In the enchanting realm of perfumery, where olfactory artistry meets the creative imagination, Thameen Bohemian Infusion composed by the esteemed Master Perfumer Maurice Roucel and Senior Perfumer Alexandra Carlin of Symrise, in collaboration with Christopher Chong, Creative Director at Thameen (the second in Thameen’s Britologne series) mesmerizes the senses with its blend of aromatic and herbaceous nuances, and its exceptional longevity and projection. Let us embark on a fragrant journey that unveils the captivating story behind Thameen Bohemian Infusion.

Thameen Bohemian Infusion pays homage to the dandyism of the early 20th century, a period renowned for its sophistication and elegance. London, a city steeped in history, culture, and creativity, serves as the backdrop for this olfactory narrative. During this era, London was a vibrant hub of artistic expression and intellectual pursuits, with a rich tapestry of avant-garde movements and flamboyant individuals who dared to defy conventions.
The opening of Thameen Bohemian Infusion is a symphony of vibrant notes. Blackcurrant and grapefruit combine to create a sparkling and invigorating introduction, setting the stage for the olfactory journey to come. As the fragrance unfolds, ginger and cardamom add a touch of heat, infusing the composition with an alluring warmth. The base notes of amber, labdanum, and ambroxan cocoon the scent with a cozy and inviting embrace, leaving an impression on the wearer and those around them.

Thameen Bohemian Infusion is a harmonious composition that celebrates the delightful fusion of aromatic and herbaceous notes. At its heart lie two distinctive botanicals: myrtle and artemisia. Myrtle, with its fresh and invigorating aroma, evokes a sense of vitality, while artemisia lends a herbaceous and green nuance, adding depth and complexity to the fragrance.
In the art of perfumery, sometimes the subtlest ingredients create the most remarkable impact. Thameen Bohemian Infusion pairs the citrus of grapefruit with petitgrain, resulting in a verdant nuance that dances on the skin. The vibrant grapefruit brings a zesty sparkle to the opening, while petitgrain contributes a touch of green freshness, enhancing the fragrance’s overall character.

Bohemian Infusion embodies the duality of warm and cool tones, creating a harmonious blend that entices and intrigues, weaving together contrasting elements, evoking a play of opposites. The warmth of the composition is accentuated by the use of patchouli, which takes centre stage in the base, lending a sophisticated and confident allure. Meanwhile, cool tones and aromatic facets bring a refreshing balance to the overall experience.
Thameen Bohemian Infusion has a distinct sense of style and free-spirited individuality. With its robust patchouli note, this fragrance embraces its retro charm, evoking a sense of nostalgia. It carries a certain masculine energy, reminiscent of the confident, yet sensitive men of that era.
