Bohemian Soul. I know you!
You’re not really a perfume!
You are a place in my soul. There, where the dream of eternal summer resides.
You look like a cabin on the beach of Montauk. Not where the fancy chalets are, but where the surfers hang out.
On your porch with the peeling white paint hangs a hammock - a knotted one made of light cotton yarn, whose long fringes flutter in the wind.
On the floorboards lie a few large cushions scattered about. Boho, of course. Cotton cloths with ornamental patterns and faded towels dry in the breeze.
Everything fabric smells of salt and sea. Over the freshness lies the heavy and warm scent of sun-kissed skin, the aroma of sandalwood incense sticks that never seem to burn out, and the little lumps of incense that glow in a clay bowl in the evening.
I sit on the steps of the porch with my feet in the sand and hear from the beach the sound of a guitar from where a campfire crackles and small sparks rise into the sky.
Wrapped in the patina of eternal summer, I watch them go and drift away in my dreams.
I like the scent, but I have truly fallen in love with Nothing but Sea and Sky from the Montauk series by UNN. It has a similar character for me, but is cozier, creamier, and more pleasing than Bohemian Soul. The niche aspect of Bohemian Soul is indeed this incense-sandalwood-myrrh note, which reminds one of incense sticks and might be perceived as slightly musty. Like blankets and cloths that are in a room where incense sticks are lit daily. Not strong anymore, but as an overlay of freshness and creaminess. I have called this patina here ... Hippie Touch.
As I said - 140 EUR from my wallet will go to Nothing but Sea and Sky, but maybe I’ll spray a bit of Bohemian Soul on top to add a little more "edge" :-)
