Which Should You Buy?
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.
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
Seasons
A cold-weather scent - best worn in winter and autumn.
Occasions
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.
Seasons
The powdery florals layered over warm vanilla, cinnamon and patchouli read cosy and intimate, suiting autumn and winter best.
Occasions
Its sensual, dressed-up boudoir character favours dates, evenings and formal wear over daytime or office settings.
