Boum

This would be so good, if the alcohol wouldn't stand out too much. Then this would be Lovely girly strawberry scent. But the smell of alcohol is a bit--- :/

Well- this has been a surprise! I've been looking for something youthful and springy that could function as a spring/summer transitional scent. This is sweet, but not off-puttingly so. I mostly get strawberry, raspberry and peony, but the tea is quite prevalent on me (thank goodness!) and it's not cloyingly sugary. I do definitely notice the rose but it's not screechy. It starts off as a teenybopper scent, but it's grown up in the time I've had it on. Fresh, clean and not overwhelming, but far better than a body spray. I could swear this had citrus and melon notes. Far better longevity than I expected: I sprayed this three and a half hours ago, and it's still projecting quite a bit. The alcohol smell took some time to diminish, which is the one minus. All in all a lot more impressive than I thought it would be. It stood out to me in the store perhaps because it was rather subdued and calm rather than a complete sugarbomb. It's not mature, it's not exactly sophisticated, but it is bright and clean and works well on a warm-ish spring day.

I bought this for around 5 dollars and It is a nice addition to my collection. I wasn't expecting anything amazing, but it is surprisingly good especially considering the price. NOTES: It’s soft and somewhat fresh. It’s sweet but not overly so. It does smell like strawberry and raspberry and not in an artificial way. I would say the raspberry note is stronger than the strawberry. It’s also slightly woody. The rose smell is slightly detectable. LONGEVITY: This fragrance lasts surprisingly long for what the price is even with just one spray, but the smell does weaken overtime. The silage is intimate. This fragrance lasts around 5 hours on my skin. OTHER: This fragrance also reminds me of Escada's perfumes. It doesn't come off as a cheap fragrance. PROs and CONs: It's easily wearable by everyone and the scent is non offensive. It's youthful It's very affordable. No bottle cap, which makes transporting difficult, the design is boring. It's somewhat of a basic scent I would rate this a 6/10, Would maybe buy again.

This is a soft, pleasant, clean, fresh, floral, weak performing fragrance, with a raspberry vibe. When I first tried it I barely smelled anything. My bottle was packaged in December 2020, and it expires in 2025. I'd advise to not expect any gourmand vibes from this. The closest I can think of is the smell of clean sheets, peonies and shampoo. So I ended up using it as bathroom spray although it's not fresh enough to make it ideal for that. The best thing about it is that you can wear it in hot, humid weather without feeling you're wearing perfume, but still smell nice if someone gets to smell your skin or clothes. It has a cosy and peaceful side to it. I like it, but it's forgettable and way too diluted. Everyone has different senses when it comes to perfumes; my sister just said it smells like strawberry candy, but she never had a "hmmn! yummy!" reaction to it, so take that as you will.

I use 〰 up my perfume. It's really early early perfume I bought it when I was in junior high school, so it's been about 18 years! ! Long 〰! Of course, I use other things as well. But I've been using it for a long time. This is the real perfume! A scent like that (laughs) It's a sweet and sour full tea floral, it's really safe and TPO, and this is it for the time being! I used it like that, so I used it quite often. The glutinous rice cakes are pretty good, about 6 hours? I could use it without hesitation, and it was a perfume for daily use. I've done a really useful perfume, so I'm 〰 in trouble if it runs out. When I think about it, it smells like when I was a student (laughs).

I just recently had a chance to tried Delina exclusif (in a decant ofc). And the first time i smell it, it kinda remind me of this parfum. Just slightly. But when it dries down. It's exactly like this parfum (just slightly powdery but i digress). Boum is my signature scent throughout my high school years. It's cheap after all. Performance not best, but it's definitely a unique scent (at least for me). N.B: I haven't tried the recent batch of this parfum so i don't know if it's still the same as what i had when i was in high school (2011-2014). Will update it again later.

I don't know if I like this or not. It smells like washing up detergent. Now, that's not a bad thing....detergent is refreshing and leaves everything smelling zesty and sparkling clean. So you may enjoy smelling like a washed dish. I'm just not sure I want to be a dish, so the jury is still out on this one.

Very pleasant ! With such a name + bottle shape i was expecting a FlowerBomb copy ( it's quite known that most of their scents are copies of expensive ones), but it's not ! It's a nice fruity scent at the begining , fresh , not very sweet , and then there is peony mostly . Doesn't last very long ... :-/

I had this one some time ago. It's very fresh and juicy. Considering I'm not a fan of fruity fragrances I quite liked this one. I remmber I got srawberries and berries, very nice and frefreshing for summer. The colour really suits the fragrance. The only problem I had it didn't last very long.

It's amazing. ....... sweet fruity and girly. Does not last long though. For teens mostly though. Not for adult women. But I love it.

I can't really identity the smell of it, on my skin it smells like soap or detergent, I hardly smell sweet notes.

I’m surprised by some of the reviews for this perfume because I think it smells exactly like the notes suggest it would! It’s not my favourite of the Boum perfumes (hello green tea cherry blossom!) but it’s very wearable to those of us who like sugar frosted fruity scents. This is very much sweet strawberry with a floaty floral feel and slightly more woody dry down. It’s cheap and cheerful and really reminds me of an Escada perfume I used to have. It absolutely does smell like a fruity floral shampoo / conditioner (think herbal essences or fructis) but that’s not a bad thing as far as I’m concerned, because I love that sort of sweet, clean, fruit and flowers smell! It’s not hardcore shampoo-like mind you.... We’re not talking Ocean Di Gioia or L’Impertrice levels of sharp shampoo! This actually lasted quite a long time on my skin and even longer on my clothes. I think that If you like (non-vanilla!) sweet fruit perfumes you’d be safe to blind buy this one. If you like the fruity escada perfumes that get released each year then this might be a good option, as it’s not a limited edition and it’s a bargain for a 100ml bottle!

i do not pick up any top notes at all, no sweetness - maybe black tea for a little bit, then it goes to middle notes immediatelly, peony being the strongest, then dries out to musky, bitter, even grassy rose on my skin. i do not like nor dislike the scent, i picked it up blindly at a supermarket when i was desperate for some perfume, it's relatively cheap. does not last long, gone without a trace after a couple of hours. suitable gift for a teenager, or a young woman, it is not an irritating scent, could be freely your work perfume. also, the cap is rather unusual.sadly it started falling off freely, so it is not a bottle you can drop into your bag because the "cap" will just come off.

I used one bottle of this years back but I remember getting a lot of comments that I smell like a juice and that’s definitely what it smells like: an artificial berry juice that has sat on the summer heat for some time. It’s very nostalgic and although I love sweet scents this is just too much for me and I wouldn’t buy it again.

This was one of the few first perfumes I have bought for myself. I rember at first I liked it, but after 10% was gone I grew tired of it. It's very sweet and fresh at the same time, but for me it lacks something to the point that I couldn't stand it. I actually feel a little bit nauseous remembering it now. I think this must be that strawberry note that ruins every perfume it is in, ruins for me completely. Still I think it's a quite nice and not linear perfume for teenagers.

This is some weak body spray stuff. Actually, it's not even that. Most of the body sprays I've smelled are a lot stronger than this. This starts out with a fairly sharp alcohol smell. Once that dissipates, there's a hint of sharp, artificial strawberry. Not even a heavy, syrupy, candy-like strawberry. More like strawberry Pixi Stix, if even that. This smells like it would be appropriate on someone under the age of 14. It does not last. It is gone almost as soon as it dries.

I'm sorry but I've tried to like it, but its impossible. It's more of a summer fragrance. It's light I can sense mainly raspberry. But there is something really intimidating and offensive after 30 min. It smells like humidity (mossy in a bad way) as you forgot your wet clothes to dry but they did'nt completely and they smells fresh but also has this nasty odor. I will give this away or something. I like cheapies but this is a miss for me.

When I tested this in the store, I was excited because it smelled just like clean, soapy bubbles and that is what I was looking for. Upon purchasing and wearing, however, it turned into a very chemical-synthetic, headache-inducing odor. Very unpleasant. I don't reccommend for sensitive noses.

The notes sound so promising but this is a juvenile synthetic mess which stays on your skin for no longer than 30 seconds.

I have a hard time disliking fragrances but this one I seriously dislike. Think cheap, nasal cavity invading shampoo. That's it. It's downright offensive, sorry. The note pyramid means absolutely nothing.

I am new to this site and came across this brand while searching for gourmand scents! I immediately ordered some BOUM fragrances, since they seem good value, although I ordered them all "blind" based on the great reviews I read here. According to the Jeanne Arthes site, here is the description of this scent: "At the rate of a heartbeat, love is an explosion of the senses ... dare to unpin Boum that will overwhelm the other sweet and sensual fragrances. A drop of syrup has fallen to the bottom of the bottle ... a perfume that will reappear at the edge of your lips." Head note: Strawberry, Cassis Heart note: Rose, Peony, Iris, Freesia, Violet, Raspberry leaf Base note: Sandalwood, Cedar wood, Amber, White musk On me, this is a very light, fresh, feminine fragrance. It smells fruity and sugary with very light florals. The pink bottle is cute and adorable! The scent is not very long-lasting. A little bit girly, but I do not mind! The light fruity scent makes it ideal to wear on a hot day. This also has the unusual pin/nozzle on this bottle.

Boum is a pleasant, light and inoffensive fragrance. It does not smell complex or perfumer-y to me. I think that people around me would not even think that I wear a perfume when I have it on but that I just stepped out of the shower and have a residual scent of shampoo in my hair. I am not saying that it is a bad thing, as long as this is what you expect from this scent. It starts off with a light, watery strawberry scent. This is definitely not a sugar bomb despite the top notes of sugar cane. The heart notes are pleasant but totally synthetic peony scent mixed with freesia and rose. The scent stays linear. I cannot detect base notes at all. The scent lasts for about 2 hours. Overall score is 5/10. If you are into light, modern scents that smell more like abstract laundry freshness rather than the nature or strong perfumes than Boum could fit the bill.

I found three of Jeanne Arthes fragrances in my local Walgreens recently. I was able to test them all, luckily. Out of the three, I only found one that I did enjoy. This was not one of them. Boum for women fell flat on its face for me. It’s supposed to be a floral-fruity, but frankly, it smelled quite synthetic without any distinguishable notes. I re-applied it heavily, but I could not distinguish the fruitiness from it and it still reminded me more of an aerosol room freshener than anything else. I could imagine the Black Tea overtaking Cedar while the musk swirls around in a whirlwind masking the fruits. Hence, no distinguishable notes for me. More of an unequal blending that spits out as maybe this, maybe that with no prominence to it. This is a definite try before you buy.

I bought this as a light, refreshing, lingering spring scent and am hugely disappointed (but should know by now to stop blind buying!) This isn't meant to be an off putting review because the sweet, candy like vibe, which to me screams strawberry, with a layer of rose lurking underneath (an attempt to give it a more mature appeal?) is no doubt perfect for a young teenager, maybe as a first perfume. I sprayed it a few times and that was enough for me to take an instant dislike to it. Maybe it's because it doesn't have enough 'body' for me, like in the way I prefer a strong heady red wine as opposed to a light, fruity rose wine! I'm now using this as a bathroom spray, where somehow it is MUCH less offensive to my nose.

I can describe this scent in one word.... boring. All these notes and i smell none of them, this is more like a body mist then a perfume. I only own it because I received it free in a bunch of 2nd hand perfumes i purchased. Though it's not particularly unpleasant, it's very very very light, and synthetic. It smells just like laundry soap....clean....but laundry soap never-the-less. I may spritz this on my coats and sweaters to freshen them up a bit and maybe wear it around the house after my bath but really this is nothing to get excited about, and the bottle is super boring with a weird sprayer. scent: 5 packaging: 3

Earth Born Strawberry Shampoo with a weird dissonant tea note. Nothing else of mine smells like this. Please tell me Versace for Women is not like Boum at all - I have been thinking that one over for a while now. If Boum had been done with a decent budget, it could have been amazing. But Boum is cheap, so it's not amazing. Just OK. Smells like you washed your hair. Totally agree with comments that it smells like dish soap, too. Oh, please - amber, sandalwood, cedar? Not even a drug dog could smell those here. However, there is a lot of freesia on the dry down. Maybe the freesia is responsible for the soapiness.

I agree with tane4ka, this is a sweet refreshing scent very much on the berry side, which makes me think it is targeted for teenagers. I haven't finished my bottle by myself, I took the opportunity to make little bottles filled with this juice as Christmas gifts to teenagers. They smelled and said: "You have really got good taste!" and this made me smile - it is just perfect for their age, maybe it is their first or second real perfume. Buy it for your nephews or your nieces, it is cute indeed, young, fresh and sunny.

I live in France and this is a supermarket scent for only 5 euros. It smells fresh and clean, like fizzy strawberry. I like the boum line , I usually buy them for gifts for my relatives in Manila. It's more adapted to the warm and humid weather there since they're all very refreshing!

I was near to buy it as ́ ́blind ́ ́ but then I tested it and good that I didn ́t decide to buy. I cannot get any fruit and tea in it. It ́s too sweet but in bad, synthetic way. It smells like they use it in cheap, bad ingredients. Better to test before you purchase!

All I smell is pear soda and peony. Very light and fun scent. Doesn't project, doesn't last and is very affordable. I'm thinking it would make a great gift for a pre-teen girl.

Was just offered this at 5.00 online. So I had to head straight here to see what it was about. For 5.00 you could use it to scent your sheets.

I only smell raspberry in it..not very sweet to me. fades quickly. nice for a young girl for a first perfume.
