Boka Suze Extrait

Description

Suze is a fresh, softly powdery floral that settles into amber and sandalwood. Suze means tears in Serbian, and Boris Zrnic composed it for Boka in 2024 as a study of contrasts: relief, grief, nostalgia and joy in one bottle. It opens bright with spearmint, clementine, black tea and orange blossom. The heart turns powdery and gently spiced with orris, cassia, lily of the valley, jasmine and magnolia. The base is grounded and warm: Mysore sandalwood, guaiac wood, amyris, amber, ambrette, benzoin and vanilla absolute. One reviewer described it as fresh, woody and softly enveloping with no sharp edges, and that is a fair summary.
