Boucheron Quatre En Rouge

In 1858, Frederic Boucheron set out to create one of the most respected (and oldest) jewellery houses known today. Several of Boucheron codes have been embodied in every collection that has been put forward, and perhaps its most iconic range, the Quatre, represents an iconic code of the French Maison: architecture.

As one of the world’s top jewellers to land at the legendary Place Vendôme well over a century ago, Boucheron’s Quatre collection has become the brand’s most iconic line since its launch in 2004, highlighting different patterns found at the luxury Parisian square that celebrate the Maison’s rich heritage in a unique and timeless form.

A celebration of the maison’s savoir-faire and the skill of sculpting precious materials, the Quatre collection remains different yet, features a unique and classic form. Consisting of four rings – referencing Boucheron’s codes (think Grosgrain, line of Diamonds, Double Godron and Clou de Paris) – the jewels are distinctive, daring and deliver excellence with striking combinations of golds and textures.

The Quatre fragrance collection was started with the women’s fragrance Boucheron Quatre in 2015, inspired by and named after the collection of rings of the French Mainson. The desire to make the design and name of the ring collection closely connected to the fragrance line has resulted in several perfume creations for both women and men.

As the new and already very popular ‘pillar of the Boucheron perfume line, Quatre received several flankers, both female and male editions. In 2019, a new glamorous edition in ruby red bottles and boxes was presented, perfectly matching the ring designed for the Quatre collection, which was decorated with red ceramics set between diamonds and pink gold. The collection includes a ring and a pendant for the quatre-style necklace.

The red and glamorous perfume Boucheron Quatre en Rouge will seduce with its floral-fruity composition, touched with gourmand notes. It is signed by perfumers Michel Almairac and Mylene Alran. The ‘red aromas’ of this creation are embedded and intensified by the passionate perfume notes of the modern composition: red apple in the opening that alludes to love, roses in the heart as the ultimate femininity and raspberry in the base of the composition, enhancing its passionate effect.

In addition to sweet red apples, the opening includes refreshing, sunny notes of tangerine and bergamot, mixed with the juicy, fruity aroma of pears. Roses in the heart are combined with iris butter and black currants, followed by sweet-sour raspberries and a gourmand marshmallow accord. The sophistication of fruits and flowers is highlighted with patchouli and musk, which gives a base of elegance and depth.

 

The flacon of the new fragrance Quatre en Rouge repeats the shape of its predecessors, this time in a challenging red color, with the iconic Quatre ring on the cap adorned with crystals. The fragrance will be available as a 100ml Eau de Parfum.

Beyond the stunning jewelry and watches that Boucheron is well known for, the boutique will also have a dedicated showcase for their perfumes and their comprehensive eyewear range.

One of the focal points of this new boutique is its luminous setting. Inspired by light, the store design looks back at the modern Hôtel Particulier of the Maison Boucheron, with its light marble façade a representation of the 26 Place Vendôme boutique – which location Frédéric Boucheron chosen back in 1893 to open a boutique at because of how the sun rays made the diamonds sparkled from day to night. Taking that idea and applying it to a contemporary setting, the new one is swathed all over with white as its predominant color, and uses tastefully modern angular box-lightings for the ceiling, hung over the glass cases.

Boucheron Quatre En Rose

 

 

French ‘Haute Joailler’ Maison Boucheron launches a new perfume Quatre En Rose. Sinds I was staying as a child at the Paris Ritz Hotel and waking at the Place Vendôme, I am a huge Boucheron fan, their beautiful watches and its exclusive and luxury jewelry are eye-catching and inspiring. Anytime I see something crafted by Boucheron it is a sensation! For me their perfumes have the same expensive and luxurious status.

Boucheron Quatre En Rose a perfumed melody to light delicateness. Apart from being involved in perfumery, Boucheron is most importantly the brand of an accomplished jeweler, possibly one of the most well-known of the Place Vendôme. Therefore, once having created for over 150 years deluxe pieces of jewelry and watches for women and men, the designer explored the creation of new olfactory treasures to decorate the neck in perfume. However, there are usually connections between the two realms of the brand. Therefore, the Boucheron Quatre ring transformed into a perfume, in 2015. Now, it returns once again and unveils a new side of its character, more sexy, daring and delicate, the choice is Boucheron’s perfume Quatre En Rose.

Quatre en Rose Boucheron, a floral and fruity fragrance accentuating the queen of flowers the rose. Boucheron Quatre En Rose is a perfume that sets its mark as it unfolds. It comes after the more evening time edition of the perfume Quatre Absolu de Nuit. The moment is the morning at the cool of the first break of light. Quatre En Rose grants us the face of a happy and dazzling female, whose cheeks are softly rosy and her smile utterly captivating. The female Quatre en Rose effortlessly brings to mind the smiling appearance. Her perfume is together sexy and captivating, very feminine.

Quatre En Rose is styled as a more ‘casual’ daytime fruity floriental interpretation of the original.

Lingering in our thoughts never to be forgotten, created by Quentin Bisch, Quatre En Rose reveals the style of a floral effusion laced with oriental and fruity tones. As its name implies, this fragrance illustrates the fragrance of the rose, an authentic legend of feminine perfumery. The rose is here boosted by an addictive and sweet note of Davana, matched by the vigor and calm beauty of vetiver. Tangerine, on the other hand, gives more liveliness. Blackcurrant boosts its fruity and radiant presence. Jasmine streams all of its sexy wealth. Ultimately, Quatre en Rose by Boucheron finishes with a woodsy airiness of vetiver, musks and patchouli.

Top notes: Mandarin, Cassis
Heart notes: Rose absolute, Jasmine, Peach blossom, Davana
Base notes: Vetiver, Musk, Patchouli

The flacon of Boucheron’s Quatre En Rose fragrance surely follows the bottle of its forerunners. Designed in a heavy and large glass associated with extraordinary creations. This treasured bottle is influenced by the Quatre ring itself and especially it’s distinct iconic designs of Boucheron ingenuity. Four rings make up its stopper. Created in 1889, the Double Godrons sets up two bands of gold and signifies the union between two lives. The Clous de Paris are influenced by Parisian cobblestones. The diamonds in their pave design capture the light on their shiny gold base owed to the ‘mirror set’ technique, a one of a kind innovation at Maison Boucheron. Lastly, the concept Gros Grain, marvel of goldsmith caps the ring in the most exquisite manner. Boucheron’s Quatre En Rose glass shows up just frosted, reflecting the freshness protected within its bottle.

Quatre En Rose is a unique and beautiful olfactory interpretation of the jeweler’s eponymous collection. Boucheron Quatre En Rose is available as 30, 50 and 100ml Eau de Parfum.

 

 

 

 

 

French Maison Boucheron celebrates upcoming anniversary with a striking new campaign

With every passing year, French Maison Boucheron never misses a chance to prove its creativity in the world of jewelry. Yes, in 2018, the house will be celebrating its 160th anniversary and in a very modern, yet sophisticated way. After all, being the first jeweler of the Place Vendôme is a very distinctive fact and deserves a special celebration.

As Boucheron gears up to celebrate its 160th anniversary next year, the luxury French brand has released a new campaign to celebrate some of its most iconic pieces.

Graphic lines make this campaign an eye-catching marvel. It reflects through the contrast between minerals and precious materials the house’s bold style. The ultra-contemporary visuals turn the bronze of the Place’s columns into color and the Paris stone and the green marble that form the arcade of the historical boutique’s façade at No. 26 into graphic patterns. This strongly modern ad campaign perfectly embodies the vision of Frédéric Boucheron introduced in 1858.

It’s not all about the graphic feel of this campaign, as the latter is also a setting where the marvels of the Maison are highlighted in all their creativity. From the iconic Quatre to the Serpent Bohème and other high jewelry creations such as the Lierre de Paris, Boucheron’s most stunning pieces star in the campaign’s visuals.

It’s by combining the efforts of Les Graphicants graphic design studio and photographer Sébastien Coindre that the Parisian jewelry house brings this campaign alive and we must admit that there couldn’t be a more wonderful way to celebrate this history of creativity.

The jewels, for men and women, are distinctive, daring and deliver excellence with striking combinations of golds and textures. Boucheron’s Quatre and Serpent Bohéme collections are available at Boucheron boutiques and selected stores worldwide.

Come into the beautiful world of Boucheron.

 

 

 

 

Boucheron Quatre Absolu de Nuit

A new Boucheron fragrance is aways very exiting! Introducing the Boucheron Quatre fragrance for Woman in 2015, created by Nathalie Gracia-Cetto, was modern and daring olfactory interpretation of the Maison Boucheron’s iconic Quatre ring. Strongly assertive and contemporary, it reveals the strenght of character of those who wear it.

After last years Quatre Intense, Maison Boucheron is celebrating a new evening version, even more sophisticated. Quatre Absolu de Nuit, is the olfactory interpretation of the modern and bold iconic ring Boucheron is shrouded in mystery.

Boucheron Quatre Absolu de Nuit for Men

Quatre Absolu de Nuit for Men: a woody-oriental Eau de Parfum, both mysterious and vibrant, sublimated by clary sage, black pepper and Atlas cedar notes. Quatre Absolu de Nuit for men is a fragrance that we owe to the perfumer Jacques Huclier, a well-known designer from the great Maison Givaudan.

The latter chose to dare bold biases and assembled several diametrically opposed ingredients. He started the scent of Quatre Absolue de Nuit for Men by Italian lemon, a fresh and citrus ingredient, combined with more aromatic flavors of sage and lavender, two great classics of men’s perfumery. Nevertheless, this initial freshness is quickly counterbalanced by vibrant, charismatic and spicy notes of patchouli, black pepper and nutmeg. Thus, the initial clarity of this perfume is quickly associated with the incandescence of spices. The whole thing ends up being won by more masculinity. A woody trail of cedar, vetiver and vanilla prevails, creating the addiction of a simple breath.

Boucheron Quatre Absolu de Nuit for Women

Signed by perfumer Nathalie Gracia-Cetto, a very famous nose of the house Givaudan, Quatre Absolu de Nuit for Women: a floriental Eau de Pafum, both sensual and captivating, sublimated by bergamot, pear in syrup and vanilla notes. This one has chosen to work around exceptional raw materials and assembled them with extreme minutia, as could the best jewelers of the house Boucheron.

The whole is flying over a citrus freshness dominated by the presence of bergamot from Italy. Pink berries counterbalance this sensation by more heat while the whole is immediately coated with bitter almond. The gourmandise of Quatre Absolu de Nuit for Women is then relayed by a heart more fruity and floral, assembling jasmine and juicy pear. Finally, a more enveloping and delicate background takes over. Tonka bean is associated with amber woods as well as vanilla and sandalwood. The result is a terribly tempting, gourmand and irresistible perfume.

Boucheron ‘The Magnetic Quatre’

French Maison Boucheron, the famous luxury high-jewelry brand, and PPR are celebrating the environmental awareness documentary, Home, with a gold cube to be auctioned on eBay.fr to benefit the Initiative for Responsible Mining Assurance, an effort to promote and verify more responsible mining practices for gold and other metals.

Boucheron is a member of RCJ (Responsible Jewellery Council) since August 2006 to promote responsible social and environmental practices in a transparent and accountable manner throughout the industry from mine to retail.Boucheron celebrates the launch of the movie ‘Home’, with an online auction benefiting the ‘No Dirty Gold’ foundation.

Directed by Yann Arthus-Bertrand, the film is co-produced by Elzévir Films and EuropaCorp, Luc Besson’s company. ‘Home’ will be made up of aerial images which have been filmed in more than fifty countries around the world. A voice-off will offer constructive hindsight into the major environmental and social challenges facing our world, intended to illustrate the interconnectedness of life and how humans are threatening the ecological balance of the globe.

Precious metals and gems are amongst the earth’s most precious gifts and on this occasion, the French jeweler has especially created ‘The Magnetic Quatre’, a unique combination of four golds. The amalgamation of different golds and textures of this unique product symbolizes our planet’s four elements; wood, air, water and earth and reminds us of their fragile balance.

 

Boucheron’s effort both to raise environmental awareness and make it luxurious should be applauded, even if it seems a bit hypocritical to promote an uber-luxury product as eco-friendly… The French Maison has proven its possible.

The Magnetic Quatre, comprised of four types of gold to represent the earth’s four elements – fire, air, water and earth – is designed to illustrate the interconnectedness of life and how humans are threatening the ecological balance of the globe.

The Boucheron Magnetic Quatre will be auctioned off on eBay.fr the day after Home’s worldwide premiere, on June 6th to June 13th. All the proceeds will go to ‘The Initiative for Responsible Mining Assurance’, an effort to promote and verify more responsible mining practices for gold and other metals.

I guess if you’re in the market for a gold cube, better for your purchase to benefit the environment than not… Not in the market for such a cube? A ticket to the film is probably a better bet. All the proceeds will go to “The Initiative for Responsible Mining Assurance”, an effort to promote and verify more responsible mining practices for gold and other metals.

The worldwide release of the movie will be organized by EuropaCorp on June 5th, 2009 – World Environment Day – in cinemas, on television, on DVD and on the Internet around the world. The aim of this simultaneous worldwide broadcasting is to enable as many people as possible to watch the movie together. The objective of ‘Home’ is not to make a profit. It’s only benefit of ‘Home’ will be to contribute towards increasing awareness of our responsibility towards the planet.

On June 5th we all have a date with the Planet!
