Boum Vanille Sa Pomme d’Amour by Jeanne Arthes

I bought it without thinking. Great value for the price and the packaging is gorgeous. At the perfumery, I smelled a lot of apple, too intense, so I thought about not buying it since I’m not into fruity aromas. Luckily, I took the risk. At home, I loved it; the apple is just right and not cloying, and I could really feel the vanilla base. If you buy it, keep in mind it’s VERY sweet and can be cloying if you’re not used to it. I absolutely loved it. It lasts about 2 hours, but for a casual, cheap perfume, it’s fine. It feels a bit synthetic, but the notes work well and smell delicious. It gives me Little Red Riding Hood vibes—mysterious yet innocent. I’d wear it more in winter. Highly recommend!!

I love it; its longevity is quite good. Smells like caramelized apple, and I definitely detect the vanilla. I’d say it’s more of a winter scent.

It’s a bit strong; I wear it after showering because it makes me feel very clean. It smells like a Pantene shampoo (I think the gold one), very berry-like. It’s delicious but more for winter because it can be cloying in the summer.

Delicious. I’ve been wearing it for a month in a tropical country; although it’s not recommended for this climate, it’s worked wonders for me. The notes make me feel like I’m at a fair or circus near the caramelized apple stall, where that warm caramel from the pot’s edge feels like a caress to the nose, paired with a juicy, slightly acidic apple creating a divine synergy. It lasts on me until the next day… and endless compliments. It totally exceeded my expectations; I think this is going to be my signature scent.

You can smell all the notes in this perfume. I let it macerate and it got better; it feels like a delicious sugared apple 🩷. Maybe the longevity is moderate, but for such an affordable price, it’s worth it. I’d keep it in my collection <3

At first, the acidity of the red apple and orange gives it a fresh vibe; within the first 15-20 minutes, that apple blends into a boozy cherry. Then it starts to caramelize: the apple returns, crisp and juicy, while the caramel toasts into a freshly baked apple pie—sweet and warm.

Finally, I found a perfume from this brand that’s truly worth it. I really liked it. Even though I don’t smell the vanilla, what stands out most are the apple and praline notes. I love it because it doesn’t smell like acidic apple like the Nina, but rather super caramelized, sweet, and gourmand red apple. Plus, it projects well and lasts a long time. I was surprised it lasted 6 hours on my skin, which is great for the price. It’s ideal for cold climates, autumn, and winter, and I’d even wear it at night. Truly a gem.

The longevity isn’t great and it doesn’t project well on my skin, but it smells rich. It’s super sweet with a very synthetic, caramelized apple aroma. It’s fresh and not as overpowering as it seems given all the sweet notes; very gourmand. It also gives me an impression of fruit cereals—I know it’s unrelated, but it reminds me of that. I got tired of it for a while and didn’t touch it for months. I’m using it again, and while I like it a lot, I don’t think I’ll buy it again because the scent wore me out a bit. It’s very linear and doesn’t change over time. Edit: I’ve finally finished the bottle and appreciate it more now that it’s running low. It’s rich, but I wouldn’t buy it again for anything. The Boum line’s longevity is very poor. The price is good, but if I had to rebuild my collection, I wouldn’t buy any from this line; I’d go with Tea Time à Paris, which are a bit pricier but last longer and are more pleasant. It’s good for trying, and I don’t doubt some people will love it, but with me, it’s completed its cycle.

I liked it; its notes are very fresh. I like that it has a touch of vanilla that goes well with the apple.

Oh my gosh, what a mess! At first, it smells like tobacco and cherry, like I stuck a pack of cigarettes in my nose. After 30 minutes, the cherry comes through, reminding me of that green apple shampoo my mom used. Honestly, it’s not worth it: no sillage, smells like skin, and the notes aren’t what’s on the box. I bought it blindly reading reviews and regretted it. Edit: At first, it made me gag; I smelled alcohol, tobacco, and green apple. But with wear, it magically changed. Now it smells like sweet, vanilla red apple, just like others say. It doesn’t smell like skin anymore, but like a scarf—perfect for when it’s cold. It just needs to last longer and leave a trail, because right now it’s too weak.

Really delicious, honestly it hits the 3 Bs: good, beautiful, and cheap. Depending on the heat, it works all day or just at night because it’s so sweet. It lasts about 4 hours on my skin and needs reapplication, but for the price, it’s totally worth it.

I really like it. It’s linear, no evolution. I bought it blindly based on reviews and because it’s a good price for an import. The first time I opened it, I didn’t like it entirely; I felt it was very strong and synthetic. On the skin, it’s strong and noticeable, but then the intensity drops, and after 5 hours it’s almost right on the skin. It’s fine for a quick outing in the afternoon or to have a good mood in the morning. It’s more of an autumn/winter scent and a lovely companion for that season where its performance improves. It’s an artificial-type apple and 100% gourmand, with a caramel that started to burn but they took it out right at the point. I’d like it much more if it had a note of popcorn. It’s ideal for going to the movies, a fun outing, or an amusement park. Very lovely, it transports me to a fantasy world. But I wouldn’t define it only for young people; I’m 30 and I’d keep using it for many more years.

It’s a perfume that evokes childhood, apple with caramel. It seems tender, ideal for lifting your mood because it gives me joy to smell it. I’d use it to go for a coffee, an ice cream, or a trip to the park with my little girl.

Sweet, edible perfume 🍭. I tried it at a pharmacy and liked it; I’d seen reviews and it seemed like my style since I’m into very sweet perfumes. I mainly smell the caramelized apple note on the opening; then, when it settles on my skin, mostly vanilla is perceived; it’s that aroma you feel when you pass by a cart selling garrapiñadas, popcorn, and cotton candy. I love the circus theme 🎪; the scent transports you to that type of event where you usually smell lots of sweets 🍬. Although it’s caramelized, I don’t feel it’s a sexy or sensual perfume. For me, it’s a sweeter, more innocent treat; it even has a touch of nostalgia; it seems like a perfume a little girl or teenager could wear. The longevity seemed good for a non-luxury perfume; it lasted about 5 hours. Maybe the scent is a bit synthetic, but I’d like to have it in my collection since sweet perfumes can get to me, and this one in particular also brings back lovely childhood memories 🎀.
