Description
For Spring 2013, the house of Boucheron prepared two new fragrances—Jaipur Bracelet Limited Edition and Jaipur Homme Limited Edition, which celebrate the beauty of India, its flower gardens and precious stones.
Jaipur Homme Limited Edition comes in a package inspired by arabesque motifs and turquoise colors of the sea that represent shades of flowers and plants in the sunlit city of Jaipur. The new fragrance reinvents the original oriental-spicy formula as woody-aquatic composition of rare elegance. The composition begins with a water splash, fresh melon and the sensuality of cloves. As the original, this heart also features spicy aromas of nutmeg and cinnamon, laid on the base of amber wood and vanilla. The nose is Annick Menardo.
The fragrance is available from April 2013 as 100 ml of Eau de Toilette.

7/10.it’s ok I get like 6hrs max

This stuff is treacherous. Although it pretends to be a summer flanker it can easily get vile in hot weather.
I like it as it´s not so sickly sweet as Jaipur (which is a kind of “old lady smell” to me) but still there is some “fresh sweetness” and spiciness. Personally, I´d recommend it rather for spring/fall.
I can see someone compared this to Old Spice Original Fragrance which makes sense to me. There is very prominent clove note in both of them. Anyway I can wear OS all year long which is not the case of this Jaipur.

Great scent, aquatic summer flanker for Jaipur Homme. I love them both, but stocks have been hijacked by greedy eBay sellers who have doubled the price. The whole point of having this was that it was a good quality cheapie. Not worth the money now IMO. £50+ could buy a truly great designer scent, and that’s what I’ll be doing. It’s good, but not that good!

Beautiful, mature, calm. That’s how I find the Limited Edition of legendary Jaipur of house Boucheron.
Initial spray brings a bitter-sweet freshness of tropical fruits (not mentioned, but I think of cloves here), melon. Quickly the watery accord becomes present and, what is extraoridinary, it lasts and lasts till the very end of the fragrance performance, which is a phenomenon not known to me before. So, it creates the aura of freshness. It’s not the “sea brise” kind if water, it’s more like mountain cold stream water smell.
Core is mellow and warmed with spices of vanilla and cinnamon, very gentle though with just a touch of ozonic amber. Drydown is astonishingly well blended, at the end I couldn’t recognize notes.
Overal impression is just amazing. This is so far the best mature but smart-casual vacation fragrance I have encountered. It suits white shirts and sunny days. It performs nicely in hot temperatures – it gives me and impression of being near the swimming pool. And it lasts and projects very well. It’s a gem beyond a pile of plastic.
If Lalique Encre Noire Sport is an emerald, Boucheron Jaipur LE is definitely a sapphire.

Never been crazy about Jaipur or any other Boucheron scent – but I love the bottle. So classy. So Deco…
Seeing this LE in a light blue flask and reading some positive reviews here and elsewhere, I surrendered – and don’t feel disappointed. Quite the opposite: Jaipur LE is a no-nonsense summer cologne, boasting fresh vibe, fruity sweetness and quality ingredients. It’s really nice, without a single vicious or dirty note, but much more exciting than most ‘summer editions’ around.
It’s real. It has presence. It’s not cloying! Longevity is decent, sillage is restrained (good for hot weather), everything is blended just fine.Recommended.

Fresh opening with good sillage.
Soft drydown but the freshness also stays for me.
I also own Jaipur edt and that is stronger than this one.
It’s not as strong as listed above.
Happy that I bought it for around 25 Euro from Germany.
Nice looking bottle.

A blind buy, and a good one,
i bought it for my guy,we both did spray it on, fresh with a aqua opening and soft melon note, not bothering at all, really on hot weather a welcome suprice, when sprayed on the temperature was around 30 degrees, lovely, now 6 hours later, i still smell it on me, the dry down is like the Jaipur home EDP, the melon note i can’t detect anymore, at my guy i almost can’t smell it anymore, so probably his body chemestry, that does not hold it longer,
i find it very wearable for a female, and same for a male
if you like Jaipur i can recommend this version for both,,,

I bought a bottle of this blindly and with high hopes, but I didn’t care for it.
This version of Jaipur will most likely disappoint devotees of the original, while failing to create the atmosphere needed to please fans of true aquatic and ozonic fragrances. I find the whole concoction a little awkward and nauseating. You have the DNA of the original (the spices and the powdery, floral vanilla) serving as the fragrance’s foundation, and it’s embellished at the top with an ozonic, calone-y melon note. This aspect is rough, almost crudely synthetic, and it feels forced in relation to its pairing with the base. Rather than presenting something striking or novel, Jaipur 2013 creates a clumsy, discordant scent. It’s almost as if you accidentally layered two fragrances together. Is this supposed to be casual or formal? Fresh and fun, or opulent and luxurious? It opens with its abrasive version of “fresh,” but at the same time the oriental qualities inherent in the original begin to emerge. What results is a fragrance that never feels fresh enough for the heat, or sufficiently committed to succeed as an oriental. After the aquatic top notes wear off, about an hour or so in, you’re left with an anemic, residual shell of the original, and a couple of grievous questions: What the hell was going on in the beginning, and why’d I have to endure all that just to get here? Perhaps if more time was spent in refining the aquatic top, and greater attention paid to blending it with the heart and base, this would have worked. But the summer notes seem rushed, and they transition poorly to the others.
Thumbs down.

Just worn this out after taking delivery (blind buy) 2 days ago. Unmistakably Jaipur, but more contemporary, and I would say, an all year round fragrance. It’s November, and whilst having a fresh, aquatic dimension, the warmth of the original Jaipur underpins this scent. I have had 2 unsolicited compliments already with this one, a rarity for me considering some of the classics in my collection. Longevity is excellent and I hope that I can continue to get hold of this, as it’s versatility and ingenuity make it a must have in my wardrobe.
Update. After nearly a month of owning this bottle, it has become one of my top 6 fragrances. A truly amazing scent!

I didn’t find anything special in this parfume. An ordinary scent, with moderate longetivity. I was surprised when I saw it was produced in 2013. For me it smells kinda outdated.

Hi
I have tried this one it smells summery and melon-y notes combined together seemingly if they are crammed and pressed very hard together. It also smells a bit peppery. In a nutshell it smells familiar yet nice there is nothing special about it, when you sniff it you will say hah ha i have smelt that somewhere urrr yet i forgot where.
GOOD LUCK.
EnrililigeVog – :
smell cheap and artifical … try to be ” declartion”by crateir
rezni4enkovadik – :
A great bottle, and still based on the same scent as the original, only in a lighter version, maybe easier to wear on a daily basis or for work eventhough it is still very original.
OLEG.BIATLON – :
I am so surprised! I love this thing… Normally, I hate melon, it smell is very repulsive to me, but here, Oh god!
Normally, I hate spicy fragrances, but the melon/water notes tame down the spices to give you a fresh/spicy scent that is very weird and unique in a very good way! Awesome, complex and good all year round!
темыч – :
I just tryed it today. For me it is indeed fresh and watery in the begining but then it become absolutely the same with the original. But it’s a summer scent olny for half hour.
roma cotelea – :
This one will probably be avaialble in the states somewhere around 2016. Why does it always take so long for something to hit the shelves long after its released? If it is a spring or summer frag, by the time it’s released it is already fall! Poor planning on someone’s part
PKoqbertD – :
cant wait to try this after falling completely head over heals for the original jaipur EDT/EDP
MajorLich – :
bought it yesterday.. There was no tester available yet so it was a blind buy.. This is just gorgeous, a light, yet strong version of Jaipur, very good sillage, leaves a beautifull trail.. So to the fans of Jaipur, you can t go wrong with this one !!
valera211 – :
I wore both Jaïpur fraîcheur épicée and Jaïpur eau de parfum (the heaviest one there is!). As a rule, I don’t care for watery notes and melon. I am not too big on light fruity fragrances either. An aquatic amber-based fragrance sounds like an oxymoron to me! However, since Limited Edition is part of the Jaïpur line of fine products, it has to be good. I can’t wait to try it.
SvetaDDDDD – :
Someone will have to let me know where they see this. The original is one of my absolute favorites in the winter time, even if it is a bit heavy. A fresher version of it sounds good to me — perhaps for a year-round scent.
sabrina – :
The notes terrify me. As Endymion says, an aquatic Jaipur? I utterly adore the original. I have to smell this. Annick Menardo is quite talented, so this could be interested, but I am still uncertain…
BEREZA1313 – :
To tell u the truth , i have never owned a Boucheron before , but i always wanted 2 , Beside i like all the top notes , so i will try by god’s well to buy it a.s.a.p when it comes home ( egypt ) !!!
popan – :
The original is nice but not something I would wear. This one looks promising though.
elvis2011 – :
