The Story
Why it exists.
The beginning
Bohemian arrived in 2020 as an Eau de Parfum from Forage. No perfumer is identified in the available record, so the composition tells the story instead. Plum and sassafras establish the opening through rounded fruit and aromatic spice, with herbs adding a green character and floral notes introducing a softer floral layer. As the fragrance develops, juniper contributes a dry, evergreen-like quality, while vanilla and amber provide a warm base. The result is a balanced combination of fruit, floral, herbal, and dry woody elements, with each note adding definition to the others.
The unusual part is the balance between fruit, green herbal character, and dry woody notes. Plum supplies rounded sweetness, while sassafras adds aromatic lift. Floral notes introduce a softer contrast to the fruit and spice, and juniper brings a dry, evergreen-like counterpoint. Amber and vanilla provide warmth and sweetness in the base, helping the composition feel rounded as the opening settles. The materials move between contrasting textures: juicy fruit, aromatic spice, green herbs, soft florals, dry juniper, creamy vanilla, and warm amber.
The evolution
The first impression is animated by herbal notes, sassafras, and plum, with fruit sweetness set against aromatic spice. As the scent settles, floral notes become more present, creating a softer middle while the herbal character remains part of the composition. The base changes the temperature again. Vanilla adds creaminess, juniper contributes a dry green-woody quality, and amber leaves a warm glow beneath the other notes. The arc moves from fruit and spice toward floral, dry woody, creamy, and amber elements. Over time, the brighter aromatic quality becomes less prominent as the warmer base notes gain presence, leaving a more grounded and composed impression.
Cultural impact
Bohemian was released in 2020 as an Eau de Parfum from Forage. Its composition brings together plum, sassafras, herbal notes, florals, juniper, vanilla, and amber in a fragrance that balances fruit, spice, greenery, softness, and dry woody notes. The plum and sassafras create an aromatic opening, while the floral notes add a contrasting middle layer. Juniper contributes dryness and definition, and vanilla and amber give the composition warmth and depth. Together, these notes create a varied scent profile that moves from fruit and spice into floral, dry, creamy, and amber-scented layers.
