Bois Verna N•O•A•M 2022

Bois Verna is a carefree, feel-good fragrance with a sunny disposition and Caribbean exoticism - a holiday for every day!
Delicate and light, yet with enough mystical complexity to avoid being banal.
One rolls through the streets of Port-au-Prince and sees the sky passing overhead, and it could stay that way...

The opening is characterized by citrus notes and green grass (yes, lemongrass, but not only...) - spicy lemonade captures it quite well, not sweet, but bright and zesty.
Although cinnamon is not listed, it seems quite pronounced to me; combined with notes of black tea, it brings chai to mind, but topped with the citrus, it remains absolutely summery.
After a few hours, it becomes woodier, warmer, and vetiver takes the stage, here in its noble variant, light and cuddly, instead of strict and smoky.
This wonderful vetiver note is also what lingers the longest from the fragrance - a dream still on the T-shirt the next day.

So, a varied scent journey, but always at a pleasantly moderate volume, without being pushy, instead shifting and flashing up again and again.

What impresses me the most is the balance achieved and the pleasant finesse - with perfumes that are 100% naturally sourced, it can often be a bit rough and coarse otherwise.

So, for anyone who occasionally needs a short vacation in the Caribbean without having to board a plane, Bois Verna comes highly recommended for testing!
