Boucheron Serpent Bohème is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2020, created by Anne Flipo. Serpent Bohème opens with Mandarin and Blackcurrant, settles into a heart of Desert Rose, Rose, and Jasmine, and dries down to a base of Musk, Sandalwood, Patchouli, and Labdanum. Boucheron's Serpent Bohème carries a Favourite verdict, a floral-led wear.

This one's a quiet charmer, a 'mute scent' that whispers elegance rather than shouts. While some find it too safe or fleeting, many are utterly smitten with its delicate balance, deeming it an underrated gem. It's a crowd-pleaser that sparks a subtle joy.

Scent Profile

Composition

Timeline

Showing: Overall Blend

Top, heart and base are the brand's own listing, not a timing claim - the industry classifies a note by its character as much as by how fast it fades. Each curve here is modelled from that material's own volatility, so groups can overlap when a house lists long-lasting materials in its heart.

Its delicate and elegant nature, with balanced florals and musk, makes it ideal for office wear and casual settings, as noted by many reviewers. The moderate projection means it’s not overpowering for dates or semi-formal events, but it's too subtle for sport.

Declarable allergens

We derive these from the materials behind this fragrance's notes, not from the bottle. Each one is likely, not confirmed. The list is partial - the box can name others.

In standard patch-test panels

  • Geraniol from Rose

Other declarable allergens

  • Sandalwood Santalol from Sandalwood
  • Synthetic musk Hexamethylindanopyran from Musk

The large name is the everyday one. The small name is the INCI form on the box, so you can compare the two. Reactions differ between people. A patch-test panel is not a ranking of risk. How we derive this

About

Opens with a bright, juicy splash of blackcurrant and mandarin, quickly leading into a tender floral heart of dewy rose and jasmine. The dry down introduces a creamy sandalwood and earthy patchouli, softened by a clean, musky embrace. Labdanum adds a hint of resinous warmth, grounding the delicate florals.
