What does Boum smell like?

It opens on strawberry and blackcurrant. In the heart, iris, rose, violet and peony add a soft floral touch, while raspberry leaf and freesia keep it light. The base of cedarwood, white musk, sandalwood and amber settles it onto a gentle, slightly woody ground. A synthetic edge runs through the accords.

Longevity and sillage are rated weak, though few people have voted, so treat those ratings cautiously. It reads as a feminine scent. Versace Red Jeans and KKW Fragrance Fleur Fatale have a close profile.
