According to perfumemaster [the website], the notes are as follows:
TOP: bergamia, mandarine, narcissus, pomegranate
MID: cyclamen, woodland lily, rose
BASE: musk, vanilla
I love the bottle design [by Joel Desgrippes] … It’s said that this fragrance came out in 2009…My only hesitancy is that cyclamen note…It tends to go sour on my skin…
UPDATE: I took a chance and blind bought a bottle anyway…It was only $20 online, so what the hey, right? The box has Eau Legere Limited Edition printed on it in an iridescent font…On the Connoisseur De Parfum blog, an ‘eau legere’ version of any fragrance fits in between an EDT and an EDP…
The watery note [as mymlan pointed out below in her review] is mos def there…It’s warm, skin-on-skin vibe is most interesting, indeed…There’s a green note in there along with the citrus…Doesn’t remind me of the original Boucheron at all…This one is low-key, floral, with a hint of powdery-ness…
The bottle is very pretty with the gold etchings in the circular dimple and on the back…

I’m testing the Jeweler edition side by side with the current edp. Jeweler edition opens up with a citrus note, somewhat watery perhaps with a dash of cucumber? After a little while, the flowers are added like one by one and it developes into a green floral. As someone noticed below, this might be the legere version. The notes are certainly closer to that flanker than the original. The edp is much mustier, full of flowers and warm civet. This flanker is colder and more citrusy in comparision, and it is very cleaned up compared to the original. In the heart I smell orris and musk and it gets warmer after a while and the floral notes more pronounced. It is lovely: a lighter more citrusy Boucheron without warm civet and sweet vanilla, but the flowers are almost alive.

I have no idea what the official notes are for this fragrance, so I will describe what I think I smelled…
The top notes smelled sharp and green (not citrusy-green, just generic green…almost like galbanum but not resinous) and there was a sharp floral note, possibly hyacinth or something high-pitched like that.
The heart was only orris root on me, or possibly a very dry woody note. Again, I don’t know the official notes, but this is what I smelled on my skin. Orris root is very very dry and flat on my chemistry. It was so unpleasant for me, and there were no other notes to mitigate the super dry flat woody note, and it didn’t develop after that for a good long while. That was when I decided I had to scrub it off! (I rarely quit in the middle of testing a fragrance, by the way.)
After I washed it off, I could detect a warm oriental sandalwood note, so I’m sure the base would have been lovely, but I couldn’t stand the journey to get there!

I snapped this up blind too, and afterwards noticed that it said “Eau Legere” on the box. I have no idea whether this is actually classic Boucheron or the Eau Legere, but I *really* like it. The loveliness comes about 30 minutes after spraying it, soft and smooth oriental. It lasted until the next day on clothes. Worth trying if you find it.

Okay I couldn’t resist after reading DevonH’s review and because I saw this at TJ Maxx yesterday . . . need I say more. I went straight to TJ today on lunch and grabbed it up. I really like it. This is nothing like I have in my collection (that I can tell). Thanks Devon!!

I found this today at TJ Maxx for 29 dollars. I didn’t even smell it first, just grabbed it. I figured it had to be good.
The top notes do not agree with me – there are some weird notes going on there that make me wrinkle the nose a bit, a tad harsh, and I wasn’t sure I was going to like it.
PATIENCE. Those “weird” top notes are beyond worth waiting through to get to the *AMAZING* drydown. Soft, powdery, spicy Oriental…very sexy, and longlasting. I am in love with the drydown. If you can exercise patience, please grab this and be in for a treat when you’ve given it some time to “simmer down.”
One other word of caution so not to be confused: I don’t know where the name of this “Jewelers” edition came from. My purchase was a white and gold box, with this same exact bottle with gold cap and gold painting in the middle, but my box simply says “Boucheron Eau Legere” and “natural spray.” I know there is another Boucheron Eau Legere that is blue, an older limited edition, but apparently this is different. Just wanted to point that out in case anyone is looking to buy this exact product.

AH< Boucheron! How can they design soo many wonderful fumes!THis is sweet and sensual.ITS floral,rose,gardenia,honeysuckle and something I cant identify with,a suble undercurrant of sweet spices.Does not smell like a oriental fume.more of a sweet floral.Lasts a long time,and,has medium sillage.Very classy.Would b great for any age except the really young.It would b too much for pre teen!BUT still soft.

I like oriental parfumes and this one is sexy,warm and gorgeous.I’m glad I tried this one,because it’s last long and also I found it at a reasonable price.
It’s a little bit sweet for my taste but I like it this way;good to wear it in winter.
