Trouble (2004)
by Boucheron

Sweet jasmine floral. A warm rich floriental but NOT a heavy scent. Very creamy vanilla, amber and woods in the drydown. Classy and mature!

Another misnamed fragrance: Trouble is a rich oriental that represents warm and comfortable femininity.

It opens with a pretty combination of heliotrope and white flowers on top of a fruit note I can’t identify. It is a very feminine fragrance that is somehow soft and vibrant at the same time.

Like so many Boucherons, Trouble rests on a warm, rich, and complex vanilla base. In this case the vanilla is infused with cedar, musk, and a bit of spice.

Longevity and sillage are very good.

There are similarities to YSL’s Cinema, but I find Trouble to be more engaging and less syrupy than Cinema.

Being a fan of Boucheron, I was more than willing to give it a chance, scent unsmelt, and I was not disappointed in the frag. My only criticism is that it smells so much like Dior Addict, and seems to be one of the many followers in the Angel types of scents. I'm not getting the Casmir coconut or the Hypnotic Poison almond accords, though.

This is definitely a rather strong oriental scent. I would not compare this with any of the Poison versions. Trouble is much more perfumey and remains much sharper, even after several hours. If I want this to work for me, I have to spray it, let it sit for about 30 min and then rinse it off a little with plain warm water. Then, I let it mellow for another 30 min before I face the public. I initially thought it would dry down to a floral vanilla (the way it initially smells on a tissue) , but it doesn't.... On me, the vanilla is almost nonexistent. It's much more musky with a heavy dose of synthetic florals, that last 10+ hours (even after watering it down.) I'll hang on to this for now.... but I know there are better floral orientals out there. Fortunately, I got a 1oz bottle for only $25, so it's not too much of an expenditure. ;)

Trouble smells almost identical to Cinema by YSL. Smells luxurious, and expensive. There are a lot of things going on in this perfume. This complexity is preferred for winter or night use.

The opening is soft fruity-floral, like cutting cutting a fresh pineapple with a dozen of flowers next to it. Next, the middle note is soft floral symbolizes feminism. Lastly, the warm vanilla leaves your skin subtle and sweet.

Nice floral-oriental, except for the fact that someone threw Spree candies and fruit Loops in it. I feel like an eight year old parading around in her mom's dresses and heels.
