Boemia

Boemia é um perfume que me acompanha há anos; já estou no quinto ou sexto frasco, e continuo gostando dele desde as primeiras notas. Na minha pele, tem ótima projeção e excelente fixação, permanecendo perceptível por muitas horas e ainda recebendo elogios mesmo depois de bastante tempo. Embora seja classificado como unissex, em mim ele se apresenta de maneira bastante feminina. Gosto especialmente da forma como as especiarias, o cedro, o olíbano, o couro, o sândalo e o tabaco constroem uma fragrância elegante, mas não excessivamente polida; há nela uma beleza noturna, levemente esfumaçada, com algo de vivido e de imperfeito que a torna particularmente interessante. Boêmia traduz muito bem a inspiração na Lapa carioca, bairro historicamente associado aos bares, à música e à vida noturna. É um perfume sofisticado sem ser rígido, intenso sem perder o equilíbrio, e com uma personalidade muito própria. Costuma ser associado ao uso noturno, mas confesso que nunca me limitei a essa convenção e o uso com a mesma satisfação durante o dia, pois é uma fragrância da qual gosto por inteiro, e que combina muito com a minha personalidade, talvez porque carregue algo da pátina do tempo, da atmosfera dos velhos cafés e bares, dos livros cheirosos amarelados e de uma elegância despretensiosa que não passa despercebida.

This has become my signatur scent. I love how it isn't overpowering, I'm not the type that need to take over a room, people can smell you the first hour to 2 and after that it becomes lighter to end as a skin smell. For me the smell of leather and tobacco are there from the start, the tobacco smell reminders me of that kind you use in pipes, i can also smell a small hint of lime and nutmeg, this combo works better than I would expect. In the dry down, the tobacco and leather keeps on dominating, and i start to smell some wood nuance ad well, but without it being heavy. I live in Denmark and it can easy be used in summer and daytime as well, as it is a cooler climate here, and this parfurme, isn't heavy, even if it looks like it should be on paper with the notes. Only bad thing I have to say, is that the price in EU is to high for how it proforms, it is 120 eur in EU which is to high, i just bought two home, while in Rio and it costed me a total 87 eur for two bottles. So basically you can get 3 bottles of the same parfume for the price of 1 EU, so that seems very overprize, even calculating taxes, shipping etc to EU. I think a price between 80 to 90 eurs would be a fair price in EU.

Very similar to MIB and L'homme Ideal L'Intense, but doesn't smell exactly like neither of them. More like if someone took both fragrances and mixed into one. The result would be Boemia. Less spicy than L'Intense and less boozy than MIB, but the main player here is the Tobacco, with a "green smoke" nuance probably coming from the Olibanum/Geranium mix. The Nutmeg lingers for a while after the opening and the woody undertones after the 30 minute mark are more noticeable. On the drydown, it lends itself more towards MIB than L'Intense and i actually prefer the drydown on Boemia than MIB. L'Intense still is the classiest out of the 3 and is my favorite, but i'd pick Boemia over MIB not only because of the drydown but because it lasts way more than MIB on my skin, like there's really no comparison between the two in terms of performance.

I'm extremely pleased with this perfume I was between it and Fervo Intenso, ended up going with boemia The nutmeg is felt already on the beginning with a bit of spiceness from the pepper, something akin to a "dark sweetness", something bittersweet and quite spicy Then as it dries down it goes well into tobacco, which I find more visible than the other base notes (a good thing for me, since i prefer tobacco over leather and wood) Great performance, lasts well over 8+ hours and I feel it can be handled all autumn/winter and early spring or cool spring nights Unisex trending towards male, but I think warm spices go really well to certain types of women if you care about "gendering" notes Lovely perfume and I wholeheartely recommend, if bought in Brazil it is a incredible deal, but euro prices still seem fair

This is high-end perfumery (for a fraction of the price). I bought this the first time I tried it, reminds me of Bvlgari Man in Black. It opens up with strong black pepper and nutmeg notes, but after it dries down the leather and tobacco come in to complete a perfect blend of seduction and darkness. It has become one of my favorite fragrances, and if you have the opportunity to buy it in Brazil the price is around $50 for a 2.5 oz bottle. Really worth the price. Longevity is beast mode, my pillows always smell like it even after hours in the club or on a date. Performance is good, but nothing out of this world. I get a really strong sandalwood note, after abou 4-6 hours , that stays forever. I usually don't recommend blind buying, but if you get a great deal it is worth it.
