Why only...
do perfume manufacturers so often take their best scents off the market and then follow up with so much triviality?
This is also the case here. "Bogner Man" is among my top 10 fragrances (well, since I've been on Parfumo, I should slowly make it a top 20). Maybe because I've known it for so long.
Shortly after its release in the mid-80s, it enjoyed almost cult status among me and my fragrance-savvy friends. Back then, we were mostly students, doing military or civil service, and could hardly afford this little potion. Those who did would provide the others with samples (no, not decants, just a drop on the wrist was all they gave). Luckily, the longevity was so strong that as the "gifted" one, you could enjoy it almost all day long.
There had been no scent like this for me back then, as I was just at the beginning of my fragrance journey. Green, woody, spicy, complex, yes mysterious, that's how it seemed to me, and that's how it still seems to me today when I occasionally take a drop from my two minis that I still have left.
With "Deep Forest," Bogner probably wanted to reconnect with this scent, which, to my knowledge, was also commercially quite successful. Well, "Deep Forest" smells similar, but still completely different. However, it has also become a very good scent, and by now, it has long been discontinued.
Willy, please release the old thing again in its original version. I would buy it by the pallet.

Bogner seems to focus more on their "fashion" and treats the perfume business as a minor side gig. I actually managed to snag an original bottle with the box.
