Boucheron has launched summer limited editions of 2012's Jaïpur Bracelet (shown above) and 1997's Jaïpur Homme (shown below).
Jaïpur Bracelet Limited Edition ~ "Jaipur Bracelet Summer opens with the vividness of a melange of fruits, sweet and juicy. In the heart, an exotic floral-fruity accord creates a voluptuous yet playful feel, while the a precious dry down of woody notes counterbalances the sweetness beautifully." With notes of mandarin, red currant, raspberry, rose, lychee, woods and orris. Available in 100 ml Eau de Toilette.
Jaïpur Homme Limited Edition ~ a woody aquatic interpretation of the original, with cantaloupe, clove, nutmeg, cinnamon, vanilla and amber wood. Available in 100 ml Eau de Toilette.

I like their summer editions so much better than the regular line.
I’m all for orientals and complex stuff, but the regular line reminds me of oriental perfume, worn by very old people in a house that has the heating on, even in summer! LOL too much.
Or, conversely: back in the day, Boucheron scents had an aura of luxe about them, the original Boucheron being a grand floral oriental and Boucheron Pour Homme (in EDP!) a chypre. These new flankers sound just like anything else you can find in any bottle in any department store: a fruity floral for women, an aquatic for men (with cantaloupe, no less).
I smelled the original Jaipur & Jaipur Homme years ago but admit I hardly remember them; have not yet smelled the Bracelet.
Jaipur Homme was incredibly sweet, too much even for me. I bought a full bottle not long after its launch, based on a quick sniff and my adoration of Boucheron Pour Homme EDP, but soon swapped it away.
I like the pink bottle but the notes somehow just don’t perk my interest.
It is a really pretty bottle!
I’m wearing Jaipur Homme Fraicheur today, a discontinued flanker that keeps the character of the original but with less powder and vanilla. I’m interested but very leery of the aquatic and canteloupe in the description.
I don’t always love aquatics either.
