Singulier
Boucheron (2022)

Boucheron Singulier is a cool musky aromatic deeply blue fragrance appointed for Boucheron by perfumer Caroline Dumur and launched on the market in 2022. This fragrance follows the Dior Sauvage EdT's olfactory trend although it can't be defined properly a dupe of the taking the world by storm former Dior's top seller. Actually Singulier possesses an its own special aromatic peculiarity which is countersigned by a general muskiness, a more moderate spicy rootiness, a touch of undiscerned saltiness and a sort of fluidy kind of cardamomish inebriating aura. While smelling Boucheron Singulier it seems to inhale something combining the original Dior Sauvage Edt with the great Heaven Chopard (1984) and with a minimal hint of Narciso Rodriguez for Him Bleu Noir (2015). The juice is peppery and balsamic, masculine and energizing, salty and laundry, earthy and fluidy. Lavender (a key note), juniper berries and aromatics connect citric zestiness with ambroxan and a final exotic woodiness in a beautiful mix of coolness, oceanic saltiness and musky piquant virility. This fragrance works pretty well on sultry climates and general tropical humidity, it exalts the note of lavender in a vibrant woody exotic vest. Vetiver provides a touch of green exotic (far oceanic lands conjuring) mystery, being itself a key note catering earthiness, darkness, exoticism and mystery. As well as previously pointed out Singulier possesses a salty oceanic hidden touch which charts its particular olfactory way and slightly differs the smell from the Dior Sauvage's more straightforward ambery (ambroxan dominant) woodiness. This salty vibe is kind of laundry, herbal and rooty. The final outcome (salty, spicy and earthy, with a mysterious salty laundry aura and a touch of pencil shavings) conjures me partially Prada Luna Rossa Carbon (2017) as well despite Boucheron Peculier smells more laundry/aromatic and less earthy metallic. The bottom line is that Peculier is nothing but a decently appointed cool virile new creation on the citric aromatic blue new woody trend to be chosen as alternative to more renowned and well marketed similar solutions.
