About This Perfume
Think salt-sprayed florals, creamy almond milk breeze: that is House of Bō LA MAR. It opens with jasmine sambac, pink pepper and seawater, moves into gardenia, Indian ginger and Indian tuberose (a creamy, heady white flower) and settles on almond milk, benzoin (a warm, vanilla-like resin) and coconut. It reads unisex.
This fragrance is best in spring and summer. A good pick for the office and date nights. Released in 2021. Perfumer: Rodrigo Flores-Roux.
It holds for a few hours before it softens and sits as a skin scent.
Is it right for you?
- Best for: anyone after something floral and aquatic for the office.
- Sample first if: you want people to notice it; it stays close.
- Skip if: flowers are not your thing.
Around $250, a premium floral perfume.

Reading the House of Bō picks
Casa Blanca (Parfum, 2024) is smoky white tea with resinous, leathery suede, opening on labdanum, minerals and white tea and drying down to tobacco, bourbon vanilla and white oud.
LA MAR (2021) smells like salt-sprayed florals and a creamy almond milk breeze, with jasmine sambac, pink pepper and seawater over almond milk, benzoin and coconut.
Fresh rain, pear blossoms and soft cashmere describe Ave Maria (Parfum, 2025), which lists gardenia and Indonesian jasmine over merlot, oak wood and nappa leather.
