Bohemia

Bohemia by House of Gray is a Oriental Woody fragrance for women and men. Bohemia was launched in 2018. Bohemia was created by Eugene Au and Emrys Au. The fragrance features Marjoram, Basil, Rose, Apple Blossom, Thyme, Silver Pine, Civet, Caraway, Coriander, Opoponax, Myrrh, Rosemary, Birch and Cedar. After starting AVÉ PARFUM, Founder and Creative Director, Elizabeth Rose, turned her attention towards building her fragrance house. Her first three fragrances are the culmination of seven years of jotting down notes in a little notebook or scraps of paper that she carried in her purse, in an effort to create deeply inspired fragrances that are constructed with exceptional ingredients and that are also cruelty-free. She places significant emphasis on using luxurious natural materials. With a background in herbal medicine, it would not be unusual to find traces of herbalism and spirituality in her fragrances, but her palette of inspiration knows no limits. Bohemia is a "truly Bohemian" fragrance based on historical information of the ethnic culture's roots, religions, attitudes and landscape. An optimistic top note of apple blossom paves the way for a walk in Bohemia's ancient forests of silver pine, birch and cedar. Incense lends a balsamic smokiness, facilitating a connection between Mother Nature and one's inner-being. The fragrance's intensely feral base is hard to ignore, lending a raw, vulnerable feeling, but also an expansive sense of freedom. We would comfortably place this beauty into the modern-vintage category.
