Bogner Woman No. 1
Bogner (1985)

Bogner is a German fashion brand in the higher price segment, they are also known for their sport outfits. So, it is amazing that their perfumes are not so well known (except for Woman No.1 I haven't seen any others in the shops) and that Woman No.1 is sold for such a low price.

No.1 starts with citrus notes and develops soon into a smoky vanilla. The flowers in the heart notes don't really join in on their own, but I think the amber supports the vanilla in its smokiness. No.1 reminds me of Shalimar, not only from the smell, also regarding the structure. However it is lacking in longevity and sillage compared to Shalimar. Ideal for people on a budget or those who don't want to take their bottle of Shalimar with them / on a trip.
