Description
Bohea Boheme
Majestic and remote, the rocky, mineral-rich Wuyi Mountains of China has for centuries produced some of the most exquisite, and expensive, tea in the entire world. Bohea Bohème, the newest fragrance from Maison Mona di Orio, captures the inimitable spirit of this most precious substance, distilling the rich, smoky, fascinatingly complex essence of the tea once known worldwide as Bohea into a fragrance we can truly say is unlike any tea scent we’ve ever smelled before.
The key to Bohea Bohème’s marvelous complexity is the truly astounding variety of flavors in Wuyi tea itself- at once sweet, smoky, spicy, earthy, smooth and floral. Bohea Bohème opens with bright bergamot and a punch of sichuan pepper, invigorating and intense. Delicately powdery iris adds a wholly different element of subtlety, while a more full-bodied osmanthus melds with the smoky black tea heart to feel smooth and creamy in equal measure. Green geranium and warmer amber elements only enhance the impressively cohesive complexity, and as the gorgeously woodsy drydown gradually grows, the fragrance pulses with smooth, honeyed intensity that always remains on the right side of opulent. A fragrance based on a luxurious treasure must always be wary of coming up short by comparison; luckily, Bohea Bohème is destined for a legendary reputation all its own.
