0,7738
Bogue Profumo (2019)

07738 is another interesting limited-edition offering from Bogue, presumably exclusively via Luckyscent of Los Angeles, now wholly sold out on its website.

Its rather lengthy note list creates, for me, a rather resinous yellow floral creation, consisting of a few floral players that have a balance of freshness, sharpness, and sweetness: ylang ylang, tuberose, and jasmine. The other main piece is a mix of resins, perhaps labdanum, most prominently, that foster a sort of creamy vibe in concert with the aforementioned florals. Lastly, some woods seem to complement the other items and bring it all together. Overall, it's not a terribly sweet or spicy mix, but rather a creamy floral with aspects of powder and freshness.

The main attribute that needs mentioning is the strength of the juice, however. It's unusually strong for its extended of opening of a couple of hours, during which the sharpness and florality of the blend overshadow the creamy, resinous, and sweet qualities of it.

With extrait concentration and a bottle cost of $245 for 50ml, though, I wouldn't expect much less than a strong fragrance, but even so, the stuff is very strong, so there's good value there. Overall, though, it's a bit too sharp for too long for my liking, and it misses the mark slightly while being interesting and complex.
