Boucheron for women is a symbol of splendour, tradition and elegance, a classic floral oriental fragrance. Boucheron’s designers created this elegant perfume in 1988 and it was inspired by the art of Parisian goldsmiths from Place Vendome. The fragrance in perfume concentration has a shape of a ring, edt and edp also have a symbolic shape of a ring. The basic notes are sweet floral-fruity ones with a spicy note of basil and bitterness of pelargonium, which slowly receives intensity with ylang-ylang, tuberose, daffodil, orange blossom from Morocco and jasmine. The base, which is as thin, opulent and elegant as the whole composition, encompasses: civet, benzoin, woody notes, Tonka bean, Indian vanilla, oakmoss, ambergris and musk. The perfume was created by Francis Deleamont and Jean-Pierre Bethouart in 1989. A collection of 4 perfumes by Boucheron, called "Parfums de Joaillier"-“Waters by Jeweler”, was introduced in 2007. The design of bottles was inspired by this house’s jewelry creations and they seem like a metamorphosis of a jewel into bottles. There are initials P and J (Parfums de Joaillier) on the bottles and are written in gold and silver colour. All perfumes in this collection, except for the pink Miss Boucheron-Parfums de Joallier, have the colour of the gem amethyst.
The name Boucheron has personified luxury for over a century. Frederic Boucheron opened his first boutique in the Galerie de Valois in Paris in 1858. His house, known as Maison Boucheron, set up its first workshop in 1866. In 1867, he was recognized with a gold medal from the Universal Exhibition in Paris for his jewelry work. The Universal Exhibition once again noted Maison Boucheron in 1878 with first prize for a snake-like necklace with a 160-carat sapphire stone in the center. It was the first design with a snake pattern for Maison Boucheron, and it is still a popular item today. Boucheron entered the foray of royal jewelry in 1887 when he purchased diamonds from the French crown during an auction. He not only used the royal jewels as templates for crafting future jewelry lines, but he also used one of the most prized jewels as a ring for his wife, Gabriele Boucheron. Since then, the name Boucheron has been forever associated with tradition and love. The Boucheron name further stepped into royal territory when the Shah of Iran asked Louis Boucheron to make an assessment of the Imperial Treasury of Iran in 1930. He was named the curator and guardian of the Treasury. Maison Boucheron broke new barriers in 1988 with the creation of a women's fragrance called Boucheron. The Boucheron house has since established many fragrances and continues as a jewelry designer for clients around the world.
