Bohemian Woods
by Atelier Oblique
Bohemian Woods by Atelier Oblique is a deeply aromatic, dry woody fragrance with smoked, balsamic, and leathery qualities. It unfolds with a sharp, medicinal note reminiscent of absinthe and mouthwash, which some find distracting, while others appreciate its complexity and authenticity. The core consists of smoky incense, warm leather, and sweet vanillic musk, layered over aromatic woods and patchouli. Over time, saffron emerges subtly, adding a spicy depth, leading into a soft, powdery, and elegant dry down that feels both intimate and refined. The scent is notably long-lasting and projects moderately, with a particularly warm and inviting dry-down that feels like a glowing fireplace in a forgotten wooden chamber. It's best suited for evening wear in autumn or winter, with its dark, moody atmosphere standing out in quiet or intimate settings.
