What Do You Wind Up With When Two Star Noses Work On A Limited Budget?...
Miss Boucheron opens with a brief spray of bergamot citrus before a growing fruity pomegranate and raspberry accord joins a somewhat synthetic smelling rose and white musk tandem, with just the faintest whiff of underlying gentle pink pepper in the heart. As the fragrance enters its dry-down the rose and fruity accords both recede, revealing a slightly spicy woody base that combines with the remaining synthetic musk now acting as support. Projection is excellent and longevity is outstanding at well over 12 hours on skin.
I bought Miss Boucheron blind due to someone mentioning that it smelled very close to Le Boise by Ginestet, a fragrance that I enjoy but don't get great performance out of. Unfortunately, I see little resemblance between the two and Miss Boucheron is a *much* sweeter fruity floral concoction. The noses behind Miss Boucheron are a couple of the best out there, and while their raw material budget may have been limited (as the fragrance definitely has a very synthetic vibe throughout), their skill is quite evident and it is clear they did the absolute best they could with it. My favorite part of the development is the dry-down, as the slightly woody facets of the fragrance finally are revealed. The bottom line is that while I am not the target demographic for Miss Boucheron (as it definitely has a distinct feminine bent to my nose), I am not disappointed in this blind buy at all as it is quite the outstanding value at its under $30 a full bottle price online, earning a "very good" rating of 3.5 stars out of 5 outright.
