Question:
I have sampled rock star and marrakesh (sic). They both go on so majorly musky that I couldn't bear to wait around to see what developed. So they seem aptly named!

So they seem aptly named! Heh!! I just swapped on MUA for a partial bottle of Bohemian Wedding, I'll post here when I've had a chance to sample it.

Answer:
Okay, I got my bottle of Bohemian Wedding. Are all these perfumes alcohol based? I have to wonder if my bottle was watered down, 'cuz the longevity is laughable - 10 minutes. I guess the only way I'll know for certain is if I order some of the ridiculously expensive 1-mL samples from the Rich Hippie website.
It's a very pleasant, very LIGHT scent with no longevity. I mean absolutely zero longevity. The Rich-Hippie.com website (Cognoscento had it right on...it's terrible, very late '90s styling, agreed about the frames) lists it as a "Chic, romantic, earthy floral with notes of Sumatran Patchouli and Italian citrus."
The citrus is very prominent for quite literally five minutes, then it goes away. I can't smell any patchouli even on the drydown. I am shocked at how shitty the longevity is. If I had bought this retail for $125, I would be highly pissed (angry) that it only sticks around for a lousy ten minutes. The bottle I received is an alcohol-based fragrance, not an oil. I splashed it on very liberally before work one day, and by the time I got into the office it was totally gone. I just doused the inside of my wrist with some to test it as I was writing this post, and after 10 minutes it was gone. Not even the faintest whiff of sunny citrus or earthy patchouli. WTF?
Although it's a refreshing scent, my American nose is accustomed to smelling lemon and citrus and thinking "cleaning products." As Bohemian Wedding dries down, it smells warmer and sweeter. Then it disappears. I don't understand how they can call it "floral" when there are no flowers.
I really like the organic idea, but the bottles aren't very inspired. Okay, to put it bluntly, the bottles are crap. They're these narrow-necked glass bottles with a plastic screw-top lid that probably cost 19 cents apiece. Hardly worth the high price tag, even if the juice inside is organic. I also don't like the flacon style, I'd much rather have a spray. Guess i'll have to decant it into an atomizer if I want to spray it. There's absolutely no effing way I would pay full retail for this.
So Bohemian Wedding gets a "meh" from me. However, there are some others that sound pretty intriguing. There are a few that have note profiles that appeal to me, and I'd like to try them someday:
  • Hoochie Coochie ("Sweet, tropical, sexy and romantic floral featuring Indonesian Massoia Bark, Madagascan Vanilla Bean, Ylang Ylang flowers and light notes of Tunisian Neroli, Sweet Orange and Tangerine.") Half an ounce (14.7 ml) of this retails for $325!!
  • Foxy Lady ("Deep, dark, romantic, sexy, aphrodisiac with extracts of Sumatran Patchouli, Madagascan Vanilla Bean, Chinese Litsea Cubeba, Italian Clementine, Madagascan Ylang Ylang, Tunisian Neroli Blossoms and Blood Orange") Half an ounce of this (14.7 ml) retails for $325!!
  • Rich Hippie ("Hip, bohemian, seductive floral with extracts of exotic African flowers, Madagascan Ylang Ylang, Moroccan Rose, and French and Croatian Lavender Flower") Half an ounce retails for $125.
Psychedelic and Rock Star sound nice, but they also sound like they could be easily made at home by someone with access to quality essential oils.
  • Psychedelic ("Sensual, lush, mysterious and romantic with extracts of organic Madagascan vanilla bean, organic Madagascan ginger root and organic sweet orange peel.) Half ounce is $125, this one is marketed as Unisex.
  • Rock Star ("Racy, dangerous, sensual tropical floral with extracts of rare Indonesian flowers, Madagascan Vanilla Bean and Cove Bud.") Half ounce is $125. Is there such a thing as "Cove Bud" or is it a typo for "Clove Bud"?
