“Zelen” translates to “green” in Serbian. This is vetiver as it was meant to be celebrated, energised by the natural world. The emerald earthiness of vetiver is lifted toward the sun on a cloud of lime, bergamot and pink peppercorn. Green cardamom and beeswax absolute deepen the allure of Mysore sandalwood and Virginia cedar.
This composition is 25% parfum concentration, of which nearly 75% are natural ingredients. Capped with Italian Carrara marble in a delicately etched glass bottle.
All about this fragrance
Vibe check
This is the scent of someone moving through the day with quiet clarity: crisp shirt, warm skin, and a green trail that reads as composed rather than loud. Its vetiver, beeswax and woods suit close conversation and spaces where texture matters more than volume.
How to wear
Best in mild to warm weather, where the citrus and green spice can open cleanly and the vetiver stays luminous. Apply sparingly at first; the extrait concentration gives it presence, but the composition wears most elegantly when it sits close to the skin and releases in soft, steady wafts.
Who it’s for
For wearers who like vetiver with a polished, natural edge: green, aromatic, slightly spicy and woody, with a clean finish. It will appeal to people who prefer understated complexity, botanical textures and fragrances that feel refined without becoming sweet or heavy.

The nose
Boris Zrnic. As the founder and nose behind Boka, Zrnic appears to work in a highly personal, small-house mode: shaping fragrances around natural materials, memory and a distinctly Balkan sense of place. Zelen fits that approach with its green vetiver core, softened by citrus, spice and beeswax into something more transparent and wearable than a classic dense vetiver.
Boka’s story
Boka is a founder-led house built around Serbian heritage, nature and nostalgia. Its fragrances aim to feel rooted in natural environments rather than trend-driven, with an emphasis on materials that smell alive, textured and recognisably botanical.
Zelen’s concept
Zelen is Boka’s debut fragrance, and its name means “green” in Serbian. The composition was developed over several years as a verdant vetiver built to feel pure and timeless, with citrus and spice lifting the earthy base toward a brighter, more natural expression.
Extra info
Zelen means “green” in Serbian. It is Boka’s debut fragrance and comes in a delicately etched glass bottle topped with Italian Carrara marble. The formula is an extrait at 25% concentration, with nearly 75% natural ingredients.
