Dinner

I had to sample this one, because its composition sounds like everything I love...and it did not disappoint! The top notes of citrusy fruit disapate quickly into the mid-note spiciness - the cinnamon, ginger, caramom and cumin are the stars of this glorious scent, with more fruit (I think the plum is the standout) to soften the effect. (The cumin, while a difficult spice to use in a fragrance due to its tendency to "dirty" up a fragrance depending on your chemistry, prevents the other spices and fruit combo from being dessert-sweet.) When it dries down, the spices remain tempered by the patch, musky vanilla and wood with a gentle whiff of floral bouquet. Picture dining al fresco at a Moroccan restaurant on a balcony overlooking the city, enjoying your dessert and after-dinner drinks while night-blooming jasmine begins to open all around you in the evening breeze. Where are you? Not sure, could be Paris, could be Greenwich Village, could be Rio. Wherever you are, this fragrance will take you to your heart's favorite place in an instant. This is really a perfectly crafted fragrance, and like others have stated, if you are a fan of heady oriental masterpieces like Shalimar, Youth Dew, Cinnabar, etc...you will love Dinner by Bobo. Another seasonless treat, with good staying power and sillage. Full bottle worthy? Absolutely! Unfortunately it is long discontinued and I can't find it anywhere.

I have nostalgic feelings about this perfume! I wore it a lot in my mid-twenties, and was never quite sure how I felt about it, which actually summed up a lot of my life at the time. Indecision, uncertainty. I'm not sure if I'd wear it now, but I'd like to smell it again. On me this was all cumin and fizzy cola. A joke of a scent, but I don't mean that in a bad way - more of an inside joke between me and whoever smelled me. Smelled like I went from working at a burrito shop to a drunken party where everyone was drinking SoCo and Dr. Pepper out of red Solo cups. Fun, rambunctious, effervescent and a little bit armpitty with all that cumin. Memories! This had real lasting power, and I also liked the fun bottle with the dropper applicator.

I had this little treasure a few years ago and it always brought compliments. On my skin, Dinner by Bobo smelled like spiced apple rings, Coca Cola and a hint of patchouli and musk as it dried down. It was very gourmand and remarkably complex, and sweet without being too sugary. The juice itself was a lovely purple color and it was dispensed via a little eyedropper in the cap. A few drops lasted all day long. I haven't seen it in quite some time but if you come across a bottle, it's worth the purchase.

The first time I discovered Dinner by Bobo, I was taken aback by its interesting and unusual blend of notes and chemistry. I immediately wanted to try it, as reading the few reviews of it that exist, its existence as a savoury yet sweet unisex gourmand intrigued me. I managed to get my hands on this perfume by buying it from a Saudi Arabian perfume store specialising in Old and Rare perfumes, and here I have it 3 weeks later. The scent itself is extremely interesting and complex, the top notes smell like a citrusy cola, similar to a flat coke garnished with some limes. The middle notes stand out to me as reminiscent of an old medicine cabinet, slightly powdery yet also having this dusty, pill-like smell. At the base there is a very strong incense and licquer note, which grant the perfume this old-man boozy energy. Overall, this perfume did not dissapoint, yet it is not something I would ever wear.

I've hoarded the last few precious drops of this, but I think I've found something that approximates the things I love about Dinner by Bobo. 4160 Tuesdays' Tart's Knicker Drawer has the same fizzy sweetness that manages to avoid the cheapness of so many candy-and-soda infused scents. It's a bit more juicy berry and powder, and a lot less cumin-y, than Dinner. The notes might be entirely different (except the very obvious vanilla in both, a touch of violet and some citrus), but there's something about it that hits those same sweet spots for me.

I was passing by a book shop and I saw that they have some perfumes and I saw that the perfumes are mostly vintage and I got this one it is really good and bought for a very good price, they still have one only if anyone is interested. It reminds me a lot of jungle ( with the elephant cap) by Kenzo.

I have dinner by bobo for a swap of something interesting
