Overview
InitialbyBoucheronis a Floral fragrance for women.Initialwas launched in 2000. The nose behind this fragrance is Jacques Cavallier. Top notes are Pepper, Cassis, Red currant leaf and Mandarin Orange; middle notes are Patchouli, Rose, Jasmine and Wildflowers; base notes are Honey, Almond and Musk.This precious perfume bestows to its woman a gentle and soft aura. It begins with the freshness of tangerine; the floral nuance is given by rose and jasmine, and pepper leads into sensual intrigue, together with almond honey and patchouli, leaving this intense welter trace. As it is always case with Boucheron, the beautiful bottle is a real fetish. It is especially present in the concentration of the perfume. This time it has a form of a pedant with a pearl. Since for many people the very process of putting the perfume is a real pleasure and especially by holding something like this in their hands, the special attention the designers dedicated in creating such a bottle is not a surplus job. The perfume was introduced in 2000, and the creator of this graceful bottle is Joel Desgrippes.
