by Boucheron
Place Vendome Eau de Toilette by Boucheron is a soft, elegant floral with a bright citrus opening that feels distinctly feminine and spring-oriented. The initial burst of yuzu and peony mingles with osmanthus and iris to create a subtle, powdery sweetness that settles into a creamy musky drydown. The fragrance is well-blended and quiet on the skin—its elegance lies in its refinement, not in sillage or longevity. It wears as a personal scent, close to the skin, with moderate longevity and a modest sillage, making it ideal for daytime and office settings. While not particularly bold or long-lasting, it feels like a modern, skin-friendly classic with a delicate balance of freshness and soft florals. Many users appreciate its affordability and the refined bottle, finding it suitable for warm weather and casual elegance. That said, the perfume has a fairly sweet profile that some find cloying or too reminiscent of candy or cosmetics. It lacks projecting power and tenacity for some, and the sharp yuzu note may clash with certain skin chemistries, leading to a temporary headache or an overly sweet morphing in the drydown.
