Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Boudoir EDP
A truly iconic, complex, and divisive fragrance. Boudoir is pure, unadulterated Vivienne Westwood: a punk-rock baroque extravaganza that polarises opinion. It's either an intoxicating, high-class 'dirty' floral or an overwhelming, skanky mess. One thing is certain: there's nothing else like her.
Acquired
Our Verdict - Private Room EDP
Private Room reaches for Vivienne Westwood Boudoir's powdery floral-oriental boudoir warmth. The aldehydic-floral opening and vanilla-spice drydown ring familiar, but it stays softer and flatter, missing the raunchy depth the original is loved for.

Season and Occasion Fit

Boudoir

Seasons

Best For:
Autumn Winter

A cold-weather scent - best worn in winter and autumn.

Occasions

Best For:
Date
Also Works:
Formal

Boudoir's strong sillage and long-lasting, deep spicy floral character make it completely unsuitable for the office, where it would overwhelm. It's designed for intimate, special moments like a date or an evening event, where its seductive nature can truly shine, rather than casual wear or sport.

Private Room

Seasons

Best For:
Autumn Winter

The powdery florals layered over warm vanilla, cinnamon and patchouli read cosy and intimate, suiting autumn and winter best.

Occasions

Best For:
Date Formal

Its sensual, dressed-up boudoir character favours dates, evenings and formal wear over daytime or office settings.
