Silver Scent (2006)
by Jacques Bogart

Sweet, fruity and synthetic fragrance.
Smell like strong and synthetic Raspberry to my nose!
It's not bad for casual use at work. specially if guys and ladies at your work don't know much about fragrances! ;)
It's cheap with very good projection and longevity.

Nice Bogart launch! Kinda fruty oriental. Starts of citrus fruty notes and then the sweet appears with tonka bean and lichya. It has that same swede touch, like velvet, you find in One Million. Littlle creamy I´d say. Sillage monster, and on skin it lasts the whole day ou even more. A week on your clothes (lol). It´s sinthetic? Yes. But I think it´s a very good option for those who like Sweet Orientals with a monster projection/sillage and low budget. Recomended.

Citrusy and herbal opening, then some fruit, then a phase of chemical mess and then some vanilla with the fruit. Overall I don't think this is particularly good and it probably isn't even worth the sniff, let alone sampling. Surprisingly good longevity and mid-range projection.

This scent reminds me of Regine's for Me that came out briefly in the early 90's. It's a fruity mix of orange blossom - vanilla - fruits. I kind of reminds me of an Orange Julies or a Orange Cream Sickle.

This is one of those scents which got the "what on earth is this!" reaction from me. The last was Salvador Dali pour Homme, which i ended up loving to bits. I have come to respect my "WOE" reactions. I bought Siver Scent blind because the collector in me is building up on the J Bogarts.

Silver Scent introduces itself as a wood-smokey, intriguingly oily Fleur de Male, due to the strong orange blossom note they share. Several minutes afterwards, when the inebriated and newly-introduced orchestra members get their musical act together, the star player comes into play: litchi. And Silver Scent contains dollops of litchi in the base. I guess this fruit note is responsible for the rather appropriate "jelly-bean" association. I discovered that Silver Scent is (perhaps one of) the only litchi scents marketed to men. This was a risque move by Bogart, but for me it works. Silver Scent is a straaaange scent. Remove the litchi and SS could have been something else entirely, and perhaps for the better. SS is also spicy, but is so strong that i honestly cannot identify the spices. I just know there are some heavy-hitting suspects in it.

SS is a sillage sledgehammer. Nothing sedate or even civilised about it. Its longevity is phenomenal, and would definitely be a fitting form of punishment for someone naughty (and who doesn't like the scent) to have to spend its entire longevity-span with.

Synthetic? Definitely. It smells more aromachemical than fragrant, if that makes sense. Yet that does not disqualify it in my books. Once again, this is a straaaange scent. Industrial-cleaning-productish? Its not difficult to understand the association. Is it a safe scent? If Salvador Dali pour Homme is considered safe, then yes, and pigs would fly. It will not be a raving success in Western markets, that's for sure.

Do i like Silver Scent? Funny enough, i do. A lot.

For the first time in a review, i will advise that you try, with respectable trepidation, before you buy.

My friend were raving a lot about this perfume, and all I could smell is a synthetic mess. It's not REALLY REALLY bad as a scent per se, but there are so many fragrances that do what it does a million times better, And they don't have to offend you with such insane projection. By no means its' hard to find an alternative to this, Burberry London is an easy one.

If anybody claims that this scent gets compliments, it's probably because it has a lot of sillage, and sometimes being loud gets more positive attention than being actually good. Be thankful if none of your friends owns this and suffocates you with this monstrosity every time you ride the same car with him.
