Scent Profile

Composition

Timeline

Showing: Overall Blend

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.

Its strong projection and long-lasting nature mean it's not ideal for intimate settings like dates or formal events. However, its fresh, clean character makes it a fantastic choice for casual wear, especially for the gym or high-heat situations, as many reviewers noted its refreshing quality during workouts.

About

Bogart Story Blue opens with a massive, almost industrial-strength citrus blast of lemon and grapefruit, instantly hitting you with a fresh, clean laundry detergent vibe. As it settles, herbal notes and a strong watery accord emerge, giving it that classic aromatic aquatic feel. Some even detect a surprising 'grape soda' sweetness, which adds another layer to its bold, unapologetic character. It's a clean-smelling, powerful scent that doesn't hold back.
