ChypreWhat does Boucheron (1988) (Eau de Parfum) smell like?
Its longevity is rated strong and its sillage good. Most voters pick autumn and winter, and it is suggested most often for evenings and nights out. It reads classic and clearly feminine.
It opens with orange blossom, apricot, mandarin orange and bergamot. In the heart, iris, tuberose and jasmine build a floral body. At the base, vanilla, amber, sandalwood and tonka bean settle it into a sweet, woody, powdery finish. Chloé Chloé (1975) and Hermès 24, Faubourg have a close profile.
