iridescent fragrance facets on lush moss
They glisten like pearls of dew on the damp, lush cushions of moss, surrounded by greenery and strong juniper, which is already evident in this composition: the fresh aromas of various citrus fruits; it is not without reason that they are called "Hesperides Gold" This freshness, enlivened by juniper's spiciness, is surprising: these fragrance notes resonate extremely well together and immediately want to play along in the concert of fragrance sounds, creating an extremely pleasant and harmonious overture.
Dewy, pearly, tart, spicy citrus freshness and bright, noble cypress green complement each other and cannot be squeezed into a pyramid this time.
There is no leading score: every fragrance note is here everywhere and almost at all times! Richly scented white bloomers drape themselves stylishly over what is already there:
White and sensually fragrant cascades of jasmines and precious scented roses meet here with the enchanting beauty of gardenias, whose blossom was once so often worn as a "buttonhole flower"; I also remember the fabric creations that were attached to a pin and festively adorned many a costume jacket lapel.
They meet ylang ylang, the long tendrils covered with bright yellow and summery fragrant flowers.
Their joint glow pervades this successful aromatic fragrance composition like a swarm of flashing fireflies, accompanied by the bright sounds of flutes, in which the great old, gnarled oaks with all their mysteries are now also given their turn at muted timpani.
We are drawn into the depths of a powerful-sounding aromatic embrace; but there is no danger of getting lost or drowning in it.
Bright, clear resins, topped with cool, divine incense accents, protect us from this: their smoky web protects us from too much dark fragrance magic; silky and woody, accompanied by cedar, they lead to a harmonious and rich finale in which light and dark, blooming summer floral beauty and serenity and ancient mysticism unite to create a charismatic fragrance work of art of particular depth and radiance
Floyd has already said everything about Antonio Gardoni; he can do better than I can and I can only agree with his comments from the perspective of a woman who is no longer young.
We are both following the golden beetle, just each of us on our own path.

"AG" by Bogue is one of those special fragrance creations that my dear Can777 keeps giving me; he knows what I might like and also knows the limits of a fragrance world that would probably still overwhelm me today.
But I think he will be ready for the next step in my "fragrance discovery" and at some point he will take the training wheels off my still wobbly fragrance tricycle.

It also took me some time to find my way around here and to put this search for the magical heart of "AG" into words.
It was definitely worth it.

The Quintessential BOGUE
BOGUE Profumo AG. A special project created to celebrate the 10th anniversary of the house.
Indeed, a special one, in terms of the olfactory composition itself, while also assembling two other amazing artists, Livio Scarpella for molding the ceramic caps, and Maria Francesca Broggini for creating the beautiful handkerchiefs for the Arts & Crafts edition. A crossover of different arts, to culminate with a tremendous achievement.

As a piece of olfactory work, AG is incredibly complex. I believe the formula uses around 100 ingredients, hence, that is to be expected. It seems to emphasize certain facets in certain climates, and also from wear to wear. It never behaves the same. Sometimes the citruses are stronger and stay for longer, other times I get more of the base ingredients, sometimes more moss, and others civet. However, the overall structure doesn't change, just certain facets being showcased differently. It is hard to classify this perfume. It's a bit of a Green-Chypre, a bit of a Woody-Oriental, and a bit of a Floral perfume. It feels like a cumulation of many BOGUE works into one. I get some MAAI, O/E, Dieci, OOOH, and Lita. The progression follows a cohesive top-mid-base build, and it feels like the entire work is smelled through a frankincense smoke screen. Similar to the effect used in OOOH, but with a more tangible smoke accord. The trip feels like walking toward a forest far ahead. You get a blast of juicy citruses and crushed greens in the opening, sweet and refreshing. The heart makes use of many floral notes that are hard to pinpoint, although the ylang-ylang and the gardenia are easier to separate from the rest. Finally, the base gives away plenty of woody notes, from cypress, juniper, and oak to sandalwood, but also plenty of resins that provide warmth, sweetness, and smoky facets. Lastly, there is an oakmoss earthy bitterness which pairs with the slightest civet to create the chypre feel. The progression, as mentioned, is cohesive, but the three layers always shift with an overlap between them. Hence, sometimes I find the citrus notes to last through the base. Others, I discover the woods and resins prematurely. That's the beauty of this composition.

To me, AG is probably the easiest to wear perfume from the BOGUE catalog, mostly because I don't find it as loud as others, nor as challenging, and because it touches on multiple genres, offering an ultimate olfactory experience.

After an uplifting citric spicy-green opening, this thick and resinous floral-woody Chypre, settles to a warm and dry earthy-woody base.
