Boucheron Jaipur Homme Eau de Parfum, 1998

One of the best oriental male perfumes, from the niche brand: Boucheron.

(Disclaimer: every review is my own honest opinion, i tested all of the perfumes on my own skin and a paper test strip.)

One of the ad's for Jaipur Homme.

This is definitely not a regular oriental male perfume. It is strong, spicy and powdery. That last is a bit weird, because that's not very usual for a male perfume. That is why i like it so much.

(Fun fact: this was acctualy my first expensive perfume.)

The perfume starts with a overload of cinnamon and cardamom. The first 3 hours it's intensive and strong. I get the association with a female perfume, but in the right way. I think that's because they used jasmine, carnation and rose in Jaipur Homme.

If you like Yves Saint Laurent's Opium Homme, this will suit you aswell.

The top notes are: Lime, Bergamot, Cardamom and Lemon.

The middle notes are: Carnation, Cinnamon, Jasmine and Rose.

The base notes are: Tonka Bean, Patchouli, Benzoin and Cedar.

You really get the Cardamom and Cinnamon.
