Vivienne Westwood Boudoir is an Eau de Parfum launched in 1998, created by Martin Gras. Boudoir opens with Hyacinth, Marigold, Bergamot, and Orange Blossom, settles into a heart of Rose, Jasmine, Orris, and Carnation, and dries down to a base of Sandalwood, Patchouli, Cinnamon, and Vanilla. Vivienne Westwood's Boudoir carries an Acquired verdict, a warm spicy-led wear.

A truly iconic, complex, and divisive fragrance. Boudoir is pure, unadulterated Vivienne Westwood: a punk-rock baroque extravaganza that polarises opinion. It's either an intoxicating, high-class 'dirty' floral or an overwhelming, skanky mess. One thing is certain: there's nothing else like her.

Boudoir's strong sillage and long-lasting, deep spicy floral character make it completely unsuitable for the office, where it would overwhelm. It's designed for intimate, special moments like a date or an evening event, where its seductive nature can truly shine, rather than casual wear or sport.

About

Boudoir opens with a bright, bubbly burst of aldehydes and orange blossom, quickly softened by marigold and hyacinth. The heart delivers a spicy floral punch of carnation and rose, intertwined with exotic cardamom and coriander, grounded by earthy orris. The base deepens into a sensual, warm embrace of vanilla, sandalwood, and patchouli, with a tantalising whisper of tobacco and cinnamon. It's a journey from clean florals to a rich, warm, and subtly 'naughty' drydown.
