Description
New Boucheron perfume especially represents the trouble for men since it is very dangerous. Here, everything begins even before the very pleasure of sense of smell. Bottle has ultimately elaborated design: gold, precious emerald on the lid and dark ruby glass…The bottle speaks much about the character of the perfume before the very scent.
The perfume is fresh oriental, but the troubles begin from the first impressive notes which lead into ravishing floral heart of the perfume. Passionate woodsy notes are getting involved with deep and sensual floral melody. That involvement gives a powerful nature to the perfume.
Trouble is available in Eau de Toilette (50 and 100 ml), Eau de Perfume (15 ml) in spray with glamorous spraying pump. The perfume was introduced in 2004. The nose behind this fragrance is Jacques Cavallier.

That was one of my Holy Grail fragrances – I’m crushed that it has been discontinued. I still lift the cap of my empty bottle to catch a whiff occasionally. AMAZING. Dark, sexy, mysterious, feminine in the extreme.

Dior Addict + YSL Cinema.
A Jasmine, Amber and Citrus bomb. Definitely some Vanilla Note as well! Sensual, sexy and unique at the same time. This fragrance should be released under a different name again. I love the juice but it doesnt feel superbe leaving the house after I sprayed TROUBLE on my skin…
skazka18 – :
What a lost gem this is. It’s so sensual yet dignified and wears nicely on skin. Trouble is a lot of heady amber and lemon, with some woody-herbal-floral accents.
I agree very much with the reviewer below who compared Trouble to Dior Addict. They definitely have a similar heady sexiness and almost velour-like texture to them.
I love the name and the deliciously vampy bottle, which is charmingly dated in an early 2000s femme-fatale kind of way. Trouble is a gorgeous fragrance and it’s an absolute shame that it’s discontinued.

Trouble floored me.
Wow. Exquisite.
alec333333 – :
Beautiful! What gorgeous smooth creamy luscious amber! Oh my lord it’s wonderful! So comforting, and calming. Absolutely yummy! Golden, honeyed, dark, thick and delicious! Lemony too. Warm and flowery and sweet vanilla. So sweet and irresistible! Very exotic, and extremely soft and slightly incensey – just fabulous!

I feel like if you mixed Roberto Cavalli Serpentine with Hugo Boss Intense in a 2:1 ratio you would get something close to this. Certainly intriguing. These three scents came out around the same time, and in fact, I got this esoteric feeling called “a hunch” and looked at Jacques Cavallier’s back catalog… sure enough, he actually created Serpentine in 2005, a year after he created Trouble. If you appreciate this fragrance for its freshness and spiciness, check out Serpentine.
hmkgqdr983 – :
I can’t remember reviewing this before, but Trouble is very similar to Dior Addict. It’s a tamer version and more mysterious. Addict is full on sex in a bottle and doesn’t apologize for being explicit, but Trouble is a more chic version. I’d wear it on a date and Addict on a date that’s a “sure thing”. That’s if I were single…
awableDob – :
This is a signature perfume, not mine; but worthy of being someone’s signature. The drydown sits confidently on my skin, a surprisingly cool and fresh amber. There’s just a touch of sweetness and I feel like this could easily be worn by any gender. I don’t know what Dyer’s Greenweed is; I can only imagine that it is primarily responsible for the wholly bewildering opening. It’s spice, warm spices flowing over my skin; creamy and unexpected. And then a medicinal note creeps in. I feel as if I’ve entered a room where someone was just applying strong ointment; this phase lasts quite awhile and has an underlying floral prettiness but remains odd and strong. And then into that soft drydown, not soft as sillage; the scent itself has a quality of softness, velvety. I can almost sense a ladies’ parlor in the late afternoon; someone sitting on a velvet setee has just finished a mint candy. The sillage at first is quite obtrusive, but calms down to a nice whispery cloud of scent and lasts for many hours.

Jasmine
Base Notes

Trouble? What trouble? You can’t get into any kind of trouble wearing this perfume. I’ve been in more trouble wearing Bal a Versailles and Giorgio Beverly Hills LOL This fragrance reminded me of a very light textured Alien by Thierry Mugler or an Alien without the musk/animalic notes or the indolic jasmine. This is a very beautiful pairing of jasmine and amber, as beautiful as any I’ve ever come across. The feeling I get wearing this perfume is that of a very fresh young thing being introduced to society. I was never a debutante type but this is where this perfume takes me to in my mind. I see a large mansion a large dinner table dozens of people and a pretty girl who can have anything she wants. Maybe that’s why there’s going to be trouble as no one female should have everything LOL
The opening is a dryer’s greenwood and citrus which is unusual. It smells like neroli or orange blossom, like the smell of oranges not on your nose but in the air. It’s like oranges and grass, shrubs and a tad sour. It’s delicious though. The jasmine blooms in the heart of this scent. Pure white jasmine. It’s very nice. It’s silky and smooth like a veil. The jasmine dominates the fragrance.
The dry down is amber with a hint of wood. It’s a lot of amber which smells golden, gooey warm and really does match up with the top notes. This has a golden aura. It’s so beautiful. I love everything about this perfume. It’s not complex, but it has a vintage air. It’s well made and smells expensive. It is quite strong so all I do is dab my wrists or neck with it.
Recommended for day/evening wear but with formal wear.
Gorgeous.

Let me just confirm that yes this is calming, soothing fragrance with a very beautiful amber. If you don`t like amber, here you will love it. It is like a piece of a very sweet but delicious cake for those who are not into sweet stuff. One can think the cake is too sweet but will eat it all being unable to resist its marvelous taste.
A very balanced, mature, powerful piece of art.
Alebastr – :
I just got a sample of this and it smells wonderful. I know the notes don’t mention anything about spices, but to my nose it smells very spicy (which I like). Only thing that makes me sad is it’s almost impossible to find a larger bottle at a reasonable price. I don’t know why perfume houses discontinue the best ones.
serikus – :
Of course, a great example to be followed by the perfume houses. A DELICACY!
Xeroxktzmb – :
This is one of my all time favorite perfumes, and I am SO upset that it’s discontinued and impossible to find at a reasonable price. It’s so rich, thick, smoldering and intoxicating! I still have my empty bottle so I can lift the cap and smell it once in a while. I miss you, Trouble!
wyk191Negeltzex – :
I find it kind of quiet, linear and boring on my skin, but it does remind me of Cinema in a way. Like it’s Cinema’s first cousin or something. I like it as a base to mix with other fragrances. I don’t usually mix fragrances, so in many ways that is a compliment. But there is no intriguing or even reckless “trouble” here, as someone else said. It’s not dangerous so much as it is glance from someone stern but likable.
Plutos – :
It’s the fragrance more genuine that I’ve ever smelled. I think an example of perfume from the most high quality. UNMATCHED!
PutNIK666 – :
This is a review of the dupe from Nantucket natural oils.
I have no idea how I ended up with a blind buy of this one, but my god am I happy I did! I can not compare to the original I´m afraid, but my natural perfume oil is so awesome that I am ordering my 2nd bottle. There is quite a large amount of amber and this is one of the warmest, most comforting scents I have ever tried. There is nothing citronella-ish about it (thank god, cause there is hardly a thing more discusting to my nose!), the lemon is supersmooth. It does resemble cinema a lot, but I prefer this one as I think it is warmer and has more depth.
So for anyone who can not find the original the Nantucket version might be worth a try. It might seem expensive, but my tiny bottle lasted for ages and for a natural perfume the sillage is pretty damn good and it lasts longer on my skin than most of my synthetic perfumes.
Serhz_309 – :
I was given an original carded sample of this beauty in a swap. It is THE most lovely warm amber I’ve had the privilege of experiencing. I would so love a full bottle of this lovely juice. So disappointed that it’s been discontinued, thus making it very difficult to find.
Leloxand – :
It takes two to get one in trouble. (Mae West)
The ones thinking that I am about to advise you to stay as far away from Boucheron’s Trouble as possible are simultaneously very right and entirely wrong. I do aim at telling you to abstain from ever opening a bottle and let the snake wind out of it. I’m even going to tell you why (I’m on the generosity trip today – hang on to it, it won’t last long). Because the moment you will do so, you will find yourself unmistakably, completely, irreversibly addicted. And the bad news is that this Paradise is discontinued. As in: Boucheron has decided not to produce and market it anymore. Which further brings us to the discussion of irresponsible marketing strategies of present-day perfume houses – but we shall abstain from such pseudo-philosophical ramblings on a Sunday morning. Instead we will skip Church and take a one-way trip to a fragrant Eden. Yes, that is a stylized snake on the bottle-top. Just say ‘yes’ to everything it demands. Desire number one: lift the lid, open the bottle. And then let yourself go at ease.
I am a self-declared lover of oriental scents. Wherever I read, see, or sniff stuff like tolu balm, cinnamon, vanilla, saffron, pepper, musk, amber, caramel or chocolate, I swoon and fall – it is the fall into original sin each and every time. I doubt the serpent could have lured me with apples (unless they’re pie which comes with vanilla ice cream, I don’t really care for them), in my case it would have to be perfume, and preferably one smelling of Arabian nights, magic carpets, golden shimmy coin belts and crushed Damascus rose petals. But there are so many sub-categories in oriental fragrances, that not even the most knowledgeable perfumista could demand to be completely conversant with all of them. There are, for instance, oriental florals, oriental spicy scents, oriental gourmands, oriental woody, oriental aphrodisiacs, and the list could go on endlessly, making you wonder if this is a list of perfumes after all, or maybe a more or less chaotic array of psychiatric diseases. There are orientals which smell like a spice bazaar in Marrakech or Fez, others which evoke confisseries in downtown Bruxelles, still others which smell like the interior of an Asian pagoda where a century-old incense ritual is being performed – but overall, orientals, and perfumes generally, evoke other things which you can actually SMELL. And this is where Trouble scores an average 100 out of 10 in originality. It smells of nothing even remotely related to olfactory perception.
Often (and simplistically) described as an Oriental floral, Trouble, evades, in my opinion, any possibility of distinct categorization. It is far too fresh to be labeled oriental and far too erotic to be considered floral. It smells of no flowers known to man, and there is no trace of spice or sweets in it to justify the Arabic connotation. This one certainly does not smell Arabic. No belly dancer, geisha, or Seherezade would or could ever smell like this, unless they emigrated to France and got married to Derrida or Foucault. Trouble is a thoroughly European fragrance – it goes as far as a Westernized, high society woman would go in being Oriental. It’s like Chinese restaurants outside China: a very toned-down, tamed, subdued version which bares almost no connection to the original.
So what DOES Trouble smell of? This might sound weird, I know, but the answer is: of rubies. It smells of a gem stone. It was the very first mental association I got from this scent, and it hasn’t changed since. If rubies could smell, they’d smell of Trouble (which leaves me wondering about a new post on other unusual scented associations – so I’ll be back on that one 😉 ). A stone of deep, blood-red beauty, cold, carefully crafted, set in the most precious silver, adorning the finger of a Gothic witch or princess – that is Boucheron’s take on original sin. Paradoxically, Trouble is not trouble – at least not in the erotic, sensual sense it seems to imply. This is yet another example of a scent being almost completely unrelated to the image it is trying to project. Snakes, rouged red lips, an allusion to the fall of man – all of this literally screams eroticism. Yet, there is none imprisoned in the bottle. If you are looking for Trouble’s strengths, you will have to slightly change direction.
I could easily relate this one to Lancome’s Magie Noire, which plays the same misleading game of appearances. Basically the Virgin Mary disguised as a Magdalene. Trouble smells much more of the Hall of Mirrors in Versailles than of the medina in Fez or the night market in Marrakech. I can envisage a fair-skinned, dark-haired beauty in a floor length scarlet dress and wearing scarlet lipstick putting on Trouble and wearing it to its best. But the beauty is not one of the brides of Dracula in a Transylvanian castle – she is a French mademoiselle attending a masked ball at the private chateau of one of her acquaintances. After which she will graciously put down her vampiresse gown and return to the safety of her high society corset.
These being said, Trouble can actually become trouble, if worn by the right woman. It does wind around you like a snake, and applied in sufficient amounts ( I am not a fan of keeping it clean and ‘less is more’) it is seductive enough to make all men around fall (for or because of you) to the point of no return. But Trouble’s is a highly sophisticated seduction. While most orientals are making love in glaring daylight with a huge mirror suspended above the bed, Boucheron creates an atmosphere of shadowy twilight. And I will stop here before I start relating my fragrant vampiresse to any wannabe vampire TV shows. We wouldn’t want to defile sin, would we?

This is a fun and flirty kind of perfume that smells like lemon poppy muffins and summer nights. I can’t believe I managed to get a bottle after it was discontinued. I can’t help but fall in live with this everytime I smell it. My mouth even starts to water as I think of tangy, citrus notes.
Tomases – :
To this perfume I find him basically three aromatic phases with very good quality ingredients. (Balanced, without being very acid) perfumes opening as fresh note. Follows the floral touch with very intense Jasmine which gives way to an orange blossom flower with the passing of the hours. Here come into play with a touch vanilla resins that give the point of sweetness and final appeal to this masterpiece.
It is a sensual, sweet and mild, perfume on the border be a flush of skin smell. The main charm of this perfume, I would say, is in a contrast between transparency and a warm base (moderately spun), with the note of jasmine adding softness and richness. Note to lemon instead of abandoning us after opening, persists, thus giving clarity to the perfume. Trouble smells delicate and fine, at least on my skin.
slorsergo – :
This is fantastic! I think it smells like a powdery less sweet version of kilian love. I love the citrusy amber jasmine, its got so much oomph. I can get the comparison to YSL too. The slightly masculine base notes make it so cosy. Think I’m in trouble…
alexxx___1995 – :
I absolutely LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE this, the only problem is I’ve only ever owned one bottle of it, 8yrs ago and can no longer find it (unopened) for under $150 & considering how much I loved it & sprayed our bedding & scarves etc with it I have not splurged on it. Perfect LBD kind of night, wintery nights infront of a fire, I even loved a super light spray in crazy humid weather it lasted all day, So sensual, makes me feel like a goddess, the whole world sparkles in a dark & seductive way whenever I am near this smell. love love love it!
arutyunyanav – :
To StopHammertime, and all the others who have mentioned the Cinema comparison, I couldn’t agree more. I usually never comment in the review section, but I had to since it keeps disappearing off the “this perfume reminds me of” section. It baffles my mind that people would vote it off when so many people have also made the comparison.
Doing a side-by-side, YSL Cinema and Trouble are nearly identical. Trouble might have a tad bit more citrus, but it’s hard to distinguish. So similar they’re practically the same scent. My review for Cinema would actually be the same for Trouble as well.
Thank you, Mona-Jo (above), having the same perfumer explains why they’re so similar. And I just read that both were introduced in 2004. How interesting.
Tar4ek – :
Very reminiscent of YSL Cinema. Amber, vanilla, citrus, and jasmine. I typically hate jasmine, but Cinema and Trouble got it right. Sexy stuff.
RtN – :
I have the vintage version. Good stuff. Don’t know how it compares to the “new” version.
vaydik – :
I bought two mini’s and two perfume solids of this frag, and I do enjoy it. I wanted something deep, amber-y, womanly. This reminds one of sitting on the floor, surrounded by pillows in front of the fireplace.
Yet, I haven’t opened the second solid nor bottle…
goe273speagoessenda – :
I’ve given this several tests with different samples and a mini bottle. Despite giving it a real try, it still smells like a muddy mess. I like the musk, and the musk/vanilla drydown is lovely, but that only comes after 2-3 hours of an awful chemical soup. All the time I’m wearing it, I’m on the edge of a headache or stuffy nose, it’s not pleasant. Of course, as I don’t like it, it has massive staying power! Whatever others “get” from this, is a mystery to me. I have to agree with Luca Turin when he says it is “dismal”.
It doesn’t seem to have any coherent effect – there’s no structure to it. I agree with another reviewer who said, “the notes don’t seem to want to form a composition”. It does smell like Boucheron, but not one of the good ones. Sorry, 2/10 🙁
Ivan1809 – :
Warm, inviting, sultry, sexy and very intriguing. It’s a wonderful amber fragrance, with just the right amount of sweetness, and I love how well the citrus works with the amber. It feels very creamy and full-bodied, but it is not cloying or too heavy amazingly. It’s absurd that it got discontinued. I was lucky to find a tester still for sale.
Deroxangmu – :
I had a bottle of this iconic fragrance back in the early (2000)s and I a am a male. but I thought the fragrances was wearable for either men or women as I usually work in the niche fragrance sector myself it is easy to differentiate between what some men cant and can get away with. I loved the fragrance instantly and as I new straight away that it was something with was going to work well on my skin. soft yet oriental and powdery. I loved it very much as it was the closest to a fragrance witch I was using by the late fashion designer Alexandra McQueen called Kingdom witch wasn’t that long out before it got discontinued and now trouble is also gone. but I did manage to find these fragrances still on sites or at small pharmacies or independent perfumes stores within the London area not that long after they had stopped producing them in the first stages. but these days you may still be able to find them but you may have to pay a hefty price for them as they are now rare and not been made anymore. but in my experience in working in fragrance usually some feed back gets back to the perfume houses as when I have worked in department stores where by the customers allways ask about a particular perfume either it be from Procter and Gamble or Uniliever or LVMH. sometimes the companies will Relaunch those iconic perfumes. or in some cases either it be the fashion hoses or the jewellery companies the brand has revived itself and because there has been a lot of request for that particular perfume they may Relaunch it as in the case of Yohji Yamamoto witch has not that long ago come back into production and the old and the 1st original Donna Karen perfumes of the early 90ts and soon to be Helmut Lang if they haven’t yet been Reaunched.

I had a ballet instructor in college who wore this. I remember thinking how beautiful she always smelled. So I finally asked her what it is she was wearing. The scent was so memorable that I didn’t even have to write it down and once I graduated from college, I still remembered the name. Of course, I didn’t want to wear what was clearly her signature so I waited until I was done with her classes to order it. This is seriously the most beautiful rendition of amber I’ve ever smelled. I was so relieved that it smelled almost as good on me as it did her. This is one of those classic, gorgeous scents…and of course, it is discontinued. There is nothing out there like it and it’s a shame because I’m almost out of the last bottle I could find. It is pure citrusy amber goodness and it reminds me of being in an antique store. A wonderful scent associated with wonderful memories.
mozg147 – :
I bought a sample of this and loved it, although it did seem to have a dominant scent of aniseed, and yet that is not listed in its notes ???
I’ve so much to learn about perfume!
Agree with reviewer who states it resembles Dior Addict.
A beautiful perfume.
vanya_verhniy – :
The trouble is this is not available anymore same with so many other awesome scents Trouble has been discontinued for quite sometime.
I managed to find two tester bottles 100m each so I have a back up for awhile.
Think of a cross between Dior Addict Cinema and Must de Cartier and you have Trouble.
The lemon and amber combo work very well in giving it strengh and sweetnes without being too heavy.
It’s warm and rich and when you wear it you’ll see heads turning because it’s too beautiful for words
germagster – :
Years ago I was offered a sniff of this perfume in a department store in Paris, and was sold right away– what a wonderful feminine sexy scent!
It is very powdery, sweet and a bit of floral, with a hint of zesty citrus on the side and cedar as a basenote– very sexy.
Sillage is moderate to heavy, so handle with care. Lasts for about 8-12 hours on my skin.
I only wear this on special occasions. Or maybe a really small bit to the office, if I’m up for it– it is, after all, trouble.
мукалтинка – :
I bought Trouble several years ago and ended up giving it to my sister just because I had so many others to choose from. She gave it back to me a few weeks ago and now I remember why I loved it in the first place.
It’s the lemon! Otherwise, Trouble would be a fairly mundane oriental (and only appropriate in cold weather), but the brightness of lemon against the resin of the amber rescues it from being ordinary.
Amber, lemon, jasmine and cedar…what’s not to love? I’m wearing Trouble this evening and sitting outside in 90 degree weather. It’s beautiful – I’m so happy to have it back!
Jonny-smerch – :
Quite similar to Casmir – a sweet amber, nice for winter/autumn, easy to wear – not challenging or complex in any sense, neither too strong or too weak, I can see why it’s popular
I don’t find the lemon strong at all so unless you’re very sensitive to lemon it won’t be obvious.
Mostly sweet, smooth warm vanilla/amber (the amber isn’t prickly or powerful either). I don’t find it captivating or intriguing but it’s pleasant enough
Sillage moderate, longevity good
klim – :
Eternal. My signature. Heavy, deep, lush…Love it. Too bad is off the market.
1984ANDRIUHA – :
I am in absolute love with this fragrance. It was suggested to me after the tonka bean in the Addicts and Poisons didn’t agree with me. It’s perfect. On me, it’s all warm amber and bright lemon. I want to wear it everyday – alas, as it is discontinued, I try to at least save it for date night!
Filskiy – :
i agree with this being a mix of dior addict and cinama ysl i had them all and i prefer truble
its more balnced in strenth were dior is soooo strong and in the warmth and sweetnes were cinama is too sweet
Dron12345678910 – :
perfect mix between Cinema & Addict. this is truly g*o*r*g*e*o*u*s!!!
thanks to no5forever2, I could discover this true beauty, it was love at first sniff, and ever since I opened the bottle I knew I was in…Trouble…
fildi83 – :
Having read the reviews, I’ve been on the lookout for this one for a long time and was overjoyed to find it tucked away in a shop in the Canary Islands, of all places, complete with shower gel and a body lotion.
It’s an old fashioned big hitter in the style of Lauder’s Knowing, Must de Cartier, Balenciaga’s Rumba, Balmain’s Ivoire, that type of fragrance.
Not too overpowering, though you don’t need to use much. About as far from a modern floral fruity concoction as you can get.
Bottle is lovely too.
Discontinued, as usually happens with any really good fragrance.
olga305 – :
Trouble by Boucheron is a glowing jewel of a fragrance. I find it utterly captivating – a lovely blend of golden amber, warm lemon and just a soft whisper of elegant flowers swirling in the mix.
The lemon is handled most exquisitely and artistically in this perfume – it imparts to the composition a brightness, lightness and warm glow – making this a perfectly rounded fragrance with a grace that delights the wearer. And the lemon is in the right amount – not too much and not too little – striking the perfect balance in a harmonious dance with the glorious amber and the other notes.
When I wear it, I feel like I am wrapped in a soft, sumptuous stole of the most luxurious fabric ever! Needless to say, I have a back up and I will never understand why it has been discontinued.

Al inicio si se detecta el limón, luego ya no tanto, pero la vainilla se me hizo tan densa como en cinema de YSL, demasiado pesada, comestible.

This perfume lives up to its name you see I’m what you would call heavy handed n cant smell the perfume on you so i swear i dont smell it and then so must apply more so with that being said i totes the SOTD out with me and apply ever 15min lol so now here comes the Trouble … so one night me and a friend girl goes out n she keeps complementing me on my Trouble… so low and behold i cant find my 1.7 bottle the next day i look and i look and i look until i just gave up and committed a Friend Foul and Accused My Friend of Stealing My Trouble … yes thats right i loved this perfume i didnt think i lost it .. i was willing to jeopardize my friendship for this perfume and i did for over 2 weeks until i found it when looking for a lighter that feel under my car seat when i was lighting a J…. and guess who was sitting on the side of me smoking when i found My Trouble…. BOFL… ive had my bottle since 2004 and use to abuse it like crazy now i have a half and havent used it in years…
wworon03 – :
There’s just nothing else like Trouble being made today. Nothing. I’m so disappointed in all the newly launched scents, that I’ve slowly been stocking up on Trouble so I’ll have enough to last me for a few years. It’s creamy, citrusy jasmine done right. It doesn’t go soapy or sharp. It’s beautiful, sexy and intoxicating – I can’t get enough of it. Why oh why do perfume houses discontinue their most amazing creations?! I’ll never understand it.
Silver-78 – :
I love this.. great sillage & last forever. I would swear I smell berries on the dry down. Smells as good as hypnotic poison but not that similiar to me.
Would love to wear this often but with a 1.7 oz bottle going for $200 on ebay I dont dare.. will stock up on a couple minis though, Its sooo good!
PIgorKucher – :
The opening is very citrusy then it is mixed with amber and a woody scent. I had cinema before this and it really reminds me of cinema but for me this turns sour after awhile because the citrus notes doesn’t calm down and really interacts with the amber.
nataialex – :
I love Trouble, Trouble loves me…. One Trouble is I can’t buy it anymore from anywhere? That is a trouble that I did not invite. Can I trouble anyone for any suggestion on where to puchase this beautiful perfume. I should of bought up big a long time ago, not thinking at all that it not be around anymore.
Trouble is divine, sassy, true oriental, ambery jasminy lemony and addictive. I do not use my bottle on regular basis anymore, I have to keep for prosperity, very timely and exclusive outings.
So inviting and sheik…. How can it no longer be made?
Troubled I am, as I sit here with my arm, wrist, neck, shoulder, knowing that maybe I can only spray Trouble on twice a year.. x
al1500 – :
This was my date night perfume. It’s not sticky, sweet and flowery. It is very sexy but not in an over the top, in your face sexy. It’s alluring, like a siren song. I like to dab it just on the pulse points instead of spraying it all over. This way it plays a sort of peek-a-boo on the nose of my date and makes them want to draw in closer to get their fill. Very good staying power. I can usually still smell it the next morning.
merig – :
I have had this for awhile, and since I have a small bottle and this is no longer in production I only wear it every once in a great while.
Now, I’m no pro at fragrances, all I know is what I like and I like this a lot! I’ve never been a fan of Jasmine, and I now realize that is because I’ve always related that *name* with those alcohol-drenched body sprays that our mother’s bought us at Christmas for stocking stuffers! FOR SHAME, MOTHERS…FOR SHAME!
I digress-as of late some of my favorite fragrances have had the jasmine note turn up somewhere, and I’ve discovered that *for me* when the jasmine is linked to a woody basenote that is a recipe for making me truly enjoy and like a frag. Trouble offers this, and with a nice sweet-smelling (but not sugary-I don’t do sugary frags) ’roundness’ to it. I don’t have any other way to describe it. There is this greenness at the opening, but after about 20 minutes it’s all warm and honey-rich (though that’s not listed as a note…it’s something sweet that reminds me so much of opening a jar of honey!) Then of course those gentle jasmine and slightly woody notes come in and I fall right into the fog of it…sigh!
It’s a friendly frag not the typical Diva Frag I’m so addicted to, but I really enjoy wearing it, especially on these summer days when you want to smell good, but not necessarily have your frag announce your arrival.
The longevity on the juice in my bottle is moderate (about 5 hours lasting power on me) and the sillage is soft. But it’s ok…I’m not wearing this to grab attention, it’s FMNO (for my nose only). I have to say, this frag is the reason I love my Bebe Gold so much…their drydown profiles *on me* are almost identical, but BeBe offers me that luscious scent for nearly 1/4 the price PLUS it can actually go with me all day long and I don’t keep it to myself as much as I do this one-the longevity and sillage are better *on me* than with the Boucheron juice.
So, I’ll keep my Boucheron Trouble for my own collection and actually wear the BeBe Gold…which I like A LOT and which has more stamina than the Boucheron product.
nika972 – :
One of my all time favourites. A beautiful scent.
A very elegant sexy perfume, very ambery woodsy with seductive vanilla and floral notes.
Heavy with an incredible sillage. Just the way I like it.
Very sad that it has been discontinued.
sax-man – :
One of my fragrantica friends sent me some delicious new samples to try. “Trouble” was one of the first that I sampled today.
It has a unique name, “Trouble”… which is sometimes one of those things that you say to someone when you know that you could over step some bounds and find yourself pushing the limits – rather than maintaining a “safe stance” in certain situations. Trouble sounds like something that a dare-devil would like.
