Boucheron pour Homme Edition Bleue
Boucheron (2006)

Boucheron pour Homme Edition Bleue is excellent, much better than the regular version in my opinion. I won it at a perfume shopping night, and am very pleased! It is slightly opulent yet fresh, a citrus and spicy-wood scent and is very classy. The opening is very citrusy, lemony and aromatic. The aromatic notes develop in the middle... some sort of woody spice (perhaps coriander) softened by a light floral note. The patchouli is very restrained and blends with the cedar to give a fresh, slightly dusky wood tone. I like this very much. It settles close to the skin and purrs. Worth checking out, regardless of what you think of the regular BpH.

A definite departure from the original Boucheron Homme...thankfully. This wonderfully elegant and refined fragrance takes the 'furniture polish' lemony overtone of the original out of the picture and replaces it with a softer, almost powdery finish. Going on, it appears a bit sharp, but once it dries down, you can't help thinking -- 'Boy, this stuff smells great.' It's gorgeous bottle just completes the outfit. I was fortunate enough to find this at a local Macy's while it was still available.

The pyramid looks absolutely fantastic. Has anyone seen/tried this jus? It is not listed on the Boucheron site.

I love Boucheron Homme and Jaipur, but this stuff blows them away! Once again, it's a limited edition that should be made into regular production, but isn't (I bought five bottles off Ebay.) It's, I guess, supposed to be a "fresh" version of Boucheron Homme, but it doesn't even remind me of the original. Instead, it's a new cologne; one that has citrus notes at first and then turns into a "shaving cream" type smell later on. And like all of Boucheron's stuff, it last forever, too.
