  I don’t understand how Boucheron managed to release a fragrance like this in their house. To me, it smells a lot like Halloween Man by Jesús del Pozo, especially in the first hour. It fits the mold of “new fragancies” like One Million. I guess it’s their way of appealing to younger crowds. After about two hours, it shifts to a more woody tone with a subtle musk and a violet leaf note that really takes over. You could say it’s a safe bet for gifting or blind buying if you like this style. Nothing groundbreaking, but definitely more commercial than other Boucheron scents.

  Commercial, but not unpleasant. Not unique either, that would be lying, but exquisite as well, so saying otherwise would also be a lie. I liked it, though it’s not a priority for me. But for a standard user, this fragrance could provide elegance and neatness with total confidence. My nose didn’t pick up the citrus notes, and I detected the violet very close to the scent of lavender (could it be something about me?). The jasmine note is light and never feminizes the fragrance; it stays very masculine throughout, despite the significant floral load in the composition (similar to Perry Ellis’s “Reserve,” my beloved “Reserve”). Regarding that initial floral note, I agree with the previous review that it turns woody as it dries, but additionally, I felt it also became somewhat soapy (which isn’t negative for me, as I like that effect). I perceived it as very old-school in terms of complexity, but very new-school regarding longevity and sillage. Give it a chance (I also agree with the previous review that it’s a great choice for a gift).

  Commercial, yes; unpleasant, no. Unique? Not really, but calling it exquisite would also be a lie. I liked it, though that doesn’t make it a priority for me. For an average user, this fragrance offers elegance and cleanliness with total confidence. My nose didn’t pick up the citrus notes, and the violet smelled very close to lavender (maybe that’s just me?). The jasmine note is light and never feminizes the scent; it stays very masculine throughout, despite the heavy floral composition (similar to Perry Ellis Reserve, my beloved Reserve). From that initial floral burst, I agree with previous reviews that it dries down to a woody scent, but to me, it also turned slightly soapy (which isn’t negative for me, as I like that effect). I felt it was very old-school in complexity but very new-school in longevity and sillage. Give it a try (and I agree with the previous review that it’s a great gift choice).

  I completely agree with the previous review. The scent description is spot-on, but what they highlight as a positive, I find totally negative. – The citrus notes are barely noticeable. – The violet smells more like lavender to me… – Result: A soapy-woody aroma. That’s it. A fragrance completely lacking soul and charisma. Generic and undefined. You could wear it just as easily as any other; it makes no difference. Brands release scents just for the sake of it, with very cheap manufacturing costs, resulting in things like this that no one will remember in 1-2 years. Maybe interesting if it cost $10. NOTE: Boucheron hasn’t had anything to do with perfumes under their name for a long time. They sold the brand to “Inter Parfums, Inc.” to manufacture and distribute perfumes under their name.

  The Boucheron option feels a bit dated. It smells nice, but it’s unremarkable and I don’t think anyone would go out of their way to own it. It’s too generic; you get the feeling you’ve smelled it a thousand times before. It’s not a distinctive or exclusive scent, though it is pleasant, creamy, and has good longevity. It’s a shame the fragrance isn’t anything special…

  Completely agreeing with Drakecito, it’s a soapy woody scent that doesn’t smell like its listed notes and is generic to the extreme. Women with bad taste might like it, but poor choice for anyone wearing it. I’m usually not this harsh about perfumes, but many will love it. This smells identical to two Zara perfumes and is a terrible copy of Gucci Guilty, especially for the price. Try it, we all have different opinions. I tested it again today in 2020, and my perception hasn’t changed. How can a brand with a good perfume like Jaipur release such a disaster?

  Completely agree with Drakecito, it’s a soapy woody scent, it doesn’t smell like the notes it has, and generic to no end. For sure, women with bad taste will like it, but poor the guy who wears it. I’m not usually so drastic about a perfume; surely many will like it, but this smells identical to 2 Zara perfumes and is a very bad copy of Gucci Guilty, terrible for its price. Try it, we all have different opinions. I tried it again today, 2020, and my perceptions haven’t changed. Just like with a perfume as good as Jaipur, they could launch this mess ¬¬.

  Frédéric Boucheron inaugurated the house’s first jewelry store in a gallery within the Palais Royal in Paris in 1858, later moving to the Place Vendôme, where it remains to this day. The Boucheron brand currently belongs to the Kering S.A. Group, which owns Alexander McQueen, Balenciaga, Gucci, among others. Well, we know what sometimes happens with multinational acquisitions: it’s very easy for the roots to get lost. Boucheron launched a luxury jewelry collection called QUATRE in 2004. It has produced four distinct series: Quatre, Black, White, and Follies, and the cap of the QUATRE POUR HOMME bottle resembles one of the rings from the collection. The creator is Christophe Raynaud. It’s a fragrance that turns out to be more Aquatic Musky than anything else. In some way, it was born almost fifteen years late, when aquatics had given way to more woody and gourmand perfumes. QUATRE POUR HOMME brings nothing new. Its scent is linear and of medium quality. A low-intensity citrus musk permeates everything, with a calone aquatic contribution. It has insignificant touches of woods and floral notes, which are only perceived when I bring my nose close to my arm and inhale deeply. It’s not a scent that attracts me because I find neither personality nor packaging in it. It’s in the line of a certain quality supermarket cologne but inappropriate for Boucheron. I don’t understand what Boucheron was trying to do by attempting to emulate its luxury ring with a scent of such little importance. They should have thought of a warm, intensely spiced oriental scent. Or perhaps a boudoir scent, powdery and loaded with iris, rose, and jasmine, in the style of JAIPUR. QUATRE POUR HOMME can be used at any time because, being light and discreet, it won’t bother anyone. A daily cologne, close to an anonymous body wash with a clear impression of low-cost artificiality.

  Completely disagree with most of the previous comments. It’s true it doesn’t bring anything new, but I believe today 20% of fragrances do. Almost every type of combination and deconstruction has been tried. In short, a fairly safe and pleasant scent for everyone. It’s a combination of Mediterranean fresh notes in the opening alongside classic florals and a slight musky-woody base, with acceptable sillage. At first, a citrus explosion with a slight sweet floral trail in the background; almost an hour in, the citrus fades into the background and a quite floral violet emerges (for violet leaf lovers, consider this option for temperate and warm climates), a very summery violet. Its projection on my skin is moderate for about 2 hours, maybe a bit more, almost reaching three. Then, in its development phase, I smell the rose much more than the jasmine, with soft woody notes and that soapy sheen, and it stays this way until the skin-close dry down for about 6 to 7 hours. The opening is quite good and pleasant, hard to dislike, fairly fresh, sober, and elegant, non-invasive. It’s a fairly sincere scent in the sense that its few notes are felt and well-defined. I don’t find it very commercial either, since floral scents for men aren’t trendy nowadays, so if you want to smell safe, fresh, pleasant, and slightly distinct (not a huge novelty either), I think this would be ideal. I see it for temperate to warm climates, because its violet note makes it a bit more versatile compared to other fresh citrus scents on the market. More daytime than nighttime, though I’d still wear it on a warm night to smell good without drawing attention. I bought a tester for 20 dollars. At first, reading the negative reviews, I thought it was a bad purchase (I got hooked on its opening, which is why I bought it, plus the name hahaha, so very high-class, along with the bottle’s sober but elegant design, just like its scent), but I’ve been testing it for two days now and I’m satisfied. Scent: 8/10 (very safe, nothing novel but also not very repetitive). Performance: 7.5/10 (moderate projection for 2 hours, maybe a bit more, then skin-close until the 6th/7th hour). Versatility: 7.5/10 (temperate to hot climates, especially daytime, neither too elegant nor too informal). Price: 8/10 (cheap at 20 dollars for a tester, but not an excellent scent either, paid a fair price). Final note: 8/10. For the price (20 USD tester), not bad at all. For violet lovers, it should be tried as a casual summer fragrance and versatile, also for temperate climates. Good performance but not excellent. Good fragrance. Perhaps something similar to Mercedes Benz Intense, but the latter seems to be of better quality, maybe at a slightly higher price, but less versatile and summery than Quatre.

Almost every combination and deconstruction has been tried before. In short, it’s a safe and pleasant scent for everyone.

Its projection on my skin is moderate for about two hours, maybe a bit more, nearing three.

For violet lovers, try it as a casual, versatile summer fragrance, also good for temperate climates. Performance is good but not excellent. A good fragrance. Maybe similar to Mercedes Benz Intense, but that one seems higher quality and slightly more expensive, yet less versatile and summery than Quatre.

  Boucheron has been releasing very weak and soulless fragrances for quite some time. Quatre is one of them. Harmless, floral, pseudo-citrusy and tasty but lacking personality. Longevity/Projection: below average. I’ll always stick with the vintage Magnifique Jaipur and Pour Homme. Let’s see what else this brand comes up with. (Let’s hope for the better).

  I understand the disappointment many feel with Boucheron Quatre. Many of us connect the name of this centenarian maison ineluctably with its signature perfumes, Boucheron Pour Homme and Jaipur. Great stately perfumes that defined an era. In that sense, Boucheron has earned a name in perfumery similar to Cartier; both are houses that don’t chase trends and continue producing magnificent vintage perfumes. However, unlike Cartier, Boucheron has indeed updated itself in recent years, stepping out of the ‘stately brand’ box, and launched Quatre Pour Homme in 2015. Those who spoke before hit the nail on the head: it’s a generic perfume, a blue trend scent, meaning a normal fragrance you use for daily life without worrying about compliments because you don’t care much. However, the selling price isn’t something you can spray happily like it’s from a pharmacy. Very similar to Diesel Only the Brave, made to please the masses and not us, the enthusiasts or critics. It has a bit more quality and longevity than Diesel, which I must acknowledge. The same mass appeal happens with the recent ‘Boucheron Singulier’, totally related to Dior Sauvage. Do I recommend Quatre? It’s a scent that will earn praise and please everyone. If you don’t seek complexity and just want to smell good, it fulfills its purpose and has good longevity. Ideal for spring-summer.

  It’s a well ‘French’ fragrance, classic in the good sense, slightly leaning unisex, I think because of the violet. Longevity is medium-high, projection is moderate. Being markedly floral, it will suit those under 30 and people who aren’t looking for typically ‘masculine’ scents, i.e., woody, tobacco, or herbal ones.

  Honestly, it left me somewhat indifferent after trying it a couple of times. The opening is fresh; I can’t pinpoint a specific note. It soon evolves into the usual amber with floral flashes (violet) and a sweet-musky texture. It’s pleasant, but a bit flat. However, as time passes and it dries down, it settles in and I’d say it improves. I feel the labdanum base gives it a certain opulence. In summary, it’s a slightly sweet, non-intimidating scent, yes elegant. It would be worth wearing every day, though better in summer than winter. It’s not bad, but it doesn’t quite win me over. Will have to try it again.

  Yikes, if only it were a bit more intense, I’d like it more! I read all the reviews—they’re interesting but contradictory. I agree with some points. I’m glad Quatre isn’t a stately fragrance like Jaipur or B. Man. No, please. I bought it blind expecting something elegant yet fresh and youthful, and that’s exactly what it is: a youthful twist toward the mass market and easy-to-wear, but with elegant nuances. The dirty, powdery, striking violet alongside geranium and hyssop (similar to absinthe grass) gives it a cheerful, lively, almost alcoholic touch. The opening of tangerine and lime peel fades quickly, and the dry down is more creamy due to the resin and woods. In short, it’s versatile, young-elegant (less so than Singulier), a fresh floral with aquatic musk hints and a woody dry down with intense amber. Great for work, university, dinners, and the movies. It’s not meant to stand out, more for personal enjoyment.

  Bought it blind and honestly, it didn’t disappoint. It has that fresh, powdery DNA I love, similar to some of my other fragrances. Longevity is moderate, about three hours on skin, but it lasts longer on clothes. I’ll save it for spring. I paid 20 euros, so it’s definitely not a bad deal, especially compared to designer luxury scents I ended up selling because I didn’t like them. Ideal for temperate climates. I recommend it blind if you like fresh-floral styles.
