Boudoir

Boudoir, an Opulent Powdery Floral

Boudoir is a cult classic known for its bold, retro glamour. Our version keeps that character, opening with aldehydes, bergamot, and coriander before a rich rose and jasmine heart settles over patchouli, vanilla, and sandalwood.

The Story Behind the Scent

Vivienne Westwood built Boudoir to be provocative and theatrical, a fragrance as bold as her fashion. It leaned into a powdery, almost old world sensuality, unafraid to be big and dramatic.

That fearless character is why it earned a devoted following. The aldehydes give it a powdery lift, the rose makes it rich, and the patchouli and vanilla make it warm and sensual. Our interpretation keeps that same opulent drama.
