Kate Walsh Boyfriend is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2010, created by Marypierre Julien. Boyfriend opens with Myrrh and Plum, settles into a heart of Woody, Jasmine, and Lily Of The Valley, and dries down to a base of Musk and Amber. Kate Walsh's Boyfriend carries a Favourite verdict, a amber-led wear.

Boyfriend is a true love-it-or-hate-it scent: a celebrity fragrance that punches well above its weight, conjuring a deeply comforting boozy warmth. It's divisive, thanks to a pronounced myrrh note, but those who love it call it a warm, inviting embrace.

When To Wear

Best Seasons

A cold-weather scent - best worn in winter and autumn.

Best Occasions

Best For:
Date Casual
Also Works:
Formal

Its rich, warm, and somewhat heavy nature makes it ideal for dates and casual evenings, creating an intimate 'scent bubble' that many appreciate. The strong sillage and prominent amber/myrrh accords might be too much for an office or formal setting, although some find it suitable for work. It's definitely not one for sport.

About

Boyfriend unfurls with a rich, boozy plum, quickly easing into a heart of warm, resinous myrrh and deep amber, underscored by silken musk and subtle woody notes. Hints of jasmine and lily of the valley provide an unexpected, gentle lift, balancing the otherwise thick, almost syrupy-sweet warmth and preventing it from becoming cloying. Overall, it's a dark, opulent embrace.
