So I love Burberry London... a lot! I think it's pleasant, well mannered lovely, sexy, refined, professional reviewers be damned, this is everything a cologne should be. But it lasts about 2-3 hours, and that kind of longevity just isn't acceptable. So what's a frag lover to do...carry a decant? hardly. So after reading some reviews of Bogart pour Homme comparing it to London, I thought I'd take a chance and order it; and wow; if you're a London lover this frag is an absolute MUST buy.
So what's it smell like, imagine Burberry London without the pepper, but ramp up the gourmand cherry aspects, that's Bogart pour Homme. It has all its cherry and tobacco up front and drys down to a warm silky fragrance. Unlike the Burberry though, it has the silliage of a nuclear bomb and lasts for 8+ hours. So now a public service announcement, or a word of warning, unlike the well behaved London, this sucker comes out of the bottle and hits your nose like a freight train, so some notes on proper application are required:
DO NOT SMELL THE TOP NOTES, it will burn through your nasal passages like a hot poker. The proper application is two sprays on a shirt, leave the shirt for about 15 minutes then put it on. After that, the resemblance to London will hit you like a ton of bricks. If you must apply to the skin, apply it to your back, NOT your chest. Like I said, this cologne means business and it's gonna make you work for those tremendous middle and base notes.
All said, this is one hell of a bargain, if you see it, aren't afraid of sweet scents, or, obviously, if you love London, buy it immediately.
