Eau Fresh Jacques Bogart for men

Impossible to find this in my country. I located it in Singapore and I was surprised to say the least. I have always associated Bogart with the ever present OMShow,which IMHO still sells strongly despite the stick it gets. Eau Fresh was an interesting experience for me, it was fruity-spicy-warm and fresh-clean at the same time meaning it stays close to you as an office scent and it projects when you are outdoors and it lasts all day. An intelligently constructed scent, not pricey but smells expensive.

Very green, citrus and fresh. The drydown is minty and herbal - it's great. Longevity is only OK but it's a nice fresh man's cologne like the name says. In the same family as Green Jeans or Eau Maximum. It's a nice summer scent for men.

I bought this 'blind' due to the similarity of some of the notes to Higher Energy by Dior and though it is nothing like HE it is quite an interesting scent...

A great citrus mix combined with sweet pineapple, meets warm anise and green galbanum and tarragon, quite a complex first impression. Light and fresh, slightly sweet with an underlying green warmth, subtly spiced. At first I thought this should have been classified as an aromatic fougere, but the green factor warrants it's aromatic green label. As it develops, the spices overpower the citrus (corriander, nutmeg and sage)but remain very green as the galbanum persists. The flowers in the heart soften this but I cannot pick out any of them individually, except for maybe the carnation. The drydown is piney and green, and the moss is heavy and cool. The patchouli adds to the dark earthiness and the vetiver keeps it very clean, despite all the spices and finishes on a very classic note.

No, it's nothing like HE, but it is a well-made scent that women seem to like and I enjoy, as it is very outdoorsy smelling and is a good choice for a fresh scent when the weather turns cold...

Sillage: great
Longevity: excellent
Overall: 3.5/5

This scent was not what I expected, at first I thought Brut/Canoe, but we all know how deceiving first impressions can be. This is very aromatic and utterly green and may be too much for some younger guys, but is not an 'old' smelling fragrance. The herbs are quite pungent and the citruses make them more so, and the galbanum's strenght may take the volume too high for some.

I find it a very solid scent that agrees with my chemistry and makes me feel as if I just came back from a camping trip or hiking weekend, powerful and fresh...
