Magic Mushrooms

I have five fragrances from Bohoboco in my collection, but I haven’t had the chance to explore the all collection yet. However, Magic Mushrooms stood out to me from the start and I just had to share my thoughts on it. From the first spray, it’s bold, surprising, and undeniably unique. The opening hits with a bright burst of grapefruit, balanced by the dry, green touch of cypress. Almost immediately, an earthy mushroom note emerges in the background, adding a fascinating depth. The cannabis note is subtle but blends seamlessly with the fresh green accords, creating a scent that’s herbaceous, fruity, and spicy...all without being overwhelming. As it develops, the fragrance takes a wild turn. The heart is a rich mix of aromatic herbs, thyme, lavender, and davana, with a touch of blackcurrant adding a gentle tartness. The overall effect is deep, vegetal, and beautifully blended. I love how the earthy mushroom note lingers, grounding the fragrance while spices like clove add complexity. The dry down is what truly captivates me. It feels like stepping into an enchanted forest mossy, woody, and earthy, yet incredibly smooth and wearable. The liqueur notes bring a hint of warmth, while patchouli and vetiver add richness and depth. It’s the kind of scent that evolves beautifully over time, becoming softer yet still intriguing. One thing that can’t go unnoticed is the color of the juice! A stunning fluorescent pink that shifts with the light, adding to the fragrance’s psychedelic vibe. Honestly, it makes me think of Alice in Wonderland as if taking a leap down the rabbit hole into a world of unexpected wonders. Performance-wise, it holds up well, though I personally wish it projected a little more. Longevity is solid, lasting several hours with a soft yet noticeable presence. That said, it’s definitely not a crowd-pleaser this is a scent for those who love complexity and uniqueness. If you’re intrigued, sampling first is a must. Simply fascinating !!

I have never gone from “absolutely not” to “my bottle is on its way” faster than when the grapefruit in Magic Mushrooms disappeared. I’m unfortunately one of the people whose nose registers grapefruit’s smell as a sweaty body odour, to the point it was the dealbreaker for this otherwise slightly dirty, herbal (reminiscent of sage tea) perfume. It disappeared from the opening quickly, only to return 10 minutes later. Despite providing a freshness to the scorching blend that burns the back of the throat, I wrote: “Enchanting in such a strange way but not something I’d wear due to the grapefruit.” Suffice to say, I ate my words within an hour, when Magic Mushrooms transformed into a dusty, slightly aldehydic (which to me added a hint of soapiness), wet, herbal blend with a base reminiscent of castoreum. I knew I had to have this unique, wonderful, and honestly pretty fragrance. I have smelled nothing like it — it’s an herbal dream! I can’t necessarily speak to the photorealism of the smells, but the best part of Magic Mushrooms is that none of its notes has an off-putting artificiality. Depending on your personal impressions, the scent can be perceived in various ways: meditative, dark, sylvan, hippie-ish... but never synthetic, which plagues so many perfumes. In this regard, I’d even say “fragrance” is more apt a name for Magic Mushrooms than “perfume”, because no part of it can be described as perfumey! Don’t take it to mean this is an ephemeral scent, no, absolutely not, because it was still going strong after 12 hours. To say I’m wowed by the vision and the execution alike would not be enough to express just how smitten I am with Bohoboco. This is what niche perfumery should always aspire to be.

I like this quite a lot, it is very unique. People don't mention the aquatic note, but I smell it prominently. I think it is so well blended that it is not obviously aquatic. Someone described it as smelling like the forest in Alice in Wonderland.In that case it feels very much like a wet mossy forest where there has been recent rains that have whirled up the smell of all sorts of plants. It smells mysterious. It apparently has a mushroom note I am not sure exactly how to pick out the mushroom note. I can smell the cannabis, but only because I was told it was in it. Because it is blended with all sorts of things, but I can definitely smell it in it now that I know it is a note. It is a very pleasant and strong fragrance. Would be a fun signature scent. It isn't exactly fresh, but green. Light. People say it is sweet, but I don't feel that. More floral, but not feminine. Perfectly unisex, very pleasant fragrance and doesn't smell like anything else I smelled before. The only fragrance I tried in the "This perfume reminds me of" section is sloth by Zoologist and it doesn't smell much like that to be honest. I could imagine an actual rainforest after rain smelling like this. I never been in a rainforest though. It smells like some exotic imagined forest, I am considering this as a signature scent, it would be a fun one.

I'd sampled more or less 70 perfumes in the last 3 months and this is one of four that really stood out. For me it's so special, I just got a full bottle after going through 2 samples. It's weird, but so, so good. I can't stop sniffing my wrists. It wasn't super popular among my friends and family (I always have to share what I like), but I love this so much I don't care about others' opinion here at all. It's intriguing but comforting, tart and damp but also soft. It's like a charismatic outfit with a chunky sweater and big pants, comfortable but with a lot of thought put into it to make it work. I can't really pick any specific notes from this after the first 30 minutes, where the grapefruit and cardamom are very clear. In high heat the dampness became a little too sour and unpleasant (30+ degrees), so I will wear this spring and autumn. For winter it might be too wet, I imagine I'd miss a cozy element. It's not very perfume-y. More a fragrance that I could also see as a room scent. I'd say its unisex with a masculine lean. It lasts long, I think a full day on my skin and until laundry on clothes. I'm sure it's a love or hate, so anyone intrigued should give it a try with an open head.

🍄 Neon Mycelium in the Opera of the Absurd 🧬 I land on the stage of a pink opera. The opening is a vivid, neon grapefruit and icy cypress – as if someone shattered a fluorescent bulb filled with citric acid. It’s bright and sterile, the blinding light hitting the nostrils directly. The trip thickens with damp cannabis and stifling herbs. Mushrooms appear, but instead of forest floor, there is the scent of sweet orange Vibovit powder and a strange umami note. These olfactory fractals flicker between fruity energy and the smell of Maggi seasoning, which, in this madness, feels entirely in its place. The lights go out. The neon pink rots, transforming into dark patchouli and wet moss in the theater's basement. Magic yields to decaying earth and cold soil. The trip ends, leaving the scent of decomposition and elven dust on the skin. It’s a ticket to a private psychedelia for those who aren't afraid of compost drenched in sour liqueur. @the.scent.files

I love this scent. However, it will not be to everyone's taste. It's an extraordinary perfume in the first sense of the word and I don't recommend blind buying it. The first impression is puzzling : there are many notes and it's a very peculiar smell. To me, it smells of rhubarb, grapefruit and cypress with an earthy mushroom in the background. I don't wear it every day because the projection is huge. Its complexity is a big plus for me. The notes wouldn't have appealed to me at first, so it's better to try it. For those who like to stand out. It's fresh and punchy.

One of the most unique scents i’ve ever come across. I was intrigued but worried it would smell like the dankest weed ever smoked. Instead, it lightly smells like a fresh cannabis plant, not the dried stuff you smoke. The mushrooms are definitely there alongside the other earthy green scents like vetiver, cypress, and oakmoss. All of this green and earthiness is surrounded by a sweet and sour blanket of citrus and resin. Absolutely incredible just unique this really is. Totally worth having in a collection and could easily be a defining signature scent year round.

A lot of the reviews here are wrong. This is addicting and unique and amazing. I think people read the name "magic mushrooms" and get tunnel vision. I think people have charged emotions about mushrooms. Some think it's supposed to smell like mushrooms. no wonder they are disappointed. This is a wild, fruity, green, spacious fragrance. My gf has pointed out that it dries down to maple, and she is right! one of the most fascinating fragrances. I will probably splurge on this and be very happy that I did. Just gotta do my taxes first. Bye!

One of my overall favourites. Not for everyone, probably not for you. BUT if you're looking for something outrageously complex, psychedelic and unique, that's the one. I married my wife wearing this perfume. It was magical and mystical. Imho results vary due to how it blends with your skin natural odour. Wearing it on hot summer days may be risky, better results with cooler weather. Give it a try before purchase, I must admit I was very lucky buying it blind.

Marijuana, damp musk, enveloping forest, juicy mango, undergrowth, ecstasy and contemplation. That’s the atmosphere this fragrance evoked in me the first time I smelled it. Those who get it, get it. A unique perfume, eccentric in a deep way. Strange in a psychedelic sense. Sweet, herbal, juicy, woody, with just the right touch of bite. Spectacular.

Wooowww.....this is SO special.....It makes me want to smell it again and again. It's not for everyone for sure, but omg I love it. Shrooms, grapefruit and very much of marijuana are well presented and SOOOO well put together.Not a daily perfume but definitely the one that will shock in a good or a bad way.

I love this! This smells like mushrooms, exotic cannabis, Thyme and a lil lavender covered in truffle butter and cooked in a skillet. I feel like the mushrooms a lil stronger than the cannabis but I do think the average person would smell cannabis. This might be in my new top 10.

This is very earthy fresh. It's like damp soil on a forest floor with some underlying freshness to give it some lift. I absolutely love this scent. Haven't smelt anything like it. This one is very unique and I'm glad to have it in my collection. Definite love for me 😍😁.

A sweet and tangy, stretchy gum with a currant flavor. Or like chewing gum wrappers.Later, it really smells like pesto with lime. Raw mushrooms, cardamom, moss, and cypress. An absolutely intriguing scent. Can take on a masculine character and go into shaving foam

Very mushromy and earthy indeed-on paper! On my skin it smells like sweet strawberry with some mild green spice. Pleasant and light, fruity with green notes.

Selling a bottle for $130, will send pictures on instagram @ruined_cc

I don't own it, but had an opportunity to test the fragrance on my skin when I encountered this new release in one of local perfumeries around. And actually I thought Magic Mushrooms are peculiar enough that maybe my review would ignite someone's curiosity or the other way round - prevent someone from making a purchase they could regret. Who knows? English is not my first language, so the instant association that came to my mind forced me into a rabbit hole of weird research and sent me to a little trip into the past and the crazy world of confectionery and natural medicine. Do you know why marshmallows are named as such? Yes, I mean the fluffy, totally non-vegetarian, gelatinous, vanillic hypersweet monstrosities that kids are crazy about. Well, this scent is not this, sorry to ruin the moment of suspense. Magic Mushrooms don't begin with your diabetes-inducing modern marshmallows, however, they are the marshmallows from the past, the ones that originally got the name after a plant called (surprise!) marsh-mallow, or simply mallow, because they were made of it. I do remember a variation of this kind of lozenges in my home country, you could get them as a kid to soothe your sore throat. And this is exactly like the headnotes in Magic Mushrooms smell to me. Ultra herbaceous and a funny mix between just slightly sweet/bitter and oh yes, so savory at the same time! I initially thought of mint and oregano mix, but looking at the notes I assume it must have been mainly thyme all the time, but my nose mislabeled it. The mushroom / weird undertone is also there. At this stage the beauty of the scent might be debatable or highly polarising, but as it develops, it also becomes more wearable, although definitely not a typical "pretty" scent and it will never be. Until the very end it doesn't lose the specific hint of herbal sweetness and the savory note, now tamer, smoother and a bit saline, and it keeps you hooked and smelling your wrists. Unisex? Definitely. Niche? Hell yes, might offend some people at your office. Many people will probably find it "ugly", "strange", "unpleasant" or just "too much" for daily use. It's not that eccentric if you're into the niche thing, but let me assume safely that most of your colleagues probably aren't. Not suitable for all events, I would avoid it on multiple social occasions, considering some people might be sensitive and don't appreciate it's herbal (slightly) trippy oldschool vibe or nostalgic sense of heaviness that might come with it. However, might be a great signature scent for the quirky ones, nice for nights out too. I think it could perform best in autumn, winter and during the first fickle chilly spring weeks. Longevity is around 6 hours, sillage quite loud during the initial 2 hours, but then it transforms into skin-close scent in no time. This might differ from person to person though, my wrists tend to absorb perfumes quickly. Overall: I would recommend Magic Mushrooms, but not as a blind buy. I will be happy to obtain a decant if I get the opportunity. It could take some time until I finish it, so I find a full bottle unnecessary. It really is, unless you really love the scent and can imagine yourself using it often.

It’s Quinto’s credo not to believe marketing fuss, and you know what? This time I want to be the most naive consumer and buy their description of the magic mushroom name, and here’s why: Michal Gilbert Lach says it’s a capture of the essence of his journey, and I guess I know what the journey he mentioned was. The fragrance definitely appeared after a one-month trip to Amsterdam with only one reason: the visa of the creator to the US for a blast in Vegas was declined. This is the most stoned fragrance I’ve ever smelled, that cannot be created without that experience It’s a green of all greens composition with lots of different plants, some of which I can’t even name or imagine to be real. Compared to this fragrance, Hermès H24 is just a simple and fresh aquatic scent. Most of the greens are from wild fields and forests, with the most prominent being immortelle, which grew everywhere in my childhood After the dry-down, it loses the green madness and gets some kind of unique notes. I’ve never tried the magical plant, yet I believe I smelled it on the street a couple of times and it’s very close to the smoke that came from a group of laughing themselves to death young gentlemen in fancy gray sweatpants and black TNF jackets. It's a smoke that irritates the throat and also smells very similar to hookah charcoal and tobacco with a hint of burnt hair. I genuinely got scared and wondered if I'd accidentally set myself on fire while testing it - looks like the "magic" has started to work Is it even safe to carry the bottle through the airport with you? Dogs might go crazy even before you get close to the entrance. It's an incredibly funky and wearable composition that made me believe in its naming and build an image based on it. Thank you, Bohoboco, for giving me the chance to taste the smell of what I, fortunately, never became.

When bohoboco announced that they would release the "Magic Mushrooms," I was very curious about how this fragrance could smell. Especially when I saw the note breakdown, I was very excited and looking forward to trying it. In my opinion it’s the most creative and unique release of the year! Opens up bright, fresh & citrusy with a blast of grapefruit combined with a dry, earthy and green cypress accord. There's also a subtle sweetness along with a spicy touch in the background. In the mid the fragrance reveals its herbal character.A gorgeous deep & rich mix of vegetal, aromatic & green accords along with a subtle sourness. In the background you can detect the earthy and musty feel of mushroom note along with some spicy nuances. It’s very creative, perfectly blended & quite unique as I haven’t smelled anything like this before. The overall feeling of the drydown is like you are walking into a deep & dark forest.The herbal, earthy, mossy and woody, aroma and vibe is definitely still there but it’s quite smooth making the scent even more wearable & easy to like! Amazing creation! it’s definitely unisex & can be worn in any season except from very warm days. Ig fragrancesguru

For quite some time I could not find any perfume that I would be actually interested in apart from Magic mushrooms. It is an extremely weird perfume, but like..not too weird? Uniquely weird? After the first try of freshly opened bottle it definetely gave a strong unusual scent, to me it is a bit funeral like - in my country it is common to bring white roses, lilies and chrysanthemums to the funerals, so there is a very distinctive smell associated with it. Somehow first notes remind me this funeral home smell, even though none of those flowers are in the perfume. However, it changes quite fast into something more fresh and more neutral, which also reminded me of Bohoboco’s Wine and brown sugar a lot, mixed with some other perfumes of theirs. But not too heavy. And I would not say it holds for long in general. I do not smell weed at all. Would probably call it more masculine smell, but I would use it anyway.
