House of BŌ Ave Maria is an Eau de Toilette launched in 2025. Ave Maria opens with Jasmine, Gardenia, and Cashmeran, settles into a heart of Rain, Neroli, and Pear, and dries down to a base of Oak, Red Wine, and Leather. House of BŌ's Ave Maria carries a Statement verdict, a white floral-led wear.

This is a seriously divisive white floral. Some swoon over its creamy, ethereal quality, finding it unique and sophisticated. Others dismiss it as a headache-inducing bomb, finding it screechy and generic, with a strong 'old school' vibe. Definitely not a safe blind buy.

About

Ave Maria opens with a dramatic flourish of heady gardenia and sweet jasmine, brightened by a hint of juicy pear and fresh neroli. A 'rainy' aquatic note attempts to cut through the richness, while a subtle, muted red wine accord mingles with soft cashmeran. The dry down introduces a gentle oak and leather, grounding the opulent florals with a touch of sophisticated warmth.
