Boucheron Pour Homme
by Boucheron
Boucheron Pour Homme is a timeless, complex aromatic chypre with a bold citrus and floral opening that evolves into a rich, musky, woody drydown. It begins with a sharp, soapy burst of lemon and bergamot, quickly shifting into a floral heart dominated by rose, jasmine, and lily-of-the-valley, finished with a dry, powdery base of sandalwood, vetiver, and oakmoss. The fragrance is exceptionally well-balanced, blending masculine elements like lavender, basil, and spicy woody notes with feminine florals in a way that feels refined and never overwhelming. Longevity is excellent and projection is moderately strong, making it suitable for both day and evening wear. Despite its classic profile, it remains appealing and versatile, though some find the opening overbearing or the scent too dated for younger wearers. Its reputation as a mature, elegant, and timeless gentleman's fragrance is universally accepted, with many describing it as elegant, sophisticated, and like a polished suit.
