Boudoir (for women)
Designer: Vivienne Westwood Olfactive Group: Chypre FloralIt was designed by Martin Gras with an intention to create a fragrance that will make all men turn their heads after the woman that wears it when the smell wafts past them. The top notes are aldehydes, sweetly-fresh bergamot, hyacinth, and orange blossom.
The heart is sweet and opulent with jasmine, luscious rose, narcissus, carnation, orris root, cardamom and coriander. The base brings patchouli, warm and milky sandal wood, tobacco leaves, cinnamon and powdery soft vanilla.
The bottle was designed by Fabrice Legros. The top is made as a globe encircled by a ring, which symbolize the power of femininity.

There is a sweet bubblegum like top note that does a good job of masking the dirty, gritty underbelly of this frag, but not enough to drown it out completely. she is a devil wearing angel wings.
There is something strange yet compelling about her, something odd and if you sniff too hard you may not like what you find but the sillage is decadent and divine.
Warning ~ Extremely tenacious and long-lasting!

I can say now that this perfume is the most intriguing one that I have ever tried. And a complete delightful discovery...
First, it was like opening the door of the said Boudoir. The smell of rice powder, lipstick, feminine sweat, and even sex came to my nose. I was feeling like a voyeur and my thought was: “How can I really take possession of this perfume if first I feel like entering someone else’s very intimate world?” I should have guessed then that Boudoir just takes possession of you if it likes you...
After such a beginning, I was quite surprised with the following... the smell of Bazooka chewing-gum! Wow! It was like having entered into the Boudoir and talking directly to the woman who’s sitting there. She’s chewing gum and looking at a nice bouquet of flowers standing on her coffee table. These delicate flowers that I can smell trying to fight for first place with the chewing-gum scent.
Then the drydown is quite like the beginning plus the chewing-gum and flowers. It is where Boudoir really stands out with the mix of all its intimate and delicious smells. This is when Boudoir decides if it likes you or not, if it wants to be intimate or not with you. I was lucky enough to be chosen by Boudoir...

I buy them and stubbornly wear them because even my unsophisticated nose knows that there is some magic in there, but in the end, I am thrilled the day has ended and I can bathe and move on to a more comfortable and accessible scent.
Boudoir was my first, I really bought it from a habitual sense of rebellion - if its naughty, I felt I had to have it, additionally the "notes" seem wonderful.
I do not get the naughtiness and unwashed bits that others seem to get from Boudoir, however, if I focus on it, there's a definite feminine deodorant note that can slowly take over, so I try not to focus on it.
There's some monstrously generous sillage (I love monstrous sillage, by the way), but there's also a cloyingly annoying something sweet (and I love many sweet perfumes).
Its certainly an "interesting" scent but it isn't by any means likeable.
Men seem to love it, in my experience, it elicits tons of comments about how "good I smell".
In a way, I feel about Boudoir the way some women feel about other women whose horizontal mores are freer than their own: they don't like them and they feel uncomfortable around them, but deep down inside, they are curious and somewhat fascinated.
That's exactly what the uber-potent, oddly fascinating and yet vaguely repulsive fragrance that is Boudoir evokes in me: I find it hard to like, it makes me uncomfortable, and yet it also fascinates me.
I have the old amber colored juice, it has sillage for miles around even with a tiny spray and stays put overnight or even more.
Although it hasn't happened in 7 years, I am confident that one day my sense of smell will grow up and Boudoir and I will be friends.




A classic.


Not going to be one for me.

Girl kiss the man with her red lips, long curly hairs falling on white back and he take her in one's arms. In room is sultry and hot, in air is rising smell of Boudoir, like mist rising over the lake.
Bottle is richly ornamented, beautiful! Frangrance... I love it! Floral, sweet but very sophisticated, one of its kind! Indescribably permanent!


This perfume smells exactly as if one just had sex! :)
Nevertheless, I'm going to wear it just because I like it. I like the spicy notes, and the hint of tobacco.
This plays like Rachmaninoff; it's a complicated perfume.


Lucky you that can wear it. I can only look at the pretty bottle and having nightmares about how it will break in my boudoir and it will smell like Boudoir forever in there.

A little soapy....and very different.


I've tried it once and I WANT IT!

But i've been wearing it for days now! I think we became friends after all :)

First of all, it doesn't have that pink colour i loved...
The perfume is not bad, but in the beginning it really smells like the soap "Dove", and i find the dry down very similar to "Anïs Anïs" by Cacharel, but this one is softer.
I like it, but maybee my hopes were to high? Maybee it's a "developer"?
Longlasting.




When you first spray it, yes, there are some heavy flowers and aldehydes, but nothing alarming.
Then you innocently walk away (it's taking place in the mall), minding your own business, unaware of the yuckiness which is about to begin.
And after a while, you start noticing 'the smell'.
It smells of a lady who hasn't washed in a while, but who has used a lot of cheap drugstore perfume instead, and the 'fishy' note is very prominent too.
When you finally realize it's coming from YOU, you wrap your wrist in a plastic bag and run to the nearest bathroom to wash it off. But it never comes off. The staying power is definitely its greatest asset.

It appears that there are two colors of juice -- pink and dark orange. I saw a review on MakeUpAlley.com that someone bought a new bottle pink, and as it aged, it darkened to dark orange. So the color of the juice may not reflect different formulations, but simply oxidation with time.

i was just about to ask you to give some comment on this fragrance. there are some other that you have in your wardrobe that I would love to hear about, like mitsouko, for example, and shalimar.
i want it! :)
