It’s almost Valentine’s Day, and one of the best gifts someone can get for Valentine’s is a fragrance. Let me introduce you to this amazing new scent Mandy created:Boheme Confection!
Mandy Aftel delights in blends of natural scents that celebrate the beauty and corresponding underbelly of nature while working with historic and modern materials to capture a breadth of human experience that spans centuries.
In July, Mandy was announced as the winner of the 2022 Art and Olfaction Septimus Piesse Visionary Award, in honor of her “exceptional vision regarding how scent is used, developed, or imagined.”
An introduction of Mandy Aftel:
Hi, I’m Mandy Aftel! I create fragrances from my exquisite collection of sublime pure and natural essences from around the world, culled from years of searching for the most beautiful varieties. I blend and bottle the fragrances by hand in small batches in my Berkeley, California studio. Everything I make is free from synthetics, parabens, glycols, and petrochemicals. My products are sold exclusively on my website and not in stores. I have written 5 books about fragrance and flavor, and I teach people how to create natural perfume through my workbooks and Zoom classes.
Mandy Aftel has recently created an amazing new fragrance that has many of us fragrance “junkies” swooning over this scent and how Mandy Aftel has presented this new scent– as a liquid and as a solid!
Boheme Confection perfume is divinely delicious. This romantic perfume radiates a sumptuous bohemian sensuality. A yin-and-yang of a perfume — both sweet and earthy at the same time — has a tension between the dirty decadent, and dessert-like facets.
The scent family is gourmand. The notes of Boheme Confection are rich and last a while
NOTES:
Pink Lotus, Patchouli, Bitter Almond, Sarsaparilla, Strawberry, Chocolate, Peru Balsam, Benzoin, Methyl Anthranilate, Maltol, Vanillin.
The foundation of the perfume is the sexy love affair between patchouli and pink lotus. Each is full of rich mystery and darkness, which is exponentially magnified when they are merged. In the perfume’s heart, pink lotus, with its dank floralness of unfathomable depth, is blended together with a smidge of earthy chocolate and lush strawberries. The candied notes of marzipan, spun sugar, sarsaparilla, and vanilla provide a counterpoint to this intense richness.
Boheme Confection is a fragrance that will be a favorite scent because the notes are rich, and over the course of a day (or night), the fragrance will evolve with different notes taking the forefront. There are two options: a solid, almost wax-like presentation and a liquid scent. The packaging is visible
on Aftel’s website!
Mandy Aftel was generous enough to send me a small sample box with a small vial of the liquid scent, a sample of the solid version of Boeheme Confection. This scent is AMAZING!
It has great longevity in both solid and liquid versions.
When you wear the scent, the notes evolve like musical notes
that sound different over time.
Valentine’s Day Gifts!
If you need to get a Valentine’s Day gift, this fragrance — in either format or both- is well worth the price. The solid |version has limited availability. The liquid scent is available. There is good reason to get some of the solid fragrance, as
well as the liquid. The solid version of the fragrance evolves
a bit differently than the liquid.
I personally have fallen in love with this scent.. and it is
a rare event that I would even make that statement.
Boehme Confection will be a remarkable gift for any
woman.. even if you are buying it for yourself.
You won’t be sorry!
