PowderyWhat does Boudoir (Eau de Parfum) smell like?
It opens with orange blossom, hyacinth and bergamot lifted by aldehydes; in the heart rose, jasmine, narcissus and orris root build a floral, powdery core, with carnation and cardamom adding spice. In the base vanilla and sandalwood give a sweet, woody warmth, while cinnamon and patchouli deepen the oriental side.
Longevity is rated very strong and sillage strong. Most voters pick autumn and winter, and evening or a night out; most see it as feminine and classic. Guerlain Samsara (Eau de Parfum) and Emanuel Ungaro Diva (Eau de Toilette) have a close profile.
