History
Boha is Jeroboam's great white floral. The house brochure gives the key: by building the perfume around a bouquet of white flowers, the perfumer sets out to evoke purity. Yet the whole, subtle, delicate and opulent at once, is worn like a provocation.
Vanina Muracciole assembles a heart of gardenia, jasmine and orange blossom, powdered at the top with a violet leaf and an almond. The base roots this bouquet in a darker material: ambery woods, sandalwood, oakmoss and the enigmatic musks base. It is this contrast between the pure flower and the musky base that gives the perfume its tension.
Launched in 2018, Boha widens the house's floral palette, until then mostly musky and woody. It shows that the musk through-line can also carry a great white bouquet, without ever making it tame.
Olfactory pyramid
Jeroboam publishes its perfumes in three families of notes. Here is Boha, exactly as the house presents it in its official brochure.
From top to base, Boha unfolds its writing, faithful to the notes published by the house.
Olfactory profile
Boha opens powdery: violet leaf and almond lay a soft veil that announces the bouquet's delicacy. We are far from aggressive white flowers; here the entrance is muffled.
The heart reveals gardenia, jasmine and orange blossom, three white flowers Vanina Muracciole holds in a subtle balance, neither too indolic nor too honeyed. It is an opulent yet legible bouquet that evokes purity while keeping a sensual charge.
The base tips purity toward provocation: ambery woods, oakmoss and enigmatic musks give the bouquet a dark, carnal ground. Wear is long, the trail present. A floral musk for spring and the mid-seasons, to wear by day or in the evening.
