Jaipur Homme (for men)

This refers to the EDP. Very traditional sillage,(like Old Spice) totally a different character to the wearer. It has a very autum feel within. Spicy and warm. Cinnamon and benzoin. Hot stuff, indeed! Not for you warm weather wearers. Its a heavy, wintry Oriental that last days! A word of caution: it initially burns my skin when applied. It is very concentrated, so take note. Hope that helps!

One of my top three fragrances. I love wearing Jaipur and it gets me tons of compliments from the opposite sex.

The citrus opening is one of the finest I've experienced. The lime and lemon really burst onto the scene. For me citrus is a real "pick-me-up", a mood enhancer, and the citrus in Jaipur is superbly crafted.

Though listed in the base notes, the benzoin does kick in after the opening. For me, that's a good thing. It provides a vanilla type essence and a slight powdery feel. Benzoin is a resin collected from cuts in the bark of the styrax tree of Southeast Asia. Thailand and Sumatra are the most common sources. It has been used in perfumery since the middle ages and is highly prized. Click on that ingredient in the pyramid and note the list of prestigious perfumers that incorporate benzoin into their creations.

The mid notes are very subtle to me. Perhaps because this fragrance is so well blended. I do detect a fabulous floral and cinnamon aura. In addition to the benzoin, tonka bean and patchouli stand out in the base notes.

I like to compliment Jaipur with a citrus type body mist on the chest shoulders and wrists. Lemongrass Sage or Citrus Basil work well. The body splash is very subtle but it invigorates and makes me feel very fresh and clean all day after my morning shower. In combination with the sweetness of the Jaipur, the results are just awesome.

It's all a matter of personal preference and opinion but I find Jaipur to be a daytime scent. For hot weather, the fresh version works well. Jaipur comes in EDT and EDP concentrations as well as a fresh (fraichure) version. I find the EDT to be sufficiently strong and long lasting. Three to four spritzes in the morning and Jaipur is still working for me through mid afternoon. I caution you not to overdo because Jaipur does project really well.

Maybe the best vanilla cologne for men. It is lovely, and I have tested just the EDT. Its lasting power is excellent and it smells great in both winter and summer if applied correctly. It is a gem of perfumery for sure. I want to have it as soon as possible.

I reviewed this fragrance yesterday at my perfume blog, the EAU de Parfum version and would like to add some comments here about this Boucheron. If I take the absolute impetuosity to mix the brands, Jaipur Homme is really a type of Shalimar of Boucheron( BUT only in the first citrusy notes, not more than it, after the start the fragrance is a benzoin based strong poison and I really sorry that has a benzoin explosion that explodes a headache)
This comparison with Shalimar is related to its opening characteristics and, in certain manner, by his classy style, powerfully enigmatic and oriental
In Jaipur Homme, it is clear that quick citrusy notes come with some floral cinamon spicieness , then it is involved by vanilla ambery base strenghtened by the benzoin. In Shalimar, lemon and bergamot before the powdery jasmine which later is warmed by vanilla, iris and amber. But they are very different and the similarity lasts just few seconds. Shalimar is wonderful, this EDP version is poisoned by benzoin.

In the case of Jaipur Homme, the start is very warm and sweet with an interesting addiction for the leading note cinamon which completely spicie this jewel fantasy. The citrus notes are fast, just a red carpet as the car door of this man would be opened and, then, he is there in front of all in a compeling way as the entrance of an elegant and sultry man, able to represent the most elegant man with the most expensive Boucheron gifts for a woman. He has charm and is well-succed, then he deserves some attention.

But...later...the high level of scented benzoin kills the fragrance until the drydown and it is a very upset experience here. Despite of I enjoy the start of the fragrance and the explosion of cinamon, the benzoim here gives me some headache as the benzoin of Pi. It is incredible my intolerance to this note in high concentrations, but
honestly? It is not my nose fault. I think the perfumer has to balance the Benzoin note. I have asked some heavy perfume wearers their opinions about exxagerated benzoin in perfumes and really this note is terrible when is very preponderant on the development. They also do not feel well.

Select the EDT or Fraicheur options.Escape from EDP version. I am not surprised that EDP is quite not found in the stores. I think it is out of line.

There seems to be an eau de parfum of this scent, has anyone tried it?

Chic fragrance for elegant man. It is sensual, without being appealing. It is memorable!
Ideal for determined men, whose personality knows how to conquer and to enchant. The fragrance is perfect!
The smell is sweet, virile and imponent.
Extraordinary lasting. The notes of cinnamon and vanilla drive crazy any one around of who are wearing it. Jaipur, for me, means a night of love and passion with the racket of rain falling in the roof, in the outside!

Jaipur Homme is so very, very inviting on the man...weak-in-the-knees delicious! I get bergamot and cinnamon mainly, with a hint of nutmeg, heliotrope and vanilla – not too sweet or gourmand though. Seems to be a bit of woods, amber and musk there too in the drydown to keep it warm and sexy. It's just, well... yummy! We both love it, and I rather like it on my skin too! I think I will be stealing it oft.

PS: This is for the EDT.

PPS: I gave the man a 50ml for our anniversary and he actually said this will be his signature scent. That this is what he wants to smell like...I can't tell you how good Jaipur is on him. Puurrrrr.

I have an affinity for oriental fragrances and this unique fragrance is in a league of it's own. It works well at the office or in the evening. Well balanced,sophisticated and formal. A must have!

I found a simple of this fragrance by chance lead me to discover the magic of it.I found it spicy and sweet and very warm,long lasting power is fair.the woody notes are not annoying at all.suitable for office or formal meetings as long as I'm wearing a blue or black formal coat.continuing this perfume in the names of fresh and fresh epicee was the prove that it's a very successful fragrance.

For me, this fragrance is almost the same as "Suivez-moi" from Fragonard, a french perfumer,that is to say, these two fragrances are very alike but the second one is less expensive and has a less beautiful bottle; at the end, the most important is how it smells !!!

I enjoy wearing this scent when I am in the mood for something citrusy, slighly sweet with a woodsy warm down (cedar).
