Bogue Profumo COME: A Green Enigma

If Bogue has ever made you second-guess the boundaries of “green”, COME is their boldest statement yet. With this fragrance, perfumer Antonio Gardoni leans into ambiguity, the kind of scent that oscillates between botanical clarity and veiled darkness.

Olfactive Structure & Character

COME opens on a burst of bergamot, fig leaf, helichrysum (immortelle), and a hint of tea. The green is lush, dewy, and slightly herbal, like walking in a garden right after rain. But it doesn’t stay innocent. In the heart, labdanum, oud, benzoin, jasmine, ylang-ylang, and patchouli deepen the scent. These bring resinous warmth, creamy florals, and a darker woodiness. At the base, the presence of civet (or animalic nuance), vanilla, tonka bean, smoke, and soft musk add a shadowy, dusty contour. The result is not linear but rather a shifting, multi-layered green that sometimes feels fresh, sometimes dusky, sometimes wild.

In classification terms, COME sits between Green Woody / Aromatic and Smoky / Animalic / Oriental. The green facets form its core identity, but they are filtered through smoky, balsamic, and animalic accords that give it weight and complexity.

What Reviewers & Users Say

Fragrantica users note that COME is a unisex fragrance with moderate to heavy sillage and very good longevity, though one mentions it becomes closer to skin after about 4 hours. Some reviews praise the “shimmering greenness” that balances with smokier, darker elements, calling the development “beautiful” with “good longevity and solid projection.”

On Parfumo, reviewers detect honeyed notes, animal undertones (civet), and “narcotic flowers” typical of Gardoni’s style.

SmellStories has a beautifully poetic account: “COME vibrates between contrasts ... the balsamic sweetness of benzoin and the earthy intensity of oud outline an emerald green … the green thickens … oxidizes like exposed metal … smoke and labdanum draw a resinous, deep petrol shade.”

Overall, the community seems to embrace COME as a fragrance for those who appreciate tension, nuance, and a scent that reveals itself over time rather than delivering instant gratification.

How to Wear & When

Because of its green backbone combined with resinous, smoky, and animalic layers, COME works beautifully in cooler weather, evening hours, or when you want your scent to evolve rather than dominate. The projection is not always overpowering, so it invites wearers to get close and explore its quiet shifts.

If you're someone who enjoys fragrances that surprise you (and others) in the hours after application, COME is a poetic and daring choice, a fragrance that feels alive.
