What a vixen! Absolutely!
So, first of all, I don't have this fragrance in the pictured bottle, but this one here:
http://picture.yatego.com/images/55f29c39b2db32.3/e5bbbf7bbf37464b9eff50af373b08ee-kqh/florascent-bahou---aqua-orientalis.jpg
Okay, I actually like this one better and it fits the fragrance name much better.
However, I had associated it more with a light scent like the one in the pictured bottle. Something like a trivial air freshener.
But it always turns out differently than a woman thinks *cough*
Bahou.... *exhale* - sounds beautiful and exotic. And then the fragrance notes, they read heavy and lush and after I sniffed the bottle, I quickly put it away. No, it’s too - um, plump for me!
Since "she" - that is, my curiosity - lulled me again, I decided to spray some on.
Wow, this is really... mmmmh, what a thing! So incense-like and spicy. A bit cool due to the oud but powerful because of the sandalwood. But not the heavy lushness like Shalimar or Opium, rather somehow fluffy.
What I like best is the combination of incense with these spices. A rounded bouquet like a kind of "bazaar," through which you stroll in almost unbearable heat. But Bahou doesn't overwhelm you. It has something truly oriental, yet refreshing, and somehow it puts you in a good mood. I feel erotic and cheeky, I like to provoke and deliberately sneak particularly slowly and closely past colleagues or bend down in front of a shelf, right next to someone while shopping, to grab something for my shopping cart. Just to see the reaction. Be it a deep breath, sniff, or smile.
Ahh... and the nice thing is that the scent doesn't last too long. Well, that's relative. For me, it lasts easily 6 hours. Need it longer? Nope! And you can wear this fragrance perfectly during the day without any worries. It’s not intrusive. A beautiful "spice cake," juicy, refreshing, and the best -----> without calories ;-)

Deep Orient
Two dominant elements are sandalwood and what lingers long is the incense. The oud note resonates subtly and makes the fragrance feel heavy, in my opinion.
Lustful, erotically intoxicating, risqué - a bold scent for women who know what they want. I assume the name Bahou refers to the Arabic origin in the word Bukhoor, which means incense and is still an old tradition on the Arabian Peninsula. From this perspective, it's an absolute hit, not a scent adapted for European noses, but rather, in my opinion, absolutely authentic.
Not a light girly scent for a spring stroll through the city.
One must be extraordinarily bold and have a desire for a fragrance experience that you won't find in perfumeries.
The scent captivates me and makes me dream of much, much more of it...

On one hand, a beautiful smoky, also oriental opening & heart, on the other hand, later a base that’s too dusty and dry for me. Almost there.

Spice cake without calories and absolutely not cloyingly sweet, but pleasantly smoky, slightly woody, and spicy. Almost like a taste orgasm.

The smoky, resinous components dominate. The EdT is not strong, but it smells deep & balsamic. Resins cling quite well to the skin.

Extremely resinous scent, but unfortunately it lacks assertiveness, even though the spices try to support it with vigor...

Starts off smoky and at the same time spicy-fresh. A non-sweet oriental for gray autumn days.
