Unlike anything else in my entire collection, which is nice, because sometimes you’ve gotta mix it up! Not the same as the original, as others have said. Not as strong, which is a shame. But it will bring a new style of fragrance to your library if you’re looking for a new comfortable scent that’s a bit naughty without being overt. It sure beats out SJP Stash in terms of… everything.

I have been sparingly using the bottle I have from the original batch 2010 or 2011 purchased at Sephora. Every now and then when visiting Sephora I ask about this scent, and if it’s coming back. To my surprise a few weeks ago, the women working the perfume section told me yes it’s back just not through Sephora. I found the site, messaged them asking a bunch of questions. Convinced it was the real deal I purchased 2 bottles $65.00 each and the pulse point roll on $22.00. I was so excited when first trying it, it smelled almost identical just a little milder than the previous version. To my disappointment it just doesn’t having the staying power as the original. I tried one on each wrist and the 2018 version was barely detectable after an hour or so. The pulse point smells nothing at all like Boyfriend let alone anything else, and it is extremely oily. My fault for being too over zealous. I am glad I still have a little of the original I can mix with the new version to make it last a little longer.

This is lovely and not too masculine for my tastes. I think it is very unisex. It’s very warm and sweet but not gourmand-sweet. Warm and balsamic.
I can’t compare it to the original because all my sample buying efforts were met with perfume that smelled expired but I do love this one. Try spraying it on your pillow! It lasts for days and smells even better the next day.
On skin it lasts 5+ hours and I can’t stop sniffing my arm while it’s there. Beautiful!

This, to my nose, is very very similar to Alkemia Perfumes Les Mysteres. Soft and moderate, lovely and deep, with plum and myrrh as the stars. Silage and longevity are at the low end of the scale for me, though…

This, on my skin has a very Tom Ford for Men, and even Black Orchid vibe and especially dry down! I would say this should actually be marketed as a Man’s fragrance, that women should borrow and steal 🙂 This is beyond unisex, as there is nothing traditionally “feminine” about Boyfriend! It is balsamic and the vanilla is very subdued and not sweet!
Longevity and sillage are not great at all, but this is a wonderful scent to wear around the house, VERY office friendly, going to a movie or maybe running some errands with friends!

I will keep this short and sweet…a very unsuccessful blind buy. In my opinion it is too masculine. It is a man’s scent. I will probably end up giving it to my son. I guess different strokes for different folks…lol

I didn’t know about this fragrance when it first came out in 2010, but I knew I had to try it when I read it was being re-launched. The description seemed right up my alley so I ordered a pulse point rollerball.
I get mostly plum and myrrh in the beginning which has a unisex vibe. I really didn’t detect any jasmine. As the fragrance dries down, the vanilla emerges making the scent much sweeter. Overall, it’s warm, sweet, and balsamic. I wish the sillage was a little stronger, but it’s a pleasant and comforting fragrance that I will enjoy wearing this fall.

I have to say….this IS a reformulation for sure. The depth from the original is….GONE. The blend of notes is sort of mixed up, IMHO. The first spray goes on very promising….then it goes…”flat”. The projection and sillage,on me, is very low…sigh…sigh…becomes a skin scent rather too quickly…boo-hiss !!
The bottle/spray/cap …generic. I prefer the previous bottle with all the names on it…that was cool.
For the price….$65…you can better spend your $$$ elsewhere….sorry…This is just another “mainstream” scent…not really “special”.

Got mine today, finally! I will admit that I don’t have the original to compare – so working for memory.
This is a nice, cozy, vanilla perfume. Not as complex – I do not detect most of the notes: jasmine, lily (in the original),or plum. Nice, but maybe not that special. I believe the original was supposed to smell as though one is wearing the remnants of their boyfriend’s cologne the next morning. I don’t get that – this is more feminine. If you want that effect, I highly recommend SJP’s Stash!! I guess I hoped that Boyfriend was a bit spicier and more complex.
I will pull this out when I want something cozy and warm.
