Guerlain Boisé Torride is a floral, sweet fragrance whose fruity, gourmand and spicy sides are grounded by a woody base, made for women and leaning from spring through winter.
Skunky's take: A floral hello, my nose just bloomed.

PowderyWhat does Boisé Torride smell like?
The top is mandarin orange, bergamot, rosemary and pink pepper, so it opens both citrusy and spicy. In the heart, orange blossom, marshmallow and jasmine sweeten the scent and add a floral, powdery softness. White musk, cedar and patchouli leave a warm, woody finish.
Longevity is rated good and sillage moderate. Most voters pick fall and spring, with evening and daily wear leading, and half call it feminine. It has been discontinued. Yves Rocher Quelques Notes d'Amour and Yves Saint Laurent Black Opium have a close profile.
