Serpent Bohème
by Boucheron
Serpent Bohème by Boucheron is a soft, elegant floral with a delicate balance of citrus, rose, jasmine, and musk. It opens with a fresh, slightly sweet blend of mandarin orange and black currant, which gradually evolves into a refined, rosy heart with subtle white floral and patchouli. The dry-down features soft sandalwood and labdanum, creating a quiet, warm, and slightly musky base that feels classic yet restrained. It’s not aggressive or bold—its presence is intimate and whispers rather than claims attention. The fragrance feels like a modern interpretation of a refined French feminine scent, reminiscent of Chloe Love Story or Coco Noir, with a clean, almost skin-like quality that suits daytime settings. It’s safe, crowd-pleasing, and ideal for office wear, spring days, or quiet moments when you want something understated and graceful.
Pros
- +A quietly elegant fragrance that feels polished and sophisticated, ideal for everyday wear.
- +Refreshingly clean and delicate, with a gentle citrus and floral opening that avoids being cloying.
- +Balances floral, musk, and wood notes well, resulting in a smooth, composed dry-down.
Cons
- −Weak longevity and sillage make it barely noticeable past the first hour, especially on skin.
- −The base can become overwhelmingly musky and patchouli-heavy for some, making it feel unbalanced.
- −Lacks projection and depth, so it doesn’t stand out or linger, which may disappoint those seeking a bold or lasting scent.
