Haussmann Boulevard Cologne

Old Parisian elegance is baked right into this fragrance's name, and the composition mostly lives up to that classical framing. Lavender, bergamot and pineapple open with a herbal, slightly fruity freshness that feels more playful than strictly formal. Jasmine, pomarose, rose and cedarwood build a full floral middle, rich and slightly woody, adding noticeable structure as the composition develops further. Ambroxan, sandalwood, coumarin and tonka bean close things out warm and sweet, giving Haussmann Boulevard Eau de Parfum a comforting, classic conclusion. Aromatic fougère is the fitting classification, versatile enough for office wear during the day while holding up into evening without much adjustment. It suits professional settings, casual outings and dinners about equally well. Fall and winter favor the tonka and coumarin close most, though the citrus top keeps it wearable into spring. That pomarose note in the middle is an peculiar addition, blending rose with a fruitier facet most classical fougères skip entirely.
