Top note, 2 seconds after spraying: swimming pool changing rooms and glossy hairspray.
20 seconds later: caramelly lemon and peppermint tea.
I’m either having a stroke or this is a stroke of genius.
The peppermint tea turns into hay. I check the notes on fragrantica: hay! The swimmingpool changing rooms turn into summer: so, hay!
The caramelly lemon (whatever that was) is gone.
This is a super fresh exciting summery floral, and although where it says peach I get non-specific fruit and/or flower (could be the tiniest hint of jasmine only not quite as good as that), it comes always with that nice low rumbling undertone of minty toothpaste freshness that is… hay.
Vohina is Slavic for bale of hay, did you know? Nope, it’s not, I made that up. But Vohina = bale of hay in perfume terms. Going on my wishlist.
NB 2 hours later: the swimmingpool is back – it’s an open air one, so it’s probably an association of wet chlorine feet running through grass, i.e. the scent of hay. Rename it to VoHAYna already.

VOHINA is innocent and very feminine. The first blast of peach blossom + honey is on the verge of being too sweet, yet when at some 2 hours in hay starts to appear more – I’m left with something so airy, innocent and natural that it’s hard to resist getting my nose away from my wrist.
But VOHINA is also boring. I did catch myself multiple times sniffing the wrist and asking “and that’s it? it was the same an hour ago”. It’s linear and not at all interesting. Besides the few hours of hay – there is nothing unique.
It does last long and radiaties nicely.

Vohina is a sweet peach/honey fragrance. It opens with a very natural smelling peach. In the dry down the honey and hay come in to make this a very natural smelling fragrance. It reminds me of a peach tree we had in our back yard. When it bloomed it’s flowers smelled just like Vohina. Perfect for those of us who like sweet fragrances. It goes very well with the hot summer days.

Leave it to Pierre Guillaume to take a concept of sweet perfume to a different level. Vohina is a sweet but not sweet perfume at the same time. Effect is achieved by mixing the super sweet honeyed notes with aromatic lavender and layering it with something purely abstract and airy. It is like sipping a sweet, nectar-like cocktail at the abstract art gallery opening with high ceilings, skylight windows and lots of white space filled with sunlight. Modern, yet comforting and happy, minimalistic but also romantic.
Vohina does not smell holistic and natural to me, but I don’t think it is intended to. The abstract notes create this spacious and airy feeling that is central to the composition of this perfume. The scent opens with lovely honeyed notes of peach and lavender. And yet this abstract, fresh wind note wraps around the composition and lifts it above the earth like a cool wind on a spring morning. There is not much development in the scent. It becomes very light and sheer after 30 minutes while still retaining its original structure and composition. Don’t expect much sillage or longevity here.
This is certainly a modern take on the honey central composition. I have to be honest, I do not normally like scents with abstract notes as they smell, well, synthetic and artificial to me. This synthetic note in Vohina sometimes reminds me of an inexpensive hair product (which bugs me) but sometimes it smells so fresh, airy and lovely (which I absolutely love), so this dilemma leaves me a bit conflicted about this scent. I will give it 7/10. I certainly enjoyed wearing the sample, but I am not sure if I will invest in a bottle. Definitely sample before buy.

Opens conventionally with a peach floral and lavender honey pairing in which (despite the line’s press) neither note makes any real attempt at authenticity. Consequently, Vohina starts off smelling like discount hair products. Clearly humiliated by their own vapidity, both central notes flee the scene almost instantly leaving what could only be described as an acceptable, but utterly dull hay body. The hay’s slightly more natural; it’s sweetened by remnants of the opening notes and displays a touch of musk, but it’s cloying without being particularly loud. For as much as I’d like to report this as minimalist (given Guillaume’s usually exceptional work), a good minimalist composition would consider space as a meaningful component. This has no space; it’s just a handful of complimentary notes apathetically rendered.

99) Quand je test un parfum j’aime le porter sur peau quelques heures pour en saisir les différentes étapes. Avec les créations de Pierre Guillaume (PG+8eme art+quelques autres) tout est terminé en 20 minutes malgré leurs notes souvent trop sucrées.
Je pensais que 8eme art serait plus élaboré, composé, mais malheureusement cela reste aussi simple et faible (à part Myrrhiade qui est réellement très bon, original et qui tient bien…enfin un!!!).
Ici c’est de la fleur de pêché sucré au miel mais sauvé de l’übber sweet par des notes de foin.
Totallement féminin et inintéressant.
When I test a perfume I like to wear it on skin a few hours to understand the different evolution steps. With the creation of Pierre Guillaume (PG+8th art+a few others) it’s all over in 20 minutes despite their notes often too sweet.
I thought 8th art would be more developed, composed, but unfortunately it is also simple and weak (except Myrrhiade actually very good, original and stay well…finally one!).
Here is the peachflower sweeted by honey but saved from ubber sweet with notes of hay.
Totally feminine and uninteresting.

One of the stronger scents in the line and I think a very fine design. It opens somwhat medicinally like the classic listerine, boozy and butyric, and then dries into a gorgeous, refined green scent. Very fresh. This could inspire a whole new class of masculine florals. Bravo!

I just loved the description of this one. But it doesn’t smell at all on my skin. As if I am not wearing anything. Sad…
