Jacques Bogart Story Blue is a men's fragrance that sets the fresh citrus bite of lemon and grapefruit against a woody base of white cedar.

What does Story Blue smell like?

Longevity and sillage are both rated strong. Most voters pick summer and spring, with autumn a distant third and winter barely chosen. It leans towards leisure, daily wear and sport, and it also works in an office setting.

The scent as a whole is fresh and aquatic. Lemon and grapefruit give it a citrusy, lightly fruity lift, while white cedar keeps it grounded with a woody line. Sweet and spicy touches stay in the background, and a slightly synthetic sheen runs through it. Hugo Boss Boss Bottled Tonic and DKNY Be Delicious Charmingly Delicious have a close profile.
