Jacques Bogart One Man Show Eau de Toilette Spray for Men 027008

Product Information

The base of the fragrance is almost the same as mid and it's a semi sweet, warm and kind of bitter green, woody and floral scent the overall smells really nice.

To use it properly without annoying anybody and also yourself the weather must be at least cool so except summer you can wear it easily in all remaining seasons.The whole performance right from the start till the end is a classic journey so if you're not into classic fragrances in general ... stay away! And what are the other scents that stand here?" "Oh, these are Soviet products... i don't know if you like them...". We both know that the shows you liked a lot in your youth can be replaced by other spectacles and performances in the course of your life. One Man Show" is a perfume without frills. It is not intellectual and pseudo-intellectual, but relaxed and unstraining. "One Man Show" does not have to compete for recognition, but has a casual, natural authority. Man always feels really perfumed with it: whether at work or at the party. At any time of the day or night, "One Man Show" emphasizes the charming aspects of a male being, embodying grounding coupled with spontaneity and endurance.

As time passes some sweetness joins in and some floral notes showing their faces. the peppery part gets smoother and green and herbal part gets a little bit stronger. This fragrance opens up with a fresh, lemony, herbal, green and peppery aroma that smells kind of like "7Up" and "Sprite" but more intense! bergamot gives the opening a beautiful masculine old school fresh vibe while pine needle and basil giving it bitter green and bright woody aspect and finally lots of patchouli creating a strong peppery aura around all mentioned notes. The bottom notes brings out musky tobacco tones and subtle cedarwood, and it lasts and carries very well. The sillage is well above average and projection is very good. With a generous application I am getting 10-12+ hours of longevity with solid performance throughout the day. To be honest I didn't expect that much from this fragrance based on my experience with "Silver Scent" also from the brand which is terrible in my opinion but "One Man Show" really surprised me!

Key Notes of One Man Show

Projection is really good and solid and longevity can easily reach 8 hours and more so don't worry about them.

OMG, is this a gorgeous perfume! Saw it online for practically nothing and bought it for hubby to try. It manages to have the notes I love in women's perfumes while being thoroughly male, thanks to galbanum, frankincense and the woods. Will add more details later as I study the drydown but, trust me. Buy it, guys. You'll never be sorry. It's the kind of fragrance that, in my younger days, would have riveted my attention long enough to find out who was wearing it.

Review of One Man Show

Finally Lonja had his own bottle of "One Man Show", because if there was a nomen omen here, I thought, then he definitely needed his personal "copy". One Man Show by Jacques Bogart (1980) must be one of the most audacious names for a masculine fragrance I have ever seen, to the point of initially staying away from it when I first saw the stuff in mall perfume kiosks. I assumed it sold to that narcissistic set of guys that believe in the "Three F's" and no, I won't spell out what they are, but when it and it's house of Jacques Bogart kept coming up in recommendations from fellow basenotes users, I decided to let my gaurd down to try it. Unsurprisingly, this is a loud "typical 80's" aromatic chypre of the "powerhouse" sub-genre, but unlike it's name, isn't quite so brash to actually wear. Those who have worn the previous Bogart by Jacques Bogart (1975) will instantly understand this as a progression on that theme. Perfumer Roger Pellegrino took the biker-meets-boardroom appeal of that debut masculine and cut away all safety restraints, bolstering the top notes and cutting out the leather. I'm not saying this is a flanker, but just a continuation of a dry, aromatic theme in a more boisterous and noticeable direction. In some ways this is a less-floral macho man take on Van Cleef & Arpels Pour Homme (1978), and in others, a prototype for Chanel Antaeus (1981). I can appreciate the complexity of One Man Show but the smell, ugh. I just can’t do it and I’ve tried, trust me. I found a 30ml original formula of this, decanted some into an atomizer to be greeted with Rochas’ Macassar dipped in motor oil and freshly changed blue porta-potty water, it’s atrocious to say the least. This is nasty stuff. I can’t even say that I’d classify this as old man smelling, it’s just weird smelling as a whole, and also really dark and oppressive, melancholy like, heavy feeling, somber. The top note literally exploded before us: freshness, energy, spice. Very hands-on, loud. Very 80's, even though we were in the 90's. The top notes are very intense, woods and musk with a hint of basil and cedarwood. This beautiful combination is definitely old school barber shop territory, strong and powerful. Middle notes settle in an hour or so later and it becomes pure Polo by Ralph Lauren, yet a lighter, less heavy blend, with a touch more basil and cedarwood. This sweet spot lasts for several hours without being too strong or cloying. The projection on this is fantastic and the fragrance lingers and fills the area around you with an aura of manliness.

You wore it to our wedding party at the Hotel Kosmos, where there was a bottle of vodka per capita for every guest. You smelled like One Man Show when our daughter started school in Vladimir. And you had that smell on you the last time I kissed you goodbye at Sheremetjevo II Airport in our life together.I know Humphrey Bogart, but who's Jacques?" "A famous designer," Lonja said. "Spray this on your face. You'll see, it's a fantastic fragrance. And expensive here." One Man Show by Jacques Bogart is a fragrance that resonates with a confident masculine appeal. The initial scent is a bold combination of fresh, tangy grapefruit and aromatic basil, punctuated by the sharp, citrusy tones of Italian bergamot. This is gently balanced with the soothing, floral notes of ylang-ylang, jasmine, and rose, with a dash of Brazilian rosewood adding complexity.
