If you like close to the skin aromas like me, then Boucheron Initial perfume is what you need to try... Its so beautiful with soft woods and warm sweet honey tones that have this lovely caring feminine touch and then the musk brings this charm of elegance. Excellent for me...

At first you get the scent of orange
wrapped with spices and warm amber
Cozy fragrant Imaginings of a Old Victorian Fireplace on christmas eve
a rocking chair rocks back and forth
comly listioning to the sound fire
Crakling Misoltoe on top of the archway
faint sounds of tinkling music boxes playing. or in the scene from The Age of Innocence when Madame Olenska and Newland Archer suble erotic chemisty
or russia Before the revolution when
Tsars ruled with Ambered walls decked with fine paintings of great masters
Leo Tolstory with his Anna Karenina
Onegin wondered though
St Peter's Squaire Like a Person without a soul after his Doomed love for Tatyana. the sweet Soft sounds of the balakas playing. this was a world
before Lenin Stalin and Communist Regime
Distroyed it Forever.
these are the things i imagine when i wear this. a bittersweet Sojourn in a bottle.

I can see this as a precursor for the current style of the modern chypre fragrances, that uses a camphoraceous, but sweet, patchouli note attached to luminous fruity tones and some creamy musks sometimes. Initial in the EDP version has this kind of aura, a creamy honeyed musky that shines after a first medicinal almond opening, followed by peppered satined roses. I have to disagree that this is a common scent, common scents barely shines like this one, that seems sophisticated and balanced after the first minutes, when the dissonant almond starts to fade and open space for the beauty scent to glow at skin. A hidden gem, not for everyone I think, but it`s the kind of scent that seems magic when used in the proper skin. Although it seems to me, as other boucheron scents, a fragrance that you would use only in social moments, I would wear it everyday, since the glowing aroma is so appealing and makes me smile.

I tried this fragrance a little while ago and it was love at first sight! I just could not get it out of my head until I got it. A fragrance so warm and loving so charming and whimsical like a very special memory. Alluring in a provocative way but not at all over-the-top. Sophisticated and grown-up. It makes me feel sexy like a pair of Gucci Tall-boots does, like sexy lace lingerie under an Armani fur coat would! It's sexy but still very classy! The first day I tried it I got complements--and that always makes a woman feel good. I would say that Initial is for anyone to wear. I'm 30 and love its wonderful scent, but a woman of any age might find this perfume enticing and find a new friend in it. I have!
