Sônia Bogner - Bogner Woman Bogner 1987

Today I was allowed to compare 3 full miniatures of the Sônia Bogner - Bogner Woman. One miniature is darker in color and definitely stronger in durability. This version seems to be a bit more extracted - tilted is none of the 3 miniatures. Yay! Unfortunately, the fragrance DNA didn't really capture me. Honestly, the fragrance is so not my cup of tea :-( The shelf life is so between 5 and 8 hours (as I said, the darker version lasts longer). The sillage I feel a little weaker but so far okay.

The top note starts aldehydic with green, citrus and fruity aromas. Here I recognize peach, bergamot, lemon but also an earthy-floral lily of the valley aroma that is disturbing for me. The heart note smells of iris, violet, garden carnation, rose water and jasmine flowers. This is joined by a biting patchouli note, which seems very earthy, woodsy, green and even balsamic - "too much" for me. After a few hours, the fragrance becomes at least more bearable for me. The base offers, almost typical for women's fragrances from the house of Bogner, a lot of vanilla. Amber and benzoin underpin this. Musk and civet bring for me a strong animalism in the fragrance, which I now do not necessarily prefer to smell in women. But tastes are now times different.

Yes, I and Sônia Bogner - Bogner Woman are unfortunately not "warm" with each other. My 3 miniatures may therefore move on. A particular similarity to the Obsession Eau de Parfum I do not recognize by the way.
