Review on Jacques Bogart One Man Show Gold Edition Eau de Toilette, 100 ml by Petar Barnev ᠌

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Everything is fine, there are only minor drawbacks.

The scent was a birthday present. I really liked One Man Show the very first time, the first time I heard it in 84. Shared memories with a loved one. She gave this fragrance Gold Edition. She got it from Wildberries. Packing without mica. The cardboard of the box is thinner than it used to be with One Man Show, but not quite as thin as cheap colognes. Inside, the cardboard has also become thinner and softer. The bottle looks okay, but the quality is also a little worse than the original from the 90s. The scent itself is interesting. It hasn't lost that characteristic feature of One Man Show, like a slight tickle / tickling of the larynx when you listen to this fragrance. Resistant enough. 2 puffs are enough for a day. But . . The aroma is peculiar. At the first perception, I associated it with an Orthodox church during the festive Divine service. The first notes characteristic of citrus, anise and red apple are felt literally for 1-2 minutes, then incense becomes the dominant. Frankincense itself is quite an intrusive and active aroma. And there are a lot of them here. It spoils everything. It adds a kind of sweetness and beats One Man Show's signature masculine astringency, bringing this scent into a casual, everyday fragrance between cheap and mid-range fragrances. And this period (perception of incense) lasts quite a long time. Hours 2. .3. Then it goes down, but doesn't disappear. No frills, no flair. For an amateur (incense). Mandatory testing is required before purchase.

Pros
  • Persistent, interesting, there is a hologram. Doesn't look like a fake
Cons
  • Packaging, ordinary flavor
