Boudoir (for women)

0_o

Very soapy... Good soap though, but still... soap. After a while (an hour or longer) it becomes softer and brighter, more flowery. I don't smell any spices, I do smell a little bit of vanilla, but I can't detect the other base notes. It's a nice scent but not what I expected, I do keep sniffing my wrists though ;) It has a great staying power.

This perfume is extravagant in every way. It's name is special, bottle is specific and the fragrance is the same! Very interesting proposition.
I've tried it once and I WANT IT!

In the beginning, i was not impressed.
But i've been wearing it for days now! I think we became friends after all :)

An absolute must-have and a great purchase! Great aroma, great bottle! Seductive feminity, lucious and sexy floral composition ! I bought it without even smelling it but it is one of my most faves together with Angel, Thierry Mugler.

I have it from two day and I can tell it is amazing! Its smell is so unusual and sexy, I didn't have such a perfume before. Great! I recommend it!

In Sweden, this is not for sale in any store i've visited. I fell in love with the bottle when i saw it here on this site, and all of you spoke so well about it so i bought it!
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.

I find this pure feminity in a bottle...! Really love it! A very special, warm and soft floral. But I have to say, it really had to grow on me. The first time I ever smelled it I could not really stand it as it seemed too strong for me to wear. Kept trying my sample for some weeks (I could not forget about it). Each time I have it on my wrist I cannot stop sniffing. Now I'm sort of 'hooked' on it. Staying power is extraordinary; I can still smell it on my skin after 24 hours! Will certently ask for a bottle for Christmas....!

Wild, with strong personality, fascinating, captivating, enigmatic, it's the smell of passionately love itself.

I absolutely love this fragrance!I can smell dried plums, vanilla and cinnamon on my skin, mixed with some oriental spices. My boyfriend says, it smells like hairdresser's, and a friend of mine says that the smell of Boudoir reminds her of the food market in Kairo:) Whatever it is, the fragrance is exceptional:)

The fragrance may 'sound and look appealing', but the smell is appalling.
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.

I'm getting used to this one. I love it, but it's also quite heavy. Maybe it's the patchouli I smell. It does make me think of wild west brothels as shown in western movies :D

Like Chanel No. 5, this one has aldehydes. Figures. The opening really makes me nauseous, much as Chanel No. 5 does. The strange thing is, being too lazy to wash it off, I let it sit, and about 4 1/2 hours later, it softened. It lost that "fish sauce" smell (viburnum?) as long as I wasn't sniffing my wrist too closely. Much like Tabu, it gives off a soft powdery sillage, which I can understand would make someone want to follow you to get a better whiff. But again, as with Tabu, I can't stand that "fish sauce" smell that one gets up close. Boudoir is a Rules girl, like Tabu. Keeping your distance is the best way to appreciate her, until you've been with her longer.

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.

My review is for the Original formula (the amber colored juice, not the pink): The tobacco flower is prominient at first. Then it turns out that actually the longer you wear it the better it is. I've received many compliments. Even my male Doctor said that he thought it was sexy! Hubbie likes it too. The original formula is getting harder and harder to find.

mmmmmmmm, just perfect feminine, seductive fragrance. it is like pink satin. i just smelled on blotter this time, and i was surprised how, somehow, soft it seemed to me. but next time, i shall try it on skin. but, i think i would love to have it in my collection.

thanks caribou55313 :)

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.
