. Not blind buy safe in my opinion tho.

Currently, I own three products from JB (the original JBPH, JB Bogart and this one). This one is by far my favourite. It really reminds me a little bit of Kouros, which I like. There is nothing to worry about the extreme sillage, I think it is just right. In regards to the scent itself, I could swear that I had a fabric softener which smelled very similar to this. I was afraid that it would be too sweet, but it is not. I do not think that it makes any bubble gum or candy vibe. If you like Kouros, you might like this one as well. It was a nice surprise for me.
