Description
“Chic et Bohème brings together the beguiling and alluring power of the flowers and releases them full of optimism, charm and personality again. An eau de parfum which carries both a playful lightness as well as a wonderful spirit in itself. Cool, sweet and juicy tangerine combines with the beautiful flower essences of bitter orange, accented by floral ylang-ylang. Orange flowers exude their delicate, bright glow, actively supported by jasmine that leads to a refined plum note. This vibrant creation is held together by a base of patchouli, warm ambergris and fine vanilla that lends a long-lasting character to the creation.” – a note from the brand.

Very interesting! Beings with an oily neroli covered by sweet plums and vanilla jasmines drops on an orange ylang ylang amber & patchouli mix while those vanilla jasmines drops are too worm that it melts the patchouli leaves and the orange peeling leaving a slight burn smoke that is resembled by the amber and ylan ylang mix.
Quite addictive, and has the stamp of Chabaud. This house is quite interesting, i never thought that they would smell this quality and never thought that i would smell such a balanced blend as their creation! very much into sniffing the rest of the line.

This is a great white floral, not too strong, just perfect. A great composition of orange blossom and ylang-ylang, with a hint of vanilla and amber.
Chic, for sure.
Elegant white floral suitable for age time, season and age.

I have no idea what Bohemian is supposed to smell like, but on me, this opens with a beautiful burst of ylang-ylang laced orange blossoms. It instantly feels uplifting and fresh, the way the aroma of summer fruits make me feel. There’s also a hint of greenery in this, which lends to the whole summery feel to this.
An hour and a half later, an unmistakable jasmine comes up. It sneaks up little by little, then suddenly, it’s sauntering all over the stage. This doesn’t last too long, however, and transitions into a slightly more fruity and sweet stage after 30 minutes.
Chic et Boheme ends on a light, sweet note with a hint of green and florals. I pick up a mild warm feeling and the presence of ylangylang even at the end, but overall, it maintains the lighthearted happiness throughout. In a way, it still manages to be a little somber, and not be completely carefree in its joy. I still found this incredibly pleasant and uplifting though.
Sillage was pretty good, I’d say at about arm’s length with a bit more for the first half, and sat quite close to the skin from the 3rd hour onwards. In total, it lasted about 5 hours on me.
