Projection is really good and solid and longevity can easily reach 8 hours and more so don't worry about them. It has a very fresh, piney opening that puts you on your guard (too cheap smelling?), but then you soon relax because it develops into something rather classy with a lovely creamy warmth. But in the time of our love, you were my only show. My wonderful, honest, generous, energetic, sunny Russian "One Man Show".

Macassar is a niche version of Bogart OMS. OMS is sharper and bitter. Galbanum in OMS is the culprit. Macassar is mellower, I guess they replaced galbanum with artemisia but I do smell some galbanum in Macassar. The reason i wear this fragrance is only because of the longevity and projection. If the edt concentration could be so beastly, i wonder what edp would be like well if they had one. The top note literally exploded before us: freshness, energy, spice. Very hands-on, loud. Very 80's, even though we were in the 90's. Just one spray guys and you're good to go for the entire day. Thats how potent this fragrance is. No pun intended. I like it. One thing: others have described this as being "beast mode" and terribly strong, etc. I just got this the other day, and that hasn't been my experience at all.I can appreciate the complexity of One Man Show but the smell, ugh. I just can’t do it and I’ve tried, trust me. 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. This is nasty stuff. I can’t even say that I’d classify this as old man smelling, it’s just weird smelling as a whole, and also really dark and oppressive, melancholy like, heavy feeling, somber. i know, not 100% what fascinates me so much about the "powerhouse, vintage, oldschool scents", but they pull me in. Just like this.

One Man Show follows the note pyramid to a tee, opening up with with a dry blast of Bergamot, Basil, and Galbanum...transitioning briefly to layer on Rose and Jasmine before closing with Sandalwood, Castoreum, and Cedar. The 85% vintage was never synthetic at all to my nose. Officer Ripley, I am sorry to inform you that the aliens, while trashing our chambers, smashed all of your bottles of One Man Show..." 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. Its wonderful. The top notes are very intense, woods and musk with a hint of basil and cedarwood. This beautiful combination is definitely old school barber shop territory, strong and powerful. Middle notes settle in an hour or so later and it becomes pure Polo by Ralph Lauren, yet a lighter, less heavy blend, with a touch more basil and cedarwood. This sweet spot lasts for several hours without being too strong or cloying. The projection on this is fantastic and the fragrance lingers and fills the area around you with an aura of manliness.Make-up and skincare services, BrowBar benefit, gifting and personalisation workshop, Sephora offers you a whole range of services to come and discover in store 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".
