Boucheron 2000 EDP
Initial
by Jacques Cavallier-Belletrud
Boucheron Initial is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2000, created by Jacques Cavallier-Belletrud. Initial opens with Blackcurrant Leaf, Mandarin, and Pepper, settles into a heart of Floral Notes, Patchouli, Rose, and Jasmine, and dries down to a base of Musk, Honey, and Almond. Boucheron's Initial carries an Acquired verdict, a green-led wear.
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.What our verdicts mean →

Scent Profile
Composition
Timeline
Top, heart and base are the brand's own listing, not a timing claim - the industry classifies a note by its character as much as by how fast it fades. Each curve here is modelled from that material's own volatility, so groups can overlap when a house lists long-lasting materials in its heart.

When To Wear
Best Seasons
A winter perfume through and through - made for cold, dark months.
Best Occasions
Its rich, long-lasting nature and strong sillage, especially in EDP concentration, make it less suited for an office setting. However, its undeniable elegance and sensual undertones are perfect for formal events and romantic dates.
