Red Wine Brown Sugar

Bohoboco is my favorite niche house that I've tested so far. They created powerful and avant-garde pieces of art that have the perfect edge between nature and the industrial world. Today is the day of Quinto's first niche review, and this review is about my second most loved fragrance, both from Bohoboco and any niche brand in general This is not a fragrance but a timestamp of a moment. The moment when a fancy dinner becomes a hysterical madness, and you don't know when everything went wrong. It captures the exact flash between the recreation of elites at a fancy, invite-only party and screams, brawls, and panic. Imagine someone splashing ancient and gourmand wine over your white shirt or night dress, and after that, you feel only three things: the smell of the wine, the smell of your anger, and how you slowly enter berserk mode It's in fact photorealistic wine that, for some reason, smells odd, almost psychedelic, and maniacal. The alcohol of the fragrance itself steps out to support wine made of red grapes, with hints of cherry and smoldering wood. It intoxicates me and spins my head in the most elegant way. And the odd hints are what make it not just a wine but something more evil, on the edge of being here and completely detaching from the world The only fragrance I tested with a similar profile is BORNTOSTANDOUT Purple Stain. While being less expensive and much less powerful in comparison with BTSO's Extrait, this one substantially outperforms it. Purple Stain can be described as the smell and texture of sparkling wine with a prominent fizz of bubbles. Here you get a much clearer smell of fancy red wine with slightly burnt sugar and a polite leather note, like from a luxury purse. This is the smell I want to share with the world. I want to hear it on myself, my lady, friends, people I don't know - everywhere. Extremely powerful, alluring, and addicting. Definitely night-oriented, leaning more toward fancy dinners, parties, and dates. I don't drink alcohol, but this one is my alcoholism.

Red Wine Brown Sugar by Bohoboco is a nice and realistic wine fragrance that is super rare especially when done correctly just like fragrance as it smells like you in a work of art composed by one of the world's best artists. The wine note makes it a beautiful fragrance as it takes an original and basic fruity accord and enhances it to make it way more boozy and authentic using a red wine note. The dry down involves a super sweet brown sugar note as marketed on the bottle and it too is very authentic and gives this fragrance a boost of sweetness and overall makes it more unique and interesting. There is also a hint of caramel to give the sweetness from the brown sugar note an extra pop but that just could be me. Its price value is amazing as well at $185 retail and for a very niche fragrance that is amazing as it can be such a good fragrance for a bargain for more mature fragrance enthusiasts. Its longevity is substantial as well as it lasts around 8 hours which is outstanding for a fragrance that includes fruits and boozy notes as they don't usually last long the sillage is quite strong but nothing special so don't expect something crazy from this fragrance. Overall this fragrance is a super sweet wine fragrance and while I can understand all the comments saying this smells like a Mother's Wine club.

This was a blind buy and I was really excited on the red wine note, as in the name. When first sprayed i immediately smelled the wine note, but it faded fast. It becomes a dark, soapy and leathery smell, it has a vintage/nostalgic makeup vibe, which I'm not disappointed about. It reminds me of my mom's box of makeup, in the early 90's, mixed with a sweet note. I don't smell raspberry, not in a fruity tart way, at least. I can stretch my imagination to a mellow glüwine/mulled wine. It's a sophisticated and grown-up perfume, and to me it's a feminine scent. Not sure about this on a warm sunny day, but I can see it as a night time scent, during fall/winter. Haven't let it sit for long, only about 30 mins so far, so i have to come back later for the dry down. Edit: after a while it had a brief moment with red berries, still not tart, and then evolved more into a leathery scent, making it more masculine. Soo.. i sprayed it on my chest (under my sweater) after a couple of hours, instead of on my arm. Now the raspberries and red berries really came through. Less red wine this time, but vaguely there. The perfume is growing on me, from like to love. Still same powdery 90's makeup smell, but with a fruity red wine over tone. I feel like wearing black velvet, sleek hair and black eyeliner and a red lipstick.

I genuinely smell every single one of the notes listed which never happens for me. Photorealistic red wine into sexy incense into long lingering salty caramel that's never sweet. Really tasty, totally unique, borderline vampiric without being too weird. Like you're drinking a vermouth on the rocks in a cool bar and it's loud and heady and someone is smoking a cocktail with wood chips and your partner is kissing your neck. I was so floored by the power of the sample that I immediately bought a full bottle, only to find that the performance isn't the same and it's almost flatter, less nuanced. I am wondering if they have formula inconsistencies now, reading others' varied experiences with longevity. For the price I'm a little pissed, this would be a signature for me if it lasted longer, but I still really love it and I'm hoping it'll get better with time, like fine wine.

A grown up fruity fragrance BUT even though it has SUGAR in the title - it is NOT a celebrity scent. Great fragrance for SPRING SUMMER. Fruity, slightly sharp, and a little darkness to tone down the cheer. Kenzo World, Guess 1981 Indigo and this are all the same type of scent - wine & berries. I adore all 3 - Guess=lighter, Bohoboco=deeper and Kenzo=Zotz feeling. I picture the person wearing this to have a little devil & an angel on their shoulders, sitting outside during festivities in 80+ degrees - slightly sunburned shoulders & face, wearing flip flops, yoga pants and a tank (all for casual wear / not to actually work out) - wondering if they should stay or go now cuz if they do there will be trouble and if they don't there will be double.

This makes me feel grown-up, despite being 21 and feeling eternally 16 and quarantined. The teen shut-in girl's ideal of a sexy, controlled, self-sufficient femme fatale who probably clubs and reads philosophy and kisses mercurial dangerous men and women in bars or...something. That may sound shallow to you - it may *be* shallow to you, but it's a different experience when you feel it. I hate red wine - this makes me feel like I could pass for someone who doesn't. It's powerful. Powerful and red - it stains. Careful with light sleeves.

This is a flawless perfume. To my nose, absolutely stunning. I get every note listed in its own time. All I've wanted for the longest time is a proper wine perfume that really gives depth and intrigue and I get that here. She smells sensual, sexy. This is a goth girl's dream perfume. And she lasts! I can, at the very least, enjoy the scent for 6 hours without having to press my nose to my skin to catch it. The only problem for me is that I'm not about to pay $195 for only 50 ML. Not a chance.

These reviews are so harsh! Personally, I loved this instantly. It smells like a woman who just hosted the perfect dinner party giving you a hug goodbye while sending you off with leftover dessert and her homemade jam recipe. It’s warm, uncomplicated, and such a nice balance of spice, fruit, and leather. Elegant without being matronly. My only complaint is that I wish it lasted longer!

This would deserve more love! I got a sample from it, with a bunch of others. This one was captivating! It's hard to find anything similar. In addition to the wine, the opening is a pleasant elderberry syrup. Not sweet at all. The cedar also comes out nicely after drying. Not a winter scent at all. It can be easily worn on a warm summer evening.

It’s exactly as the name suggests, a bottle of red wine aged in a library 📚. I love it but it sits too intimate for my liking Also I don’t think it’s blind buy safe so try and sample if you can before committing as it’s quite pricey

Idk wat these ppl or on this is amazing a very realistic wine fragrance with a bit of sweetness I love this it’s very sophisticated and fits me so well this is a masterpiece and love it so much price is the problem

Oh my, one can rarely find something similar. So realistic red wine barrel smell at the start, quite complex and playing beautifully on the skin. Masterpeice ❤️ I have got lots of delicate patchouli in the base.

Delightful red wine sangria that fades to a soft, suede-like sweetness. Perfect for a vampy glamour with deep red lips - or her vampire boyfriend. Sillage and longevity above average.

Scent is subjective. I love this fragrance and it smells fire on me. This is like a sugary and wine version of African Leather to me. I have gotten compliments wearing this.

Delicious (; smells like how a thick red lollipop would but higher in quality they failed at price point , its too much for this nano bottle

LOVE!! smells like if the inside of a Lush store was more bearable

Smells like watermelon sugar high

Bohoboco Red Wine Brown Sugar opens with a rich, sweet-fruity warmth that immediately feels darker and more sensual than a typical fruity fragrance. The red berries, dried fruits and raspberry create a juicy opening, but very quickly the wine note takes control and makes everything smoother, deeper and more intimate. It is not a sharp or alcoholic wine accord; it feels smooth and velvety. As it develops, the brown sugar, caramel, leather and patchouli start to build around the wine, and that is where the fragrance becomes really interesting. Almost every ingredient can be felt, but nothing feels messy. The sweetness is there, the fruitiness is there, the boozy warmth is there and underneath it all there is a slightly darker, more seductive base that keeps it from becoming just another sweet fragrance (which I usually dislike). To me, this is a very sexy, passionate and intimate scent. Definitely more for special occasions than casual wear. It is unisex, but because of that sweet, seductive and almost velvety character, I can understand why some people might read it as more feminine. On a man, though, it sends a different message: not soft and pretty, but confident, sensual and a little dangerous. This is the kind of scent that makes you turn around in a room and wonder who smells like that. It does not just sit there politely, it creates a mood. I would not call this a safe blind buy, especially not for someone who does not understand more complex fragrances or just wants something simple that pleases everyone because this is a fragrance that wants atmosphere, tension and the right occasion, not a random Tuesday morning at the office.

This fragrance smells like a fine dessert wine, rich, slightly dense and gently enveloping. It opens with sweet fruits blended with a distinct red wine accord. It instantly brings to mind the end of summer, my grandmother’s kitchen, and a large demijohn where my grandfather used to make homemade blackberry wine, a warm, slightly nostalgic memory. As the scent develops, patchouli, woody notes, leather and sugar emerge, adding depth and giving the base a more refined, slightly masculine edge. Unfortunately, on my skin it lasts no more than about three hours, with rather moderate projection. It’s a truly beautiful composition, but it definitely lacks longevity.

This begins with somewhat sweet red berries, but it is not necessarily fresh or super fruity, because the cedar and leather comes out surprisingly quickly. After dry down the boozy notes come out significantly as well. The mature scent on me is definitely sweet red wine mostly. While I think it smells good in general and could definitely see someone else adoring this scent, I don't think it's enough up my alley to buy a bottle of. If the base notes were a bit more prominent, then this could be a total winner for me. But as it is, this is more suited to people who desire those sweet, red berry and wine notes to be large and in charge.
