BOHEMIAN LIME

Bohemian Lime is a unisex eau de parfum by Goldfield & Banks, the Australian luxury perfume house founded by Dimitri Weber. Launched in 2020 and signed by perfumer Amélie Jacquin, it is a sunny, carefree citrus aromatic dedicated to a native Australian citrus that is still extremely rare in perfumery: a hymn to summer that has become one of the brand's bestsellers.

The Fragrance

Bohemian Lime is an ode to Byron Bay, the tropical, bohemian enclave of New South Wales and the easternmost point of mainland Australia, where the continent first meets the sun. The fragrance is born beneath the rainforest canopy, among native citrus trees drawing life from nearby waterfalls, and tells a story of sun, sea and free spirit. Like all of the house's creations, it combines Australian botanicals with French savoir-faire, at a concentration of 20% essences. In 2021 Bohemian Lime was a finalist at the Belgian Beauty Awards.

How It Evolves on Skin

The opening is a burst of freshness: juicy, green Australian finger lime joins Italian bergamot and coriander, which adds a spicy, almost peppery nuance to the citrus peel. In the heart, earthy, slightly smoky Haitian vetiver and dry, aromatic Atlas cedarwood emerge, adding depth without weighing it down. As the hours pass, the fragrance settles on Australian sandalwood, creamy and silky like skin after a day in the sun.

Who We Recommend Bohemian Lime To

We recommend Bohemian Lime to anyone who loves citrus scents but is looking for something more original and natural than the classic lemon. It is the ideal companion for spring and summer days, seaside holidays, free time and the office in the warmer months, whenever you want a luminous, clean and cheerful fragrance. It is a unisex scent that appeals to anyone looking for a fresh fragrance that is easy to wear and niche at the same time.

Fragrance Characteristics

Our Opinion

Bohemian Lime is one of those fragrances that put you in a good mood from the first spray: it has an immediate, contagious brightness, yet it never becomes ordinary. It is no coincidence that it is among the house's best-loved scents: in store it is often the one that makes people smile when they try it, and the one they take home thinking of summer.

FAQ

Does Bohemian Lime smell like Aventus?
Several fragrance lovers describe it as a more citrusy, sunnier alternative to Aventus, thanks to its freshness and clean woody base. Bohemian Lime, however, focuses entirely on lime and green notes, without the fruity, smoky accord of Creed's famous fragrance: the result is more natural, carefree and summery.

What is finger lime?
It is a citrus fruit native to the rainforests of Queensland and New South Wales (Citrus australasica), also called caviar lime because its flesh is made of tiny juice-filled pearls. The Aboriginal Bundjalung people call it Gulalung. Before Bohemian Lime, its aromatic oils had rarely been used in perfumery.

Why is it called Bohemian Lime?
The name celebrates the free, bohemian spirit of Byron Bay, the New South Wales town famous for its tropical, laid-back atmosphere, where Goldfield & Banks set the fragrance. The name of the town also appears on the bottle's label.

Is it only a summer fragrance?
It is at its best in spring and summer, on warm days and outdoors, but thanks to its soft woody base it is a pleasure to wear all year round during the day, at the office or in your free time, whenever you want a feeling of cleanliness and light.
