  I don’t understand how Boucheron allowed a fragrance like this into their house… Personally, it reminds me a great deal of Halloween Man by Jesús del Pozo, especially during the first hour of application. It follows the line of ‘new fragrances’ in the style of One Million. I imagine it is the way to bring the brand closer to young people. After a couple of hours, the fragrance acquires a more woody tone with a timid musk and a violet leaf that asserts itself. It could be said to be a ‘success’ for gifting and blind buying if you like this type of fragrance. Nothing new, but much more commercial than other Boucheron fragrances.

  I entirely agree with the previous review. The description of the scent is exactly how I perceive it, but what was highlighted as positive in that review comes across as totally negative to me. – Citrus notes that aren’t felt. – The violet smells more like lavender… – Result: A woody-soapy aroma. That’s it. A fragrance completely devoid of soul or charisma. Generic and undefined. You can wear it perfectly well, just as you could wear any other, and it makes no difference. They launch fragrances just because, with very cheap manufacturing costs, resulting in things like this that no one will remember in 1-2 years. Perhaps interesting if it cost $10. NOTE: Boucheron hasn’t had anything to do with perfumes bearing their name for a long time. They sold the brand to ‘Inter Parfums, Inc.’ to manufacture and distribute perfumes under their name.

  Commercial, yes; unpleasant, no. Not unique either, to tell you otherwise would be lying, but exquisite it certainly is; saying the opposite would also be a lie. I liked it, though that doesn’t make it a priority for me. However, for the average user, this fragrance could provide elegance and neatness with total assurance. My nose didn’t detect the citrus notes, and I perceived the violet very close to the scent of lavender (could it be something specific to me?). The jasmine note is light and never feminises the fragrance; at all times it remains very masculine, despite the significant floral load in the composition (a case similar to Perry Ellis’s ‘Reserve’, my beloved ‘Reserve’). From that initial floral note, I agree with the previous review in that it turns woody upon drying, but additionally, I felt it also became slightly soapy (which in my case is not negative; 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 in that it is a success for gifting).

  A Boucheron option that feels a little dated. It smells pleasant, yet it goes unnoticed and I don’t think anyone would kill for it. It’s too generic; you feel like you’ve smelled it a thousand times before. It lacks a distinctive or exclusive scent profile, although it is agreeable, creamy, and has good longevity. A pity that the scent isn’t anything special…

  Completely in agreement with Drakecito, it’s a soapy woody scent, it doesn’t smell like the notes it has, and generic to the max; undoubtedly, women with bad taste will like it, but poor the one who wears it. I’m not usually so drastic about a perfume; undoubtedly, many will like it, but this smells identical to 2 Zara perfumes and is a very bad copy of Gucci Guilty, terribly so for its price. Try it, we all have different opinions. I tried it again today, 2020, and my perceptions haven’t changed, just as with a perfume as good as Jaipur, they can launch this mess ¬¬.

  Completely in agreement with Drakecito; it is a soapy woody scent, it doesn’t smell like its listed notes, and as generic as it gets. Without a doubt, women with poor taste will like it, but poor the man who wears it. I am not usually so drastic about a perfume, but undoubtedly many will like it. However, this smells identical to two Zara perfumes and is a very poor copy of Gucci Guilty; terrible for its price. Try it; everyone has different opinions. I tested it again today in 2020, and my perceptions have not changed. Just like they can launch a masterpiece like Jaipur, they can pull a stunt like this ¬¬

  Frédéric Boucheron inaugurated the house’s first jewellery store in a gallery within the Palais Royal in Paris in 1858, subsequently 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, or 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 jewellery 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 is a fragrance that results in being 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. The low-intensity citrus musk permeates everything, with an aquatic contribution of calone. It has some 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. It’s in the line of a certain quality supermarket cologne but improper for Boucheron. I don’t understand what Boucheron wanted to do by trying to emulate its luxury ring with a scent of such little importance. It should have thought of a warm, intensely spiced oriental scent. Or perhaps a dusty boudoir smell 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.

  I completely disagree with much of the previous commentary. It’s true that it doesn’t bring anything new, but I believe today 20% of fragrances do bring something new. 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 fixation. At first, a citrus explosion with a slight sweet floral trail in the background; almost an hour in, the citrus recedes to the background and a quite floral violet emerges (for lovers of violet leaf, consider this option for temperate and warm climates), a very summery violet. Its projection on my skin is moderate for about 2 hours, perhaps a bit more, almost reaching three. Then, in its development notes, I feel the rose much more than the jasmine and soft woody notes with 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, difficult 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 particularly commercial either, as floral scents for men aren’t trendy nowadays, so if you want to smell safe, fresh, pleasant, and slightly different (not a huge novelty either), I think this would be ideal. I see it for temperate to warm climates, as its violet note makes it slightly 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 teaster for 20 dollars. Initially, 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 jsjsjs, so very high-class alongside the bottle’s sober yet elegant design, just like its scent), but after two days of testing, I’m satisfied. Scent: 8/10 (fairly 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 teaster but not an excellent scent, I paid a fair price). Final note: 8/10. For the price (20-dollar teaster), not bad at all; for violet lovers, it should be tried as a casual, versatile summer fragrance, also for temperate climates. Performance is good but not excellent. A good fragrance. Perhaps similar to Mercedes Benz Intense, but the latter seems to be of better quality, perhaps at a slightly higher price, but less versatile and summery than Quatre.

  I completely disagree with much of the previous comments. It is true that it adds nothing new. But I believe that nowadays only 20% of fragrances truly offer something new. Almost every type of combination and deconstruction has been tried at least once. In short, a fairly safe and pleasant aroma for everyone. A combination of Mediterranean freshness on the opening with classic florals and a slight woody musk dry-down, with acceptable projection and longevity. To start, a citrus explosion with a slight sweet floral trail in the background; by almost an hour, the citrus recedes into the background and a fairly floral violet emerges (for lovers of violet leaf, consider this option a fragrance for temperate and warm climates; a very summery violet). Its projection on my skin is moderate for about two hours, and even a bit more, nearing three. Then, in its development notes, I sense the rose much more than the jasmine and soft woody notes with that soapy sheen, maintaining this until the skin-level dry-down for about 6 to 7 hours. The opening is quite good and pleasant, difficult to dislike, fairly fresh, sober, and elegant, not invasive. It is a fairly sincere aroma in the sense that its few notes are felt and are well-defined within the whole. I don’t find it as commercial as some suggest; nowadays, floral scents for men are not in fashion, so if you want to smell safe, fresh, pleasant, and slightly distinct (not a great novelty either), I think this would be an ideal fragrance. I see it for temperate to warm climates, as its violet note makes it slightly more versatile compared to other fresh citrus fragrances on the market.

Final note: 8/10. For the price ($20 tester), not bad at all. For lovers of violet, it must be tried as a casual, summery, and versatile fragrance, also suitable for temperate climates. Performance is good but not excellent. A good fragrance. Perhaps something similar to Mercedes Benz Intense, but the latter seems to be of better quality, perhaps at a slightly higher price, yet less versatile and summery than Quatre.

  Boucheron has been releasing very weak and soulless fragrances for some time now. Quatre is one of them. Harmless, floral, pseudo-citrusy and tasty but lacking personality. Longevity/Projection: below average. I will 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 of several regarding Quatre by Boucheron. Many of us, upon hearing the name of this centenarian maison, inevitably connect it with its signature perfumes Boucheron Pour Homme and Jaipur. Great stately fragrances that marked an era. In that sense, Boucheron has earned a name in perfumery similar to Cartier’s; both are houses that don’t follow fleeting trends and continue to produce 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, i.e., a normal fragrance used for daily life without worrying about the attention it draws because it doesn’t matter much. However, the selling price isn’t one to spray happily around as if it were 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 mass appeal also occurs with the recent ‘Boucheron Singulier’, totally related to Dior’s Sauvage. Do I recommend Quatre? It’s a scent that will elicit praise and please everyone. If you don’t seek complexity and just want to smell good, it fulfils its purpose and has good longevity. Ideal for spring-summer.

  It’s a well ‘French’ fragrance, classic in the good sense, slightly inclined towards unisex, I believe due to the violet. Longevity is medium-high, with moderate projection. Being markedly floral, it will suit those under 30 and those who don’t seek typically ‘masculine’ fragrances, i.e., woody, tobacco, or herbal scents.

  To be honest, it has left me somewhat indifferent after trying it a couple of times. The opening is fresh; I can’t quite pinpoint a specific note. It soon evolves into the usual amber with floral sparkles (violet) and a sweet-musky texture. It’s pleasant, but a bit flat. However, as time passes and it dries down, it settles and I’d say it improves. I feel the base labdanum gives it a certain opulence. In short, it’s a slightly sweet, unassuming 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. I’ll have to try it again.

  Oh, if it were just a bit more intense, I’d like it more! I read all the reviews; they’re interesting but contradictory. I agree with some points. What I celebrate is that 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 towards the mass market and easy-going, 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 is short-lived, and the dry-down is more unctuous due to the resin and woods. In summary, it’s versatile, young-elegant (less so than Singulier), a fresh floral with aquatic musky hints and a woody dry-down with intense amber. Suitable for work, university, dinners, and the cinema. It’s not for making a statement, but rather for personal enjoyment.

  I bought this blind and, honestly, it hasn’t disappointed. It has that fresh, powdery DNA I love, similar to some of my other fragrances. The longevity is just about right, lasting around three hours on skin, though it would last longer on clothes. I’ll save it for spring. At 20 euros, it’s certainly not bad, especially compared to designer luxury scents I eventually sold because I didn’t like them. Ideal for temperate climates. I recommend it blind if you’re into fresh-floral styles.
