Boucheron Eau Légère 2006

This is nothing like quirky shalimar. This is not huge or big or long lasting. It is lovely. I adore it for a light, fresh summer fragrance or something you can wear to the office. In the top there is an ambery citrus that is short-lived then there is hyacinth but a watery version. Not the bold strong green hyacinth. This is soft. There's musk in there, too. Yes, all the notes are present but it is a watery soft floral.

I agree, not much in common with the original Boucheron, but still a lovely fragrance for summer time,when Boucheron would most likely knock people over, especially EDP. Looks like the photo is mixed up the with the Jewel Edition EDP, my bottle is clear with gold design.

Just wanted to add for the Boucheron fans: don't be put off by "Eau Legere" part. I was wearing it today, and even though it is light, it has great sillage and lasts at least 4 hours.

I test tried it. It reminded me right away of Shalimar, but comparing the ingredients, I can see that Shalimar is a more complex one, however, they do match quite a bit. The opening notes are of musk, vanilla bean, and some citrus. I cannot smell hyacinth. It also reminds me of some men cologne the name I can't recall. It settles down after 30 min or so, into a powdery smell but I wouldn't call it "an old lady" perfume. I can't wear Shalimar, and this one though it's not bad smelling, is not a perfume I would chose to wear. I may try it again during spring/summer and see if scent changes with temperature.

Dear Olga... Your bottle is another version, which isn't available on this site, yet. There are many eau legeres and many Joaillier versions EDT and EDP for almost all Boucheron parfums. The bottle shown here, is a scent, as I see it, which could be for men and women. It's clear, fresh and stays for a lot longer (about 6-8 hours). I also have many versions not shown at this site, yet. The jewel version is only available in 50 ml EDP, which scent is exactly the same as the Boucheron de Boucheron.
