A Clean and Soapy Fragrance

It's a great scent , A Timeless Classic, Elegant, Classy and Clean. A bit mature but it smells so good and very pleasant. If you like 1881 Cerruti EDT, you will like this one. It opens up with like fresh soapy citrusy, green notes and floral notes in the background then dry down is green woody. This perfume has a masterful and complex composition,perfect for the spring, summer and fall. I really enjoy it and I love Boucheron Pour Homme EDT for Men, I'm so happy that I have it in my collection. The art of bottle design is very beautiful.
Two Thumbs Up.
Bravo Boucheron !

Woody Citrus or Faux Fougère?

Even though it’s a woody citrus, I read Boucheron pour Homme as a faux fougère.
This is mainly due to the role played by bergamot.
Bergamot has a citrus side, and a woody orange-peel side, which - in the Eau de Toilette version - underpins the long citrus accord like a trombone in the brass section.
Bergamot has an aromatic side as well, which is related to lavender; both contain large amounts of linalool and linalyl acetate, and are olfactory cousins.
They are two of the three pillars of the Fougère, as well as being commonly used in the (citrus) Eau de Cologne.

The fougère side of BpH (which is boosted by a floral heart) adds complexity to what would otherwise be a straight-up woody citrus (with sandal and vetiver in the base). But despite the fougère side, BpH has a brightness and formality that feels too rigid for my taste. It takes ages for the fresh and cool citrus to calm down, and it never really goes away (on cloth, I don't wear on skin anymore). Perhaps more lavender & floral, and less bergamot & citrus would have made for a softer more wearable balance.

This is an assessment of a vintage miniature, which feels more consequential that a full bottle I recently tried; but without comparing them head to head that’s just a feeling. The designs of the FB and the mini are different and it would be reasonable to assume the juice was different too.
As two FB’s were in a clearance drive, and the SA told me the suppliers won’t take them back, it looks like there may be a change coming.

Classy suit and tie!

This opens with an excellent soapy citrus/bergamot that is classy, powdery and mature but not too old-school. In comes the lavender and basil to smoothen it out and vetiver plus juniper to add some freshness, like gin and tonic. The rose is well blended into the background and never takes frontseat, making sure it stays masculine. All the notes are flawlessly blended to perfection and the drydown with sandalwood and powdery lemon may seem like leftovers from a pre-2000 powerhouse, but it works great for me. After all this scent has 30 years on it’s back.

It’s rich elegant and long lasting. I am not a big fan of Habit Rouge, but this is I how I would love it to have smelled with more citrus, less rose and still stylish. Kinda reminds me of a Chanel perfume, could be the brother of the classic pour Monsieur.

Is it a citrus, chypre or aromatic ?? Hard to tell, due to the great blending. Overall a woody citrus and lemon verbena that is great for work, office and formal settings. Surely wouldn’t recommend it as a blind buy, but if you have a certain degree of interest in men’s perfumery, this is a MUST try.
