What a knockout of a fragrance. Having never known about this fragrance before, I tried it for the first time 20 years after its inception. Amazingly, I mistook Boucheron for a floral when I first applied it. Rapidly, a spiciness overtook the flowers, and then a citrusy floral over a creamy-sweet base, until it morphed into its true form--a big, woody, powdery, sweet Oriental with sillage to die for. This was made in the 80s, no doubt. Bold, memorable, and utterly pleasant for me.

EDP review:

A floriental that could very well have been the origin of Guerlain’s Heritage (but with an emphasis on moss and patchouli rather than florals). This is a decadent and heady floral-vanilla scent, which smells slightly overwhelming and very ‘80s when first applied. Luckily, this is short-lived, for as it evolves it reveals its seductive nature impressively, as well as its timeless appeal.

As others have mentioned, this is very much a power scent (and probably one of the strongest fragrances I’ve tried so far). Although alluring, it’s not as versatile as other equally high-quality scents. However, this should be seen more as a characteristic than a mere flaw (with consecutive wearings, it becomes clear that this is best suited for evenings and special occasions). It is also best worn in cooler weather and should be applied lightly. Guerlain’s Samsara also, fleetingly, springs to mind when wearing this.

As much as I love Boucheron EDP, the obvious similarities between this and Heritage EDP prevent me from purchasing a bottle. That’s not to say that they’re exactly the same but the overall vibe I get from these two are very similar. However, it’s still a fragrance I would strongly recommend to anyone (male or female) who loves dominant vanilla scents.

Two thumbs up.

I used to use Boucheron a few years ago and loved it. It was classy, complex with depth and definitely for the eveing. I don't know why I stopped using it. Maybe I'll give another try. I probably just fell out of love with it. Happens with perfume.

I like this scent a lot and decided to splurge on the 1/2oz parfum splash ring bottle, which was quite a bit of money, anyhow, I was VERY shocked and disapointed to find that the blue stone on the stopper is made of plastic. I dont understand why such a high end, expensive item like this would be made so cheaply. You'd think they could at least make the stopper out of blue glass or crystal, not cheap plastic :o\

I had this one when I was 16 (!!) years old and oved it, so not really an old lady fragrance. I just happen to like odeurs who are not just young and fresh and fruity. There has to be a depth in it, a richness and staying power. Something that makes me want to smell it instandly, here and now! And Boucheron has it all...

My absolute FAVORITE perfume of all! It makes me feel classy and sophisticated. The EDT does not last very long IMO, so now I only buy the EDP. I use the pure parfum for night. It's so wonderful and lasts a long time. Boucheron is a beautiful day or night scent, cool or warm weather. It's just pure elegance. I love all the different bottles too. Some day I hope to own a piece of Boucheron jewelry:)
