B by Boucheron

rithacha

B should be recategorized - it is definitely a fruity floral to my nose! Incredibly creamy and sweet pitted fruits, jammy and soft. Peach fuzz rubbing against the skin like a purr. Luxurious and well-blended, the layers of fruit peel away into a thick floral heart. The woods and spices are quite subdued, and the overall impression is just that of Soft flowers. The basenotes lie close to the skin in a sweet ambery-musky blanket.

B is definitely not a statement perfume, and the golden advertising is a little misleading. It's a sweet skin scent, a little coy and sex-kitten-ish, but not terribly unique. Even so, you can't deny that it is well done.

I really dislike the topnotes of Boucheron B. The first time I wore it, they completely put me off the scent for a few weeks. I recently gave it another try, fearing I had dismissed a possibly wonderful scent too harshly.

Those loud, screechy top notes are still there, discordant as ever (fruits! pepper! too much!), but if I wait about an hour, a lovely (albeit fairly unoriginal) floral woody musk emerges. This phase is much more to my liking, and it lasts well on my skin. B becomes soft, warm, slightly sweet and very comforting in the dry-down. It's almost a skin scent at this point, with minimal sillage.

Given the unpleasant top notes, and the minimal sillage on the phase of the fragrance that suits me most, I don't plan to purchase a full bottle. There are other Boucheron's and Floral Woody Musks that I like better.

Elegant and classy, but nothing exciting. Its generic elegance. Nothing exciting or unique about this one.

This is by no means memorable,but it is wearable.
I enjoy the osmanthus in it.
I also find this scent slightly masculine which is strange for a boucheron launch.
Its "base" is built on pepper notes(that's the only spice i can detect)wich is also interesting since pepper usually sparkles in the opening of compositions.

I like the top notes. The drydown is a bit too spicey for me. A very classic scent though.

This scent is a real treasure in the oriental perfume family. It is made with mainly natural ingredients which is why it is quite high priced. In contrary to so many other orientals which are too overwhelming or heavy to wear them on a daily basis, 'B' Boucheron stays close to the skin and you can sniff the changes from the top note to heart note and base note while you are wearing it. This perfume is a positive exception from all the linear and boring scents which are released nowadays. Highly recommended!

This fragrance reminds me of Cartiers Délices. Not exactly the same, but it does resemble Délices, in my opinion.
I like it, it's a rich, warm perfume, suitable for day and night.

This fragnance is one of my favorites. The design of the bottle is very elegance, also the fragnance itself. I really adore the smell, however, it's not a long lasting fragnance (on my skin). So pity...

I absolutely adore this perfume, it has to be at the top of my BUY list, not only because it makes me feel classy, elegant & sophisticated but because it is not made for common tastes. You have to enjoy the deep saldalwood, apricot and patchuli in it and embrace the feeling. Everyone has complimented me when I wear it because nobody could ever be annoyed by it. Men love it!!! It is a must!

this is average and I think when the company was making this new scent,they were thinking of making an average perfume for everybody and everyday use.
that's the positive point of this perfume.it has everything with an average amount in it.it's not old fashioned,but it's not modern neither.
and yes,the bottle is like hugo XX,but that's the whole similarity.I don't go crazy for the bottle,nor for the fragrance inside.but it's ok.
about the notes,the only thing I really adore is apricot and I can get it.the others are just like a mixture of flowers with patchouli and sandalwood.
I love "Ursula Wandel" fragrances,but simply this one is an average perfume.what I can suggest is that if you ever wanted to buy a perfume as a gift for somebody and you didn't know about her tastes,buy this one.no body can hate it(though it's unlike that somebody fell in love with it too!)

Yech! Someone gave it me, nice thought, but this smells to me like inside a wardrobe of old costumes- quite disgusting.

This one is floral, classic and kinda creamy. It reminds me of a soft, beige, cashmere sweater :) It's a very warm scent. It lasts long.

I consider that this perfume is absolute feminine,special and warm.It stays on for a long time.It suits every special occasion in your life and stays in for a long time.It is a real chemistry between this perfume and my body.

Mitsouko

Beautiful, classic, floral - woody smell. In B felt luxury, but not ostentatious. In it nothing irritating, needless. Jeweler precision and beautiful. Though not surprises innovatory, B very pleases me.

GOOD PERFUME,BUT NO EXCELLENT.FROM BOUCHERON I PREFER TROUBLE.

A very well done delicate floral, as expected from Boucheron. The bottle is quite simple, and yes, it does look like Hugo Boss XX.
As lovely as it may be, I wouldn't put it high in my "to buy" list, It's just not that much interesting.

I received a sample of this yesterday at my local perfumery. It is quite an expensive perfume (EUR 77,- for 30 ml EDP). The bottle is absolutely beautiful: modern and stylisch with gold and amerald green. The scent itself is very classy as well but I find it too overwhelming (just a little spritz and everyone will notice you!). There are no top- middle or basenotes here. The scent remains more or less the same from start to drydown. It becomes just a bit softer after an hour or so. It smells warm, sweet and woody. I do not get spices really. It instantly reminded me of Chaumet (I used to wear years ago) but this is one much more powerful. Not something I would wear.
