Jacques Bogart Bogart Story Red is an Eau de Toilette launched in 2012. Bogart Story Red opens with Orange Blossom and Lavender, settles into a heart of Cardamom and Mint, and dries down to a base of Amber, Cedar, and Labdanum. Jacques Bogart's Bogart Story Red carries a Statement verdict, a fresh-led wear.

Bogart Story Red divides opinion more than a marmite sandwich at a vegan banquet. Some will love its bold, in-your-face sweetness and powerhouse performance, while others will find it unforgivably synthetic. Not one for the faint of heart, or nose.

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.

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.

Declarable under EU Annex III

  • Lavender Lavandula Hybrida Oil from Lavender
  • Spearmint Mentha Viridis Leaf Oil from Mint

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

Bogart Story Red opens with an intoxicating rush of cardamom and mint, quickly joined by the creamy, slightly indolic sweetness of orange blossom and lavender. As it settles, a rich, resinous amber accord dominates, underscored by a subtle cedar woodiness. This is a powerful, sweet and spicy creation, with a distinctly synthetic yet memorable character.
