Boucheron Homme, a jewel of a masculine fragrance. It has been more than 150 years since Boucheron established itself as a jeweler, first on rue du Palais Royal in Paris and then in the heart of Place Vendôme. Its expertise has thus shone for decades across the entire planet, showcasing the splendor of women through ever more sumptuous adornments.
The magnificent Boucheron released in 1988 had succeeded in seducing women with its oriental and floral accords, at once very elegant and very feminine. Only a year later, a masculine version of this jewel-fragrance was offered to men under the simple yet evocative name of luxury, Boucheron pour Homme. With this masculine opus, Raymond Chaillan managed to capture the very best in order to better reflect the refined spirit of Boucheron jewelry…
Boucheron pour Homme, or Raymond Chaillan's elegant masculine scented jewel
In 1988, for its very first fragrance and after decades of success in luxury jewelry, the house of Boucheron offered, thanks to the talents of perfumer Francis Deléamont, a complex fragrance with fruity and fresh accords, but also elegant ones burning with sensuality. Boucheron Femme, from the celebrated house's very entrance into perfumery, made a great impression for its many facets that so perfectly capture the heart of today's women.
How could one imagine then that Boucheron would stop at such a success? Impossible, all the more so since the jeweler never forgot to create jewelry and watches for men as precious as the feminine models. Thus, only a year later, the successful perfumer Raymond Chaillan, already behind major bestsellers such as Anaïs Anaïs or Opium, was asked to compose a masculine fragrance that would stand as the exact counterpart to Boucheron Femme.
Raymond Chaillan then carried out remarkable composition work in order to combine the originality of floral and citrus notes with the power of distinguished, woody notes, to create a Boucheron pour Homme that would fully represent the sophistication and elegance of men who love the famous Reflet watch (the model for the Boucheron pour Homme bottle) by Boucheron.
A citrus and aromatic freshness gives way to a sparkling fougère accord, subtly woody, for a man of timeless and universal charm. Boucheron on Boucheron pour Homme.
An aromatic floral that settles on the skin like a jewel, Boucheron pour Homme
Raymond Chaillan proved, notably through the creation of certain Yves Saint-Laurent fragrances, that floral notes were not necessarily the preserve of women, quite the contrary! Once again, Boucheron pour Homme showcases the extreme luxury of flowers carefully chosen to better burst forth in its sensual depths.
Thus Boucheron pour Homme opens first with a citrus-aromatic blend that is ultimately fairly classic in masculine perfumery. It is in the heart that Raymond Chaillan reserves his finest olfactory surprises, offering the men of Boucheron pour Homme a bouquet of delicate white flowers between rose, ylang-ylang and lily of the valley. However, the nervy, spicy carnation reminds us well of the virility of this Boucheron man. Finally, the distinguished depths of Boucheron pour Homme are as masculine and powerful as its heart is delicate and sophisticated. It would seem that the union of opposites is the finest olfactory garment this magnificent Boucheron pour Homme could wear!
