I agree with you BPH is amongst the strongest ever made

Lapidus, Kouros, One Man Show (both editions) & Enrico Sebastiano for starters.

Are we talking about "Bogart" aka "Signature" from 1975? If so, I have to say it's a wonderful fragrance but it's by far not the strongest fragrance - not even close. Neither in vintage nor in reformulated form.

Furyo and Black Afgano are the most potent frags I've come across so far.

1/2 spray of Furyo is about like 7-8 sprays of an average EdT . . . so it's 15x more potent.

BpH is waaaaay too sweet and syrupy for me but I do remember it being very strong.

What are you talking about 'qualities associated with women'?! Bogart is not very manly. What other kind of crazy qualifiers did you forget to mention in you question?

Not sure about Third Man, but Joop is very sweet, which is not normally associated with a masculine frag. I think that's what the OP is driving at.
And saying "Bogart is not very manly." Really, dude? Since when is a cherry pipe tobacco scent *not* manly?

Bogart pour Homme longevity and sillage didn't impress me at all... just ok in my book.

All im saying is that people are giving answers and this guy is disqualifying them for really bizarre reasons. He should have been way more specific. "Please read my mind and only list frags that I have not arbitrarily associated with having feminine qualities."

"Gender association" is a matter of perception. To me, The Third Man is a strong masculine scent that beats Bogart Pour Homme in both longevity and projection. All I need is half a spray of it, and it fills the entire room.

Another frag that beats Bogart Pour Homme (on my skin) is A*Men / Angel Men by Thierry Mugler.

Good luck, and I hope you find what you're looking for.

Bogart Pour Homme (2004) is an incredible modern powerhouse that was created by Maurice Roucel.

It is a wonderful and rich composition that focuses on Tonka Bean, Cherry Pipe Tobacco, Patchouli and Lavender. There is a nice splash of bergamot on top, some florals in the heart, cedar, a nice clean white musk with a dollop of moss...but all of this is under the atomic use of Tonka Bean and the wonderful cherry pipe tobacco, which are center stage.

Funny, but as strong at it is (and I know I will hear it from those who disagree), but this is a balanced and very well-made fragrance that, while turned up loud, is actually very balanced and the dry down is wonderful (a bit linear, but very rich and impressive). Not too sweet for me. So, strength is relevant sometimes to 'how' notes present themselves and how blended compositions are. Personally, I think this is a wonderful scent and an incredible value.

And, for the record, Vintage Furyo, may be strong (very strong, actually) - but only for the first 60-90 minutes or so. Afterwards, it calms down and is a fantastic skin scent. So, out of the gate, both scents can be intimidating. Just spray them on earlier in your morning routine or before you head out so you are already into the base notes and the scents are warming to your skin.

I think both are wonderful, masculine expressions that stand apart from typical 'powerhouse' scents in the notes that are 'turned up'...fantastic, really.

Cheers,

thanks for everyone

I find Yatgan very intense and very long lasting.....even the after shave !!! Also the discontinued Gucci Pour Homme.
Not to mention Xeryus Rouge. Very over the top. They are all for me pretty unwearable for that reason.

Not sure if can beat BpH but I consider Pour Lui by Oscar De La Renta very powerful.
post #30 of 43
I just wonder if the bottle of Bogart pour Homme I got was not a fake because the only thing I remember was a strong, very bad synthetic vanilla note from the begining to the end...
As far as projection and longevity, I find YSL Opium pour homme Eau de Parfum to be a bomb ...

Lapidus will knock your socks off and anyone else's in your vicinity. I wouldn't DARE wear it out of the house.
post #32 of 43
Vintage Aramis will leave a memory you won't soon forget. 8 sprays and you could clear out your house and the neighbors next door.
post #33 of 43
Vintage Jovan Musk for Men - will drive the mice right out of your house.

Creed Bois du Portugal - four or five sprays and you'll be "cologne guy" for a long time afterward.

Lapidus Pour Homme
post #35 of 43
Already mentioned, but I can smell OMS Gold on my skin rather strongly after 24+hours, A*Men sticks around for about the same time for me, Lapidus also hangs around for some time and Bijan for Men, can't say it hangs around for 24 hours, but you have to be careful on the trigger with this one or you will clear a large radius around you. Forgot about Bogart Arabian Nights, this is like OMS Gold on steroids on me, I have yet to see a point where it wears off, I just shower and hope it gets toned down enough for another fragrance.

Quorum anyone?

Ted Lapidus Pour Homme and Montale Patchouli Leaves last longest on me. Bogart is strong though.
post #38 of 43
I am glad that I am not alone with questioning the sillage and longevity of BPH. Mind you I've only sprayed it on my wrist a few times and all I get is a cardboard smell with a little cherry vanilla tobacco. I like what I smell but it is extremely faint. At this point I have to say that Pure Havane is a way better choice between the two minus the cacao note in PH which dumbs it down for the under 30 crowd.

My bottle was purchased at drugstore.com which is owned by Walgreens. I purchased another bottle from Fragrance.net which is on the way to me now. Before I pass my final judgement I will test that bottle. My Ted Lapidus from drugstore.com didn't smell that great either.

There are however quite a few reviews from buyers not getting good sillage and longevity from BPH. I am with the above poster who swears that it just vanishes. No nose diseases on this side of town either LOL

Maybe the fragrance being sold now is a batch reformulation or it is made in a different factory.

I agree entirely with the Montale Patchouli Leaves observation. It can stay with me for 24 - 36 hours.
post #40 of 43
I've either owned or sampled alot of "powerhouse" frags, but recently got some Bijan for Men from another BNer,
This one wins the projection/longevity contest. It's unreal. Too bad the scent is crappy.

Nope. Much as I like it, there are quite a number of frags with better longevity and projection.. But the current formulation *is* better (scent AND longevity) than the previous one.
post #41 of 43
I happen to enjoy Bogart Pour Homme a lot.
A great cheapie.
I get a solid 10-12 hours longevity from mine (I own 2 backup bottles, just in case.......... I paid $22 a piece)

frags that I have used that may overpower BPH:

Montale Black Aoud
Montale Dark Aoud
Tom Ford Tobacco Vanille
Dior Homme Intense
Paco Rabanne 1 Million
YSL Kouros
YSL Opium
Mugler A*Men

I own the very good Bogart Pour Homme but it is overpowered in longevity (out of what I own) by Lapidus (by far!), A-men (vintage), Hertitage edp (vintage), Van Cleef & Arpels pour homme, Opium edp and Kouros (vintage). All are 12+ easily while Bogart is on me like 10 hrs.
Quorum is extremely strong but only for 2 hrs and longevity is 8 hrs on me.

I am glad that this came up because a few reviewers say Lapidus is decent but not the BEAST everyone claims it to be. I guess when you size it up against a Macy's or Sephoras fragrance then it makes sense.

Why do I always find these threads AFTER I make my purchase !
