Jeanne Arthes Boum is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2004. Boum opens with Sugar Cane, Strawberry, and Tea, settles into a heart of Rose, Violet, Peony, and Freesia, and dries down to a base of Musk, Amber, Cedar, and Sandalwood. Jeanne Arthes's Boum carries a Favourite verdict, a sweet-led wear.

This budget-friendly fruity-floral divides opinion sharply. Some find it a delightful, clean, summery scent, while others dismiss it as a synthetic, short-lived disappointment, best suited for teen girls or as a room spray. You get what you pay for, apparently.

Its subtle sillage and weak longevity make it suitable for casual settings and quick errands, as it won't offend anyone. However, its 'shampoo-like' and 'juvenile' character, combined with poor performance, means it's not ideal for more formal occasions or dates where projection and sophistication are key.

About

Boum opens with a burst of sweet, juicy berries - think fresh strawberries and raspberries - underpinned by a delicate hint of tea and sugar cane. As it develops, a light, airy floral bouquet emerges, with peony, rose, and freesia leading the charge, softened by a touch of powdery violet. The dry down is a barely-there whisper of clean musk and subtle woods, fading almost as quickly as it appears.
