Miss Boucheron

I love this! How is this stuff so cheap? Looks like you can get a big 100ml bottle for 20 euro (23 dollars). Total steal. Fiance also likes it a lot. He thought it would be great for a spring party. He guessed this would be worn by someone in their late 20's or early 30's, so the age range listed above (25-35) is bang on. The only question is why the marketing department of Givenchy would choose a pink "toy" bottle for a perfume for 30-year-olds if that was the target. I mean. The average 30-year-old woman is already a MRS anyhow, why name the scent 'MISS' and put it in a cheapish plastic looking pink bottle with an Alice in Wonderland theme? I had a bottle like that when I was 12 and it was a kiddie perfume from a theme park. I wouldn't be surprised if the target audience for 'Miss Boucheron' was never reached because the bottle screams 'drugstore fruitiness for young teens'. The scent itself smells beige or champagne; you'd expect a classy bottle with white and gold accents or a light salmon bottle with flowers. Something like Estee Lauder Pleasures or Beautiful Belle, Laura Ashley No1, Lancome Idole, Armani Si, it's a scent in that vein of uplifting florals for daytime wear. It's very pretty and fresh in a fresh-from-the-shower sort of way. Like the smell of your hair after you've used a nice shampoo. It might be a bit generic, but you can wear this anywhere because people always appreciate this sort of happy & clean scent. I'd say it's a warmer scent with a rich base. The musk, lemon and pink pepper add some electricity and zing to the scent making it interesting. The end result is a fruity-floral for grown-ups that's not too sweet and a little soapy. Just beautiful and happy and free. Can't go wrong with this one. Addictive too, I keep smelling my wrist. Fiance: 8/10 Me: 8.5/10

You should note two things before reading my review. 1.) I am a complete doofus when it comes to perfume. I like what I like, and aside from having a scent memory of the 1970s and 1980s fragrances of my youth, I have no preconceived ideas of what something "should" smell like - I like it or not, and there are plenty that I dislike. 2) Look at the perfumers who developed this: Anne Flipo and Dominique Ropion. Read their resumes - there is some real expertise here. Sometimes people think that they need to spend a fortune on a fragrance in order for it to be something they like. I get it - the expensive ones have that appeal. I feel that Miss Boucheron is getting so-so reviews because it is a less expensive fragrance. I am here to defend Miss Boucheron! It is a lovely scent with a note I can't quite distinguish -- maybe the cyclamen? Cyclamen, by the way, is a gorgeous, unusual flower, and not easy to grow. Miss Boucheron is well-blended and long-lasting. Last night I wore it to bed and woke up to its lovely dry-down, a sweet softness - just delightful. I have more fun wearing perfume to bed than during the day -- that way I am wearing it for myself and not worried about what my co-workers will think. The "miss" in Miss Boucheron is spot-on. It is a youthful, fresh, carefree scent.

I've found a great deal on a website so I decided to buy this one blindly, mainly because of positive reviews here. (Can't believe I did it again!) The first spray on my wrist gave me suede, darn straight suede mixed with pomegranate scent. Suede scent was very permanent, presented itself every stages the perfume developed. I was shocked at the time. It can't be since I like most of the notes listed and the convincing reviews mentioning how pretty it is. One morning I woke up and though "Well, I've paid for it, why not try to get along?". I decided to spray it on my body, 2 good squirts. That decision completely turned me around. On my body it smelled so nice I can't stop sniffing myself. THAT scary suede was still there, but subtle and gave the expensive edge to the compositions. The reviews are right after all. On me it's a sweet combo of pomegranate and flowers. Framed with subtle suede and cedar. Inoffensive, feminine, office scent. Lovely! Staying power is great enough, 6 h minimum on me with 3 squirts. I've learned even on my wrist, the perfumes may turn out differently from actually spraying it on my body. How complicated!

I have to admit I love Miss Boucheron. I have the original Boucheron which I wear on special occasions only but Miss Boucheron is one of my favorite casual perfumes. I love how the fruity notes are combined with the fresh floral notes and a touch of suede. The scent is modern, pretty and young but also chic. The composition is not complex or dramatic but it is graceful, light and sparkly. I get lots of compliments when I wear it. The pomegranate note is playful and lovely in the opening mixed with a nice doze of pink pepper. I love roses and I can definitely smell them in the heart notes but I think the lead floral note here is the cyclamen. I think it is the cyclamen that makes the heart notes to smell so fresh and gentle. The suede note is very feminine and soft here. It mixes lovely with the freshness of cyclamen. The dry down is similar to the heart notes but toned down a bit. The scent becomes lighter in the dry down but it lasts for at least 8 hours. Overall score is 8/10. Miss Boucheron is a lovely, sassy and casual fruity floral that I definitely recommend trying.

I received a sample of this and at first I like it,but after I wore it one day to test it I fell in love with it. It smell of Paris in a spring day, I feel as I am a beautiful confident wealthy bourgeise in an elegant attire who enjoy a trip around France. It smell of luxury hotels,Concorde,French Riviera..Jet Set. I could see young Catherine Deneuve or B.B. in YSL or Chanel attire. It start with Pink Pepper Cyclamin Suede and soft woody rose,then the suede,musk and woody notes gain much rich deep feeling along pink pepper violet and cyclamin. To me it is noticeable also leather. It' a woody-flowery-leather perfume. Nothing cheap or overcrowded. It's so traditional to me,more suitable to 30 years women and up. Someone wrote that smell plastic and synthetic but I totally disagree... to me it's a pure beauty to wear dreaming about a priviledge life in the French Riviera and Paris going from a boutique to a museum and then a trip to Capri.
