Tantrum
by Boy Smells
Tantrum by Boy Smells is a sharply vegetal, green-leaning unisex fragrance that opens with an intense burst of fresh green pepper, bergamot, and mint, creating a highly pronounced and invigorating first impression. The scent is dominated by its aromatic green accords, with prominent green pepper and vetiver giving it a lively, dewy character reminiscent of a garden in early summer. As it develops, a subtle tea-like coolness blends with the signature vetiver and woody nuances of cedar and sandalwood, forming a complex, grounded dry-down. While the perfume lacks sweetness or sweetness, it maintains a crisp, dewy freshness throughout, making it ideal for warm-weather wear and casual, artistic settings. The composition is bold and distinctive, earning praise for its unique character, though its sharp, acidic quality can be off-putting to some, especially those with a sensitivity to green vegetal notes.
