What does Bogner Man (1985) smell like?
Its longevity is rated strong and its sillage good. Most voters pick fall and spring, with winter and summer further behind. It spreads across daily wear, leisure, business and nights out. Voters mostly call it masculine and classic.
It opens green and bright with galbanum, rosemary and lemon. The heart adds spicy warmth through cinnamon, geranium and carnation. It dries down to a woody, earthy base of cedar, tobacco and oakmoss.
