It opens with a burst of incredible mossy greens that blend with roses, jasmine, and green tuberose, all enveloped in a transparent veil of golden, shimmering aldehydes. The plush bouquet is mesmerizing in its depth, and combined with the animalic elements, it's truly heartwarming.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eThe musky, leathery, and dirty elements add a powerful roar to the delicate swirl of feminine florals, transforming the fragrance into something unisex with a masculine edge that will appeal to fans of the legendary Kouros, or Musc Koublai Khan. As MAAI unfolds, balsamic resins awaken in the base, adding subtle smoky and honeyed accents. At the same time, the overall fragrance slowly deepens, becomes richer, and softer thanks to amber, enveloping the musky leather with its warmth and taming its greasy scream. As it finishes, MAAI transforms into golden velvet with a soft, plush blend of amber, musk, and oakmoss.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eMAAI is one of the boldest and most sophisticated chypres created in a long time. A symphonic masterpiece in the vein of Jubilation 25 and Kouros, it's not a fragrance for the faint of heart, but for those who mourn the loss of vintage glamour with an animalistic edge. Black-tie galas seem like a perfect occasion for this incredibly opulent, concentrated fragrance, as do moments when you want to seduce with naked sensuality. The unconventional heart of MAAI beats with such impetuosity and passion that it almost feels alive. But at the end of the day, everything pales in comparison to the luxurious oakmoss, applied in layers so lush that it takes our breath away. MAAI is the epitome of refinement in the great tradition of haute perfumery, and we're sure its timeless beauty will impress even the most discerning connoisseur. \u003cbr\u003e\"I remember the French designer Philippe Starck once declaring in an interview that the only two countries where he didn't have to enumerate the finest points of texture and detail in his objects to the production staff were Japan and Italy.\" The exquisite packaging of Bogue perfumes sets a standard of luxury that many other niche companies should emulate. MAAI is a magnificent piece from the past, almost like a classic pre-World War II fragrance, like the original Dandy (D'Orsay, 1925). It looks like one too, a proper golden brown, the way perfumes used to be. I can't overstate the joy you feel when you smell something like that. It's like being front row at the Vienna Philharmonic after two months of listening to ringtones; the sound is so glorious that you don't care if they're playing Die Fledermaus. And MAAI is even better than that, an animalic, woody chypre with big bones, seemingly laden with all the glorious ingredients we knew and loved before the end of the story: musk, oakmoss, eucalyptus, cedar, bergamot, patchouli, sandalwood, jasmine, ylang, rose, tuberose, etc. Unusually, all of them are listed on the accompanying paper. If you're thoroughly sick of smelling the work of Swiss biochemists filtered through the prescriptions of Danish dermatologists, this is the fragrance for you.\" (MAAI review from \"PERFUMES, THE GUIDE\" by Luca Turin)\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Bogue Profumo","offers":[{"title":"50 mL","offer_id":47295070077272,"sku":"BG-MAAI-50","price":190.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0777\/6544\/3928\/files\/bogue-profumo-maai-bottle.jpg?v=1755114098"},{"product_id":"bogue-mem","title":"MEM","description":"\u003cp\u003e Since Aimè Guerlain created Jicky in 1889, no perfumer has done something so radical with lavender.\u003cbr\u003e Antonio Gardoni takes the sunny herb from his garden and guides it through clay, wood, minerals, burnt sugar and wax, creating a new form, like steel forged by the elements.\u003cbr\u003e MEM contains all the characteristic Bogue signatures, but represents a clear advance in complexity even compared to the masterpiece MAAI.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eMEM opens with a dark lavender note that smells less of fresh herbs than of clay and porcini mushrooms. Soon, sunshine arrives in the form of hops, toasted malt, and the pale, aldehyde-laden beer, lifting the fragrance from its humus-rich opening. The burnt sugar of the ethyl maltol caramelizes the lavender, creating a phantom fruit note like the dark, almost calcified contents of a forgotten peach jam jar. But as the mind adjusts to that accord, MEM shifts again, this time into a rich floral heart of jasmine, rose, and ylang-ylang, sacrificing beauty to the more interesting facets of wax, gasoline, and rubber. Indian sandalwood, with its wheaty milkiness, and Himalayan cedarwood, with its lingering smokiness, work together to energize the florals and aromatics in the base. The drydown, robust and beautiful, interweaves the sweet dust of unlit incense sticks with the musky, salty, animalic base of a barbershop fougère.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eMEM isn't a perfume that's easy to interpret, but it will reward your patience a hundredfold. As for who can wear it, MEM is a chimera: sometimes it seems masculine, sometimes feminine. Beautiful, idiosyncratic, and memorable—we think this is artisanal perfumery at its most daring. \u003cbr\u003e\"MEM is by far the most complex and ambitious fragrance Antonio Gardoni has ever composed, and smelling it in one strip is a bit like trying to read a closed book: the sheer density of the scent makes comprehension impossible. On the skin, the breeze turns the pages, and the book becomes legible. MEM is a three-movement work played by a 107-piece orchestra the size of Parsifal: a fresh, camphorous lavender-laurel accord in the top note that says, 'Fear not, you good people: soothing, spicy-fresh, and masculine,' and would live happily on its own; just behind it, a huge, unexpected, regal jasmine-rose accord that breathes natural quality; and in the background, an animalistic drydown in the great bogue- \u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003eRetro style. In terms of balance, texture, and sheer symphonic opulence, MEM plays in a very rare league.

It's a forest in spring, a motel room with a green carpet, an astronaut wearing cologne, trees, wooden furniture, taxidermy, a botanical garden, cigarette smoke, and a crystal-clear sky.
