Best House of BŌ Bombon by House of BO Alternatives & Similar Perfumes
House of BŌ Bombon is a floral woody musk composition distinguished by the freshness of lily-of-the-valley and lychee paired with the sweetness of caramel and marshmallow. Spices like saffron and pink pepper add warmth alongside the depth of cognac, ambergris and birch tar, creating a sophisticated balance of light florals and rich gourmand touches. Those drawn to this fragrance should focus on contrasts between fresh floral notes and the creamy, sweet gourmand base with a hint of smoky woodiness.
Yes I do by Etat Libre d'Orange £129.17
- Key notes:
- jasmine
- lily-of-the-valley
- marshmallow
- Aromagroups:
- floral
Renamed for decency reasons, the perfume previously known as "Don`t Get Me Wrong Baby, I Don't Swallow" is now called "Yes, I do"
We are quoting ELdO here:
"It all starts with a hand on the nape of a neck. The hand of a man familiar with the practice of attracting young women, accustomed to crumpling their sleek hair and to getting the better of their well-behaved manners. This is the story of a man in a car at night, of a manly hand that draws a perfectly fresh face towards him - expressed at the start by a bouquet of white flowers: lily of the valley, jasmine and orange blossom–, and who anticipates the chocolaty taste and tenderness of a mouth. It is also the story of a woman who at first resists and finally goes down on him. The art of the “American kiss” unfurls on accords of ambre solaire, almond, sugar cane and marsh mallow. The man will discover everything there is to know about her: the warm roughness of her tongue, the rousing sensation of her back and forth. All there is to know and no more than that! The appetizer ends in a whisper: “Don’t get me wrong baby, I don’t swallow.”

This girl is a gift for well-behaved men. The one who bursts into a party and suddenly makes you want to believe in Santa. Half way between a flirtatious temptress and a dancing queen, the temperature rises just by her presence.
To hell with “global warming”! She’s here to have fun, no matter what. Heavenly lightness in December… Sweet honey notes at the start lie on a vanilla-tangerine accord and all at once life becomes as captivating as the fullness of her décolleté. It’s soft and warm, notes swirl and dance, and the world starts spinning, like a faceted mirror ball, marvel of all marvels.
In the heart, red pepper mingles with nigella in a detonating cocktail of scents. Hot red lips adorn a lavishly extraverted smile. Breathtaking! The slightly musky, solar accord of the base speaks of the radiant warmness of her skin under her laughing throat. She calls for her after-midnight man, the one who will abduct her under the Xmas tree. And who will jealously sweep her off her feet and into his room, like a child would with his most precious present.

Pergola opens with the most incredible rush of twisted green vegetation and instantly transports you back to the heyday of that decadent walkway. There is so much happening in here but the notes of galbanum, bergamot, and ivy are particularly spectacular. The floral heart is a swooning blend of narcissus, tuberose, and jasmine but the pergola’s passage of history is provided by an earthy pairing of patchouli and vetiver. You get a real impression of its heritage from touches of resins and moss and, whilst it’s described as a fougere, there is definitely a feeling of the most glorious aromatic chypre.
