For a long time I was not interested in oriental fragrances, until I met Boucheron Jaipur.

It is warm and sweet. The "citrus" opening is discreet, then the spices (cinnamon !) and resin are durably in the foreground without being agressive. There is a background of floral and woody notes. It is oriental but without "pepper", it remains highly civilized (Jaipur, not the jungle).

Longevity and sillage are really good in the EDT and excellent in the EDP.

If you want something original for next Fall and Winter, try this one.
It will warm you up !

I had it when it was released (I was a teenager) and always returned to it.

It begins with lavender, fruity and floral notes, patchouli, with a background of vanilla, amber and cedar. Then the opening notes slowly decrease and the background of vanilla-amber-cedar take center stage. It's soft and sweet but not too much. Rather unisexe.

To me it's a marvellous classical aromatic woody, very well-balanced. The sillage and longevity are very good with the EDP version, much less with the EDT.

It's the mainstay of my small collection. Lalique make other interesting fragrances you can try such as Encre Noire. But this one is my favorite.
