From your scent profile
Diptyque Benjoin Bohème pairs Siam benzoin and Peru balsam, a sweet, resinous warmth, with patchouli and cistus underneath; it is a unisex scent that suits fall and winter evenings.
Skunky's take: Voters picked cool weather; in winter it is a warm hug.
How does it perform?
From 187 community ratings, all out of 10.
Holds up through the day and fades gently toward evening.
Leaves a light trail and stays polite in a crowd.
Sits nicely on a shelf.
The price makes you think, so a small size is a smart start.

What does Benjoin Bohème smell like?
Most voters pick fall and winter, and few choose summer. It is chosen mostly for evenings and nights out, then for leisure. Longevity is rated good and sillage moderate, and masculine and feminine draw about the same share of votes.
As a whole it reads sweet, spicy and oriental: benzoin and Peru balsam give a creamy, powdery softness, spices add warmth, and cistus and patchouli bring a resinous, woody depth.
