What does Bohea Bohème smell like?

Its longevity is rated strong and its sillage good. Voters lean towards autumn first, then winter and spring, and few pick summer. Leisure, evening and daytime wear come up most, and some also find it suitable for the office. It reads more masculine than feminine to most voters, though a good share call it feminine.

As a whole it is green, spicy and smoky. Juniper, black tea, cardamom and Sichuan pepper bring a cool sharpness, while oak wood, gaiac wood and amber add a woody, resinous, earthy weight. Franck Boclet Ashes and Tom Ford Noir Anthracite have a close profile.
