Maison Noir, the Zurich-based fragrance house, has quickly established itself as a purveyor of sophisticated, concept-driven scents. Their 'Scent World' approach invites wearers to explore fragrances through a visual and atmospheric lens, and Bohemia stands as a testament to this creative direction. Released in 2022, Bohemia was crafted by the esteemed Alexandra Monet to represent a sense of artistic freedom and refined woodiness. Bohemia is classified as a woody-spicy fragrance with a distinct green and fresh character. It enters the market at a time when consumers are increasingly looking for 'unisex' profiles that offer more than just the standard citrus or heavy oud tropes. Instead, Bohemia utilizes a clever blend of culinary herbs like oregano and red thyme against a backdrop of cashmerewood and praline to create something that feels decidedly modern and multifaceted.
