Bohdidharma

Bohdidharma is a British luxury niche house founded and perfumed by Michael Boadi, distinguished by a singular focus: every fragrance in the collection is constructed around tea as both central ingredient and conceptual anchor. Boadi does not treat tea as a supporting note but as the primary material—exploring its range from delicate white buds and vegetal Japanese greens to smoky Lapsang Souchong and warming spiced chais. This obsessive specificity draws on the deep cultural heritage of tea ceremony in China and Japan while employing contemporary fine fragrance technique. Compositions are precise and considered, balancing tea's inherent bitterness and freshness against complementary woods, resins, and florals without overwhelming the leaf. Bohdidharma operates as a true artisan house, distributed to specialty niche retailers who share its commitment to narrative-driven perfumery, and appeals to consumers who find the intersection of cultural ritual and olfactory art worth seeking out.
