Let fat women be around me!

My last comment before the Düsseldorfer Duftstars (promised!) is also my 2nd to this fragrance, which I don't love as much anymore as shortly after its launch. At that time I did nothing good for my environment, because I used it gladly, often and in high doses...and found it incredibly sexy. So was my lover at the time, by the way. Today - probably because of the November weather in May - I suddenly felt like smelling the vintage boudoir (still the one with the metal lid) again.
But the seven years are probably long gone. I mean the 7-year life-age cycle, which is said to bring about a change. As far as Boudoir is concerned, I can hardly comprehend my obsession with it at the time.
In the meantime I have experienced some anecdotes with and through him, and one of them has remained especially in my memory: I came into conversation with a good-humoured, attractive, albeit rather curvy girl (40+) and of course it was about fragrances. She loved Boudoir as much as I did and put up the thesis that he was made for "full women". SizeZero is not suitable for this firecracker. It only goes with colorful Rubens women. Over the next few years, I realized there was something to it. Mollies love him, asparagus rather less. Pale gray hunger hooks loathe him. Is that what Madame Westwood wanted? I don't know.
My old boudoir has not changed imho, it is warm, powdery, sweet and heavy. Cinnamon and orange blossom play leading roles. It lasts a day or two and you can probably still smell it from the moon. But I guess I've fallen in love...

PURE SENSUALITY

Boudoir is the fragrance that has accompanied me through my Sturm und Drangzeit with which I associate soooo many beautiful memories, which for me eroticism, power and sensuality radiates like no other fragrance, floral / powdery just beautiful......

A durability has this fragrance for hours with every movement rises a little of this fragrance in the nose, when woman enters a room she is simply perceptible there.....

As the name suggests the scent would fit well in Paris, the Moulin Rouge and their BOUDOIRS of the 18th century....

Truly one or the most beautiful fragrance to ever hit the market.
Sadly, it's not really available anymore or only with difficulty....

Dont f**k with me or self-confident, sexy and in your face

Finally I own the pink water again! Today was a good (perfume) day for me, because I bought 50 ml Boudoir for an incredible 27.27€ in a drugstore. JubileeJubilee.♡

So: Boudoir is certainly not of the pleasing variety . Either you love him or you hate him... In between there is little.
About the Stilage:
BOUDOIR comes out of the bottle with such a WUMS that it literally takes your breath away. This fragrance is really easy to overdose... It is best not to push the atomizer head completely through and never come up with the idea of applying a second spray. No, really never! Unless, of course, there is a need to be smelled and then seen for the next 8 to 10 hours! The durability of the fragrance is really overwhelming. On my skin it is still perceptible after showering and lasts easily 2 days.
I have to admit that I'm not yet a big fan for the first half hour after spraying this fragrance on (really well dosed) - that's the only flaw in this fragrance!
In the beginning it is somehow herbaceous, very smoky, little sweet with lots of carnation and patchouli. What comes after that, however, becomes more and more delicious! So it's worth it to hang on. The fragrance remains oriental, but becomes softer, more vanilla and is incredibly warm. He's completely wrapping the wearer up. In the process, the very smoky components recede in favour of vanilla, cinnamon and sandalwood. BOUDOIR is exciting, direct, but also makes the wearer somehow unapproachable and mysterious. Whether old or young, thick or thin, big or small, black, brunette, blond or red: This fragrance suits every self-confident woman who knows what she wants, likes to attract attention and doesn't care what others think about her. BOUDOIR is sexy, but not in a cheap way, but a rather unapproachable, almost arrogant way.

Boudoir - old acquaintance

In the younger years as an old version my favourite before I discovered Addict. Many years later I tested it again in the perfumery: oha! It doesn't smell like my old boudoir anymore...nene, I don't like it anymore! So this fragrance remained great in my memory and I definitely didn't want the reformulated version. Never Ever! The days I got a promotional email, see there, Boudoir 50ml at 24.- ... i bought. I sprayed. I sniffed. I sank into a warm, deep cloud: powdery, sexy, I cannot perceive the individual elements of the scent pyramid. But I flashed. Nose constantly on my wrist, it smells sooo good...I feel sexy, beautiful, irresistible, sensual, in good hands! I feel warmly wrapped up in this fragrance, which becomes more and more beautiful. Why years ago the test of the new version did not convince me, I have no idea why...
In the current situation, I rarely go out, I'm on my own. Enjoy that too, actually And wear Boudoir for 3 days, a sprayer after a shower, just for me, because I feel so comfortable with it. On the couch, a good book, a glass of wine, wrapped in soft cashmere and in this fragrance that feels like warm silk lying on my skin

Out of time - out of place

For me, a "boudoir" is a lady's room, a retreat, warm and cosy, with a large dressing table and coat stands. And this fragrance fits the theme perfectly: warm, feminine, powdery, a little pompous, but more suitable for hours of retreat. No scent of a woman ripper, rather something to cuddle up with.
When "Boudoir" moved in with me, it didn't fit in with the times: what young woman had a room at the end of the 90s that would pass for a boudoir. The term has been outdated for decades. And also the fragrance itself was already rather old-fashioned at that time. In the late '90s, a fragrance with aldehydes... rather not mainstream. Also otherwise the smell was rather conspicuous - body near was something else.
I already liked the perfume - despite the aldehydes at the beginning. Nevertheless, I rarely wore it because I hardly saw the right opportunity for it. As a young woman, I was more interested in going out than in retreating.
In nostalgic moments I still like to think of the light amber-coloured liquid - no comparison to today's pink content. Today "Boudoir" as a winter scent would perhaps suit me quite well - perhaps... But it is probably even further out of time and space today than in the late 1990s.
