Boucheron Fleurs

Boucheron Fleurs hit the market in February 2019 and was presented in Brazil to some dealers and professionals of the industry at an event held on April 2nd, in Sao Paulo. This is another version of the iconic (and first-ever) fragrance Boucheron Pour Femme, launched in 1988, which was inspired by the goldsmiths of a refined Paris, and the bottle - designed by Joel Desgrippes - served as a reference for the famous line of Cabochon rings. The line has already been repackaged and Boucheron Fleurs perfume follows the new visual identity available in the market. Its fragrance was jointly created by perfumers Quentin Bisch and Natalie Gracia-Cetto, responsible for other fragrances of the brand. It has lemon, pear, and mandarin notes, in the head; Orange blossom absolute, frangipani, and Petalia, in the body; Benzoin balm, white musk, and vanilla, in the base. It is not one of those flankers that should be compared to the original product, because the latter was born at a time when raw materials of a more natural origin, including animal, were used, as was the case with the civet. But we can say that the new fragrance is a more modern rereading, yet full of nostalgia. Boucheron Fleurs is one of those perfumes that seem to have been made with milk rather than water. There is a latent creaminess, from beginning to end, that gives a more enveloping air than usual. When I remember the countless stories I've read and heard about Cleopatra bathing for hours in a mixture of milk, lavender, and roses, I can imagine the feeling by drawing an immediate comparison with the smell of this creation. Before revealing my interpretation, it is worth explaining that Petalia is a patented Givaudan compound that has a strong floral accord, ranging from roses and peonies to the scent of jasmine and lily of the valley. On the skin, Fleurs opens with the scent of a rich pear frappe, which is poured into a tub filled with frangipani petals, with its fruity and milky nuances. It is in this fusion that your body is submerged, resting and receiving a hydration loaded with essential oils until you reach out and grab a small porcelain jar (previously set aside) that was filled with a rich, dark and thick emulsion of vanilla. By slowly pouring it over your own body, new scented facets exude at the same time the skin appears to gain an oily, almost sticky layer. It is the musk conferring its extremely silky content. The translucent blue color of the bottle doesn't bother me and, truth be told, it even conveys me more truth than if it were pink, for example. I think it is a great floral for days and, especially, nights of spring and summer. The box is full of charm, with floral and metalized adornments in a noble tapestry style. For me, Boucheron Fleurs reveals a beautiful transition within the same line, without forgetting two indispensable aspects for this brand and for the woman who wears their jewelry: femininity and elegance.

Gorgeous ORANGE-BLOSSOM, FRANGIPANI & BENZOIN. Signed by perfumers Quentin Bisch (Delina Parfums de Marly), and Nathalie Gracia-Cetto (Burberrty Brit Rhythm For Her), this beauty opens with a fruity burst of pear & citrus, deepening into a floral heart with powdery, clean, velvety, soapy & tropical nuances, all resting on a benzoin-vanilla base. Overall in the air I get an orange-blossom scent with really good projection, and on the skin it has a sparkly sugar-crystal texture, and lush, sweet, tropical frangipani with a pleasant detergent vibe underneath. Some reviewers have described a milky or lactonic note, and while there is no lactonic note, the body and fullness from the petalia & frangipani might read as milky to some. Average performance. It's a love for me. 10/10. Enjoy! Update 02/23/24: I came back to this one after awhile and it's really evolved. The projection has really blossomed and there's an impression of jasmine built from the other florals. The longevity has improved to slightly above average for year round wear. I'm overall now getting an impression of a jasmine & white-floral scent. Update 08/10/24: Ok, so this has evolved even more. It's now fluffier and thicker in a powder, soapy, almost creamy way. I'm getting a predominantly orange-blossom scent, but I also get some jasmine and petalia. Interested to see if it will evolve further. Still a love.

I'm going to come back and do a full review when I get the chance, but so far this is love at first sniff (of the back of one hand). I always seem to have great luck with the house of Boucheron! Boucheron Fleurs seems like the cheerful and sporty older sister of Boucheron Jaipur, a scent I love for its romance and melancholy. As others have noticed, the blue bottle (and bluish juice?) suggests an entirely different scent than this one, but I'm not complaining because I love all the Boucheron bottles, cheap little plastic caps notwithstanding. Something about it is giving Jean Naté vibes, and I'm here for it. It's more elevated, sure, but it reminds me of how lovely I found that fragrance when I was a little kid and smelled it in the drugstore.

This fragance is amazing Don't let the citrusy opening fool you, the name is really accurate. Once it warms up, you will get flowers! This is a beautiful fresh(ish) floral, SWEET and not soapy fragance. It is delicate, very well blended and balanced. Definitely best suited for warm/er weather - spring - I'm not sure about summer Blind bought this one, no regrets 😊 It is sweet you'll definitely smell the frangipani. --- I own the Jaipur Bracelet and the only similarities it has to this is being floral - It's a totally different floral scent, colder, no citrus in the opening, to me as it dries down I'm reminded more of Burberry London or Gucci Bloom - Whereas Boucheron Fleurs leans slightly tropical and creamy (almost sun tan lotion)

Beautiful fragrance. It is sweet, but not too much. Actually, nothing in this fragrance is too much. At first I thought it does have nothing to do with the original, but now I do recognize the core of the original enveloped in new flowers. To me, actually, the strongest notes are orange blossom and benzoin, and that is, I think, what it keeps from the original, in which these two notes are to me also the dominant ones. But this one is different, floral creamy sweet, and not nearly as powerful, which is a pity. I also find it soapy, which I like a lot. But as the time goes by, the similarities with the original Boucheron increase, as if it comes out of it. Lovely. I also like the bottle, the box, and the colour.
