Boucheron
Place Vendôme jeweller's century-and-a-half perfume tradition
Boucheron is a Parisian high-jewellery maison founded by Frédéric Boucheron, who in 1893 became the first jeweller to install a boutique on the Place Vendôme — a building the house still occupies. The fragrance line, launched in 1988 with the eponymous Boucheron femme in a ring-shaped flacon, has always been positioned as an extension of the jewellery business rather than its own enterprise. The pillar feminine — a crystalline tuberose-and-orange-blossom composition — and the masculine counterpart, with its woody-spicy structure, defined the house's perfume identity for two decades. More recent collections such as Quatre and the Jack line have tried to refresh that codex with patchouli, oud, and cedar accords. Kering acquired the maison in 2000, making it a sister label to the group's other luxury houses.
DNA over time
Each column is an era. Each colored band shows that family’s share of accord weight across every perfume the house released in that window. Bigger band = the house leaned harder on that family.
