Boucheron Quatre, when fine jewelry meets perfumery Boucheron is a haute jewelry house founded in 1858 by Frédéric Boucheron. It is known throughout the world for its exceptional pieces filled with elegance and refinement.
Boucheron fragrances are relatively recent compared to the absolutely incredible heritage of the house, which was founded in 1858. This in no way prevents them from drawing inspiration from the house's finest jewelry pieces, gradually distilling into fragrances a style that is both modern and imbued with Boucheron's past. Quatre, released in 2015, showcased the iconic model of the house of Boucheron through accords blending eras and scents to better surprise us…
Three talented perfumers for an exceptional Quatre fragrance signed Boucheron
Boucheron, released in 1988, was the very first fragrance released by the legendary Place Vendôme jewelry house of the same name. The lovely oriental floral would go on to sketch, in precious accords, the values and ancestral savoir-faire of the house. From then on, every Boucheron fragrance would be linked to a legendary piece of jewelry.
As for Quatre, launched in 2015, the reference clearly points to the brand's iconic ring released in 2004. Indeed, the three talented perfumers who composed Quatre drew for this fragrance a portrait as contrasted and original as that of the jewel, offering four different facets of gold. A blend of past and present, even future, the Quatre ring, like the Quatre fragrance, are meant to be paired and worn by the same devotees of the house.
Moreover, the three perfumers chosen to compose Quatre come from relatively different backgrounds and inspirations. Antoine Maisondieu is passionate about art and loves creating fragrances of emotion, original and innovative; he is also the mentor of the young and talented Nadège Le Garlantezec, already the recipient of several industry awards. As for Nathalie Gracia-Cetto, she is deeply attached to floral essences and to blending genres between theoretical rigor and poetry. This trio is therefore ideal for composing a Quatre as brilliant as it is remarkably contrasted.
Quatre and its four major fragrant accords, a Boucheron symphony
Just as the Quatre ring is formed of different motifs and different kinds of gold, the Quatre fragrance is a concentrate of perfumery's finest raw materials. Classic ingredients such as rose or jasmine come face to face with distinctly trendy and modern fruity notes of strawberry or redcurrant, together forming a timeless elixir that plays with both eras and scents.
Quatre opens with fresh, energetic notes of orange and mandarin, offering a tangy start for the dynamic, urban woman. Then rose and jasmine bring their timeless feminine sweetness to the heart, reminding us of the beauty of perfumery's great classic ingredients. This journey through time is shaken up by the currently very trendy red fruit notes, particularly thanks to the incredible success of La Petite Robe Noire. Finally, white musks and cashmeran turn into cottony, silky velvet, offering the Boucheron woman an intense sensuality.
Confident and contemporary, it reveals the strength of character and charisma of those who wear it. It is the fragrant expression of a subtle balance between modernity and heritage, innovation and tradition, rock/chic and chic. Boucheron for Quatre.
