Green Bohème

Green Boheme chases a niche cult-favourite - Goldfield & Banks Bohemian Lime, the tart, sparkling lime sometimes nicknamed Lime-ventus. It opens with a bright, zesty finger lime lifted by bergamot and a green coriander snap, the invigorating citrus rush the original is loved for. Underneath, a touch of Haitian vetiver and dry Moroccan cedar and Australian sandalwood try to ground it. This is where reviewers say it falls short: the original's effervescent lime dries down into a rich, Aventus-like woody base with the lime still glowing hours later, while this version reads brighter but more linear, the lime fading after an hour or two with little woody depth left behind. Longevity is its main weakness. A clean, zesty warm-weather citrus that nails the fresh opening while smoothing over the prized woody base, at a budget price.
