Scent Notes: Swirls of absinthe and pipe tobacco, a drop of peppermint, base of warm amber and white musk and a light feminine touch of Egyptian geranium.
Suddenly, a stroke of brilliance flashed into Julia’s head. Of course! If Carmen had been able to get into the house and leave this clue, she might have left another.
Sprinting towards the door, Julia runs down the hall to her bedroom. Surely, she left something here! Julia enters the bedroom and promptly runs to her bed. Throwing off the pillows, she begins muttering to herself. “Where are you, come on, where are you?!” Ripping off her floral down comforter, then the sheets, then the bedskirt, she screams in frustration. Crawling under the bed, she pulls out the copper chamber pot. Oh, there’s something in there, but it’s not a clue. Bleh.
“Ugh. This was a stupid idea.” Julia sighs again, sliding the chamber pot back under the bed. She looks up at her nightstand and her well-read copy of Madame Bovary. She could just make out the edge of a letter sticking out of the bottom.... Click here to read the rest of the story!
I will admit, I did not like this scent when I opened it initially - but I read the insert about bottle shock and allowing the scent to rest, and I'm so glad I did! Opening it up after about 2 months of me forgetting about it was so dreamy - it smelled exactly like the description, with a slight powdery base note that I usually don't enjoy but that carries this scent up and makes it incredibly light and fun. This scent feels like a warm summer night in a city with secrets, evoking a sense of adventure and playfulness - I adore it! I'm so glad I waited. The absinthe/ anise in this one is soft but definitely there. It's not overpowering in any way, but will certainly draw folks in. Thank you and well done with this one, this is a truly gender neutral scent, Ill be reaching for this quite often as the Earth wakes up and the season warms!
Bohemian is heaven in a bottle. It's intense with mint and clean musk and then dissipates onto my skin and clothes leaving a slightly sweeter aroma to it. It's a "grown and sexy" smell for sure. My boyfriend compliments me every time I wear it.
Bohemian started out with a refreshing minty blast that dried down into a lovely, sweet-but-not-to sweet, long-lasting scent. Were it not for the perfect hint of a leather note in Swash Buckler that won my heart over Bohemian, I’d be buying this in the full 1-oz. size. This one is an interesting and complex scent that’s very easy on the nose, so I have a hard time imagining anyone being offended by it. For that reason I see it as a go-anywhere, office-safe scent with year-round appeal. Once all my current supply of Swash Buckler is used up, I just might go back and get more Bohemian to keep the minty freshness going but change it up a bit. All in all, Bohemian is a well-rounded scent with just enough uniqueness to give it an air of intrigue while staying friendly and approachable.
I adore this scent and want to bathe in it. It'll be my go to for hot summer days when I can really enjoy the cool mint and the sophistication that the subtle absinthe notes bring.
Bohemian smells good in the bottle, but in my skin? She smells like DROP DEAD MAGIC.
I caught myself smelling myself all day long, like some sort of olfactory narcissist.
This is the smell I want to be known by.
Did not like how the smelled in the rollerball at first, but rolled some on my wrists and the smell was very ethereal. It's a fresh scent that I would use on the summer.
Bohemian has now become my go to fragrance 👍🏽 Bought my usual roll on and 1mil bottle and immediately was seduced by this smell! Ordered 2 more bottles to make sure I have plenty of this intoxicating smell 🫶🏽 Please don't retire this fragrance! Best scent yet! Thank you 🫶🏽
Wonderful description as always made me want to try it and i was not disappointed. Intoxicating scent that gets better each hour on my skin. Love this scent ❤️
