Quatre Iconic

This is a hidden gem type of fragrance: inexpensive, not well-known, but impactful and with great performance. It's feminine and sweet, but not in the trendy, gourmand way. It has a subtly medicinal quality to it from the Peru balm, patchouli and vetiver, but the tuberose makes it sexy and addictive. If L'Interdit or My Way were Eves, this one would be Lilith.

To me this is sharp fruity patchouli, it is loud and piercing. Makes an undeniable statement. The juice , balsamic and the sweet together plus tuberose is nauseating, and I LOVE tuberose. No resemblance to L’interdit Rouge ( it would be a nun compared to Boucheron QI) I can see the direction of Black Orchid . Also, someone thinks it smell similar to Chloe Tuberose 🤔… oh no, how is it possible.. Definitely for fall , winter or evenings. It is strong so strong and obnoxious. I can’t smell any tuberose in it , the florals are overshadowed by spicy fruity balsams in my opinion. It must be the Peru Balsam that kills the whole composition. It mellows down after about one hour..but still projects insanly and never goes away. Bleh I haven’t smelled anything so oppressive in a long time. Went from tolerable to absolutely no. I think people who love this scent in general prefer big bold fragrances that knock out the door ahead of them, this one does for sure. I started doubting myself because I do not shy away from strong perfumes and can appreciate it at least, this one is still a puzzle for me how people can find it floral and gentle 🫣

Oh my days - how glad I am to have found this little beauty. Its smooth and rich, it smells glamourous - such a well rounded scent , nothing screechy, nothing sharp. Mellow but also quite high profile...I am going to enjoy owning this.

This reminds me so much of Prada La Femme Intense. It's sweet like a candy (in a good way), it lasts on me all day and the sillage is also very good. I didn't like the opening very much but the dry down is great. For me it's summer scent. I'd buy a whole bottle if I haven't anything similar already.

I dont see the resemblance to black orchid? This is 10x better . Its rich and elegant Feminine leaning Warm spicy and fruity . To my nose the ginger and amber are strong but u get a sweet fruity note too The bottle is exquisite for such a reasonable price range

Buttery bubblegummy tuberose but not like in Armani my way. This is deep, misterious and sensuous with a beautiful chocolate-y patchouli in the base. Amizing projection and lasting power. You have to like tuberose and patchouli to like this gem.

Oh wow, what a perfume! One spray and it packs a punch and fills up a room. It kinda reminds me of Black Orchid but IMHO it's better and not that medicinal in the beginning. Not for the faint of heart, and not for the chicks who swoon over the latest fruit-choulis and cupcake/capuccino/pistacchio/vanilla scents. Quite different and strong, needs testing if you can find it in stores, although for me it was a blind buy. Edit May 9: it's basically Black Orchid with a little twist, but same DNA and quite linear on my skin. Similar to Nuit Noor from Elie Saab. Potent and long-lasting, but IMO these are variations on the same theme, namely Black Orchid. Although very good scents, I wonder why designers keep beating the same horse, which doesn't belong to them. I mean, if a designer had success with a fragrance, what would the satisfaction be for other designers to redo the same scent, even with slight differences? Probably money, because pride is definitely not a factor for them.

I adore this one. Already bought my second bottle. This one is hidden gem, I got so many compliments on this perfume. It last about 8hour (aprox), on clothing for days. Bottle is luxury looking and all that for 17eur.

I decided to buy this fragrance after reading that it shares several notes with Black Orchid - a scent I know well and deeply admire, though I personally find it a little too much to wear regularly. I also came across comparisons with L’Interdit Rouge, which I enjoy for its gorgeous tuberose. These three fragrances are not identical, yet they clearly belong to the same olfactory family. The similarities are undeniable. But wow… what a fragrance. The opening is striking: ginger, pink pepper and mandarin surge forward and immediately set the tone. For a moment, you almost wonder whether you’ll be able to handle it. As for me - absolutely. The tuberose arrives quite early, almost playfully, weaving itself between the spicy top notes and binding them together. At first it carries a bubblegum-sweet, almost candy-like facet, but it soon darkens, becoming balsamic and resinous, which gives the composition depth rather than brightness. To my nose, there is also a subtle dark-chocolate nuance in the background - most likely coming from the patchouli. I suspect this is what sets it apart from L’Interdit Rouge: that faintly chocolaty facet in the drydown. Black Orchid Eau de Parfum feels darker, cooler and more earthy-green, with a dry, almost root-like spiciness, while Boucheron Quatre Iconic moves in a warmer, sweeter direction. This fragrance is chic beyond chic - pure luxury, almost sensual. I am absolutely thrilled with my purchase. Still, it is not a fragrance for everyone, nor one I would wear every day. Magnificent quality from Boucheron.

Very similar to NOBLE ORIENTICA, even if nobody says that in here, the composition is almost the same. The price is much mora affordable!

Wow, this is bold and beautiful opulent floral on a lovely rounded amber base. It sweet tuberose which leans quite mature. Such in underrated gem and I love it for it! It is not groundbreaking, never seen DNA, it reminds me on few other tuberoses I have, mostly Watch by M.Michaleif and L interdit absolute, but it has much better performances. Sure it could be more unique, but if you like warm white florals on bold amber balsamic base like Alien, Organza, L instant give this one a sniff.

This is my toxic love hate relationship 😂 When I first bought it, it smelled like chocolate on my skin, I was obsessed but as it aged it turned into this bubble gum toxic hazard that I like??? I think???? Or is it a lover I keep only because of the memories we have together, she changed… I still wear it but it punches me in the nose, keep in mind she is tricky and can change on you. Buy a tester or a small one, your nose mind change its mind on this one. PS, huge compliment getter though, especially men love it. Liers supporting liers…

I am selling my 100ml bottle (UK only) - take a look at my profile, I'm downsizing my huge collection, selling loads of discontinued gems!

Weird. When I first got this, it was so strong it was gag inducing. I've been wearing it daily for about a month now, and I can barely smell it anymore???? I'm hoping I've just gone nose blind to it, and that there's not an issue with it losing potency.

I am not sure whether I have smelled something worse than this one lately. Sweet and synthetic patchouli bomb. And I am usually a fan if patchouli A real NO GO

Yes, initial opening is nuclear. After 15 minutes, it settles, and the tuberose really takes over, with a sweetness and spice. About an hour into this scent, I get a very strong resemblance to Opium! Mixed with a CK Obsession vibe! Overall, I'm thrilled I got this, and several backups. I think it should have been released as its own fragrance, as it has no resemblance to the original Quatre. If I'd had the choice, I'd have chosen to keep this as a regular offering of its own, and discontinued the original Quatre.

I remember being a broke college student back in 1991, just getting into perfumes. No internet existed, so no looking up reviews, notes, and no discount perfume sites. I saved up my money, just to buy myself the original Boucheron perfume. It was over 100 bucks, a big expense back then. So sad, to see boucheron now relegated to a discount house, as far as perfumes. Bad for them, good for me. For under $40, I bought several of these.

I blind bought it and I am so happy I love it! The opening is so spicy it's so good ! Then there is this heavy scent of caramel mixed with something medicinal, but in a good way, like a balm made by a witch, especially for you. And at the end the amber is very beautiful and embrace you with warmth. Definitly a weird scent, mystic, witchy, and mysterious! I get lucky for the blind buy but maybe test it first because it's a very uncommon scent.

Low key the most iconic inexpensive scent ever. Definitely an underrated gem, it caught my eye when reading raving reviews of it on a Hungarian cosmetic forum (fyi reviews on there are generally extreeemely critical). Good quality and unique scent, more wearable, pleasant and less spicy than Black Orchid (and it's reasonably priced unlike TF). I don't see any resemblance to the l'interdit line, it's a very different tuberose to me. It's a warm balsamic tuberose. Would make a great signature for someone that wants to make a statement. My vibe is way more casual and mousy (🥲) than this, but I could imagine wearing this for nicer occasions.

Is anyone else getting a disgusting note/accord when first trying this fragrance? Because I did. Don't ditch it! I put mine away for a month or two, took it out again and that note is now completely gone (it was nauseating) leaving a beautiful, animalic, sophisticated tuberose. Wow, it just goes to show you it's not just middle-easterners that sometimes just need a little time. It really is gorgeous now - I'm very happy. Update: On second thoughts it’s not for me. While it’s undoubtedly a very good fragrance and I do admire it and sitting has improved its smoothness it just doesn’t draw me to it and I might perhaps revisit it later on. So much for blind buying I suppose.

smells kind of like a fruity candy i'd get from my grandma's purse, and i mean that in a good way. comforting and pleasant.

Este perfume huele a dinero, alguien super sexy y misterioso, es empalagoso y llama demasiado la atención. Abre con la pimienta y la mandarina que no duran tanto, ya que lo que le sigue es una nota floral que no se percibe mucho por el peru balsamico que la vuelve super dulce mezcladose con el ambar que la vuelve aun mas dulce y avainillada, despues con el patchouli y el vetiver que le dan ese toque como herbal, amaderado y aunn mas dulce. Este perfume es una bomba balsamica se siente demasiado cozy y un poco floral. Dura y proyecta demasiado bien y es un aroma muy unico, que no te engañe que diga que es solo para mujeres ya que un hombre que se lo ponga tendra mas de un cumplido asegurado.

I'm revisiting this today, as I felt that it would be the perfect scent for my eldest granddaughters 14th birthday party and it was. Iconic is definitely an Oriental Floral fragrance, which is perfect for transitioning into Sping.. It's an Oriental Floral with a twist! Which it the Peru Balsam note.. This note with the Tuberose, Amber, Mandarin and the softest Patchouli, really make this scent quite unique. A statement piece which is elegant, unisex even and very well made..Especially with it matures and I've not come across anything similar to it. I definitely will buy a back up this one and it's more than value for money. It's a sleeper scent which I highly recommend.

Oops, I accidentally got too excited when I recently saw this for a ridiculously cheap price to realize this was not the original Quatre, which I’ve heard great things about. It was too late, I had placed the order before I realized my mistake. It’s was $14/100ml tester so it wasn’t a big deal. It came in today, and I had to try it! First sniff, I thought it smelled a bit odd, cheap, dated. However, within a minute or two, all the notes started to develop and oh boy! It is so sexy! It has an earthy vibe, somewhat like Tabu! It definitely packs a punch so do not overspray. Within thirty minutes the amber starts to really shine! I happen to adore amber, especially when it’s combined as beautifully as this. I don’t get a lot of tuberose, just a bit to round it out. This is the perfume you wear when you’re having that hot date at the dimly lit cocktail lounge, with the lush velvet sofas that only the sexy people hang out at! You wear your most flattering black dress and your smoldering eye shadow pallet! Total femme fatale! (At least that’s how I picture it, haha) I’m thrilled to have it in my collection, because I love these warm sexy fragrances for fall and winter, and seem to have more spring and summer scents at the moment. Such a happy accident! Spring is just beginning and this makes me wish for fall again! The bottle is fabulous, I love the twist top! I don’t think it’s a safe blind buy, but I think if you like bold, sexy scents, it would be worth a try! You may just fall in love with this!

For such a discounted perfume- it’s extremely good quality. I dig the bottle, the fragrance is gorgeous in cold weather, longevity & sillage immense. I actually prefer this to Black Orchid. Just blind buy it. Totally worth it.

Just for info Ane Ayo and Pierre Negrin are behind this fabulous fragnance. I adore this perfume!

Similar to Givenchy L'Interdit on my skin. I loveeee it great smelling fragnance.. Sweet and sexy. At this moment we passed 4 hours and it is still loud. Great choice. I would say that it is safe for blind buy. I bought it that way. 12hours later still on my arm..and counting.

That's some strong stuff... Very saturated and sweet, too much for my liking. But the bottle design is awesome

Something weird. Decluttered.

I first sprayed this in summer and nearly passed out from the bomb that exploded in my face. I thought I'd never get past it and was shocked because I love the Boucheron Quartre collection and own almost all of them; none of them pack a punch like this one. Now it is January and I'm trying it again and where I still think this is very strong I also see the beauty in it. It's creamy and cozy and elegant. I may not be the right person to carry this off but I can appreciate and respect it and every now and then (when it's really cold out) give it another try and enjoy it for what it is - potent, strong, elegant, cozy and beautifully done.
