Hoggar

I fell in love today. And had an interesting hour of "olfactory identity split" lol. Smelt it today for the first time ever, had a little test on my skin as well, and as a result was fighting the urge to eat my arm off. I'm a woman. So, when I'm imagining this little gem of a fragrance on a man - he's damn attractive I must say. I'd like to be around this guy all the time - he's warm, masculine, has good manners and a great sense of humour, he doesn't need to prove himself.. coz he's done that already. And these adjectives apply to the frag as well. As for the scent itself. Oriental spicy with a twist that resembles some very distant aldehydes to me. It opened with warm welcoming spiciness. What exactly, difficult to say, perhaps cinnamon, tonka, leather, something resionous possibly. It's dry and sweet in a masculine way. Opium or old spice (bear with me, please! I don't know mens fragrances too well... at all) vibe maybe, a fraction of it. Very beautiful! Then it became more floaty, fresher, "younger" if you will. Perhaps citrusses, something slightly aromatic with better projection. I had the sensation of being in close quarters of a young (some 30 yo), attractive fit active man, it smelt like a male body, irresistible. (Yes, I'm rolling my eyes and fainting for as well as the poor phrasing, as well as the impact it had on me. Yes, sweet sexy sweat is what I mean, yes!) The dry down was interesting. Instead of turning dirty, overbearing mess it developed into a clean even slightly soapy scent with some sweet spicy undercurrents. Could have been aldehydes or a herb. Yet the spiciness is still there. It smwlls like warm clean skin to me. Interesting. Intriguing. Is all I'm gonna say. Want to get closer to him, this kind of sexy is rather rare.

I owned it some years ago. Re-bought it and I'm satisfied with choice made. I think it's the best men perfume from Yves Rocher. I like Cuir Vetiver and Ambre Noir, but I like more Hoggar. As far as I noted, they only changed the bottle (it doesn't have anymore the brown gradient color, but still have the unique shape), but the smell is the same. It doesn't smell at all as 1 Million or Le Male, as some commented below. It smells better than them, ie exceptional! It has a very pleasant aromatic and resinous/balsamic smell, with a strong woody component. To me it seems quite unique and it smells pretty expensive, too. No more synthetic than other more expensive perfumes. ;) Also it DON'T smell like Davidoff Silver (how ppl say) shadow at all. I own both and they are different. Smell - 9/10 Longevity - 8/10 Sillage - 7/10 My overall note - 9/10, a definitely must have.

Did this really only come out in 2005??? I have what looks like a vintage bottle that I bought used online. The graphics and label look so 70's/ very different from the current modern label. Either way its an affordable little gem which is hard to describe. Masculine, but sweetened just a touch by the Tonka. Definitely more of an oriental, warm spicy accord with a bit of sweet woodiness. Its an extremely versatile frag that works through most seasons, and most occasions. Affordable but does not smell cheap or pretentious. An easy blind buy or masculine grab and go frag for any day or occasion.

Yes it's linear, yes it's not surprising. But, is it bad ? No, not at all, this is a great scent ! If you love tonka's smell, get it ! It results a desert / sandy smell, dry and warm. Like an olfactory hug ! The thing is, I don't think this is a perfume for daytime. When you have a huge and tiring work day, with a lot of stress... You know, this bad day that you know more often that you should... Spray it when you back home, with a drink you like, on your couch and voila, you have a perfect warm and invigorating wrap all around you !

Warm/Tonka/Cedar - Soapy/Powdery/Citrus freshness Each and every component of this fragrance can be distinguished. Quite timeless, manly and sophisticated but with a playful touch of sweet sexyness. If you care about compliments this might also be something for you. Projection is quite good actually, while performance mediocre. Still this a great value for your money and an amazing fragrance overall. Having smellt so many frags, this one still holds a special place in my heart.

What a lovely e.d.t. Not - in your face - elegant oriental. The King of this party is Tonka Bean with no doubts. And... Sweet ambery note nicely mixed with warm spices and woody note. I'm not getting much citruses freshness here, but more of comforting cozy, sweet spicy and ambery vibes. Very impressive longevity and silage for this budget creation. Very versatile for daily use. Definitely deserves a better score.

her şişesi farklı olan bi parfüm. eski versiyonu tam bir sonbahar kış idi şimdi lavanta ile tüm mevsimlerde kullanılabiliyor Tonka fasulyesi baskınlıktayken bazı şişelerde muska yada lavanta baskın oluyor çok faklı ve etkileyici bir koku fakat 4-5 saat bazı tenlerde ise 8 saat üstü. yeni versiyonunda lavanta bi ferahlık getirmiş ama hala o sıcak esinti duruyor

Good price. Many perfumes have worse quality and higher price This one is clearly a good perfume with a very good price 2 notes are clearly apparent and one is not stated Tonka,cedar and cinnamon it has clearly a touch of cinnamon Projection is good if your perfume is hidden in a cold and dark place Overall I give it a 07,5/10

As a huge lover of tonka, this is great combo of mixed notes. It reminds me of Black Suede Touch from Avon (which I actually dont like) but the dry down is better and its not headache inducer. Calmly woody and just some mild fresh sweetness. For everyday use, very good.

guys i tried it yesterday its a wonderful scent and if you love oriental woodies like pi rochas man bvlgari black, Midnight in Paris Van Cleef, YSL la nuit then try this for sure - wonderful smell - cheap only 12 euro 100ml - good quality - lasts long

My friend, this EDT is amazing!!! This is my first real perfume, and it's like a citrus festival. If you're looking for a scent that feels like a warm embrace with the combination of tonka bean and cedar, you've come to the right place.

Very nice scent. cedar /tonka bean. Nice for the colder weather. YR scents are cheap 10 euro 75 ml, but the quality is remarkable good. I love this. And YR uses natural ingredients 8.5/10. fall in a bottle

Sa sens la Rootbeer avec une touche de vanille sur moi je suis une femme de 27 .Se parfum dure des heure sur moi plus de 8h00 ...Je le mets le matin et sa sens encore a l Heure du coucher OMG ...

I love this one. It's very woody and some people told me it is for older men, but I don't think so. For only 12 € (75ml) it was a good investigation.

Best men perfume from yves rocher. Good smell,long last and good price. This is cheap and chic and strong. I love it.

My boyfriend wore those when we first started dating so I looove this fragrance its so nostalgic and pleasant.

hight dose of fresh spicy nutmeg ,and unfortunattly its not listed on fragrantica , i adooooor this frag

I think this scent has a bit of vanilla in it, but it's not listed in the notes 🥲

- TL;DR: To me this smells like the definition of "warm spicy". It's aromatic, cozy and warm, a bit woody, while still clean and fresh, and it's undoubtedly masculine. - Background: This is the fragrance that started me on my fragrance journey. It started when I was trying to find a good shower gel scented for men, and I happened to find an Yves Rocher store at a mall, found out that they have products for men, and decided to try a couple of their shower gels. I really enjoyed their Hoggar shower gel, because in contrast to all the other "fresh" scents in regular men's shower gels, Hoggar was more warm, spicy and woody. Not at all like a typical soapy fresh shower gel. I learned what "oriental" meant. Then a while later my dear mother bought me a bottle of Hoggar EdT, and it was the first perfume I started wearing regularly in probably decades. This opened my eyes to the fact that "huh, maybe perfumes aren't so bad after all" and I started exploring the world of fragrances. Since then I have found other perfumes that I enjoy more and wear more often, but this is still the one that started it all for me, and I still enjoy it. I'm wearing it today, in fact. - The scent: I don't get much of a "citrus" from this at all, so I'm surprised that "citrus" is the top rated characteristic here on Fragrantica! I guess I can detect a bit of citrus if I look for it, but it really doesn't stand out as a citrus scent to me, especially not in the drydown, and especially compared to most other citrus fragrances out there. It's a little bit sweet, the slight vanilla vibe of the tonka brings a nice and cozy warmth, ant the aromatic woody base makes it feel mature and masculine. The vibe reminds me a little bit of my dad, who used to wear Obsession for men back in the 80s and 90s. This is a really nice scent with a really affordable price-tag. Definitely recommended for any mature man who doesn't want to smell like all the rest of the "blue" fragrances out there.

This is my second fragrance from YR, was I'm amazed and agree that this is DEFINITELY a hidden GEM. I like the aroma of tonka beans with a real genuine aroma of ceder giving it a real woodsy/powdery warm vib. As it settles I'm able to smell just a whiff of citrus. I really like the overall fresh spicy/woodsy notes, PERFECT for the fall and winter months. Both longevity and Silage are very high quality lasting well past 8hrs on my skin. I noticed with the other reviews it lasts regardless of your skin type. My final throughs, I'm still shocked that this truly amazing fragrance only cost me 9.99usd. I couldn't even buy cheap generic stuff for this price. If you want a real attractive fall/winter aromatic fragrance without having to emptying your account...HOGGAR from YR IS DEFINITELY THE ONE. To be honest I bought 2 just over 20used. You can't find this kinda quality fragrance anywhere near this price. I'm going to say it...this frag is darn SEXY AND ATTRACTIVE. I LOVE THIS fragrance. Try it, you'll be surprised how good it is. Rating this frag is definitely worthy of 7.5/10 ⭐⭐⭐⭐
