Geranium Balsamic Note

This is very fresh, herbal, and mildly floral in the beginning - it's really quite lovely. I adore the herbal qualities of the geranium, the almost medicinal character of the bay laurel, the green fig leaves, and the pungent woody notes of juniper and cedar. While it becomes a little less green and fresh as it matures on my skin, I also love that it seems to retain its balance between woody/resinous warmth and herbal/medicinal coolness. Considering the notes, I am super impressed with the lasting power of this. The issue I've found with fragrances with similar notes is that they just don't have either the sillage or lasting power that I want. A few hours after applying, the laurel, geranium, and gentle woods that remain remind me just a little of Bois Mystérieux, but this is distinctly more fresh/green/herbal and lighter but not due to lasting power, more due to the difference in notes. It's almost like if Bois Mystérieux offered an "air," "acqua," or other less woody, more springtime/summertime appropriate flanker. Regardless, I adore this and find it to be a fairly unique take on these notes.

The best of Bohoboco Collection remids me of Casbah, but with fresher greenery

Bohoboco Geranium Balsamic Note is a fragrance I did not expect to like this much. This is not something I would usually reach for based on the notes alone, but after smelling it, I was genuinely surprised by how good and well balanced it is. It opens green, slightly aromatic and clean, with geranium giving it that fresh, almost leafy character. Then the cedarwood and olibanum start to come through, making it drier, smoother and more elegant, while the balsamic notes add a soft warmth in the background. Nothing here screams for attention, but everything feels very intentional. It has the vibe of a quiet luxury. To me, this smells subtle, refined and measured. It is not loud, but it is definitely present. It has that quiet confidence of a fragrance that does not need to prove anything, which is probably why it works so well. I think this is generally very easy to like, so I would call it a safe blind buy. Performance is average, but honestly, I do not mind it here. The fragrance is versatile enough to wear throughout the year and in different situations whether you're man or a woman, from office to casual days to slightly more elegant occasions. A good, quality scent that stays calm, polished and very wearable.

Sad face :( I blind bought this in my search for the perfect geranium fragrance. Also my first purchase from this brand. And although this is a pleasant fragrance, it does not satisfy my geranium itch. The geranium is barely there - it is more of a whisper than the scream I am after, and I am just shy of wearing straight essential oil at this stage. It is on the masculine side of unisex and almost smells like a lovely shaving cream. Clean and ever so slightly barbershop-esque. More fresh-spicy and aromatic than geranium centred.

The fig tree is not existent here, Following the correct notes: HEAD NOTES: juniper berry, bay leaf HEART NOTES: cedarwood BASE NOTES: cedarwood, geranium, olibanum, balsamic notes There is no fig tree no resin (incense/olibanum is more exact) and no vetiver.
