Jaïpur Homme Eau de Parfum

Jaipur is the name of the capital of Rajasthan, the most world-renowned Indian state, notably owing to the presence of the emblematic Taj Mahal. Moreover, if Boucheron chose to give this name to its fragrance, it is simply because this house has always drawn its inspiration from the heart of Indian culture.

Where to buy

Moreover, a first fragrance named Jaïpur and signed by Boucheron had already appeared in 1994. It was intended for women at the time. It was therefore necessary to wait until 1997 to see its masculine counterpart appear.

A tribute to the history of the Boucheron house

Jaïpur Homme is a fragrance that at first evokes a journey to the heart of India. Moreover, this country has always fascinated the Boucheron family. Louis Boucheron fell in love with it in 1909 when he made his very first trip there. He met the maharajahs and drew inspiration from their most beautiful jewels to bring true treasures to life in his Parisian workshops. What is more, it was for one of this country's notable figures that Boucheron created one of the largest commissions in the history of Place Vendôme. In 1928, the Maharajah of Patiala had 1432 emeralds and 7571 diamonds delivered to him, which were transformed into 149 pieces of jewelry. It is therefore a nod to this anecdote that is contained within the Jaïpur Homme fragrance. What is more, Louis Boucheron was fascinated by all the treasures held within the city of Jaipur. He notably held great admiration for the famous astronomical garden imagined by Maharajah Jai Singh II. It is therefore the sketches of this observatory that inspired the creation of Jaïpur Homme. This fragrance displays an unrivaled harmony and a stable, fascinating balance. It is particularly creative and original, intended for a serene man eager for discovery.

The oriental effluvia of Jaïpur Homme

Jaïpur Homme is a fragrance signed by Annick Ménardo. It is built entirely on the complementarity of two fresh and sensual accords. It opens first on a citrus blend. Bergamot displays its zesty sweetness while the bite of lemon is underscored by the elegance of heliotrope. Its heart, meanwhile, is punctuated by multiple spices. Cinnamon, cardamom, pepper and nutmeg lend it an impertinent temperament, both warm and cool. Then rose and jasmine come to underscore the refined elegance of the Boucheron man. Finally, Jaïpur Homme rests on a rich, woody base. It contains cedar, benzoin, amber, patchouli and tonka bean. Vanilla, in turn, makes the whole warmer and more velvety. Jaïpur Homme comes in an arch-shaped bottle. It displays very harmonious proportions and boldly uses steel to enhance its architecture. This highly masculine material lends weight to this fragrance. The whole is also topped with gilded tar-like accents and a midnight-blue cabochon emblematic of the Boucheron house.
