Bogart Story is a strange line,a confused mix of notes that create a very poor result,Blue is a fresh but harsh mix of citruses and some green notes,maybe lavander too.Not total bad,but it was not a good outing either.

As always, I’ve enjoyed reading the reviews here, good and bad, I recommend you read Cassiano’s review below.
Off the bat, this is a great scent. It is the only Bogart scent in my collection that I would specifically assign to Summer use, although the consensus from users here is that Spring is the best season for this. This is probably suitable for all season except Winter and Bogart fragrances have Winter well and truly covered !
Bogart story blue is listed as a Aromatic Marine, Fern. My view is similar, but more Aromatic, Citrus, Aquatic.
The notes include: Sicilian lemon, violet leaf, grapefruit, fresh spices, sage, marine mix, white cedar, patchouli, marine moss.

Initially it does come across as a very synthetic fragrance with an extreme sileage and lasting power.But wait for the dry down… You will get a nice herbal fragrant minty dry-down revelation. Nothing special in the actual smell thou,but it does lasts 6-8 hours that is unusual for an aquatic citrussy fragrance.

In 2012, the House of Jacques Bogart released a duo of fragrances that depicted the contrast between fire and water; hot and cold: Story Red and Story Blue. The biggest challenge, in my opinion, should have been to create something more refreshing, considering the history of powerful and striking creations, which are rich in spices, leather and intense nuances.
Bogart Story Blue has notes of Sicilian lemon, violet leaves and grapefruit, on the top of the composition. Then, brings fresh spices, sage and marine accord, in the body of the fragrance. White cedar, patchouli and marine moss finish the olfactory pyramid.
In terms of composition, combinations like this already exist in other fragrances, such as in Lacoste Essential Sport, Jaguar Fresh, among others. And for this reason, many fans of the brand got disappointed with this creation. If we look back, Silver Scent (from 2006) already had a “bittersweet” smell, which was much more innovative and controversial than this one. So, the criticisms are understandable.
On the other hand, this is not a bad cologne. Right in the output, you can remember the smell of Silver Scent, albeit very ephemeral. But in here, this output is very weird.
Luckily, it gets better as the fragrance evolves. On my skin, Story Blue was mutant and has gone through 4 distinct stages: a weird output, moving to a more aromatic stage, in which the sage is present and the aroma greatly improves. Then, a new stage with mossy aspect arises, resembling seaweed, which I didn’t like much. So far, it has gone about 1 hour since the application on the skin and the nose has already accustomed to the fragrance. So, it came the surprise: the mossy aspect gave way to a more aquatic base, with a touch of cedar.
I have the impression that Story Blue was a project saved for creating a cooler version of Silver Scent, maybe Sport or Summer. To me, it makes a lot more sense to understand in this way, for I can’t see any connection with the fragrance of Story Red (even in the opposite way).
Like in the most of the company’s creations, the synthetic aspect is very evident. And this is the reason (and the secret) for their power of projection and longevity.
You can come, Story Green. I’m curious about you!

What a mess! Smell like some kind of chemical (not synthetic, chemical!) cleaning product. Remind me of spic n span or the old Tide in powder, like a very strong soap use to clean to toughest of all stain! Something that smell cheap, good to use in you car right after u finish to clean it if u want to have that chemical soapy like feeling, but not on yourself! Longevity and projection are average, which is not a bad think, because u don t want to smell like this. So, let see what we have here:
Smell: 3/10, smell like a chemical ultra strong cleaning product like spic n span.
Longevity: 3/5, between 4-5 hours.
Projection: 3,5/5, arm lenght
Versatility: 1/5, you don t want to smell like this…
Overall: 10,5/25, it is a pass, not a good fragrance IMO, event if it is cheap.

Wow, this is not good. Terrible misstep in this company’s decision making.
Synthetic and muddled, just like its counterpart; RED.
I do smell grape but who wants to smell like synth grape? I got both Red and Blue in a special promo vial packet. Tried them both then saw no need to try them again until I red the reviews and thought I should add my thoughts.
So I tried them both again, one on each wrist…………..just foul when it comes to the Red Story and the Blue is just sad.
don’t buy without sampliing first!

I am a fan of Bogart perfumes but Story Blue is pretty unusual and doesn’t come as a typical aqua perfume. I find the fragrance pretty confusing. Longevity is about 5-7 hours on my skin. It’s a good idea to test before buying it.

IMO it´s a very synthetic fragrance.
st-v – :
got it today and sprayed it on my hand. I do smell grapes but from what? then it goes into this urinal cake direction which is not for me. this scent has been done before I’ve smelled it many times and it is exactly the synthetic mess I never seek to purchase. my blind buys are done. the notes seemed so right but the scent is wrong, at least for me. I should have re-purchased the Ducati it is excellent!
NEED_FO_MY – :
THATS a totally must have perfume if you like the sweetgrapes smell – its amazingly good.
i love it!
reminds the Silver Scent but better finish and more citrus in it.
very long lasting, not as the Silver Scent but will stay on you for at least 6-7 hours even more!
i use it often and when i get to the office wth it – everybody knows.
