By the editors · 2 min readThe opening lavender-basil accord pins this firmly in the tradition of the grand French fougère — aromatic and brisk, with citrus burnishing the edges. But where most fougères stay in that register, Boucheron Pour Homme does something more ambitious: the heart opens into a lush floral quartet that most masculine fragrances would have avoided in 1991, jasmine, ylang-ylang, lily of the valley, and rose sitting in a composition marketed to men without apology.
The base is where the jeweler's sensibility arrives: oakmoss, vetiver, sandalwood, benzoin, and tonka layered together in a way that is rich without being sweet, incense threading through to keep it from turning gourmand.
Opulent and self-possessed — a fragrance from when men's perfumery was allowed to be complicated.
