Story Red Jacques Bogart 2012 Eau de Toilette
1
Red Cloth & Red Card
Bogart and especially One Man Show are said to be true classics, with which I unfortunately have not yet come into contact. The former is, I believe, no longer available at all. But the One Man Show is tempting me for a blind buy at the current price, even though it could also turn out that I feel too young for this 80s hit and it ends up in the souk. But let's wait and see. Today, however, I tried a more modern version of the brand, Story Red. And unfortunately, the only positive thing I will remember about this red story is the connection to Bogart, One Man Show, and thus also Krizia Uomo.
As my predecessor rightly said, this seems to be an attempt to appeal to the younger buyer demographic. Unfortunately, they understandably stick to Joop, Le Male, or One Million, which I cannot blame them for. The Red Story is extremely reminiscent of the gold bars with its bubblegum-orange blossom over amber. Unfortunately, I can't even recommend it as a cheaper alternative, as it smells cheaper, more intrusive, and less fitting. And I actually like sweet scents. But here I’m throwing in the red towel, seeing red, and turning red with anger. Not worth any more words.
Bottle: could be a medipack or something similar from a video game.
Sillage: ulala... Very provocative and strong.
Longevity: after a solid 10 hours, it still wasn't completely over.
I am 100% convinced that the mentioned classics play in a different league. Unfortunately, I am equally convinced after this red copycat that the 2 classics of the brand are also the only fragrances worth testing.
