What did you think? I didnt find it masculine at all what w/ all the fruit in the top notes. Robin, did you get to sampling this yet? What did you think?

To sum up: it's a nice fragrance, but not all that original. I agree that it could be a good masculine...maybe I'll pass it on to my partner. :) I accidentally hit “post” on this before I was done, but you get the picture.

It dried down to smell like Dune. Odd. But not terrible. I loved this at first, then realized it was because it smelled like Black Orchid without the truffle. It dried down to smell like Dune. Odd.

The first one was really too strong for me, I'll need to give this one a shot. That does sound nice. The first one was really too strong for me, I'll need to give this one a shot.

I like the first one so I was pretty curious. I opens like a *much* lighter version of the opening of White Patchouli (Tom Ford). The middle (the best part) is a much softer and way less sweet version of the middle in the original BM, which is basicallya good thing. The dry down is a very soft fruity woody amber, again, much softer version of the original. At the very bottom it picks up a *very* light soapy note. The opening takes about 10 minutes to change, so don't be put off by the business clean patchouli stuff. It is pretty but in a rather cleaned up simple way. It doesn't exude glamour as you would expect from the copy. I'm not sure for me this is FBW, but it speaks to me as a non-offensive frag for business meetings or women who are just trying to get out there with a new frag and don't normally like richer or heavier frags, or can't really wear the original. The right man could wear this if he really wanted to get into a woman's frag, b/c it does have a nice light woodsy fruit thing going on, and it's not really sweet in the heart notes. I think it would actually smell really good on a man, and guys could just pretend the bottle belonged to an X. I just got a sample of this. I like the first one so I was pretty curious.

Sad!) and also thats one reason i loved the original Badg-Misch Fragrance, it had Osmanthus in it. So for me B de Boucheron was a natural love affair! I think you will like it though, it is a little spicier than i thought it would be and the dry down to me is more woody than floral, but it is very feminine and i wouldn't hesitate to also say Graceful! But now i am dreaming of a fragrance that combines Osmanthus, Lotus, Madagascar Vanilla Orchid, White Nectarine, Fleur De Pamplemousse, Apricot, Water Hyacinth, Water Lily, Damascus Rose and Blonde Atlas Cedar with a Soupcon of Labdanum! I think it would be named.... Insouciance! you like? :-) I am such the utter Sucker/Crazed Fool for ANY fragrance with Osmanthus in it (Or Lotus, why isn't Lotus used much anymore? there was a L'occitane Fragrance called Lotus Blossom that i only got to smell once and fell head over heels for and cannot find it anywhere now!
