A matter of chemistry
When I was a child, I thought that everybody smelled the same thing, when for example smelling a rose or a steak. As I grew older I found out that this is far from fact. We sense notes with different strengh, and some notes pleases some, other notes someone else. I love the smell of fresh fish; it makes my brother sick. I am not fond of the coconut note; my daughter loves it. So it must be different what we sense, when we smell something.
That is my experience with B from Boucheron. When I wear it, it disappears or fades out before it starts smelling of all the lovely notes described. I can easily smell that this is a wonderful scent to some people - but not on me. On my skin it is rather anonymous. To get a better picture of this I have to sniff the bottle directly or spray it on my wrist so that I can sniff it close to my skin.
In the beginning I get apricot. Neroli is very quiet, hardly detectable. After 10 minutes the rose appears, silently but delicate. Finally, after an hour the osmanthus and the cedar ends the ball. The ending is the best part, so sweet it gives a vanilla-ish impression with the osmanthus blending in.
To me the scent is very close to the skin and, as I wrote, anonymous. But the bottle is gorgeous. The emerald green and the gold suit eachother, and the design is simple and sophistcated. I love to have in on my shelf from time to time. House Boucheron has a great tradition making wonderful perfume vessels.
