The Emerald Experience
It's true that everyone has their own taste… But there are facts that are facts.
This fragrance is a perfect addition to the line and has the signature dna of the collection. That is a fact: You smell it blindly and - if you know the other flankers - you'd probably say:
- It's a "One Man Show."
… And a really good one. This “Emerald Edition” is fresh, herbal and sweet in just the right amount, which makes it perfectly wearable into spring; perhaps it has less projection than others OMS, although the scent is intense at medium distance and it's very long lasting.
Only Jacques Bogart smells like Jacques Bogart: Let's be clear, these aren't fragrances for the average Joe… And they aren't fragrances for the snooty elitist, either. Jacques Bogart 's real customer is actually a “fragrance aficionado” who belongs to a specific “niche”… And yes, you read that word right.
Maybe you can sneakily smell it and swear you don't like it, or try to deny it spouting the impertinent word "synthetic" (especially in perfumery, the paradigm of a chemical epiphany…). Perhaps Jacques Bogart fragrances aren't art; maybe what they are it's just olfactory porn.
But well, I’m delighted to add the newer OMS to my collection; Jacques Bogart fragrances always have something bold and differentiating; they’re brave and honest. Not much else to think about, just order it…
… And enjoy your “Emerald Edition” experience.

Neither bingo nor skateboard
This fragrance has a note of those fantastic Italian lemons… With a breeze of violet and geranium, galbanum and nutmeg. This blend is sitting on a wonderful base of oak moss, patchouli and a soft and velvety leather…
Pure bottled elegance.
Here we have a fresh, creamy, seductive and manly fragrance. Well… Maybe It's not for “kids”, and almost mandatory to wear it well-dressed (It's perfect with a suit).
Very long lasting for a fresh fragrance, specially on clothes (I can smell it days later) and approved for all seasons.
So grandpas, stop longing for the past and enjoy modernity; This is a classy and contemporary scent that you can wear perfectly in a lounge club on a summer night, and not just in a bingo hall of a nursing home.
… And kids: Buy a good suit, fix that hair and start to wake up; it's time to park the skateboard and play with the most precious ladies… Or don't you want to?
Well, with these last two sentences, I think it's clear what is the mood for this fragrance.
… Enjoy it. :)

Bottled Mist
This fragrance is one of my daily favorites... And I'm tired of reading unsustainable nonsense about it, criticized for exactly the same reasons that praise others.
Boss Bottled Night is simply one of the best of its kind, and probably the most personal of them all (talking about fragrances with "shower gel & clean" vibe).
Yes, this juice has all this and much more: BBN emanates a kind of mist around you, evoking a mysterious but neat cloud, decidedly charming and ideally nocturnal.
Longevity and projection are slightly above average and it's suitable for many occasions; definitely a perfect fragrance for business men and the office... But it shines when it shines: From dusk.
It has all the magic necessary to shine at night: The sharp and daring violet that cuts through the atmosphere and demands attention, an aura of mystery and neatness and its seductive musk that brings warmth and invites proximity.
Boss Bottled Night is the perfect scent for an executive stuck in a relaxed meeting after hours or who goes out for a drink at night with his colleagues after work:
Put a flawless young businessman in a modern dark suit; add a nice smile, a dusk, an attitude and a good setting...
That's Boss Bottled Night.

The Spell Of A Rose
A wonderful perfume, perfectly unisex, that fits fabulously on a sophisticated man.
As you can imagine, the star of the show is a rose, a Taif rose: It's soft, creamy, subtle, slightly tannic and delicate... So this fragrance doesn't smell like the typical spicy and powdery rose, but fresh, green, mild and "alive".
This perfume opens with pink pepper too, giving way to the captivating rose that leads all the journey, where Vanilla, Amber, Musk and Patchouli act as supporting actors in a perfectly balanced concert.
- Longevity: Above average.
- Projection: Moderate with a classy aura.
Perfect for all seasons, avoiding excessive heat and cold.
As I said, the perfume is soft and even somewhat refreshing, so it’s suitable for well into spring or early summer. It goes great with a suit and also to perfume a romantic situation that involves calm and/or oriental exoticism.
- Conclusion:
•The Black Rose• by Trussardi is one of the best rose-based "designer" fragrances that a gentleman can wear.

Class Bottled
I've always liked Boss Bottled; the problem is that here in Spain it's a fragrance with an overwhelming success: Almost every time there is an occasion when people are wearing suits, you smell Boss Bottled. The same for Boss Bottled Intense, too.
Finally, this 'Absolute" iteration comes out and I have to say that it's really good: More modern, classy and refined than the OG & Intense. Also, it has a different vibe... Which allows you to wear it next to the others and not smell the same.
... And I'm not going to say better or worse, but different enough; I've read people who say it smells the same and this isn't the case at all. However, if you aren't able to discern the nuances, don't buy it.
The Scent:
It opens with apple, bergamot and plum, masterly blended in a gentle balance expanded with cinnamon and subtle woods. All of this is sustained and harmonized with a soft musk and other notes that add depth and a watery - but not the typical aquatic -vibe.
The final blend is sophisticated, elegant and modern.
Mood & Occasions:
-Boss Bottled Absolute is a very classy signature scent to wear with a suit on all occasions involved. Of course, it's an attractive and sensual fragrance, without losing an iota of confidence and class.
Best seasons are Fall, Spring and Winter; Summer if it's not too hot.
- Longevity & Projection: It lasts long enough, but it's a smooth projector (6 - 8h).
This is the type of fragrance that I use for long days with all kinds of situations, including a night out.
In these cases I usually have the bottle on hand or carry a decant in my pocket... For me, this is better than a strong fragrance which can be excessive at various times of the day.
Conclusion:
A modern and elegant signature scent. Excellent choice for executives, even at formal events... But for other types of uses and scenarios, you may prefer Boss Bottled Intense.
