Zelen was the first creation by independent American fragrance house Boka Fragrance in 2023. Zelen is an Aromatic Green scent with citrus, woody, aromatic, earthy, green, sweet, fresh spicy, and soft spicy accords. The creator is Serbian American perfumer Boris Zrnic, house founder of Boka.
“Zelen” translates to “green” in Serbian. This scent is Vetiver as it was meant to be celebrated. Refined, elegant, and classic. Teeming with balanced bittersweet Pink Peppercorn and Italian Bergamot spice, underscored by effervescent Green Cardamom. Delicate yet demanding. Transcendent Mexican Lime and fragrant Beeswax Absolute bound in the warm musky embrace of Haitian Vetiver, Mysore Sandalwood and Virginia Cedar. Capped with Italian Carrara marble, Zelen is perennial and epicene. Note: this composition contains nearly 75% of essential oils.”
"Perfume is often cited as the most intense form of memory. It conjures images and events, a cinematic experience all of your own making.
The Serbian heritage of our founder and perfumer, Boris Zrnic, defines Boka’s entire lexicon. “Boka” is the affectionate childhood nickname used by his family, and immediately became the working title of our scent collection.
Boris spent much of his childhood in nature—the other primary pillar of the brand. The world’s natural wonders seep heavily into our scents, as nearly every fragrance note derives from an element found in nature.
We hope these scents spark your sense of nostalgia in nature."
