Houbigant Mon Boudoir is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2019, created by Luca Maffei. Mon Boudoir opens with Bergamot, Pink Pepper, and Ginger, settles into a heart of Patchouli, Rose, Jasmine, and Iris, and dries down to a base of Musk, Sandalwood, Vetiver, and Vanilla.

A modern homage to a classic, Houbigant's Mon Boudoir is a regal, powdery amber that divides opinion. Some find it a timeless masterpiece, others a sweet, linear vanilla clone.

Scent Profile

Composition

Timeline

Showing: Overall Blend

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.

Declarable allergens

We derive these from the materials behind this fragrance's notes, not from the bottle. Each one is likely, not confirmed. The list is partial - the box can name others.

In standard patch-test panels

  • Geraniol from Rose

Other declarable allergens

  • Bergamot Citrus Aurantium Bergamia Peel Oil from Bergamot
  • Rose geranium Pelargonium Graveolens Oil from Geranium
  • Sandalwood Santalol from Sandalwood
  • Synthetic musk Hexamethylindanopyran from Musk
  • Vanillin from Vanilla
  • Ylang-ylang Cananga Odorata Flower Extract from Ylang-Ylang

The large name is the everyday one. The small name is the INCI form on the box, so you can compare the two. Reactions differ between people. A patch-test panel is not a ranking of risk. How we derive this

About

Mon Boudoir opens with a flicker of spicy ginger and pink pepper, quickly giving way to a rich, powdery heart. Heliotrope and an earthy orris meld with subtle florals, creating a plush, cosmetic-like texture. As it settles, a warm, enveloping base of vanilla, benzoin, and ambergris emerges, underpinned by creamy sandalwood and a hint of myrrh, offering a sweet, balsamic embrace.
