Magic Mushrooms.

Michał Gilbert Lach has spoken about magic and spirituality as compass points, forces that redirected his creative life from fashion design into full-time perfumery. Magic Mushrooms, released in 2024, is the olfactory expression of that philosophy: transformation, the unconventional, and the idea that fragrance can move you somewhere you didn't expect to go. The name is a provocation and an invitation in equal measure, it asks you to follow it somewhere strange.

What makes the heart of Magic Mushrooms unusual is the pairing of blackcurrant with mushroom. These two materials rarely share space in perfumery, one is fruity and sharp, the other earthy and slightly animalic. Here they form an alliance that's unexpectedly lush. Around them, davana and immortelle add a herbal, almost medicinal complexity that keeps the composition from settling into something predictable. The cannabis note in the heart reads more as an aromatic green presence than anything confrontational, it's the texture of it, the feeling of walking through overgrown growth, that matters.

The opening announces itself with citrus and cardamom, bright, clean, almost bracing. Grapefruit cuts sharp, cypress adds a faint resinous edge. This phase lasts thirty minutes before the hand-off begins. The heart arrives with blackcurrant first, sweet and tart, followed by the mushroom note emerging from beneath like something rising through damp earth. The cannabis-like green quality intensifies without becoming skunky or heavy, it's aromatic, herbal, more forest than anything else. By the third hour, the base takes over: moss and vetiver dominate, patchouli adds depth, aquatic notes linger in the background like morning fog. Eight to ten hours total on most skin types, staying close, this isn't a fragrance that fills a room, but one that leaves a trace when you move through it.

Magic Mushrooms arrived in 2024 as part of BOHOBOCO's ongoing project to make fragrance that challenges rather than comforts. The name and the composition both signal a house that isn't interested in safe territory. Wearers describe it as the kind of scent that announces a certain kind of intention, you didn't reach for this by accident. It's unisex in principle, but the herbal-green character and earthy base skew toward someone who wants fragrance to function as a statement rather than a background.
