About this deal

One Man Show doesn't shy away from making a statement, making it a good choice for fall and spring when it can truly shine. Finally Lonja had his own bottle of "One Man Show", because if there was a nomen omen here, I thought, then he definitely needed his personal "copy". bergamot gives the opening a beautiful masculine old school fresh vibe while pine needle and basil giving it bitter green and bright woody aspect and finally lots of patchouli creating a strong peppery aura around all mentioned notes. There is a slight skank to the opening too, so fans of Kouros (1981) and Lapidus Pour Homme (1987) will appreciate the lack of subtlety here, while users of the more dapper Dunhill Edition (1984) will find redemption in the interplay of cedar and sandalwood base notes.

I found a 30ml original formula of this, decanted some into an atomizer to be greeted with Rochas’ Macassar dipped in motor oil and freshly changed blue porta-potty water, it’s atrocious to say the least. The base of the fragrance is almost the same as mid and it's a semi sweet, warm and kind of bitter green, woody and floral scent the overall smells really nice. Instead it is best suited for the more cooler, overcast and rainy days of early spring or late autumn. One Man Show is a proper powerhouse that delivers on all fronts for the man still wishing to make this kind of aggressive statement in the 21st century, although more moderate guys might relegate this to the history books because unlike other early 80's classics such as Oscar de la Renta Pour Lui (1981), this one has "no chill" and eschews balance in favor of projection and longevity. One Man Show by Jacques Bogart is a classic men's fragrance that offers a robust, multi-layered scent profile.

One Man Show' by Jacques Bogart could be easily described as a lighter version of Polo Green by Ralph Lauren.

At first spray it's a sort of basil green aromatic scent which settles into a floral to wood development that reminds me of something you'd wear to a smokey casino in old Vegas.

but then you soon relax because it develops into something rather classy with a lovely creamy warmth. One Man Show follows the note pyramid to a tee, opening up with with a dry blast of Bergamot, Basil, and Galbanum. i know, not 100% what fascinates me so much about the "powerhouse, vintage, oldschool scents", but they pull me in. To calculate the overall star rating and percentage breakdown by star, we don’t use a simple average. This is followed by intriguing undertones of green and woody notes, providing a balanced nature-infused aroma.

Unsurprisingly, this is a loud "typical 80's" aromatic chypre of the "powerhouse" sub-genre, but unlike it's name, isn't quite so brash to actually wear. It manages to have the notes I love in women's perfumes while being thoroughly male, thanks to galbanum, frankincense and the woods. I'm a big fan of this type of woody/mossy/aromatic old-fashioned masculine fragrances, and this one definitely doesn't disappoint. As the other reviews say, a very masculine scent, but at the right amount/time, surprisingly and delightfully complex while still being approachable. If you are all about wearing frags that do not sit on the fence, One Man Show timelessly fits the bill 100%.I'd wear this more if I was a banker, I think, someone who is keen to find value and who has no time for nonsense. We do not share your credit card details with third-party sellers, and we do not sell your information to others. Projection is really good and solid and longevity can easily reach 8 hours and more so don't worry about them.

To be honest I didn't expect that much from this fragrance based on my experience with "Silver Scent" also from the brand which is terrible in my opinion but "One Man Show" really surprised me! One Man Show by Jacques Bogart (1980) must be one of the most audacious names for a masculine fragrance I have ever seen, to the point of initially staying away from it when I first saw the stuff in mall perfume kiosks. I like the style from this time, 1980, but I get an air freshener smell that makes it a neutral for me. I cannot imagine what to do with the rest of the bottle apart from use it as a bathroom air freshener.It's the kind of fragrance that, in my younger days, would have riveted my attention long enough to find out who was wearing it. It seems a little unbalanced in its 'masculine powerhouse' style, with the emphasis being on masculine; there is no contrasting note or accord to complement the assertive leather and the woods. Perfumer Roger Pellegrino took the biker-meets-boardroom appeal of that debut masculine and cut away all safety restraints, bolstering the top notes and cutting out the leather. OMS does not even make the list of my top fragrances with terms to the scent but this does not change the fact how beautifully this fragrance has been composed.
