Heroes

Franck Boclet · 2016

Floral · Green · Sweet

Franck Boclet Heroes is a unisex scent that pairs a floral, green and woody character with sweet vanilla and a smoky, earthy edge. Heroes lasts well and projects well, though these impressions rest on only a few votes. No clear lean towards a particular season or occasion shows up. Being unisex, it suits both men and women. The top opens with coconut, mugwort and bergamot. In the heart, geranium, ylang-ylang, cedarwood, sandalwood and patchouli build a woody base. Vanilla and tonka bean sweeten the base, adding a powdery, resinous softness. Réminiscence Patchouli (Eau de Toilette) and Harry Lehmann Verité have a close profile.

Be My Wife

6.4

Franck Boclet · 2019

Fresh · Citrus · Floral

Franck Boclet Be My Wife is a fresh, green-leaning women's fragrance that sets fruit beside flowers. Its longevity and sillage both sit at a moderate level, though the number of ratings is small, so that reading is tentative. It is sold as a women's fragrance. The top is spearmint, rosemary, mandarin orange and bergamot, bright and citrusy. The heart brings lilac, violet and rose for a soft floral touch, and the base turns fruity with green apple, pineapple and raspberry. Synthetic, spicy and woody tones stay in the background. Creed Aventus for Her and Téo Cabanel Hegoa have a close profile.

Crime

7.8

Franck Boclet · 2018

Sweet · Gourmand · Woody

Franck Boclet Crime is a unisex scent that sets a sweet, gourmand character against a woody, smoky and leathery base. It opens with dark chocolate and bread; heading into the heart, tonka bean, oud, leather and heliotrope take over. The base holds oud, sandalwood, cedar and amber, so the sweetness settles into an earthy, animal warmth. Longevity is rated good and sillage moderate, so it is strong on the skin without filling the room, though the vote count is small. Its profile sits comfortably on both men and women. Parfums de Marly Kuhuyan and Tom Ford Tobacco Oud Intense have a close profile.

Geranium

7.3

Franck Boclet · 2017

Fresh · Citrus · Floral

Franck Boclet Geranium is a fresh, citrusy floral with a green, lightly powdery character, made for both women and men. Its longevity is rated strong and its sillage good, though only a few people have voted, so those ratings are tentative. The fresh, green character keeps it close to an easy everyday scent. Lime, grapefruit and lavender open it with a bright lift. At the heart, geranium, orange blossom and heliotrope bring a soft floral body. The base of musk, sandalwood and vanilla sweetens it and dries down warm and powdery, with a trace of spice and chypre in the background.

Orchid

7.8

Franck Boclet · 2023

Floral · Fruity · Sweet

The top pairs Williams pear and neroli, giving a fruity brightness and a luminous floral edge. In the heart, vanilla, Egyptian jasmine absolute and orange blossom absolute turn the scent creamy and gourmand. The base of orris butter, musk and ambroxan sets a soft, powdery ground, while spicy and faintly smoky touches stay in the background. Voters rate its longevity and sillage as good, though the number of votes is small, so these ratings are tentative. Its floral, sweet profile suits both men and women. Acqua di Parma Vaniglia (Eau de Parfum) and Nicolaï Kiss Me Intense have a close profile.

Angie

7.2

Franck Boclet · 2016

Floral · Fruity · Sweet

Franck Boclet Angie is a unisex scent that sets the milky, green side of fig on a sweet, creamy base. Angie's longevity and sillage are rated as good, though the vote count is small, so that impression is tentative. There are no season or occasion votes to point it toward a particular use. It reads as neither clearly masculine nor feminine. Dried fig, fig leaf and fig milk lead, pairing fruity sweetness with a green, softly milky edge. In the heart, Virginia cedar and sandalwood form a woody spine. Musk, amber and vanilla then carry it into a powdery, creamy, gourmand warmth, with resinous and earthy tones staying in the background. Initio Blessed Baraka and Xerjoff White on White have a close profile.

Married

6.9

Franck Boclet · 2019

Citrus · Floral · Sweet

Franck Boclet Married is a women's perfume that joins a citrus and floral opening to a sweet, powdery, woody base. Longevity and sillage are both rated good, though only a few people have voted, so that reading is tentative. It is positioned as feminine, and there is no clear lean towards a season or occasion. The top notes of lemon, orange and bergamot give it a fresh start. In the heart, orange blossom, rose, lilac, violet and galbanum build a creamy, powdery floral. In the base, vanilla, amber, cedar, leather and sandalwood settle it into a sweet, spicy, woody finish. Joop! Le Bain and Alain Delon Lyra have a close profile.

Absolute Shadow

7.3

Franck Boclet · 2024

Floral · Sweet · Gourmand

Franck Boclet Absolute Shadow is a sweet, creamy and powdery gourmand floral for men and women alike. Almond leads the opening, and almond blossom and orange blossom give the heart a soft floral touch. The base brings vanilla, tonka bean, sandalwood and musk, and the scent settles into a creamy sweetness with a woody, powdery warmth. Spicy and oriental touches keep that sweetness from reading as plain confection. Jeanne Arthes Guipure & Silk and Acca Kappa Vaniglia Fior di Mandorlo have a close profile.

Woodstock

8.2

Franck Boclet · 2019

Floral · Fruity · Sweet

In the base, patchouli, sandalwood and cedarwood give it a woody, creamy texture, with the oriental side slowly coming forward.
