Jacques Cavallier

"Initial is a feminine floral-fruity fragrance released by Boucheron in 2000. It opens with a bright, lightly peppery blend of cassis, red currant leaf, and mandarin orange. The heart develops a soft floral character through rose, jasmine, wildflowers, and patchouli. Honey, almond, and musk create a warm, gently sweet drydown with a comforting texture. The overall impression is elegant, approachable, and softly radiant rather than intense or aggressive. Initial is now a discontinued release with continued interest among vintage fragrance collectors."

Reviews Summary
