One Man Show Ruby Edition

I love the entire Bogart brand. I’ve never tried anything they have to offer and felt disappointed. Even One Man Show - Gold, which I originally did not warm up to, has come to be in my regular rotation. Having established that I’m a huge Bogart fan, I’ll address the latest of two juices I have put my nose to. OMS–Ruby blew me away. I was expecting just another monetizing flanker from another designer house, but seriously, Bogart knocked it out of the park with this one. I feel this is better than anything else in the OMS lineup save OMS–Oud. That’s also equally an excellent frag. It has all of the same appeal of the original OMS, but they have toned those notes down a bit and added some slight oud, heavy apple, and heavy honey. So what you end up with is the brashness of OMS original, but Ruby is tamed more into the direction of more broadly wearable with the sweet and woody notes from the honey and oud. Long lasting, wearable, inexpensive, unique. Voilà, it is in effect 1980 transformed into 2019; Marlboro-man is now Metro-man. If you are thinking about trying out some blended ouds then this would be a good place to start. Also, OMS–Oud and Dirty English are great oud places to start. There is no butterfly attracting horse manure smelling oud here (The likes of which I've been exposed to many times in my frag journey). As for any comments about “synthetic” vibes? Forgetabout it. Half of the best loved colognes are in the synthetic bandwidth but people still love them, as do I. You aren't going to find real angel tears as a component for $14. And for the price?!? Bogart must be mainly about the art because I would have ponied up more Jackson for this one. Let me know if you have a different opinion! Chopshop rating: 10

When I first got this, I found it smelt like a freshly cleaned white t shirt (doesn't really smell like anything, just smells inoffensive and a little bit like bleach) and could barely smell it. I wanted this one for a while so I decided to wear this and could barely smell this. About an hour later I asked what my mom thought of it on me and she was across the room and said she was able to smell it off me across the house as soon as she got home. You get almost instant nose fatigue with this one and will be projecting all over the place without you having any idea. Lex Ellis also said this in his review. I find this to be a very classy sweet honey, slightest touch of oud, a bit of incense and a candy vibe from the apple. Great soft, spicy and sweet scent. I'm almost 19 and believe I can pull this off so easily. This is a must have in my collection along with silver scent intense. I also have the pure edition which is nice but it's not on the same level as this and intense. I had deep as well but got rid of that because it was pretty garbage. I feel like this can be very versatile (I would not wear this at work because of the insane projection though unless I own the company) and I curious to try this in the summer as well. I really feel this one can be dressed up but can also be dressed down. Also all ages, this can be very appropriate on an older guy but also on a younger guy like myself. This can go well with all styles as well I think.

Wow!! Very Impressive blind buy! I'm gonna be honest, once I hit the "complete purchase" button on eBay, I started getting buyers remorse because I thought I was getting myself into another sugery Joop Homme wannabe scent. I couldn't have been more wrong! This bitch walks alone! Opens with a bright sour fruit / rubbery synthetic type vibe that is kinda weird, but in a nice way. I can see why some won't like OMS Ruby, but this is right up my ally because I have a fettish for synthetic material notes in cologne (i.e. new car smells...etc), which I guess explains my love for Lattafa's Ameer Al Oudh so much. Once mid gear hits, you can start to detect the green apple tart playing with the sweeter backbone of this red juice, but surprisingly not overly sweet...just right. Ruby is blended really well, and I think I now like this OMS flanker better than Oud Edition. I can't express enough how caught off guard I was with this modern Bogart legend. I don't have anything that smells close to OMS Ruby, and you all know how difficult that is once you start accumulating over 50 or so fragrances. All that said, OMS Ruby has an older adult aura. So If you're under 35, you may not understand this offering...It's "older man"; not "old man". One Man Show Ruby Edition will be olfactory catnip for most non prudish, Gen X bomb lovers. Just tell'em brandonR sent ya!!

This is a truly unique and probably polarizing release; In fact, I wasn’t quite convinced at first... But that has changed. Initially I didn't like it on cold and humid days, because the synthetic aspect of the fragrance was very accentuated. Now I don't give a damn about that, it's more; I like it. So find out, this is a Jaques Bogart fragrance: It’s brave and unique... It has a couple of balls - speaking badly and clearly-; if you don't have the guts to wear the fragrance, just buy one with vanilla, chestnut and toffee. ... That is the statement of this fragrance. This juice is sweet, resinous, woody, incensy and slightly animalistic, with a bit medicinal & petroleum undertone. The main players here are Honey, Oud, Incense and Cedar... With a medium body of saffron and labdanum, led by a synthetic fruity accord: An apple with hints of cherry. - Longevity: +12h. - Projection: Caution! It can be huge... - Mood: Just be a real man to wear this, don’t be afraid of it: People won’t point at you..! And perhaps, you’ll even be surprised with the charm it may have. Youngsters and seniors can wear it, no problem... But only guys with character. Conclusion: Its rudeness makes it different, daring, attractive and unique. Just be brave.

The more I smell Bogart's offerings, the more I become a fan of how they approach their fragrances. If fragrance houses could be compared to bands, Bogart would be Judas Priest. They've made every note in this mix louder than everything else. The concept behind Ruby Edition is to take a common "Red" fragrance formula, such as Dunhill Desire, and making the Heavy Metal version of it. You almost don't recognize it at first, but when the fragrance opens up you can smell the familiar Red notes delivered at maximum volume. Over it all is a cherry top note that has no intention of being naturalistic. It's piercing, pleasant and powerful. The longevity on Ruby Edition is very good. The juice is so concentrated, it's almost resinous on your skin. That could indeed be the Ambroxin binder, a substance that solidifies at room temperature. One Man Show isn't for everyone. But neither is Judas Priest. Bogart's fans are often hardcore instead of casual. That happens when enthusiastic people find something that was made for them in mind instead of the makers trying to please everyone. Bogart is a fragrance house that thrives on being extraordinary.

I picked this one up blindly and I wasn’t sure about my decision as I couldn’t find a review that sold me on it. I took the risk and this is now my 6th purchase from the Jacques Bogart house. I gotta say I was off to a rough start with this one from the opening, it opens up almost exactly like Jacques Bogart Pure and I didn’t like that juice, but thank god in changes in the mid because this would have been a dud in my book. It opens with that grape bubblegum type of opening and although some people love it, I simply don’t. By the mid you definitely get that incense, honey sweetness, and then that Oud kicks in. I’m trying to explain it the best I can. It’s got a sweet light smokiness that comes across almost leathery. That’s the best I got for all of you. It’s a bit linear, but if you you want a lighter sweeter version of One Man Show Oud Edition, this very well May be the bottle for you. This is a true value for your dollar, but just know what you’re getting into before you buy this stuff. To me, this is another solid release from the JB house and a solid 8/10 for me.

It’s like they took the cherry smell from Jacques Bogart Pour Homme and bottled it. Very good stuff and I am not a fan of Bogart Pour Homme but I love this one. Now I do however highly respect Bogart Pour Homme for what it is but my first formula bottle does not get much use ‘RUBY’ however gets alot of use and I even have a backup bottle, not for everyone though if you don’t like sweet with an odd incense tinge in the background. There is so much litter and trash out there in the fragrance world, from the flanker releases that just suck, to everybody and their grandma trying to do youtoob reviews talking about the same stuff over and over again, best panty dropper, top 10, most complimented, blah blah blah, it’s getting boring, it has become NERDWORLD! Thankfully there is stuff like this that just cuts through the bs and is just damn good.

You want masculine you got masculine with OMS Ruby Edition. Sweet, cherry tobacco type of insense. Totally unique from anything. Of course it has Bogart's DNA with a musky background. But not nearly as musky as OMS Gold Edition which is a little over the top. Ruby on the other hand is much better. The performance is superb. 2 sprays to upper chest and 1 on nape of neck. All day sillage. You can't ask more for a $15 fragrance. I just love the Jacques Bogart house. They don't care about political correctness. They ignore the push by feminist to de-masculinize men. They produce strong 80's like men's fragrances for men that take pride in their masculinity while respecting women like a true gentleman. Men that don't cave to social pressure and see the beautiful differences in men and women as a positive, not a competition. That's Bogart.

How can something this inexpensive be so good?? I also blind bought this with minimal expectations (at $15 for 100 ml, why get a decant?). I am blown away by this scent. The fragrance reminds me of a Christmas Wreath”- woody, fir needles, red berries, and a bit smokey: a red/green wintertime smell that is at once cozy, mildly sweet, and inviting. I am somewhat amazed at how comparatively tame Ruby Edition is. I don’t get a large dose of the typical Bogart larger-than-life syntheticness here, but rather a well blended, well mannered scent that is pleasant from top to drydown. The honeyed sweetness isn’t cloying or obnoxious, but lingers beautifully as a backdrop to the woods and incense. If you have an unfavorable impression about the house of Bogart, this one might change it. I am thoroughly impressed.

The opening (max. 1 minute) is very, very similar to OMS Gold Edition, then a synthetic yet stylish oud make its appearance. The dry down is a fine tuned sweet-sourish (Red/black grapes and Lychee) and a little bit of animalic touche, reminiscent of Gold Edition, but vaguely in terms of power. Definitely better tamed and balanced than Gold Edition (it goes skin scent much rapidely than Gold Edition), but that not meaning (for me) that Gold Edition is less pleasant. I like both, Ruby for finesse, Gold for manhood. Both are my favourites from Jacques Bogart house. I absolutely hate Oud Edition, it's too offensive oud for me. Red grapes and Lychee... Absolutely nothing in common with Lapidus pour homme, like some said previously. Not cherries, but red/black flavoured grapes... Fanta grapes at max.!

Wow from the first spray this stuff projects and is ultra warm and sexy! Red Tobacco has some serious competition! Ruby Edition is absolutely gorgeous and has enough to make it beautiful and not too much to where it gets complicated. This fragrance starts out really sweet with red apple, honey, and some incredibly wonderful saffron! The frosted lavender gives this a slight icy affect but is very subtle! The warm smooth amber and the red cedar and absolutely stunning in this fragrance and add a beautiful punch. A lovely incense and a subtle but prominent orange peel note lingering around the top. Unlike Red Tobacco this doesn't really have any Oud and no Tobacco whatsoever but is still just as sexy and not as complicated/niche. I really want the Gold edition now! 🥵🫡

Sweetly Incensed Red as the Bottle and i have to say, the first word which comes to my mind is Romantic. a Scent that Reminds something which is out of this era. on the incense side it is more pleasant and Romantic than Joop! which my first impression is the scent of Cremation of Human flash. while this one feels like the smoke of a Persian Harem Lady smoking Hookah. i found it priced at less than 20$ snatched two bottles. and if it continues like that, i feel i am going to be using this long lasting and very present scent as one of my favorite ones. first impression is best impression, and this one had a really successful one. *Should Have been Named: "Hypnotic Poison"

Bogarts Red Dead Redemption is a masterpiece, TLPH is clearly the foundation, add the best bits of Bogart Pour Homme and Silver Scent Intense and you get this classy, strong, sweet and sour delight. Honey, Saffron, Cherry Tobacco, Red Grapes, Amber, Cedar and a tame Oud are what jump out for me, performance is standard Bogart, exceptional, the brainwashed must hate this so come back with the synthetic, cloying, nauseating BS, they must be using all natural ingredients in their perfumes until you look at what they claim they own! Hypocrites. I simply feel epic wearing this. BrandonR's reviews on Ruby are spot on.

Bogart are a take it or leave it house: you either love their brash, forthright releases or simply cannot relate to them. I appreciate their boldness, typically powerful edge and fantastic longevity. Ruby Edition is another I've completely fallen for. Ruby Edition bears no resemblance to the original OMS; it's somewhere between the brutal Gold Edition and the much more moderate Oud edition: honeyed agarwood, lots of incense and sticky, sweet (almost cherryish) red berries on top. It's a fantastic introduction to the Bogart feel and for the price it's worth taking a blind risk.

Bogart Ruby Red Edition (18F02) - I Love It Loud!!! Stand up, you don't have to be afraid Get down love is like a hurricane Street boy, though I never could be tamed Better believe it, yeah Guilty 'till I'm proven innocent Whiplash heavy metal accident Rock on I want to be president 'Cause I love it Loud I want to hear it loud Right between the eyes Loud I want to hear it loud Don't want no compromise One Man Show Ruby Edition is proudly loud, obnoxious and like that aging soldier in the KISS army it doesn't give a crap. Rock on brother, ROCK ON!!

I’ll start off by saying, I’ve been wearing this fragrance for six years, I know what i’m talking about. One Man Show: Ruby edition is a fruity, sweet, synthetic scent. The projection is off the charts; I can literally put on two sprays and everyone in the same state as me will smell me. It’s a strong smell, (as said on the bottle) and has great longevity. Lasts HOURS and doesn’t wear off with sport or exercise. It may not be for everyone, and it has a unique smell, but I’ll continue wearing it until discontinuation, and I rate it a 9.7/10.

One. It's an EDT, HIGHLY concentrated. Two. It's like, 10$. Three. Saffron is expensive. Four. It smells VERY unique. Don't overspray. 3 is plenty. This is not for faint of heart. It's a basic scent with classic performance, and it's still mainly alcohol. It's LOUD. it's Airy. It's cloying, but in a spicey way. This stuff, is absolutely one of the best bangs for buck. It's not complex, it doesn't grow and alter your mind. Don't look for that in a 10$ frag. This is absolutely worth 30-50$ based on performance alone.

Literally in life I don't have to look hard to find something to squawk about..especially fragrances! However, no complaints. Cheap and long-lasting and smells expensive! I get more of a new car smell from this rather than City Tower, which also has a rubbery tinge. This I liken more to Silver Scent slightly, as a drop of grape drink still remains. Would buy again...love it. Anyone could wear it...not an old man scent like the regular one man show..way more modern and less bathroom-ish lol

this one garners much nose lifting.....this is a fragrance thats unique...powerfull.....and makes people feel much envy because its a rare potion...period...9.5 of 10....for between 40 dollars to 60plus it can be had in usa...if u have patience and can wait 3 to 4 weeks from asia post...it may be found for around 30 to 40dollars usually ships for free also..THIS PARFUM IS WORTH THE HEADACHE...ITS LIKE BUYING 3 BOTTLES IN 1...ITS THAT MUCH OF A POWERFHOUSE....have a nice..... j

I blind bought this because it was around $17 on fragrancenet and the notes looked really good and I am super impressed. This far exceeded my expectations for such a cheap fragrance. And for an EDT it’s damn powerful. It’s sweet, spicy, ambery and very manly. The reviews below are no joke. This is definitely not a unisex frag at all. I’m really curious to check out the rest of the line and will probably end up blind buying a couple more. A solid 8/10 for me.
