Ballroom Bohème – Eau de Parfum

Wienerblut – a Viennese niche label that treats the city not as a postcard motif, but as a character. Ballroom Bohème recalls the night of December 12, 1877, when an imperial ban on dancing couldn't stop waltz-obsessed Viennese revelers – chairs were pushed aside, silk rustled, and the forbidden rhythm took over the ballroom.

Ballroom Bohème smells warm, spicy, and elegantly wicked. Clove sets a spicy accent, while orris butter lends a powdery, elegant depth, at the heart black vanilla and tonka absolute merge into a sweet warmth, before tobacco, Virginia cedarwood, amber, and mangrove wood (black oud) lay down a smoky, sensual base.

Ballroom Bohème works best in the colder months and in the evening – a unisex fragrance for anyone who loves a touch of disobedience.

What makes this fragrance special to us: the mangrove wood, also known as black oud – a fragrance oil from Borneo with a leathery, slightly smoky, animalic character that gives Ballroom Bohème its dark, seductive side.
