Bold As Love
Bold As Love by Thameen is an unisex eau de parfum in the luxury price tier. It opens with mandarin, ginger, apple and pineapple, moves into lavender, juniper berry and geranium and dries down to leather, patchouli and vetiver. Expect around 9 hours of wear, and it projects at a moderate level.
Notes, explained
Opening
- Mandarin Soft, sweet, almost powdery citrus. Gentler than orange.
- Ginger Warm, zesty and slightly soapy. Bridges citrus and spice.
- Apple Crunchy and tart or soft and red, depending on the treatment.
- Pineapple Tangy, boozy and tropical. Loud and hard to hide.
Heart
- Lavender Herbal, clean, slightly medicinal. Barbershop in one note.
- Juniper Berry Gin, basically. Piney, dry and bracing.
- Geranium Rosy and minty at once. Reads masculine more often than not.
Dry-down
- Leather Smoky, dry and a bit animal. Can be a new jacket or an old saddle.
- Patchouli Damp earth and dark chocolate. Either you love it or it's your least favourite note.
- Vetiver Dry, earthy, smoky grass root. Smells like soil and citrus peel.
