Boucheron

by Francis Deleamont , Jean-Pierre Bethouart

Boucheron Boucheron is an Eau de Parfum launched in 1988, created by Francis Deleamont and Jean-Pierre Bethouart. Boucheron opens with Asafoetida, Redcurrant Leaf, Bergamot, and Basil, settles into a heart of Lily Of The Valley, Narcissus, Broom, and Cedar, and dries down to a base of Sandalwood, Oakmoss, Musk, and Amber. Boucheron's Boucheron carries an Acquired verdict, a white floral-led wear.

A divisive yet iconic 80s powerhouse, Boucheron still commands respect. It’s a bold statement for a self-assured woman, though some find it dated; a love-it-or-hate-it classic that’s aged gracefully for the right wearer.

About

Boucheron opens with a complex, somewhat bitter citrus and green blast, featuring bright bergamot and marigold, quickly transitioning to a grand white floral heart. Tuberose, jasmine, and orange blossom dominate, nestled amongst hints of powdery orris and creamy ylang-ylang. The base offers a rich tapestry of warm amber, vanilla, and sandalwood, with a distinct animalic civet note that adds depth and a vintage purr, softened by benzoin and tonka bean.
