Quatre Iconic, the new must-have fragrance from Boucheron. The house of Boucheron is considered one of the oldest jewelry brands in French heritage. It was created in 1858 and was also the first to establish itself on Place Vendôme, in 1893. Renowned for its prestigious jewelry, it also creates exceptional fragrances.
In 2015, the house of Boucheron, a famous Parisian jeweler, offered us a jewel like no other: a fragrance inspired by one of its most iconic rings. This ring highlighted the image of a radiant and luminous woman. The success was instantaneous, so much so that the fragrance Quatre can boast of having already been reinterpreted several times. In 2022, a new chapter of its story is being written. This time, Boucheron gives birth to Quatre Iconic. So, what about this captivating fragrance built around tuberose? Here is our review.
Olfastory’s review
A bottle of great beauty, close to that of Quatre Absolue de Nuit
Quatre Iconic by Boucheron first seduces us with the beauty of its bottle. Indeed, it is a heavy and massive case, whose appearance seems reserved only for exceptional objects. Moreover, its centerpiece, that is, its cap, is decorated with the Quatre ring by Boucheron. For the occasion, it retains a brown trim, as on the 2017 fragrance Quatre Absolue de Nuit. However, its juice is no longer brown. It becomes more honeyed, giving it a new luminosity and a more radiant surge. For the rest, this bottle features hot-stamped gold lettering. Its cap, meanwhile, is plated in 24-carat gold. Quatre Iconic by Boucheron is a perfect compromise between the luxury of perfumery and that of jewelry.
The highly contrasted and sensual scent of Quatre Iconic by Boucheron
To create this fragrance, Boucheron called upon two talented perfumers, namely Ane Ayo and Pierre Negrin. Together, they imagined a carnal and sensual fragrance, focused essentially around tuberose. Now, this is one of the most expensive raw materials in the entire perfumer's palette. Undoubtedly, Quatre Iconic by Boucheron belongs to the realm of fine perfumery. Its Indian tuberose releases here a narcotic breath, before becoming more honeyed, candied and generous. This carnal concentrate is also spiced with pink pepper, ginger and mandarin. At its heart, it softens with blackcurrant and Peru balsam. Finally, Quatre Iconic by Boucheron ends with a blend of amber, vetiver and patchouli, leaving a persistent and seductive trace on skin.
Quatre Iconic, an excellent way to immerse oneself in Boucheron's heritage
Finally, let us recall that Boucheron remains to this day one of the oldest Parisian houses. The fragrance Quatre Iconic is an excellent way to recall its history, its rich journey and all its expertise. As a reminder, Boucheron was created in 1858. It was also the first jewelry house to establish itself on the prestigious Place Vendôme in Paris, in 1893. The fragrance Quatre Iconic, notably through the cap of its bottle, recalls some of the finest works that have marked its journey. This bottle is a concentrate of all of Boucheron's luxury. Through this fragrance, Boucheron intends to invite perfume lovers to be introduced to the world of jewelry. Sometimes, from one world to another, the line becomes very thin...
