  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 burst 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 reformulation.

  Now that I have the perfume, I realise that the mini and the commercial are different. In the new one, the orange blossom is very, very intense, eclipsing the other flowers which are barely guessable, 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 is perfect. A dense perfume, very feminine, rich, and voluptuous. Suitable for women from 30 and not advisable for young girls.

  And here are three 🙂 Although it is not noticeable, here it is spring for the last two days. With cold and rain but spring. That is why I put it on again and it seems that after a few days open it has changed: it is no longer so overwhelming at first, as if it had lost strength and boosted the rest. Today it seemed perfect to me; spring flowers expanding their scent under a grey 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, besides its bottle is divine with Vivienne Westwood’s sceptre (I keep it empty because it is so beautiful). Its longevity was spectacular; on me it smelled very much of roses, vanilla, and tobacco in the background, it was noticeable, and I even used it on summer nights. It is still manufactured but hard to get; it is not sold in chains, I have only seen it online (better price), duty-free, and some El Corte Inglés. It is expensive and special, for rebellious and breaking women, like its designer. Perhaps I will buy it again.

  I picked it up in 1998 in Tenerife. I loved it, bought it for the price and the divine bottle with Vivienne Westwood’s sceptre (I still have the empty bottle for the design). The longevity was spectacular; it smelled of roses, vanilla and a tobacco base, impossible to miss, and I even wore it in summer. It is still made but hard to find in normal shops; I have seen it online, in duty-free and at some El Corte Inglés outlets. It is expensive and special, for rebellious women like its designer. Perhaps I will buy it again.

  The Boudoir is one of those super warm and sensual perfumes that are light years ahead of the rest. Longevity over 12 hours and a trail two metres away. It starts with an explosion of aldehydes and orange blossom. Then the 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 picked flowers caressing silk curtains and spices, while floating over an unmade bed that misses the bodies of the previous night. Sensual, warm, exuberant, with a sleazy touch. The Boudoir is not a perfume; it is an erogenous zone in a bottle.

  Boudoir is a warm, sensual fragrance lightyears ahead of the rest. Lasts over 12 hours with a trail reaching two metres. It opens with aldehydes and orange blossom, then 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, floral air, silk curtains and spices, and an unmade bed longing for naked bodies. It is sensual, voluptuous and a bit sleazy: it is not a perfume, it is an erogenous zone in a bottle.

  Super sensual, brave, and unconventional perfume: the orange blossom and a herbaceous, spiced 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, with great projection and impeccable longevity. For me, it is a must, delicious.

  What a bomb. I admit it is incredible and totally timeless. For me, it is almost withered carnations in pure state. A sweetness, but sweet because of those almost dead carnations. Unusual aldehydes. I do not perceive the tobacco, but it is not for me because I do not tolerate the smell of cinnamon much, and amber perfumes, which with my pH usually predominate too much. I do not know if I will finish it because it bores me a bit. But what it is… is it. A 10 perfume in every sense: trail, superpotent projection… it has everything. If you like carnations and natural sweetness, this is your perfume. And besides, luckily, it is hard to get (a plus for people who want to smell different).

I do not perceive the tobacco, but it is not for me because I do not tolerate much cinnamon and ambered perfumes; with my pH, they tend to dominate too much. I do not know if I will finish it because it bothers me a bit. But what it is… is it. A 10 perfume in every sense. Trail, superpowerful projection… it has everything.

  Strange, urinous, of a dry filth, floral, spiced, and unusual, to say the least, disgusting. Boudoir is an exact mix between an aldehydic floral from a dressing table and a bondage room with puddles of urine. Vivienne Westwood has always done whatever she pleases; from bone-print t-shirts in the seventies to the rebellious Provencal shepherdess of the nineties. Boudoir could not be a banal perfume coming from her. Indeed, it is not, although it has an uncomfortable taste of dirty knickers and urine. What is curious is that it invites you to smell more, even if it sounds strange, it is no joke. I would not wear it myself; even it disgusts me, but it amuses me because it wants to tell something with style, although the result is sickly and has a nightmare aftertaste. There are dirty, animal, and wild notes of evident sexuality. Boudoir does not idealise this; it does not seek that ambiguous putrid sweetness of other perfumes; it recalls dry sheets and urine directly, distinguishing the smell of fresh urine from what this juice carries, which smells of cardboarded urine. This is 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, the old perfume it wants to be comes through: 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 fashions and is an update of the classic florals of the fifties, with an unpleasant, rare, and inhospitable current, deliberately outdated and with a hideous sexuality that steps directly into the topic of urine and poor hygiene. It is not a bad perfume; I even find it interesting: quite a rarity.

  Rare, urinous, dry dirt, floral, spiced and unusual, to say the least disgusting. Boudoir is an exact mix between an aldehydic floral from a dressing table and a bondage room with puddles of urine. Vivienne has always done what she wanted: from shirts with bones in the seventies to the rebellious Provençal shepherdess of the nineties. Boudoir is not banal; it comes from a lost madwoman and proves it. It has an uncomfortable taste of dirty knickers and pees that invites you to smell more; although it sounds strange, it is not a joke. I would not wear it myself, it disgusts me, but it says something with style, even if the result is sickening, like a Diogenes nightmare. There are dirty notes in perfumery, such as cumin or agarwood, that recall body odours. Boudoir does not idealise this; it does not seek that ambiguous putrid sweetness of other perfumes, but recalls dried, peed sheets directly, distinguishing fresh urines from these cardboard-like ones. It is not a rare appreciation of mine; sometimes I smell different things, such as vetiver with a handkerchief and snot. Between the dirty bed of its evolution, the old perfume it wants to be shows through: hot light threads, carnation, coriander, aldehydes, calendula fat and dry tobacco like dried cod, all recalling the worn fabric of a brocade sofa. It follows old fashions, updates fifties florals, it is a dressing table perfume with an unfriendly, rare and inhospitable current, deliberately outdated and with ugly sexuality that steps into urine and poor hygiene. It is not a bad perfume; I even find it interesting, quite a rarity.

  I love this fragrance from start to finish; it bewitches me because it is original, potent, and very warm, making it a great ally on fresh or cold days. It features aldehydes, carnation, hints of cinnamon, tobacco, and vanilla. It is sweet, embracing, and you should get used to its splendour gradually if you like its essence. If you are looking for something subtle, it is not for you, because there are no subtleties or discretion here: it makes its presence known and ensures it is noticed. It lasts 8 hours or more. With the Boudoir, there are no middle grounds: you either love it or hate it. It is simple because it is a complex and uncommon scent. I love it 🙂

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

  I first encountered this 24 years ago, and it was love at first sniff. Its scent is indescribable because it possesses something magical that envelops and captivates you. It’s such a shame they are taking such beautifully crafted jewels off the market. Vivienne, please bring back the 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 enchants you. What a pity that well-made things like this jewel are withdrawn from the market. Vivienne, bring Boudoir back to us! 🙏
