Suze
“Suze” (SOO-zeh) translates to “tears” in Serbian. Each element of nature’s cycle evokes tears of celebration and reflection, weaving a scent that mirrors the human experience in its most poignant moments. The invigorating top notes of spearmint and clementine embody tears of relief, awakened with elation. Orris Butter and Cassia lend a bridge of nostalgic tears to a deeply solemn yet resilient base of fossilized amber and benzoin. Capped with Spanish Nero Marquina marble, Suze is a study of contrasts.
All about this fragrance
Vibe check
This is a fragrance for close quarters and thoughtful company, when the room is quiet enough for its contrasts to register. It feels poised rather than loud: a white floral with a faint smoky edge that reads as composed, introspective and slightly nostalgic.
How to wear
Best in cool to mild weather, where its floral heart and smoky woods can unfold without feeling heavy. Apply lightly to let the extrait concentration project in a controlled way; one or two sprays are enough to create a soft halo that lingers on skin and in the air.
Who it’s for
For wearers who like floral compositions with structure, smoke and a vintage-leaning character. It will appeal to those drawn to niche perfumes that feel reflective, textural and a little unconventional rather than purely pretty or transparent.

The nose
Boris Zrnic is the founder and perfumer behind Boka Fragrance, a small independent house built around a highly personal, artisanal approach. His work for Boka leans into natural materials, careful structure and an understated but distinctive signature that balances brightness with depth. With Suze, Zrnic draws that style into a more reflective register: a white floral composition threaded with smoke, amber and woods. The result feels less like a polished mainstream floral and more like a niche study in contrast, where clarity, nostalgia and restraint are held in tension.
Boka’s story
Boka is a small-batch indie house with a nature-forward sensibility and a strong emphasis on craftsmanship and natural materials. Its fragrances feel intimate and authored rather than market-driven, with a minimal catalog that gives each release a clear identity.
Suze’s concept
Suze takes its name from the Serbian word for “tears,” and the concept is built around the many forms tears can take: relief, memory, reflection and resilience. The fragrance is framed as a study of contrasts, pairing bright citrus and floral lift with a solemn, smoky ambered base.
Extra info
Suze is Boka’s “newest scent” and is presented as an enveloping white floral with warming amber and smoke. The bottle is capped with Spanish Nero Marquina marble, and the name Suze means “tears” in Serbian.
