Founded in Paris in 1858 by Frédéric Boucheron, the house opened its first boutique at the Palais-Royal. In 1893, it moved to 26 Place Vendôme, becoming the first major jewellery house to establish an address there. The family led the house for four generations before it joined Kering in 2000. The house launched its first fragrance in 1988.
In its jewellery as in its fragrances, Boucheron cultivates a free-spirited creativity inspired by gemstones, travel and the jeweller’s craft. The bottles extend this precious imagination, notably through the ring-shaped bottle of the first fragrance. Ambre d’Alexandrie offers its own interpretation, built around milky vanilla and benzoin.
Right now at Fragsplit, 1 Boucheron fragrance is available as a 1 to 10 ml decant: Ambre d'Alexandrie.
