by Boucheron
Boucheron is a bold, opulent oriental floral that commands attention with its luxurious complexity. It opens with a lively burst of apricot, citrus, and spicy basil, creating a bright, slightly medicinal top that quickly evolves into a rich, syrupy floral heart. Dominated by heady tuberose, jasmine, ylang-ylang, and orange blossom, the fragrance feels deeply feminine and sumptuous, with a luscious honeyed sweetness and a surging animalic depth from civet that adds sensuality and intrigue. The base settles into a warm, velvety blend of amber, sandalwood, tonka bean, and benzoin, creating a plush, slightly smoky, and deeply comforting drydown that lingers long after application. It's theatrical and elegant, evoking vintage glamour, with a pronounced sillage that makes a bold statement, particularly in cooler weather. While the texture is often described as rich and creamy, the perfume demands a confident personality; it is not subtle or minimalist.
