Quite a bad first impression
Smelled "Hoggar" by Yves Rocher (Contained in a bottle similar to the one containing D&G The One) a few days ago in a store here in the city, major retailers of the brand, a pretty nice guy attends there.
However, having smelled other alternatives of the brand such as Ambre Noir (Which i love, astounding creation, one of my favorite cardamom and resins / leather kinda frag which i did the review separately) and some others like for example the Autour De Minuit and Cuir de Nuit, i find Hoggar to be rather poor in its smell when compared to the previously mentioned perfumes of the brand. It's not bad but i find the aroma rather close to insecticide or an Axe bodyspray in particular. Not disgusting at all but not something i find a "good" perfume or that i would wear.
Bottom line: Your opinion might differ heavily. This one was not for me at all, i will try to see if i can get the Autour de Minuit and Garden Party in offer and get some nice higher end unisex modern perfumery from those creations. As long as i know, Hoggar is not signed by any perfumer, opposite to others like Ambre Noir (C. Raynaud) and Bois de Sauge / Cuir Vetiver (Sonia Constant) so that would explain its rather poor choice of notes, from my point of view.
