Houbigant Mon Boudoir ~ new fragrance

Posted by Robin on 9 September 2019 4 Comments

Houbigant Paris has launched Mon Boudoir, a reissued fragrance joining the brand's Collection Privée.

Mon Boudoir was originally launched in 1919, created by Master Perfumer Robert Bienaimé. It was Queen Marie of Romania favourite perfume, she wore until her death. On the occasion of the centenary of its creation the Maison Houbigant revives this inimitable perfume.

The fragrance opens with a brilliant note of bergamot accompanied by intriguing peppery notes. A heart of rose, geranium, ylang ylang and jasmine is wrapped by the velvety notes of iris and heliotrope. On the bottom, patchouli and sandalwood join the most imperial of the ambers, heated by benzoin and musk, embellished with Tahiti vanilla.

Mon Boudoir was developed by perfumer Luca Maffei. 

Houbigant Mon Boudoir is available now at Bergdorf Goodman, $285 for 100 ml Eau de Parfum.

    What a gorgeous box and bottle! Nice notes, too. Hope I’ll get to try it one day.

      I was thinking the same. The notes look prromising. It’s nice to see a bottle that isn’t rectangular or minimal for a change.

      I think they use that bottle for all of this collection. It is pretty!
