Bold As Love

Thameen, the British house, released Bold As Love in 2024, composed by Pierre Negrin. Gourmand sweetness and woods share the lead, with spice, flowers, aromatic herbs and leather all in the mix. It is meant for anyone.

Pineapple, apple and mandarin give it a juicy, fruity opening, sharpened by ginger's warmth and the resinous, gin-like snap of juniper berries. Lavender and geranium form an aromatic, slightly rosy heart, fresh and herbal rather than sweet. Underneath, leather gives a smooth, darker texture, while patchouli and vetiver bring an earthy, woody base with a dry, rooty edge.

The pairing of fruit and leather gives it a confident, sociable character, suited to evenings out and cooler weather, though the fresh opening makes it workable on milder days too. People who like fruity, leathery woods, especially the pineapple-led style of modern masculine fragrances but in a more rounded, shared form, will find this sits close to their taste.
