Me really hopes to see these in the US. The Vanille, Tubéreuse, and Iris are calling my name! ^_^
I have seen nothing yet about the distribution, but would think Neiman Marcus would be a good possibility.
They sound pretty good a I am hopeful. I wore original Boucheron cheerfully. I have been thinking maybe I should get more of that, but maybe I will try some of these instead..
Never hurts to be hopeful
Wow! Luxury-priced perfumes based on a single note. I’m loving that concept! How come no one thought of that before?
But seriously my first thought was ‘haven’t they done this line before?’ I have a hard time telling them all apart. Oh dear, I was going to write something about how I’ve enjoyed earlier Bvlgari fragrances but now I see it’s Boucheron.
Seriously, so much new here that it’s hard to process.
I am inclined to ignore multiple releases. Too much temptation to do one spritz of each and see how they smell as one thing….
I love your sarcastic remarks !
But like Rose Bertin, Marie – Antoinette’s dressmaker once said : There is nothing new except what has been forgotten.
How do I correct myself? Please disregard the for !
There is, unfortunately, no way to edit your comments once you’ve made them. If you’ve ever accidentally posted something private that must be deleted, you can email me and I will fix it, and since I am already here I will remove the ‘for’, but usually people just post their corrections in another comment, just as you did
That’s a pretty bottle! I will want to try iris and amber
Yeah, so gutsy, hope people will understand what they are trying to convey. And what, there is an Oud frag?! What’s this, some new exotic material? (Now, seriously, an amber AND a vanilla and no vetiver!! Nah.)
This was supposed to be an answer to des esseintes, wrong place, sorry.
Oud of Carthage? Oy. That’s like Roses of the Rainforest.
The bottles are ugly. They look like cough syrup to me — one color for each day of the week except Sunday because you’ll be cured by then or you can rely on divine intervention instead.
are these unisex???
I don’t know how they are being marketed.
I am tremendously bored by these insta-launches of 6-10-12 new scents with rainbow coloured liquids and checking off category boxes: vanilla, iris, leather, tuberose, etc.
I enjoyed the original Boucheron very much. It smelled terrific on me. Unfortunately, the later releases were a let down & the original is now dated in my mind. I’m always hoping the house will introduce a fragrance and bring back the excitement it once had.
