In a nutshell

Description & review snapshot

Bohème opens with a sticky sweetness of toffee and vanilla, cut through by Sri Lankan cinnamon. Rather than a pure gourmand, it quickly drys down to include rich pipe tobacco and soft leather. It has an easygoing, warm feel suitable for cooler months.

Reviews →

Maison des Animaux Fragrances released Closer in 2025 as a bold tobacco gourmand. The scent opens with a contrast of sticky tropical fruit and warm vanilla, then transitions to heavy leather and musk. It offers a distinct option for those who want a sweet yet smoky signature scent for cooler autumn nights.
