An inexpensive citrus that does its job.
Though Boucheron perfumes are still available, it is unclear who is making these perfumes now. The Boucheron website does not list any perfumes. The two Boucheron perfumes I know can easily be replaced by many other perfumes, so I am not really mourning for this house.
Boucheron Pour Homme EDT is everything that the notes tell you. The opening is an intense citrus, with the pungent green of bergamot dominating the sweetness of orange. The minor floral notes, if any, are too mild to make an impression. In a few hours, the bergamot and other citrus are joined by some other undefined sweet notes. I assume that this is the floral melange of carnation, rose, jasmine and others, listed as the middle notes. Once these notes fade, the base notes -musk, amber, sandalwood, tonka, benzoin etc - come to the foreground. However, the strong citrus personality pervades all throughout the life of this perfume on my skin. There is also some soapiness associated with this scent. Unfortunately, these qualities bring it closer to common barbershop colognes.
The performance of Boucheron EDP is excellent. The intense citrus at the beginning would label you as the cologne guy at least for the first few hours. The middle notes are strong on my skin for 6-8 hours. Even after twelve hours, I can get a strong whiff of this scent on my skin.
Is this perfume worth the cost? If you are looking for a strong citrus, Boucheron Pour Homme EDP at $29 at US grey market sellers is certainly a bargain. For me, Salvatore Ferragamo Pour Homme is a better, cheaper men’s summer fragrance, because of its fig leaf accord in the opening. I have had Boucheron for many years now, and seldom have I reached for it.
