Quatre Iconic

Visually, gold is the precious metal of the season and the twist cap (created by Berry Beauté Marolles) features the band with a brown Clous de Paris finish in matte varnish, according to one of the brand's models (picture easily found on Google). The new fragrance was created by perfumers Ane Ayo and Pierre Negrin and lists notes of pink pepper, yellow mandarin, and ginger, in the opening. In the center of the composition were combined notes of tuberose absolute, blackcurrant, and peru balsam. At the base of the olfactory pyramid are notes of Haitian vetiver, ambrox, and patchouli. A scented bomb, ladies and gentlemen! Quatre Iconic is much more than just a fragrance; is a statement of elegance and a tribute to the essence of the modern woman. From the moment its precious liquid is sprinkled on the skin, a wave of sensuality enraptures the senses, without any delicacy. The initial phase brings a spark of citrus notes, which quickly unfold to reveal a voluptuous and exotic heart. The unique combination of blackcurrant, more burning and fruitier, with the tuberose, carnal and dense, offers an irresistible contrast between freshness and seduction. The olfactory journey in Quatre Iconic is an invitation to explore the deep layers of multifaceted femininity, evoking gigantic self-confidence, in addition to an aura of mystery. And although the tuberose note is a very pungent ingredient, the beauty of this composition exudes from the peru balsam with its aromatic and vanilla nuances, which intertwine in harmony, creating a sensorial portrait of refinement and luxury. As the fragrance evolves, the ambery effect envelops the skin in a long-lasting and enticing embrace, leaving a memorable impression wherever you go. When the base notes resolve to exude, the patchouli is warm and smooth, with light facets of dark chocolate. Quatre Iconic transcends the simple notion of a fragrance, becoming an extension of the personality, an olfactory signature that evokes different feelings, between the sophisticated and the lascivious. Furthermore, it is not limited only to the female audience, as the notes of pepper and vetiver create a spicy and dry aura, which makes the fragrance androgynous over time. It's floral, hot, sweet, wanton...all at the same time! Quatre Iconic Pour Femme is the olfactory personification of the person who is not limited to time or fashion but transcends trends, becoming an example. As I mentioned above, a scented bomb whose performance is absurd and addictive. For me, one of the biggest surprises launched in 2022 within the Prestige/Luxury segment. Simply iconic!

I decided to buy this fragrance after reading that it shares several notes with Black Orchid - a scent I know well and deeply admire, though I personally find it a little too much to wear regularly. I also came across comparisons with L’Interdit Rouge, which I enjoy for its gorgeous tuberose. These three fragrances are not identical, yet they clearly belong to the same olfactory family. The similarities are undeniable. But wow... what a fragrance. The opening is striking: ginger, pink pepper and mandarin surge forward and immediately set the tone. For a moment, you almost wonder whether you’ll be able to handle it. As for me - absolutely. The tuberose arrives quite early, almost playfully, weaving itself between the spicy top notes and binding them together. At first it carries a bubblegum-sweet, almost candy-like facet, but it soon darkens, becoming balsamic and resinous, which gives the composition depth rather than brightness. To my nose, there is also a subtle dark-chocolate nuance in the background - most likely coming from the patchouli. I suspect this is what sets it apart from L’Interdit Rouge: that faintly chocolaty facet in the drydown. Black Orchid Eau de Parfum feels darker, cooler and more earthy-green, with a dry, almost root-like spiciness, while Boucheron Quatre Iconic moves in a warmer, sweeter direction. This fragrance is chic beyond chic - pure luxury, almost sensual. I am absolutely thrilled with my purchase. Still, it is not a fragrance for everyone, nor one I would wear every day. Magnificent quality from Boucheron.

DARK TUBEROSE. I was instantly struck by the similarity to Black Orchid Tom Ford, which I've had since 2015. This isn't a clone or a dupe, but this scent is definitely inspired by Black Orchid Tom Ford. Opens with a warm-spicy burst of ginger, pink-pepper & mandarin, that deepens into the tuberose & peru-balsam heart accented by black-currant, all resting on an amber-patchouli and vetiver base. The overall effect is dark tuberose with soft-purple tones and some spiciness in the top notes. As it's drying down it gets richer, creamier with faint chocolate from patchouli, woody & earthy tones. Peru balsam here holds all the other notes together. Has fantastic performance for year round wear, but most will find this best suited to fall & winter nights. This just gets better and better as it ages in the bottle. It's a love for me. 10/10. Enjoy! Update 02/21/24: Wow this is getting so good! It's gotten sweeter and the chocolate from patchouli is coming out more now, along with the soft purples. The drydown is unbelievable. Love.

This is a gorgeous fragrance. Dense, opulent, sexy, but not a safe blind buy. Iconic flies far apart from the original to the point it shouldn't be a flanker. I get the comparison with Black Orchid and yes they are in the same ballpark but I couldn't mistake one for another. Whereas Black Orchid is rich, Truffled, milky, smoky, earthy and spicy, Quatre Iconic is fruity and sweet. Although they both have the same earthy and woodiness aspects, Tuberose and Orchid are very different flowers. Another thing I noticed is that ginger and pink pepper bring a mint feeling to Quatre that lasts from the opening to the heart, and it’s very remarkable to me. In summary as a stand-alone fragrance Quatre Iconic is a must-try if you like opulent and patchouli-forward scents. Updated: very similar to Marc Jacobs Perfect Intense. @deepgreenbeauty

Este perfume huele a dinero, alguien super sexy y misterioso, es empalagoso y llama demasiado la atención. Abre con la pimienta y la mandarina que no duran tanto, ya que lo que le sigue es una nota floral que no se percibe mucho por el peru balsamico que la vuelve super dulce mezcladose con el ambar que la vuelve aun mas dulce y avainillada, despues con el patchouli y el vetiver que le dan ese toque como herbal, amaderado y aunn mas dulce. Este perfume es una bomba balsamica se siente demasiado cozy y un poco floral. Dura y proyecta demasiado bien y es un aroma muy unico, que no te engañe que diga que es solo para mujeres ya que un hombre que se lo ponga tendra mas de un cumplido asegurado.
