Furyo Jacques Bogart for men

An oriental-floral powerhouse that has a deserved cult status in my opinion. On first spray, it smells seriously aggressive and quite dated with masses of musk and civet that make it veer dangerously into chest-wig macho territory and might be off-putting to some timid noses. At this stage, it effortlessly recalls a bygone era like the 1970s & 80s where its natural habitat would presumably have been on an alpha-male dark and brooding charmer (Amitabh Bachchan, Omar Sharif, etc.). Its closest mainstream relative at this point is definitely Kouros because of the strong civet note. This fragrance then reveals multiple notes and layers as it develops, keeping this wearer delightfully intrigued and sniffing at it incessantly. All the while it maintains a very flowery demeanour. It eventually settles into a surprisingly dandy type of scent with loads of character that’s simultaneously sweet, flowery, and musky. Excellent projection & longevity like all the Jacques Bogart fragrances I've smelt so far. Shockingly cheap too at around US$10 for a 100 ml bottle!

Recommended for so much more than just its brash name and bright red overtly kitsch bottle - that by the way always brings a nostalgic chuckle to my face. Furyo could potentially replace any number of flowery or amber or civet or patchouli orientated staples in one’s wardrobe (Zino, 1881 Amber, Kouros, Quorum, etc.), such is its complexity. It’s a must try especially for Kouros lovers as this is fresher and better IMHO. I believe I may have the reformulated version apparently. Anyway, this is surely one gem that I’ll certainly buy again and again, and thankfully it’s still widely available in some parts of the world.

Just my "Absurd" imagination:


Kilian bought the license of Jacques Bogart perfume, then repackaging Furyo with his extraordinary bottle - labelled it with beautiful name "SOUL TO SQUEEZE" and finally marketed it as "Paris Exclusive - Limited Edition"


Now people will love Furyo or..... "SOUL TO SQUEEZE"

If you are a fan of spicy, oriental scents, be sure to give this one a spray. The cinnamon is noticeable, and in the drydown it smoothly morphs into patchouli, oakmoss and vanilla. I detected a trace of pepper in the mix, but I don't see it listed anywhere up there.
I bought this after seeing the ad in an adult magazine during my teens. That, plus the cool-sounding name was my introduction to this scent.
It is by no means subtle, but you won't forget the fragrance once you've smelled it
Now, was the magaine Playboy, Penthouse, Oui......?

IMO, it smells a type of liquid "Shoe Polish"

A heavy dated fragrance, with lasting projection, but who cares about the smell? :)
