Jaïpur Homme is Boucheron's spicy oriental, composed by Annick Ménardo and launched in 1997. The Place Vendôme jeweller borrows its setting from the India of the maharajas: bergamot and clove at the opening, cinnamon, nutmeg and violet in the heart, vanilla and amber in the base. The bottle takes up the house codes, a gilded gadroon and a sapphire-blue cabochon.
Boucheron declares seven materials for the bottle sold today: bergamot and clove at the opening, cinnamon, nutmeg and violet in the heart, vanilla and amber in the base. The house files the whole under spicy oriental.
An opening already spiced
The opening is unusual for an oriental: clove takes its place from the first moment, alongside bergamot, where most compositions keep it for the heart.
The heart, two spices and one flower
Cinnamon and nutmeg carry the heart. Violet, the only declared flower, is given by the house the task of softening the spice without putting it out.
The base
The base rests on vanilla and amber. The house speaks of a final vanilla and amber accord with a memorable trail, closing the composition on its warmest part.
The other readings
The listings in circulation do not agree. Jeanne Doré in 2008 described an opening of bergamot, lemon and geranium shaken by clove, cardamom and cinnamon. Varanis Ridari for his part opens on bergamot, lemon, lime, cardamom and heliotrope.
These descriptions concern older runs. Heliotrope, cardamom, lime and oakmoss remain outside the materials the house declares today.
