By the editors · 2 min readBoudoir opens with orange blossom and bergamot—a warm, slightly honeyed floral citrus that reads immediately as feminine and layered. Jasmine and narcissus thicken the heart, joined by cardamom and a hint of rose that pushes the composition into rich, almost overwhelmingly sensual territory.
The spice is generous but anchored by sandalwood and patchouli below. Cinnamon weaves through the base alongside vanilla, creating a warm, resinous amber-spice finish that persists long after the florals fade.
The overall character is dense and warm-spicy—a classic orientally influenced floral best suited to evenings and cold weather. The dry-down evolves considerably from the bright opening.
