This is a fragrance that you have to try more than one time because it's not that simple and foolish as it sounds from the first time you wear. I did this mistake and was very grumpy the first time i reviewed it. Yes, it's modern and young and pleasant. But it's not a silly one. It's fair to say that it's not linked with Guerlain signature or traditions, so if you are that kind of Guerlain diehard fan, the chances are that you'll not like it. If not, give a try in this play of Guerlain on the Torrid Kiss. It's a gourmand, more literal and less cerebral, that tricks you into thinking "Oh, I'm just a silly fruity fragrance!". It smells like sugarish berries at the opening, but the citrus aromas cut part of the sweetness. My favorite part of this sexy fragrance is the floral heart. If you pay attention on it you'll see a very, very good orange flower on it with a sexy jasmine. They'll not always show, it's more like a hide and seek game. The orange flower has that complex and interesting aroma of sugary sweet nuances over green and slightly rubbish ones. The jasmine, while clean, has its dirtiness very subtle - this lady whisper her dark side on your ears. The base is also interesting too, because somedays it's more woody, others more musky, others more sweet and camphorated. This is a fragrance that i have wore sometimes and never got the same aroma on me, it seems to trick you, to dare you understand and goes beyond the cover, the superficial image.

Warm marshmallow message
"Boisé Torride" is an Eau de Parfum from the "Les Elixir Charnel" series .
The name is a bit misleading, since the fragrance is not very woody. It resembles a refined version of a typical "Floriental" and would certainly appeal to a much larger audience if its price was lower. 180 € for 75 ml of such a fragrance are too much. The composition dating back to 2009 cannot be called innovative, nevertheless the scent is quite appealing and above all "hot" – in the sense of "sexy". The fragrance is governed by sweet and "cosy" notes. Guerlain mentions the component "marshmallow", combined with orange blossom, jasmine, white musk and cedarwood/patchouli. The result is a sensual fragrance that points into the gourmand direction. I think I can smell some ethylmaltol here, one of the main ingredients of “Angel". As I said before, "Boisé Torride" could make a great mainstream perfume with its trendy "marshmallow-message” .
