Bohemian Fragrances for Free Spirits

There is a family of fragrances that seems made for people who have never really accepted the rules — earthy, slightly wild scents that carry within them the smell of forest, resin, campfire smoke and absolute freedom. Byredo's Gypsy Water has become the emblem of this aesthetic: bergamot, juniper, pine and patchouli that irresistibly evoke a caravan at the edge of a forest path. Le Labo's Santal 33, with its Californian cedar and cardamom, has become the signature fragrance of a generation of creators and modern nomads. These fragrances don't seek to please everyone — they radiate with quiet confidence and find their devotees among those who prefer the side roads to the conventional olfactive motorways.
