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.

Rivals to Pour Monsieur? Maybe.
Unlike Jaipur, Boucheron PH is a more adequate to heat fresh, citrus fragrance.

It is opposed to the oriental composition of Jaipur.

Although fresh with an excellent opening with verbena and lemon, its drydown reveals itself slightly oriental, but running any sweetness.

The base notes are light and well balanced, with possibly feel a little incense and woods in the background.

Definivamente a classic fragrance that reaches the same audience of Chanel Pour Monsieur, distinguishing this by having less moss.

Duration is excellent, though with little projection.

A classy fragrance for special events
This fragrance smells wonderfully to me and to many people but not to everybody. It is not an all-rounder that will please everybody.

Nevertheless, it's a very good fragrance with a citrus opening (more verbena than lemon), then a mix of floral and woody notes, with a touch of incense and benzoin in the background.

Sillage and longevity are good with the EDT and excellent with the EDP.

I think the incense and benzoin notes explain why some people don't like it, but it's part of its DNA. It's a wonderful fragrance for a dinner in the evening.

Pizza with perfume
The other day my loved one was craving a pizza and since I was tired of cooking because of the unearthly hot (actually it should be hellish) temperatures, I complied with his request by ordering one from the nearby pizzeria by phone, with the announcement that I wanted to pick it up in half an hour.

Now, what's all this pompous drivel and what does Boucheron pour Homme have to do with pizza, you may ask? That's right, NOTHING at all.

It just so happened that I still had some BpH left in the bottle that day and was wearing it when the pizza was ready to be picked up.
The store owner smiled at me in a friendly manner, handed me the box and, after taking the money, said: "You have a really great fragrance, may I ask what it is?"
I was delighted and answered: "Boucheron pour homme"

"Ah, so!" was the succinct reply. So he probably didn't know it, but what the heck, I left the store elated that the fragrance had been noticed, because I thought it might be a fleeting whiff, as you don't smell it for very long yourself.

As it is a rather tart, citrusy fragrance, in which - in my opinion - the top notes predominate: Verbena, lemon, bergamot, mandarin and so on, I thought you would only smell the whole thing fleetingly, but there are still some floral nuances, and the woody end, which is also not to be sneezed at, underlines the very fine character of the incredibly fragrant eau de parfum.
Its presence really only comes into its own in summer, when temperatures are well above the 30 mark, and this has been the case several times in the past few days.

So my dears, go for the bottle, it is really cheap to buy and smells (even if you don't notice it yourself) for a very long time.

Floral like 1881, barbershop like Azzaro Pour Homme, with a sexy skin-like balminess wrapped in dazzling verbena. Magnificent soapy gem.
