About Boucheron EDP
Boucheron EDP carries the name of its own house. Its strength is Eau de Parfum.
For work or for evenings
It works better in the day than at night, so it is a good pick for work, school and daily wear. Its citrus side keeps it clean and easy.
Longevity on skin
It stays on skin for about 6 to 9 hours, so one spray in the morning can carry you through the day. As an Eau de Parfum, it has more perfume oil than an Eau de Toilette, which helps it last. It lasts longer than Gianni Versace Blue Jeans. Base notes like amber and civet are the part that stays longest on the skin.
