A scent with many contrasts
As many reviewers have already noticed, Jacques Bogart Silver Scent has very astonishing similarities to Altamir by Ted Lapidus and Sculpture by Nikos. I reckon that it is not a pure coincidence, at least not with the former. The Bogart Group owns licenses for both Jacques Bogart and Ted Lapidus perfumes, so I wouldn't be surprised if JBSS and TLA shared the same vibe and aura. Besides, the three of them have nearly all the dominant main notes in common, such as orange blossom, tonka bean, lemon, and amber, plus some other notes eventually present in two of then and not in the other. Altamir and Silver Scent being for cold and dry winter's days, whereas Sculpture being for hot and wet summer's days. Anyway, that does not mean JBSS is either a copy or a clone of the other two... instead, it is an excellent perfume per se.
By the way, Silver Scent is a fragrance with many contrasts, both fresh and warm, modern with a classical distinction. Its opening is surprising with the vibrancy of its citrus notes and the natural freshness of orange blossom. The lemon note is more like the aroma of the fresh juice, stinging and sour, rather than the zesty aroma from the peel, yet delicious.
Let the citrus facet calm down a bit, and a bitter, aromatic spicy aroma starts spreading away. The wild green geranium and the dark lavender, together with the balsamic cardamom, introduce the heart of this scent. This potent mix fills your nose and reaches your mind, completely soothing your soul. It is dark, deep, mysterious. Silver Scent is my first JB scent, and I think I love it. It is the stage where the resemblance with TLA is more prominent.
As a final note, after several hours, an attractive accord of vetiver strengthened by teak wood blends into the intense sensuality of tonka beans. This stage is sweet and musky, genuinely masculine. Even though I know very well the smell of the lychee, my favorite Xmas fruit, I do not get any in there. Instead, a musky and mossy note is recognizable.
I enjoy this fragrance—excellent longevity and sillage. I was wearing it on a working day; none of my colleagues got offended, and yet I got some whiff of it in the evening on my way back home. Suitable for late fall and throughout winter, for people of middle 20 and above. An excellent value!
I am looking forward to buying some other JB fragrances!
