Boszporusz

I want to start saying, to my nose, it is way more white and yellow flowers and green than marine. Which is great in my books, as I'm not big fan of marine scents. The only thing it has from marine for me is sense of open space and air moving. And even I'm not usually finding white flowers attractive in men perfumes, in this mix I'm finding them very pleasant. When it comes to woody side of it, for me it is more like branches or bushes, something green. Maybe more of the wood bark, if you will, rather than wood itself. Second, 30 years ago, back in USSR we had men's cologne, manufactured in Latvia, I believe its name was Edgar. Boszporusz smells like refined version of it with improved performance. Edgar would be punching you in the nose for 2 hours, then suddenly calms down for 1 hour, and shy away to become skin scent for 24+ hours. All while maintaining almost the same exact scent. Boszporusz acts like better behaving Edgar that is there for you, clearly present in the room for 5+ hours. And while it maintains same aromatic core of scent, it playfully shifts between having slightly more flowers to having more greens, and back to flowers and so on. After that, for about another 5 hours it stays noticeable within arm reach, following by about 8 more hours as skin scent. I think is perfectly unisex scent, slightly leaning toward masculine side. And I think it is great for both indoor and outdoor use, and would go well with either formal or casual attire. It could be used any time of the year except winter. Taking into consideration how difficult it is to find perfumes usable in Summer that also have great performance, it instantly puts Boszporusz in bottle worthy category for me. Ordering second tester to check for possible allergies, and if all goes fine it would be 3rd bottle of Nishane in my collection. Scent 8/10 Originality 8/10 Sillage 8/10 Projection 8/10 Versatility 9/10 Bang for $$ 8/10 Yes, it has pricetag for 50ml same as 100ml of Heeley Sel Marin, but it has twice concentration and longevity of Sel Marin, and better quality.

This house makes amazing fragrances. I agree with some reviews here, same vibe with Kenzo Homme but this one is more green and less aquatic marine like in the opening when compared. After half an hour or so, the green notes get softer and you end up with extremely well balanced aquatic/green smell. If you like Kenzo homme, Bvlgari aqua, Hermes la mousson, MFK Universalis, it is a safe blind buy. The longevity is 8-10 hours easy, projection 3 hours solid, silage is also great. They have a new fragrance called “Ege” that is also a summer fragrance which I tried a sample but Boszporusz is a much better choice in terms of smell, complexity, performance, and balance.

Boszporusz takes me straight to the Mediterranean, to a greener version of the sunny macchia landscapes I associate with the southernmost European coastline. The seagrass accord was new to me, but it gives Boszporusz an aquatic touch I really enjoy. Early in the progression I also sense a touch of citrus, but it is not listed so maybe it is a part of the Cypress chord. The dry down is a fairly skin close dark, musky amber but it also keeps a gentle green aromatic scent for several hours. If you want a nice green scent with a stroke of the Mediterranean, or perhaps the Black Sea if you prefer that, Boszporusz is really worth a try.

Marine,clean and musk! Note seagrass is very clear ...I like the gardenia and jasmine intersect at other notes. I love the drydown,which develops becoming more aromatic always keeping marine. It reminds me of the days of late summer when it rains and the air is cooler .... beautiful!! The sillage is powerful,enormous longevity. interesting parfum! Sillage: 8.5/10 Longevity: 10./10 Scent: 8.5/10 Overall: 8.5/10

A salty spicy marine scent. As a turk, I can confirm this smells like Turkey, they luxurious palace next to the sea while the sultan bathes in aromatic leaves and flowers. A great fragrance for men, im giving this to my boyfriend.
