Billionaire Boyfriend opens with fruity and zesty accords of bergamot and tangerine and lush green leaves. The heart of the fragrance is composed of sensual black jasmine, powerful velvet orchid, feminine gardenia and patchouli flower, while the base is constructed around golden amber notes. Billionaire Boyfriend was launched in 2012.

Flirty cheap floral. Goes to show billionaires have no taste at all.
pure synthetic, headache-inducing dry-down. a definite smell of a smoky, old las vegas casino. The advertisement speaks for itself. GO figure!
I rec a sample, and I was expecting not to like it because the notes
made it seem as it would be to 'heavy 'and cause a headache .
I was really surprised I do like it.
It is fresh and not to floral for me.
I want it :) despite the name which I find silly .
I love the original Boyfriend scent. It has a delicious bonfire/woodsmoke feel that reminds me very much of autumn. Billionaire Boyfriend isn’t so much a success in my opinion. I don’t despise it, but I don’t find anything stand-out about it. It’s quite a bit flatter and linear, lacking the depth that Boyfriend has in it’s resiny sweet-woody character.
Billionaire Boyfriend is a thick jasmine and gardenia scent, with a sharply green note. The entire duration of this fragrance reminds me somewhat of the drydown of Bvlgari Jasmin Noir, albeit a little synthetic in comparison. There is a similar unisex-jasmine feel with this one, but Jasmin Noir is darker, creamier, and warmer in comparison. Overall BB is less sweet and less predictable than many celebrity scents, however it's not one I would purchase. Jasmin Noir is a better rendition of a thick jasmine-gardenia, and it has some lovely hints of almond and licorice that BB does not.
As a side note, what was Kate Walsh thinking with this embarrassing marketing and packaging? The original Boyfriend concept was silly…but this one is 10 times worse. With both Kate Walsh's perfumes, there seems to be a major discord between the scent itself and the marketing that goes along with it. It seems to be barking up the wrong tree.
I like this one better than Boyfriend. That one was a little heavy for my taste. Billionaire Boyfriend is much fresher and a lot more floral and feminine but still has enough oomph to make it warm and sexy. This one also has a much more modern feel to it. Thanks to the fresh florals, I can wear this one during warmer weather unlike the original one.
I didn't like Boyfriend and I don't like Billionaire Boyfriend either. These scents really don't have feminine qualities to them and in Billionaire Boyfriend I detect a heavy leather note that I dislike.

I have the purse size roller ball oil, and I like it a lot! It's a soft, sweet, kind of "oily" gardenia/orchid scent. No big silage, stays close to skin, average lasting power. Very nice! Personally I find it charming, even though no innovative or original in any way. Wearable and for sure will not offend anyone. I have never tested the original Boyfriend, but this one is lovely and warm.
When I first sprayed this on, I really liked it. It was warm and woody, and the gardenia didn't feel too dominant. There was even a rubbery note, but I was able to overlook it due to what felt like an effortless synergy between the orchid, gardenia, amber, and patchouli. Unfortunately, the more time passed, the more the gardenia began to take over and something in this scent started to give me a headache. I envy those who have the right chemistry for it, but for now, I will settle for being in love with the original Boyfriend.
I really like this scent. I have found it to have great lasting power and a very pleasant scent. I am not too crazy about the initial scent, I find it too flowery for what I was looking for, but it quickly dries down to a scent I love. I have gotten many compliments on it and find that it is slowly becoming my go-to-perfume.
I don't get any freshness at the top but I get a lot of woody jasmine and a really really nice amber. There is a little bit of patchouli and wood from the original in here, and the drydown is a little powdery tho. This Billionaire Boyfriend is not as unisex as the Original as it has more floral action going on. It doesn't seem too heavy either. It should appeal more to a lot of ladies out there.
Ok , nice scent , like original boyfriend better , it has no lasting power ! It's floral lil powdery, amber scent, ppl say it's strong ? Not by a long shot , unless u are close to teen age but as you age your body needs more stronger scents cause your oils in your skin change I think , its just a nice scent and for age group 30 plus I think might be fond of it !ol
This smells like a calmer properly trained Black Orchid. I like this. I own Black Orchid and at one time it was in my top five scents. But after a while Black Orchid's strength was a little too pushy for me, so I've given it a break for a while. So if Billionaire Boyfriend is a tamed Black Orchid it should be perfect, right? Not quite. I can't decide if it has been tamed or beaten into submission.
Because I couldn't decide, I went ahead and bought the rollerball instead of committing to a bottle. The oil is sweet with bursts of gardenia and orchid. The tangerine and the lime over lightly green notes provide a base that keeps it from becoming too heady. The hint of jasmine makes it just a stitch naughty. Light, pretty, white florally sweet. I don't think it does anything to really distinguish itself, but it stands well on its own. This is a nice "pretty girl" perfume.
If this review sounds negative, it's not. I just LOVED Boyfriend, so I'll admit I was a little disappointed with this. Still I give it a thumbs up.
leather?i smell leather have not tried on skin yet tho..
Well on first spray I smell nail polish remover...weird...But it dries down a little better.
This one's nice. I like it a lot but it doesn't beat the original. I'll get the rollerball but that's all I'll ever need. : )
I definitely smelled the white floral up top mixed with Orchid. I liked that the it was not straight white floral on the top notes, as I am not a straight white floral kind of girl. The floral lingered for about an hour then dry down to amber and orange. The dry down reminded me of Burberry Brit, but nothing in the top notes are Burberry Brit.
I liked it, but not one I would buy. I did make my feel feminine, I just have others that I like more.
Fragrances fade on me quickly and this one was average at 4 hours.
I have not tried Boyfriend yet, but I will.
EDIT: I have now tried Boyfriend. I like the Boyfriend better than Billionaire, but I will revisit this fragrance in spring. Boyfriend was so great on me and long lasting that Billionaire is certainly one I will try again and may buy for summer.
on me,--- a masculine white diamonds. And I do detect a hint of burnt rubber.
Smells like the inside of a car. I didn't like this at all and I am a fan of Boyfriend. I did not pick up floral notes, mostly combinations of leather and laundry. The bottle is also not as clever or enticing as the makers intended. Overall, it misses the mark and falls short of the potential. I'd rather her flankers consist of names of men with individualistic scent compositions and not Juicy Couture knock offs.
