Quatre pour Homme Intense

This great Parisian house thus manages to combine a history and craftsmanship 150 years old with particularly contemporary creativity and achievements. Once again, Boucheron offers a concentrate of this talent through the fragrance Quatre pour Homme Intense. This is presented as the more full-bodied version of its predecessor, perfectly suited to an elegant, charming and refined man.

The delicate but full-bodied style of Quatre pour Homme Intense

The least one can say is that Quatre pour Homme Intense lives up beautifully to its name. Indeed, it aims to be particularly full-bodied and is by no means lacking in character. It opens on the scent of a citrus fruit that has been grown for 600 years in Calabria, in southern Italy: bergamot. This reveals its fruity and invigorating facet. It is paired here with a retro and powerful elegance emanating from violet. What is more, black pepper comes to ruffle this already very impertinent ensemble. Then, Quatre pour Homme Intense develops toward a more aromatic heart. This contains, moreover, sage, a raw material that is at once amber, woody, dry and powerful. It is accompanied here by the floral and rosy scent of geranium as well as the more sensual facet of black leather. There, Quatre pour Homme Intense lets us glimpse its even more masculine base. Patchouli releases its complex and sustained effluvia there. Vetiver, for its part, accentuates the virility of the whole. Finally, the whole concludes with the creamy, balsamic and vanilla quality of tonka bean. Quatre pour Homme Intense is then contained in a bottle resembling a column of molten white gold. This is nonetheless contrasted by the shadow of a matte black. The whole is sculpted in a heavy, massive glass, thoroughly masculine.

An inspiration drawn from a Boucheron jewel

Also, if Quatre pour Homme Intense bears this name, it is quite simply because it refers to the emblematic Quatre ring by Boucheron. This is one of the house's best-known creations. It is composed of four bands, each one reflecting the most beautiful hallmarks of Boucheron's history. Among them is the Double Godrons motif invented in 1889, made up of two gold bands joined to one another. The Clous de Paris, for their part, make up the second part of this ring. These are inspired by the cobblestones of Parisian streets and are meticulously hand-carved by master jewelers. The third band of this ring is then embellished with diamonds in their pavé setting. Finally, the Gros Grain motif completes and elevates the whole. This ring is in fact the cap of the Quatre pour Homme Intense bottle. Likewise, the Double Godrons motif appears at its base, carved directly into the glass. Thus, the case of Quatre pour Homme Intense goes well beyond a simple fragrance bottle. It is a true work of art.

The composition of Quatre Intense pour Homme Eau de Toilette unfolds in a burst of bergamot, made distinctive by black violet and spiced with black pepper. In its aromatic heart of sage and geranium lies a note of black leather of absolute chic. Sensual, enveloping, but also somewhat rock-edged, this material becomes enamored with mysterious patchouli. Striking, the composition ignites in swirls of vetiver and the spicy warmth of tonka bean. It is impossible to resist this woody-leathery-aromatic juice.

The bottle and the box

More powerful, more vibrant, the Quatre Intense pour Femme and pour Homme bottles reveal a fragrance with a full-bodied tone. The richness is also found in the detail: molten gold, rose gold for her and white gold for him, coats the bottle to make it even more precious. Finally, the sophisticated and graphic boxes combine the shadow of a matte black with the iridescent shine of rose gold and white gold. Elegance down to the smallest detail.

The story

The sun sets over Paris. The sky bathes Place Vendôme in a very particular glow. At the corner of the square, the stones sparkle in the windows of the house of Boucheron. Suddenly, the Quatre woman strides onto the square and every gaze freezes, captivated by her beauty. On her finger she wears the symbol of her strength of character and her boldness: the Quatre Radiant ring in rose gold. At her neck, the sillage of her new Quatre Eau de Parfum Intense.
On the other side of the square, he waits for her. The Quatre man displays his quiet strength and his Quatre ring in white gold. With each of his steps, his Quatre Eau de Toilette Intense sillage captivates. As they meet, night falls, but for this magnetic couple, it is only just beginning...
