Bogue Profumo Maai is an Eau de Toilette launched in 2014, created by Antonio Gardoni. Maai opens with Tuberose and Aldehydes, settles into a heart of Rose and Jasmine, and dries down to a base of Musk, Resins, and Civet. Bogue Profumo's Maai carries an Acquired verdict, a floral-led wear.

Maai is a polarising, unapologetically bold chypre that harks back to yesteryear. It's not for the faint of heart, blending animalic notes with heady florals for a scent profile that delights some and assaults others. Definitely try before you buy.

Top, heart and base are the brand's own listing, not a timing claim - the industry classifies a note by its character as much as by how fast it fades. Each curve here is modelled from that material's own volatility, so groups can overlap when a house lists long-lasting materials in its heart.

Best Occasions

Best For:
Date Formal

Given its powerful projection and long-lasting nature, Maai isn't well-suited for office or casual wear where it could be overwhelming. Its complex, sensual accords make it ideal for date nights or formal events, where it exudes a vintage, confident charm.

Declarable allergens

We derive these from the materials behind this fragrance's notes, not from the bottle. Each one is likely, not confirmed. The list is partial - the box can name others.

In standard patch-test panels

  • Geraniol from Rose

Other declarable allergens

  • Synthetic musk Hexamethylindanopyran from Musk

The large name is the everyday one. The small name is the INCI form on the box, so you can compare the two. Reactions differ between people. A patch-test panel is not a ranking of risk. How we derive this

About

An opening blast of sharp aldehydes and creamy tuberose immediately announces its presence. This quickly settles into a rich heart of indolic jasmine and classic rose, before descending into a deep, complex base of musk, warm resins, and the undeniable skank of civet. It's a journey through vintage glamour, raw animalism, and sophisticated florals.
