I adore this fragrance because it plugs into a primal need I have for baby sweet, soft fragrances which serve to calm as much as serve any other purpose. This doesn't mean that Rogart is devoid of sophistication because it's very grown up in it's approach. It's the softness and comfort I like about it and perhaps even bordering on the more feminine. The opening is really sweet, I don't know about Juniper berries (which I find quite bitter) Rogart is more like a synthetic blend of fruity berries just for that initial minute or so. Then it becomes clear what this fragrance is all about and it's creamy, woods. The unmistakable signature sweetness of maple is a welcome addition to this fragrance and works perfectly with guaiac wood, it really is a marriage made in heaven. Along with angelica and what I perceive as vanilla, these are the major players throughout the heart of Rogart and long into the drydown. Elemi is listed as the resin in here but I honestly think this comes off warmer and more of a benzoin/amber type smell as it settles out too. This is very interesting and rewarding fragrance, who's creamy woods is reminiscent of very high quality Guaiac and sandalwood fragrances. The main ones Rogart reminds me of is Donna Karen Fuel and Atelier Cologne Santal Carmin. I've worn this a few times since I purchased it earlier this year and I have to say the performance and silage seemed average. However, today I've been complimented on it, told 'your dog smells of your perfume...it's very nice' (obviously rubbed off when cuddling him) and I can noticibly smell it quite strongly on myself. This is due to a heavy application and is often (not always) the answer to a weaker performing fragrance...spray more! Another great from Molton Brown.
