An inconsistent impression

Molton Brown is known for its body care products. Wherever good perfumes are offered, Molton Brown is not very far. Slowly, they are invading the perfume market, and with their latest fragrance line they top the middle price sector. Offering outstanding perfumes is easier said than done, and a critical view is always adequate if five new perfumes are presented at once.

Rogart has made it to my skin, thanks to the attractive top note. That is woody-powdery, and it has this slightly musty quality like foxy paper. To cut a long story short – I was looking forward to having found a well made Dior Homme plagiarism!

But all at once, the picture changed. A resinous note (Elemi?) completely took over, which was unpleasant from my point of view. It appeared very broad and opulent, and it was something that by no means I should like to wear. Okay, this is a matter of personal taste – but rationally observed there was not much more behind it. This resinous note stood in front of me like a block of concrete.

No, I disagree with this change in style. This is not a consistent fragrance development. Both phases of the development do not really go together well, and the sudden change is not beautiful. Rogart is wearable only if you are attracted by both accords. Blame on those who do not test thoroughly before buying!

Canadian Forest Magic

I purchased Molton Brown ROGART in Hamburg for 87€ after testing this and the 4 others from NAVIGATIONS THROUGH SCENT Series Fragrances.The best and more male scent was ROGART.
Fantastic,rarely composition of a fresh wood Scent.Opening with citrus, green notes of a forest in canada and after one hours it leaves into a honey,balsam,woody ending.Warm and tender as for cold winter made.Forestmagic I call him now! A must when you want to be individual, cause there is no other comparable fragrance I know.

It has a good longevity on clothes and deserves a try. The Bottle looks stunning IMO.
scent: 8/10

Canada in 6 hours...

..this is usually done by Far Eastern travel groups with a 5 terabyte SD card in tow;-)!
Here, it’s a rather unknown and quite subtly rated fragrance from Molton Brown (who?) ...Rogart..which is supposed to bring you the essence of Canada.
Thanks to the lovely and ultra-funny JoHannes, I stumbled upon the fragrance at our last perfume meeting. The scents were placed on the edge of the sale at Breuninger..with a decent discount. Joe the H&M sock said briefly that their fragrances are not bad. I had never heard of the brand before..let alone noticed it anywhere. Right from the first scent Rogart, I was hooked, sprayed a little...and I already knew I would take it home today..I was in the right mood to buy:-)! And for a 50, you couldn't go too wrong;-)! I found Rogart simply wonderful from the first spray on the scent strip...there was no free spot on my skin after 4 hours of testing. It smelled so different...and flattered me from the first second, even though it didn’t cause much excitement in my immediate surroundings and probably not here either.
Rogart starts pleasantly sweet-spicy, slightly resinous and seeeeeery balsamic. The sweetness from the delicious maple syrup is perfectly timed, not too much, not too sticky, as one might imagine.
Spicy-sharp...this must be the slight influence of juniper..aromatic woods..warm..wonderful! According to Ludwig Beck, where it seems to still be available, it is supposed to paint a picture of Canada, syrup..spicy forests, cold ice or water..only the grizzly is missing. But it indeed has something very cool, despite the sweetness present at the same time, I love these contrasts! You absorb these individual facets simultaneously without anything playing in the foreground.
Rogart radiates an incredible calm, just how I would imagine a vacation in a log cabin in Canada, even if it plays into all the clichés...I know that myself. I can't tell you what makes this fragrance special..it simply evokes such a great feeling of well-being, I look forward to spraying it just before bed every evening when I come home. Rogart prefers cooler temperatures or at least no direct sun and fits wonderfully into the colorful and spicy autumn! Rogart is calm and gentle..decelerating..but still interesting and captivating...at least on my wrist;-)! The longer Rogart is on, the more the wonderful and fresh green fir aroma and wood aroma come through...it loses a bit of sweetness...just a very nice development. The often used image of a freshly felled tree fits perfectly here.
Rogart lasts a very good 6-7 hours on me, the sillage is quite strong at the beginning, then it becomes a bit more subtle, but you are still very well perceived...even if it’s not a loud market crier...its elegance is very comparable to Roam10.
I am glad to have found this unassuming gem, which I would have otherwise walked past without noticing..I would have really missed something here.

Unripe, uneven, annoying - weak presentation of sweetened lab fir.

I don't know if anyone has noticed, but for some time now I've been feeling a certain reluctance to test new fragrances, let alone comment on them. Perhaps my output over the past few years has simply been enormous, and my desire to discover new ones has been immense.

Currently, I feel quite saturated and a few days ago I started commenting on and rating wines (mainly reds) regularly on Instagram.

This rather randomly selected test drop "Rogart" from my bowl at home, which is mainly made up of giveaways, confirms my current reluctance. Somehow, it takes so much time to work through mediocre or weak perfumes - as rarely as I come across new highlights given the dedication I've shown to the apparently most beautiful and best fragrances and recommendations (which I feel I've tackled about 98 % of).

That this brown scent has already disappeared again into oblivion is not surprising given its oddly piercing and rather unripe stylistic approach.

Strangely sweet (maple syrup) and vegetal (angelica) as well as pseudo-woodsy aromas come together here - sourly framed, flattened, and cleaned up by a rather randomly mixed addition from the Iso-E-/Ambrox shelf.

Annoying stuff - especially since on the other arm I have the wonderfully contrasting remnants of Bogner's "Deep Forrest" wafting towards me, which clearly show how mediocre and clumsily this brown concoction has been thrown together.

A scent to forget...

Canada is rough and cool

My third test candidate from the Navigation though Scent series finally has its own character. This fragrance is meant to lead us into the Canadian wilderness, with its natural forces. However, I don't really experience this scent as green.

The opening is truly unusual. The blend of elemi resin and juniper has a rough and unruly quality, like a gray stormy day.

This weather settles down and reveals the sun! But a warm sunny day is not offered here. The heart note has a spicy and subtle sweetness, but is dominated by the cool, iris-like note of angelica.

The reminiscence of the Canadian forests was probably intended to be conveyed through the base, but these forests are relatively dark and more autumnal.

Rogart is, in my opinion, the most successful fragrance, but I still need one more to make a final judgment on this series. By the way, I was surprised at the price category this series has ventured into. At €82.00 for 50 ml of EdP, we are already in the higher price range.

A (too smooth-friendly) art print of the forest for those who prefer it abstract on the city apartment wall rather than in real life at the door. Ok.

With maple syrup, it starts
