A truly gorgeous, bold, and complex floral with a warm spice kick. Boucheron Initial is a masterpiece gone too soon, adored for its unique sophistication and depth, but some found its strong pepper and honey notes too much to handle.

About

Initial by Boucheron opens with a zesty mandarin and a notable black pepper punch, brightened by redcurrant leaf. Soon, a rich floral heart of lush rose and delicate jasmine emerges, grounded by earthy patchouli. The dry down settles into a luxurious, honeyed almond musk, creating an enveloping, warm, and subtly gourmand embrace.
