This woody, aromatic fragrance draws a contrast with the original chypre blend from 1980. The scent is a daring masterpiece that works best during the fall and winter. Use it during a night out to create a distinctly masculine impression. At the top of the scent experience are bergamot, red thyme and galbanum. This is supported by the heart notes of geranium, agarwood and spices. The drydown finishes with rich base notes of leather, papyrus and patchouli. The cologne holds an excellent level of longevity as well as an enormous amount of sillage. The French personal care and fragrance company Jacques Bogart was started in 1975. This was the same year that it released Bogart, its first fragrance. This family-owned enterprise has 157 stores around the world and controls nine cosmetic or fragrance brands.
