Study piece
This is where one's note picking skills will be put to the test. Bogue 10's complexity is through the roof and after two days of wearing it feels like I have only managed to grasp a few of the facets that this work has to offer.
While the top notes are leafy and zesty, the evolution goes through spicy, soapy, musky and resinous phases. With each sniff, another element and another contrast seems to occur. Creamy fig, fresh lily-of-the-valley, minty geranium, warm resin, sour civet. They have all passed by at some point, while the clarity of these notes seems vary as well. Blending in and out of focus. The core of the fragrance is, I would say, a floral blend with tagetes, immortelle and a good amount of civet underneath. Slightly retro-masculine.
In the end, there is a certain harmonious feel to it despite the complexity. Maybe that is the most impressive part of it all. Personally I consider this more of a study piece than a wearable fragrance, though, and that means I will probably get tired of it after a few wears. In fact, after these two wears I think I have had enough already.
