From your scent profile
Bogue 20 is a chypre-leaning unisex fragrance that sets jasmine sambac, damask rose and ylang-ylang against civet, patchouli and oud.
Skunky's take: Like opening a window: the room feels lighter at once.

ChypreWhat does 20 smell like?
Citrus, green and floral tones sit side by side: bergamot zest and mandarin petitgrain add freshness, while fig leaf and lavender draw a green edge. Underneath, black pepper brings spice, benzoin and vanilla add sweetness, and sandalwood and patchouli lay a woody base; civet gives the whole an animal depth.
Longevity is rated strong and sillage good, with most voters scoring longevity high, though the number of votes is small. It reads neither distinctly masculine nor feminine, staying firmly unisex. Bogue 10 and Rogue Chypre-Siam have a close profile.
