The reason i wear this fragrance is only because of the longevity and projection. If the edt concentration could be so beastly, i wonder what edp would be like well if they had one. Macassar is a niche version of Bogart OMS. OMS is sharper and bitter. Galbanum in OMS is the culprit. Macassar is mellower, I guess they replaced galbanum with artemisia but I do smell some galbanum in Macassar. Base notes are Oakmoss, Leather, Cedar, Styrax, Sandalwood, Amber, Tonka Bean, Coconut, Vanilla and Castoreum. Projection is really good and solid and longevity can easily reach 8 hours and more so don't worry about them.
Just one spray guys and you're good to go for the entire day. Thats how potent this fragrance is. No pun intended. 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. Fragrance Review is an online magazine featuring expert opinions, information on trends, and the latest product releases from major brands in the fragrance industry. 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! I like it. One thing: others have described this as being "beast mode" and terribly strong, etc. I just got this the other day, and that hasn't been my experience at all.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. OMS does not even make the list of my top fragrances with terms to the scent but this does not change the fact how beautifully this fragrance has been composed. Its wonderful. Bogart's One Man Show has a reputation preceding it, of its hyper masculine demeanour, and being able to clear rooms on account of its strength. While all of this is rather exaggerated, there is indeed an element of truth. I find One Man Show to be dry, sharp and even aggressive at times. It opens with a sharp accord of citrus, basil and galbanum; very soon the leathery attribute announces its presence, and this feature is similar to leathers such as Versace L'Homme and Van Cleef & Arpels Pour Homme. There's an astringency in One Man Show, and this persists throughout the mid phase where the herbal elements persist, there is an added note of incense, and any floral element is barely discernible. In the base I register some mossy woods and labdanum. Duration is excellent and sillage is good based on a moderate application. 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. 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.
Both were released in 1980 and had the same perfumer. I guess Roger Pellegrino was just being lazy :) 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. 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.
One Man Show by Jacques Bogart is a Chypre fragrance for men. One Man Show was launched in 1980. The nose behind this fragrance is Roger Pellegrino. 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". Rather old-fashioned, masculine, barbershop type scent (because of the oakmoss). I also get the artemesia, pine and leather.
Great Deal
