Bogart pour Homme Jacques Bogart 2004 Eau de Toilette

Bogart pour Homme piqued my curiosity with its positive feedback and especially with the repeatedly mentioned "cherry tobacco" note. In my early youth, I occasionally bought a tobacco pouch secretly and found that smelling it was far more enjoyable than actually smoking it, using a corn cob pipe that was affordable for the time. Not to mention the coughing fits and the burning on the tongue.
Anyway, I was able to acquire this fragrance for a small amount of money, and quickly my resolutions regarding blind buys went out the window. I really need to work on that :-) , because for me, this scent is an unbearable misstep.

It all begins and ends with an incredibly sweet and heavy cherry note, almost as if tons of maraschino cherries have been dumped in front of me. Generally, I do like the scent of cherries, but this is just too much for me, as loud as it is. There’s no trace of the tobacco note, which isn’t listed in the pyramid anyway. The progression is linear, and only towards the end does the cherry recede a bit, becoming a little spicier and more vanilla-like. The presence of BpH is extreme and very loud, and when it comes to longevity, there’s nothing to complain about. In my view, however, it’s not suitable for the office.
