ESPIRÍTU

This is an absolute LOVE for me. I thought Casa Blanca was going to be my first purchase from this house but I waited for my sample of this and it is my favorite! I immediately placed my order for a bottle. This is smooth and clean without being a freshie scent. I don't even know how to explain it but it is subtly sexy and cozy and inviting at the same time. I can see why some might say this is more masculine but on me it soft, creamy and just so smooth. This is like a warm loving intimate embrace where you bury your head into the person and smell the essence of them. This will become my new signature scent. THB is an absolutely fantastic fragrance house and I can't wait to get my hands on a few more bottles.

I don’t usually like oak, or osmanthus, but WOW I LOVE this. It’s musky woody and just the right amount of sweetness. The leatheriness is not super pronounced. I’ve been getting into leather scents a lot apparently lately, as I also just bought Cherry Smoke last month so my wallet is about to hurt some more lol. But this is probably top of the wishlist now. It’s SO up my alley... Edit 3/3: the lasting power and sillage on this one is really good! Still a love after a couple more days of test. Edit 3/24: haven’t purchased but I am so tempted. Mostly finished with my sample. It’s a very easy to wear fragrance for me that is versatile in warm or cooler weather.

Wow, I've been dying to try some House of Bo scents and this just blew me away! As others have mentioned, I would never have expected the scent based on the notes. It's light, fresh, and almost fruity. On initial spray, which the alcohol is more prominent, it almost smells a bit like sniffing a glass of beautiful white wine. I can't figure out where the fruitiness is coming from, but I definitely understand the comparisons to Mojave Ghost. As it dries down, I can identify the sage and woods more, but it remains wonderfully soft and bright. Definitely signature scent worthy, I can't wait to sample others from the line.

Easily my favorite from House of Bo. I resisted buying a full bottle of this for the longest time, but I just kept spraying my 5 mL little mini bottles into oblivion. I find Espiritu to be a predominantly woody, herbal, iris/orris, soft yet airy composition. From the House of Bo website: Osmanthus, burning sage, carrot seed Tobacco leaves, iris, up-cycled rose Vintage leather, Mexican oak wood, labdanum It could be due to the power of suggestion with the name, but I do find something meditative, transportative, and spiritual about this scent. Espiritu is deeply comforting and relaxing to me.

This is a beautiful fragrance! Woody, salty, Incensey. Its fresh, very grounding, clean. The Iris and sage are very soft and aromatic. The floral is well blended with the leather and sage accords. Unisex. Very unique for sure. I love it! sophisticated/elegant, classic. Wore this with jean and tshirt, fresh out of shower...perfection! There is a ceremonial essence to this from the Clary sage. addictive. perfect anytime or season IMO. I need a bottle for sure. 10/10. Would make a gorgeous Signature scent. Yes please!

Gosh this is so beautiful! It is effortlessly chic. It's an easy reach that seems suitable for any occasion or weather. If I were a person that had a signature scent, this would be my pick. The notes might throw you off a bit because this is blended so well. I can see why Mojave Ghost is compared to it but this is much more sophisticated, complex and grounded. It's musky but clean, sensual yet bright. I'm sad it's so pricey bc I know I'm going to blow through this 75mls so quickly!

Bought it blindly based on a blogger's recommendation as one of the top 10 fragrances for life. And I must say, I am very happy with my purchase. The combination of osmanthus and leather in this perfume is really special – it's both elegant and delicate. The osmanthus gives it a sweet, inviting scent, and the leather adds a touch of luxury. The first day I wore it, I got a compliment. It's perfect for any occasion and adds a sophisticated touch to any style.

I recently tried Ganymede and was struck by it as having something similar already in my collection. It was this. My husband actually prefers Ganymede to this, both from the perspective of wearing it himself, and smelling it on me. I however, slightly still prefer this as it’s more herbal and stronger projection and lasting power. Both give a sort of mineral/herbal leather scent. Both are signature worthy in my opinion, for either (or any) gender.

I'll echo one of the earlier comments that likened this fragrance to the scent of a baby's head. It is actually so uncanny. To be specific, a just-bathed baby who has been powdered and wrapped in a blanket that has been stored away in an old wooden dresser. This imagery is only short-lived; an hour or so. The dry down, however, is by far the best herbal-woody skin scent I've come across in a while. I wish my skin smelled like this naturally.

This is fantastic! I am in love with this clean, warm, powdery leather. This collection is now available at Neiman Marcus (at least in the US). I just met the brand founder, Bernardo Möller, and his partner, at their Neiman debut event. He was so nice but what struck me is how passionate he was about the collection and what stories they convey. I feel so honored to have met them! And I must get a full bottle of this one, asap!

Everyone talks about La Mar while skipping over this hidden gem ❤️ I dislike almost all the notes in this. Leather + tobacco leaf + osmanthus + labdanum + carrot sounds like a nightmare combo. It’s my new signature scent 🤷🏼 Has a Byredo vibe, but better. Boho, natural. Smoky sage & rose over soft leather. It’s beautiful. Great performance. Lasted over 2 weeks on a jacket! Unisex, leans feminine.

I got a travel set and wasn’t sure if I should include this fragrance. I was most excited for Casa Blanca, but this ended up being my favorite of the 3. It’s soft, comforting, fresh and woody all at the same time. I put it on before bed and could still smell it on my wrist the next morning ( could not smell Casa Blanca which was on the other wrist). Full bottle worthy.

First I want to say that I’m delighted to smell high quality components from the small niche house. And downside is the price. This scent is a very versitile leather/tobacco combination with much more animalic nuances than it is listed on the fragrantica. Quite addictive. The silage is moderate-it is a scent for work or close encounters.

I wore this today and it immediately dawned on me what this smells like in the dry down. Versace Crystal Noir! Nearly a dead ringer. I’m very familiar with Versace Crystal Noir as it’s one of my favorite fragrances. There are only small differences between to the two.

Given the notes you wouldn't expect this fragrance to smell so clean, sparkling, and serene. I honestly have no idea what I'm smelling here but it just makes me swoon. It is soothing and projects well.

Don't let the notes scare you...I would have never guessed looking at them that I would love this fragrance. It's fresh and bright with a very small amount of natural sweetness. Perfect for spring.

Something so versatile and unique about this scent! It’s such a clean skin like scent but has so many unique facets and I think it can be worn year round! A definite winner!

I did not think i would like this one but it's really good and very classy. Gives business causal and should be taken seriously. Lol love for me. I would recommend it.

this is so stunning. it’s creamy and sweet but also has a slight edge with the tobacco and leather. my mom said it reminds her of a baby’s head

Tobacco, leather, and oak really shines in this. The dustyness and woodyness is complimented and rounded out by powder and florals. This fragrance is sooo interesting. It's not my favorite from House of Bo (Casa Blanca) but I can't stop smelling my arm. It's much better for Spring and Summer because it's so clean. It's more of a powdery, airy clean and its completely unisex. I imagine an old men's shoe store with a long history. One that still uses wooden tools and opens up their windows on a spring morning while the flowers are blooming. Edit: Back to give info about the dry down! This has a beautiful and gentle dry down! It's soft and delicate with some notes of wood faintly remaining. This is one of the most beautiful dry downs I have ever smelled. I am not a musk fan. This dry down is soft and delicate with no musk and there is a slight creamy and milky quality as well which I love! House of Bo is becomming one of my favorite houses. All the scents are sophisticated and relaxing
