Bogart CityTower Jacques Bogart for men

@ Shamus1

I agree this is horrendous, about the only frag I tried and cannot stand. Going to charity, but probably should go to the bin.

This is awful, and generic with a capital "G". It's another sweet, chalky smelling "black" fragrance, like a ton of others. There's some incense in it, but it smells chemical, not woody or resinous, and when it blends with the overpowering tonka bean and sugary white musk, it's borderline nauseating.

I smell none of the citrus, oud, geranium, labdanum, etc. that are listed above. I get tonka, tonka, tonka, musk and fake incense. It's the worst Bogart scent I've tried, and I like most of their perfumes. Yuck!

MY RATING: 4/10

I like City Tower but I have to say I like the opening notes more than the dry down. On me it dries to a VERY strong musky leather and it lasts FOREVER. A shirt in the hamper for two days still has the aroma on the sleeves where they rubbed on my wrist... I got it for less than $15 so I am very happy with it!

نسبت به قیمتش فوق العاده است
بوی بسیار خوبی هم داره

Just like other Bogart lines, masterpiece in nice price. City Tower is a formal men stuff, woody and semi-heavy but opens lighter. Somewhat rare and unique but nicely familiar and nostalgic.

Very good scent for the price. Strong and fruity with some warmth but has heavy green notes that make it edgy and quite fresh rather than sweet-fruity. Fairly linear on me. It reminded me a bit of Jazz Prestige, but I prefer CityTower to JP. I don't get any cardamom or much leatheriness in here.

It is very strong initially and has excellent projection for a number of hours. With 2 sprays it was still strong on my skin at 11 hours and still projecting quite well. Stays strong on skin for around 14 hours and still projects but only an inch or two by then. I could still just about detect it on my skin the next day (21 hours).

Overall I'd describe this as strong, quite fresh and green/fruity. If used very sparingly this is great stuff and I will definitely buy it again.

This fragrance start with huge blast and smoky incense, sweet musk and nutmeg. strong and sweet but at the same time so smoky and dark.
After about 10 minutes, incense become stronger mixed with some oud in the background, giving this fragrance even more smoky vibe!
In the base, incense and oud are weak in the background with leather and musk hand to hand and some floral notes.
A good fragrance for fall and winter with great projection and longevity.
یه عطر خوب با قیمت مناسب برای پاییز و زمستون
رایحه ابتدایی این عطر رایحه شیرین مشک هست با مقدار زیادی رایحه تلخ و دودی که رایحه این عطرُ شیرین و تلخ میکنه
بعداز حدود 10 دقیقه، رایحه دودی قویتر میشه به همراه کمی عود که باز هم بوشو دودی و تلخ تر میکنن
حدود یک ساعتی که میگذره رایحه دود و عود به مرور ضعیف و ضعیف تر میشن و کم کم رایحه چرم جایگزین اینا میشه به همراه مشک و کمی رایحه های گل و گیاه. خیلی کم البته
پخش بو و ماندگای خیلی خوبی داره

Bogart City Tower Smells same Like Bogart Pour Homme, But not strong as Pour Homme. This is soft. Projection is okie & Longevity is good. But Bogart Pour Homme has better Projection than this. Cos Projection is a must for perfumes, so this one has less Projection. If u want smooth & soft smell then this is for u.IF u want stronger mean Then go for Bogart Pour Homme. I Like it.

There is nothing really like this. City Tower opens with a burst of boozy fruits & citrus with smoke, woods and nuts. Then it goes peppery, woody and nutty - a bit like Antonio by AB. It's almost a gourmand. I don't get much leather here. The drydown is soft, mellow and distinctly nutty with some wood and a bit floral in the background. Later on I get fragrant spice and ...whoopee.. some soap. Great for wintertime. It's quite an experience smelling the development of City Tower on my skin. An unusual, unique strange and complex fragrance that evolves and lasts and it has a lot of character.

This is quite creamy and dense, and is dominated by a tonka/vanilla quality, though the bergamot and myrrh incense are obvious too. Some have compared it to Azzaro's Visit, but the dominant notes in Visit are wood, dry incense, and nutmeg (I also find Visit to have a slightly metallic quality). Some have said it's like a light version of Bogart Pour Homme, but I think of BPH as a tonka/pipe tobacco fragrance, whereas Citytower clearly is not. I don't get any strong wood notes at all. And I don't get the oud either, so I wouldn't even consider comparing it to M7. There is a hint of something leathery (don't expect Knize Ten type leather here). I think I'd say it's closest to Pure Havane without tobacco (at least one stage of PH), but this lasts a lot longer and is linear. So, think of the first hour or so of Pure Havane if PH had no tobacco. The spices take the place of PH's tobacco, and there is no patchouli here (which I like, because there are a lot of fragrances out there with that kind of base already). It may have some similarities to Opium Pour Homme (I haven't sampled that one in about 3 years so keep that in mind), though it's not as loud as a fragrance like Black XS. I suggest misting tbe air and walking through the mist for your first wearing, and if it's weak only then spray it directly onto your skin.

UPDATE: The One Gentleman is similar to this but less powerful and with softer blending. Since the density of these kinds of fragrances tends to bother me, I'd choose TOG over City Tower.

City Tower smells far better, is far stronger, and is longer lasting than it has a right to be at its price point (barely more than $20 for 100mL). It could easily be passed off as an EDP. Sprayed it on before bed, and yup, still there in the morning.

I ordered this because the notes are very similar to Amouage Epic Man. I can't afford to drop that much on a fragrance, so thought this had the potential to be a decent alternative, especially since Bogart seems to have a reputation for powerhouses.

The bottle is deceiving. There is nothing light or aquatic or blue about this fragrance. It is a purely oriental concoction.

I find that it seems to be a well blended combination of Epic Man and Penhaligon's LP No.9. Very spicy and incensey, announced with an opening of pink pepper. The drydown remains strong and distinctive, with the musk coming through. I don't get much leather. The oud is a bit understated I think, but it is there. I could do with a bit more. Spices rule. And they last forever.

City Tower won't replace Epic Man (it doesn't really touch the luxury or quality of Amouage), and I still have my eye on that one . . . but at least this will hold me over for a while, and will be something to wear when I don't want to use up the really pricey juice. It really is a great frag. Definitely worth the buy. Even blind.

I got my bottle at Cheapsmells, but the best price I could find was at Scentsations of Troon.

I bought this based on reader reviews here, and I'd like to thank them for it.
City Tower is a unique scent, in the sense that it has no clones in the market. The scent separates the men from the boys, as it is suited for the above 25 crowd.
The initial burst of citrus and incense instantly catches one's attention, and it dries down to a nutty, peppery scent that is very elegant. An hour later, the combination musk and leather rears its head. The scent is very Mediterrenean, and it brings to mind warm, even hot, climes and whispering winds amidst infinity pools.
Traces of labdanum wafts by every now and then, and the agarwood is ever present in the base.
This is a potent scent, so apply sparingly. I sprayed a tiny amount on my forearm, and 4 hours later it is still very much detectable.
Jacques Bogart may not be as popular as other perfume houses, but I am definitely won over by City Tower!
Any guess as to who created this fragrance?
