  As soon as you spray, an explosion of bergamot and orange blossom over light rose; then the intense, warm tobacco, jasmine, and narcissus, finishing with soft vanilla. The result is velvety, with tobacco taking the lead. Rating: 4.5 out of 5 before the formula change.

  As soon as you spray, bergamot and orange blossom explode over a light rose base. Then comes the intense, warm tobacco, joined by jasmine and narcissus, finishing with a soft vanilla. The result is velvety, with tobacco taking the lead. Rating: 4.5/5 before the reform.

  Now that I have the perfume, I realize the opening of the miniature and the commercial are different. In the new one, the orange blossom is very, very intense, eclipsing the other flowers which are barely noticeable, and almost the bergamot, which is perceived very softly behind it. The initial phase lasts more than an hour and results in being a bit overwhelming. When the orange blossom subsides (it never disappears) and the tobacco is perceived, it’s perfect. A dense perfume, very feminine, rich, and voluptuous. Suitable for women over 30 and not advisable for young girls.

  And here’s three 🙂 Although it’s not noticeable, spring has been here for two days. With cold and rain but spring. That’s why I put it on again, and it seems that after a few days open, it has changed: it’s not so overwhelming at first, as if it had lost some strength and boosted the rest. Today it seemed perfect to me; spring flowers expanding their scent under a gray sky. Edited: 3.5 out of 5.

  I discovered it in ’98 on a trip to Tenerife. I loved it when I tried it, I bought it because it was a good price there, plus the bottle is divine with Vivienne Westwood’s scepter (I keep it empty because it’s so beautiful). Its longevity was spectacular; on me, it smelled a lot of roses, vanilla, and tobacco in the background; it was impossible to ignore, and I even wore it on summer nights. It’s still manufactured but hard to find; it’s not sold in chains, I’ve only seen it online (better price), duty-free, and some El Corte Inglés. It’s expensive and special, for rebellious and breaking women, like her designer. Maybe I’ll buy it again.

  I stumbled upon it in ’98 in Tenerife. I loved it, bought it for the price and the divine bottle with Vivienne Westwood’s scepter (I still have the empty one for the design). The longevity was spectacular; it smelled of roses, vanilla, and a tobacco base, impossible to ignore, and I even wore it in summer. It’s still made but hard to find in regular stores; I’ve seen it online, at duty-free, and occasionally at El Corte Inglés. It’s expensive and special, for rebellious women like its designer. Maybe I’ll buy it again.

  Boudoir is one of those super warm and sensual perfumes that are light years away from the rest. Longevity over 12 hours and a trail reaching two meters. It starts with an explosion of aldehydes and orange blossom. Then warmth enters, becoming more voluptuous: the flowers (rose, jasmine, and orange blossom) appear under the influence of spices like cinnamon and cardamom, tobacco, and vanilla. It smells like a room with windows to the dawn, fresh air of freshly awakened flowers caressing silk curtains, while floating over an unmade bed missing the bodies of the previous night. Sensual, warm, exuberant, with a sleazy touch. Boudoir isn’t a perfume; it’s an erogenous zone in a bottle.

  Boudoir is a warm, sensual fragrance lightyears ahead of the rest. Lasts over 12 hours with a trail that reaches two meters. It opens with aldehydes and orange blossom, then the warmth brings in rose, jasmine, and orange blossom under spices like cinnamon and cardamom, tobacco, and vanilla. It smells like a room at dawn with windows open, airy florals, silk curtains, and spices, plus an unmade bed missing naked bodies. It’s sensual, voluptuous, and a bit sleazy: it’s not a perfume, it’s an erogenous zone in a bottle.

  Super sensual, bold, and unconventional perfume: the orange blossom and a herbaceous, spicy touch of hyacinth take the lead, but they let the carnations, roses, and jasmines shine over a discreet patchouli, creamy sandalwood, and a tender, velvety iris. It has a lot of character, no complexes, great projection, and impeccable longevity. For me, it’s a must, delicious.

  What a bomb. I admit it’s incredible and timeless. For me, it’s almost dried-out carnations in their purest form. It’s a sweetness, but sweet because of those nearly dead carnations. Some unusual aldehydes. I don’t perceive the tobacco, but it’s not for me because I don’t tolerate much cinnamon and ambered perfumes; with my pH, they tend to dominate too much. I don’t know if I’ll finish the bottle because it bothers me a bit. But what it is… is what it is. A 10/10 perfume in every sense. Trail, super-powerful projection… it has it all. If you like carnations and natural sweetness, this is your perfume. And luckily, it’s hard to get (a plus for anyone who wants to smell different).

  What a bomb. I admit it’s incredible and totally timeless. For me, it’s almost-wilted carnations in their purest form. A sweetness, but sweet because of those almost-dead carnations. Unusual aldehydes. I don’t perceive the tobacco, but it’s not for me because I don’t tolerate much cinnamon and ambered perfumes, which with my pH tend to dominate too much. I don’t know if I’ll finish it because it bothers me a bit. But what it is… is what it is. A 10/10 perfume in every way: trail, super-powerful projection… it has it all. If you like carnations and natural sweetness, this is your perfume. And on top of that, luckily, it’s hard to get (a plus for people who want to smell different).

  Rare, urinous, of a dry filth, floral, spicy, and unusual, to say the least, disgusting. Boudoir is an exact mix between an aldehydic floral powder scent and a bondage room with puddles of urine. Vivienne Westwood has always done whatever she wants; from bone-print t-shirts in the seventies to the rambunctious Provencal shepherdess of the nineties. Boudoir couldn’t be a banal perfume coming from her. Indeed, it isn’t, even though it has an uncomfortable taste of dirty panties and peed-on sheets. The curious thing is that it invites you to smell more, even if it sounds weird, it’s no joke. I wouldn’t wear it myself; even it disgusts me, but it’s funny because it wants to tell something with style, even if the result is sickening and nightmare-like. There are dirty, animal, and wild notes of an evident sexuality. Boudoir doesn’t idealize this; it doesn’t seek that ambiguous putrid sweetness of other perfumes; it directly recalls dried and peed-on sheets, distinguishing the smell of fresh urine from what this juice carries, which smells like cardboard-peed-on. It’s not a rare appreciation of mine; where people smell vetiver, I smell a handkerchief full of snot. Between the dirty bed that reigns during its evolution, you can see the old perfume it wants to be: threads of warm light, carnation, coriander, aldehydes, the grease of calendula, and dry tobacco combined with things that recall the worn fabric of a brocade sofa. It follows outdated trends and is an update of the classic florals of the fifties, with an unpleasant, rare, and inhospitable current, deliberately outdated and with a disgusting sexuality that steps directly into the topic of urine and poor hygiene. It’s not a bad perfume; I even find it interesting: a total rarity.

  Rare, urinous, dry dirt, floral, spicy, and unusual, to say the least, even disgusting. Boudoir is an exact mix between an aldehydic dressing room floral and a bondage room with puddles of urine. Vivienne has always done whatever she wanted: from bone-print t-shirts in the seventies to the rebellious Provençal shepherdess of the nineties. Boudoir isn’t banal; it comes from a lost lunatic and proves it. It has an uncomfortable taste of dirty panties and pees that invites you to sniff more; even if it sounds weird, it’s no joke. I wouldn’t wear it myself, it disgusts me, but it says something with finesse, even if the result is sickening, like a Diogenes nightmare. There are dirty notes in perfumery, like cumin or ambrette, that recall body odors. Boudoir doesn’t idealize this; it doesn’t seek that ambiguous putrid sweetness of other perfumes, but instead recalls dry, peed-upon sheets directly, distinguishing fresh urine from these cardboard-like ones. It’s not a rare appreciation of mine; sometimes I smell different things, like vetiver with a handkerchief and snot. Between the dirty bed of its evolution, you can see the old perfume it wants to be: threads of hot light, carnation, coriander, aldehydes, calendula grease, and dry tobacco like cured fish, all recalling the worn fabric of a brocade sofa. It follows old trends, updates fifties florals, it’s a dressing room perfume with an unattractive, rare, and inhospitable current, deliberately outdated and with ugly sexuality that steps in urine and poor hygiene. It’s not a bad perfume; I even find it interesting, a true rarity.

  I love this fragrance from start to finish; it mesmerizes me because it’s original, powerful, and very warm—a great ally on cool or cold days. It has aldehydes, carnation, hints of cinnamon, tobacco, and vanilla. It’s sweet, it embraces you, and you should get used to its splendor gradually if you like its essence. If you’re looking for something subtle, this isn’t for you, because there are no subtleties or discretion here: it makes its presence known and demands attention. It lasts 8 hours or more. With Boudoir, there are no middle grounds: you either love it or hate it. It’s simple because it’s a complex and uncommon scent. I love it 🙂

  Thanks to a friend, I was able to try it, since finding this perfume is practically impossible. It smells incredible; no wonder it’s so sought after despite being discontinued. The calendula and carnation notes are the stars. It’s an aroma that embraces you; I wore it in December at my partner’s wedding and it lasted all day through rain and humidity. I tried Givenchy Organza and it’s remarkably similar, so I’ll buy it in the future to avoid paying the three-figure prices on secondhand apps for Boudoir.

  I first encountered this 24 years ago, and it was love at first sniff. Its scent is indescribable because it has something magical that wraps around you and captivates you. It’s such a shame they’re pulling such a well-crafted gem from the market. Vivienne, please bring back Boudoir. 🙏

  I met it 24 years ago and it was love at first sight. Its scent is indescribable, it has something special that envelops and captivates you. What a pity they’re pulling well-made gems like this off the market. Vivienne, bring Boudoir back! 🙏
