This lasted about an hour on my skin before I had to basically stick my nose into my skin to smell it. Reminds me of d'Annam's Japanese Whiskey's drydown, but it's definitely not the exact same. Nice scent, not a fan of its sillage A revisit In my first review i mentioned me not gagging at the perfume. It felt weak and bland, especially compared to the price. But yesterday i received this for my birthday. Now I dont let other people choose perfumes for me most of the time because id hate for someone to waste their money only for me to end up hiding it in a box, but I accepted it this time. And i dont know if that affects my love for this fragrance, but i must say i enjoy it much more than i did while sampling it for the first time! Before describing the perfume in depth, i want to talk about benjoin bohemes longevity and performance. When i first sampled it, i was appalled at how thin and weak the scent felt. Its a benzoin fragrance, how could benzoin ever be weak? I literally own benzoin resin and i can smell it from a distance sitting in sealed bag. To (not so) my surprise, the back of the box lists alpha isomethyl ionone. The ingredient thats present in almost all of diptyque perfumes, even Tempo! I immediately thought of my experiences with fleur de peau and orpheon, scents that seemed to be extremely weak when i wear them but extremely strong and long lasting when i smelled it on others. Thats the beautiful and i guess ugly side of ionones, they make a scent smooth and powdery and moreso violet-y than iris-y, but also impossible to smell for extended periods of time. So i decided to treat BB the same way as fleur de peau and tempo: dont think about them, dont sniff the spot you sprayed, dont spray it too close to your nose and dont actively try to smell it often. Suddenly, benjoin boheme revealed an ancient golden glow to my nose. Something deep, sweet, radiant, enveloping, mysterious and almost religious with a classic and vintage amber touch. I was shocked! I always saw diptyques perfume as pretty (and implicitly) vintage, but i never thought benjoin boheme would be their vintage amber! Eau lente came close but that one has a weird citronella facet that annoys me.. As the scent continues to open up, it becomes more and more ambery. Its not JUST benzoin mind you, the addition of patchouli makes it an amber to my nose. The cinnamon and incense dusted vanilla aspect of the benzoin gets highlighted as time passes. The initial powderiness remains, but the scent evolves...
