Trouble Boucheron for women

Reve d'Anthala Evody Parfums is INSANELY similar to the subject here, to such extent, it evokes distant memories associated with trouble. i had my time to think over whether it may be just me tripping or is about a genuine, fairly objective, perception. its the latter, otherwise i wont be making such statement, and im really vulnerable to scents. if one still misses trouble, may, with a bit of luck, find a sample of what i mentioned above.

My mom gave me the last bit in her bottle of the original formulation (snake cap) and it’s BEAST MODE. Put 3 tiny sprays on this morning at 5am and still getting wafts almost 9 hours later. It does remind me of Dior Addict but I like this better. Thick, rich, warm ambery vanilla and jasmine with a sweet lemon top note and a soft cola spice in the dry down. It’s heavenly. They don’t make perfumes like this anymore.

Comment ai-je pu être assez cruche pour rater ce parfum !
Je suis la dernière des gourdes !
Un sosie de Cinéma d'YSL et je le rate !!! Impardonnable !

This is like a diet version of Dior Addict .. fresh and citrusy enough to wear in summer, if you're a vanilla-in-warm- weather type of person. It's a lemon cupcake with a bit of floral/jasmine to keep it from being a bakery, gourmand scent. I can definitely see the comparison to YSL Cinema, another gorgeous vanilla, I would grab that if you don't want to pay current eBay prices for this.
I didn't know this was discontinued, glad I have a little 5ml splash I'll have to savor!

The pyramid here on Fragrantica is missing the vanilla note - one of the most well-done vanillas in the whole world to be honest. This perfume is all about vanilla. Period.

I have the red bottle with serpent lid pictured here and a taller glass cylindrical bottle I purchased without a lid a few years ago. I believe the taller bottle is older as the strength of it is something else entirely, the projection and sillage is stronger than most of the amouage fragrances I own and the colour of the liquid in that bottle is almost crimson red.

Powerful sparkling citrus notes mixed with creamy vanilla and Jasmine creates a gorgeous fizzy yet sweet, unique and syrupy cloud that sparkles and wafts off my skin in waves.

Cavallier definitely has a signature scent profile because to my nose ALL of these fragrances are very similar:

Dior - Addict
Boucheron - Trouble
YSL - Cinema
Rochas - Absolu
YSL- Nu (cube bottle)
Cavalli-Serpentine

So if you love any of the fragrances on this list but you can’t find them or the prices for bottles where you live are extortionate try to sample the alternatives on this list or any other fragrances he created in the same decade, chances are they may be similar.

Landing a decent creamy lemonpeel on a fluffy vanillacloud, with the warmth and delicacy of a soft skinned mothers cleavage, the way you felt asleep as a baby in her arms.
This is my feeling about this treasure.

Found the sister of it in Pure XS of Pacco Rabbane. But she was having lots of hazelnuts in her embrace.

I have a nearly full bottle that I bought at Parfumerie Nastreen ten (?) years ago. I neglected it because it is so strong on me and only just this morning revived it. I sprayed a few pumps into a Kleenex and was surprised to see that the perfume was tinted a brownish pink. I have no idea what that could mean.

I think I would like this better if it came out of the bottle in a more diffuse spray instead of a concentrated squirt. I'd be better able to control its strength.

I have a full bottle of this in Vinted. If anyone is interested.

Wearing this today, and I have to say it's very similar to Armani Sensi. The notes listed are different, but to my untrained nose it's the vibe I've been getting all day. Looked up Sensi, and it's the same perfumer. Makes all the sense, lol!

So happy I still have my bottle from way back in the day. Doesn’t look to be commercially available anymore. This is such a deep, sophisticated amber vanilla (baffled that it’s not listed as a note) that is great for cold weather.

The sillage is fantastic, the longevity is strong, (especially in your hair)…and the scent journey it takes you on is amazing!

Starts citrusy/floral, then into a beautiful vanilla jasmine, and dries into a lovely musky amber. Definitely gonna savour this bottle I have as I am unsure I will be able to find it again if I run out.

So I have this and it definitely reminds me of a few things that aren’t listed here as being similar which I don’t understand at all. This, D&G The One, VW Boudoir, and Givenchy Organza could all be extremely similar flankers of each others. They’re all sweet light bubblegummy scents, to my nose extremely similar. I’m glad I got this years ago cheap because now I know how it smells I’ll never buy it or Boudoir again (pricey.) Organza and The One smell exactly like it to me!

DAMN IT BOUCHERON!! BRING THIS BACK!!! I love this fragrance. I was in Paris the first time I smelled this and it was love at first sniff. I bought a bottle and went through the whole thing, a near miracle for me. Had I know back then it would be discontinued I would have back stocked it. Now it is ridiculous expensive on eBay. I emailed Boucheron and they confirmed they do not have any current plans to re-release it :-( Oh Trouble, how I miss you!

UPDATE: I absolutely disagree that this smells like The One. I have both and on my skin they smell nothing alike but I guess everyone's chemistry is different. I did just get a fragrance in the mail that reminds me very much of Trouble and that is D&G La Temperance. I looked at the notes here and they aren't similar but on my skin they smell very close. You can get the fragrances in the Anthology line very reasonably so I don't feel guilty spray myself generously with this one.

Another high quality offering from Boucheron & J.Cavallier is *TROUBLE*, this I own in 15 ml. parfum/extrait concentration, the dry-down is quite linear after the opening of a tart citrus combo followed with a white/yellow floral middle plus base notes of sandalwood (not listed), ambre & white musk underscored by a still detectable watery jasmine/jonquil accord, most unusual indeed, in fact I would say this fragrance is intriguing to be honest, I find nothing troubling here
I like, although not a fave, while the ruby red flacon with a matte gold, emerald eyed serpentine dauber/cap is simple yet elegant and came with it's own black silken atomizer bulb, tres' chic & so very BOUCHERON... high quality materials + low key sophistication = GLAMOUR...

Trouble is one of the most decadent fragrances I own. I would describe it as oriental gourmand. It's sweet, but not too sweet. It's as classy as it is delicious. It has a perfect balance of citrus, vanilla and amber which is hard to achieve. Floral notes are in the background, as the supporting act. I wear Trouble when I want decadence without overly sticky sweetness and warmth without too much spice. It comes close to Venice by Yves Rocher which is another love. And I can definitely see some likeness to Cinema by YSL. But I find it unique enough to own a full bottle and greedily spray whenever I crave that delicious combination of its notes.

Trouble is a floral amber that is book-ended by edibles - candied/jammy citrus in the opening, and syrupy cocoa in the dry down. Although chocolate is not listed as a note, the vanilla and jasmine are so concentrated that they create a gourmand-y cocoa vibe. Wooden tones support the composition (less like the moldy cedar chests of late, more like the refined wood of an antique sitar). Trouble should be included on any 'best of vanilla' list. Perhaps it is overlooked because Trouble avoids the excesses of its counterparts and instead expresses itself in terms of allure, restraint, and the anticipation of compliance. There's nothing overt about Trouble, and therein lies its power.

This smells like a combination of Dior Addict and YSL Cinema to me. I wonder if layering the two might create something that resembles this fragrance. I'll have to try it.

awesome juice...even for a guy- lasts and is unique for sure.

True treasure. Why would @Boucheron ever discontinue this?

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. Boucheron, bring it back!!!

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...

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.

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.

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...

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.

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.

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.

Of course, a great example to be followed by the perfume houses. A DELICACY!

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!

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.

It's the fragrance more genuine that I've ever smelled. I think an example of perfume from the most high quality. UNMATCHED!

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.

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.

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.

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.

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...

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!

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.

Very reminiscent of YSL Cinema. Amber, vanilla, citrus, and jasmine. I typically hate jasmine, but Cinema and Trouble got it right. Sexy stuff.

I have the vintage version. Good stuff. Don't know how it compares to the "new" version.

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...

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 :(

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.

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.

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.

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

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.

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!

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

Eternal. My signature. Heavy, deep, lush...Love it. Too bad is off the market.

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!

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

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...

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.

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...

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.

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!

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

"You look like you could be *trouble*" - may be a back-handed compliment that you give to someone who is sexy, alluring, and who may pull you slightly off focus. This fragrance hits that kind of spot. This goes on SUPER STRONG, but has a delicious dry down. This is memorable, exciting, and could be very intoxicating with the right chemistry.

This smells as if it has expensive ingredient notes and chords in it. This is definitely upper end, upper market... and a fragrance that will be more unique than the average perfume that the masses wear. It is distinct. Unique and different from other fragrances, but it wears very classic.

This is a great choice for a "signature scent"!

How Belly Dance would smell like !? Definitely like Trouble to me ...close your eyes , take a sniff ... What Do you see !? ...her alluring dance bare foot barely touching the oriental carpet , spins turns her silk skirt floats in the warm evening air you feel a slight scent of jasmine flowers the woody furniture you are sitting on the lemon from the tea you are enjoying but still you can't keep your eyes off of her , the sound of the beads in her costume is keeping you memorized you can see her hips move in a intriguing pleasant way , her whole sweaty body vibrates you can almost taste her skin ...the animal in you is unleashed ... Hey close the bottle enough sniffing !!!

Just to answer Maggie...Yes, the lid is supposed to represent a snake.

Trouble and Dior Addict are my go-to scents for sexy nights with my man. Trouble is a bit more cozy, though, and can be worn when you just need to be wrapped in a warm, fragrant hug, too. It's smoky/sweet and glorious!

I have never heard of this item before, but I am interested in trying it. Is the top of the bottle supposed to resemble a snake? Is that why the name of the fragrance is called "Trouble"?? Anybody know?

I have just received this in a swap. It is a lovely scent. Upon dry down it reminds me of Dior Addict ALOT. It is a very sultry scent. The citrus, the amber come together quite nicely. I can't wait to wear this for winter.

As it is quite usual for me, I loved Trouble because of its amber and jasmine.. I just fall for anything with these notes.. Together or separate.
It is heavy but not old fashioned as I had expected it to be...
I get the citrus too but it is not overwhelming. It is very well blended with the other notes.
Due to its subtle freshness it can be worn in summer nights too, but I think it would be less loud for the setting if it was worn in winter.
It is a lady's smell, highly recommended!

Initial spritz shocked me a bit. I was expecting something a little bit more va-va-voom, but it smelled like a watered-down version of L'Heure Bleue mixed with pencil shavings.

I've had it on for about two hours now and all I can smell is a synthetically sweet amber-vanilla. Not the sultry kind of "Trouble" I was hoping to get into. Another one with rapid development that just fell flat.

So beautiful, but I think its for a woman who has the confidence to carry it off.

I am doubtful about the imagery used in marketing and bottle design. It is not some sorcerers' elixir, carried by some Valkyrie to spirit men away. It is however a comforting cloak of warmth wrapped to envelopes and soothe with it's solar white bouquet opening onto darkness, delicious balsams and furry musks. Like a maiden and unicorn.

Oh Miss Boucheron Trouble, you fine thang you, why did you torture me so? You came in a sample but it wasn't enough, I was hypnotized but I didn't know...

...that when you were recommended to me by an experienced nose, you would rock my world from my head to my toes

The citrus listed in the notes kept me at bay, because that's the one thing that will keep me away

You came to me today as a gift from a friend, I tried you at once and you didn't offend

I get powder, which is a favorite of mine, you went on smoothly, then began to shine

Like a long, lost, love who is miles away, you've captured my heart, now you're here to stay

I smell no citrus but lucky for me, the Ambery woods and vanilla are my cup of tea!

Does anyone else smell play dough?

I'm really dissapointed with this one. The sample I had really reminded me of my Hypnotic Poison; I got virtually no citrus from it all. But now that I have the FB, all I get is a big blast of lemon and then *poof* it's gone in about 45 minutes! No amber, no jasmine, most definitely no cedar. And this bottle is EDP! I admit my skin does drink in perfume like a thirsty person in the desert who's been handed a jug of water, but come on - this should last at least an hour or two... I moisturize!
Ah well, this is just not the perfume for me. That's life I guess, you win some and you lose some. C'est la vie!

Trouble started out nice and creamy and warm on my skin so I had high hopes for it. Then an overpowering lemon note came in and ruined it all.

Sorry but I cannot abide too much lemon in fragrances and this is very heavy lemon. Too bad, because it could have been a nice fragrance if the lemon had been balanced with some spices or a bit of tonka.

Quite lovely. I'm not picking up any of the listed notes, which is fine. Apple blossoms! I can smell apple blossoms. Oh I like this. Sexy and intoxicating.

EDIT: Is very similar to Jess Simpson's Fancy (which is much cheaper, and just lovely)

Well, I finally got a hold of the much sought-after Trouble, just to find that the trouble with Trouble is that I already have it in my wardrobe! I kept sniffing my wrist in disbelief, then it came to me... that's it, Boucheron Trouble smells EXACTLY like another one of Cavallier's creations... YSL Cinema. I don't detect any lemon, just the same soft, sweet amber/vanilla/jasmine as the Cinema. How could an almost identical perfume be marketed two completely different ways? IMO, I see this perfume is classy and sophisticated Cinema rather than a piece of devil's work. At least those who are bummed about Trouble being discontinued can be reassured knowing that its twin Cinema is still in production!

I went for a blind buy of the 15ml edp based on the reviews here and you ladies did not disappoint. On my skin it is a warm, cozy (powdery) vanilla with a soft (maybe white) amber-incense touch and sweetened with creamy jasmine (i dont get sugar sweet). I don't get much from the lemon but maybe that's what keeps it "fresh". Nor do I get any cedar (thank God) It reminds me of a classic florental and very much "my type" of oriental. I can see why some would choose this as a signature. I think its lovely and I'm glad I have it in my wardrobe!

Powdery, woodsy, cozy, warm, floral, sexy. If you want a great mixer, wear this with Al-Rehab's Nebras (an Arabian Oil, try Amazon for sourcing that is where I purchased mine) & it is the most amazing combination! I got this suggestion from another Fragrantica Member off a review board. It smells very much like Vivienne Westwood's "Boudouir" if you enjoy that fragrance. Trouble is extraordinarily sensual & sultry...I truly think this scent has been overlooked. I loved the first bottles that came out with the "emerald" snake eye...gorgeous! <3

A long time ago I went to nordstroms and asked the sales person what she would recommend for me if I liked vanilla. She went straight to boucheron trouble and told me it was new. Boy she had good taste. You can smell the vanilla right away. And it's one of the very few edps with lemon that makes it so distinct. I wonder wear you can find the whole line. I'm all in and hooked..

Just have it on my wrist and I must say...wow, it's excellent for cold days,cozy... but I only feel the touch of amber,as if all the other notes hidden behind a powerful warm amber.
It's a sample only, but could last few days, I might grab one bottle.
edit/to heavy for the morning, will try again some other time

This, ladies and gentlemen, is what heaven better smell like.

This is a must have for the coldest winter days.(this would be too much for summer IMO w/all that amber) So warm smelling! I love the rich, resinous nature from the amber which blends so well with vanilla, a match made in heaven for sure. The lemon and jasmine lift & brighten the other notes & give it a playful, fun vibe.

Don't get me wrong. This is LOUD, but when used correctly this is absolutely beautiful & unique. I think every woman should own this, it's really special. I can't think of anything to compare it to. My favorite from Boucheron, hands down.

Five stars 10/10

The first time I tried this fragrance I truly had a "Where have you been all my life?" moment. I felt like it had been made for me. It was truly surprising as I tend to shy away from citrus scents and yes, Trouble does have a straight up lemony opening. You have to let it settle down to enjoy being wrapped up in the most beautiful amber and jasmin heart of this fragrance. I love it, Trouble is definitely on my top 10 list of favs and if pressed it could be my HG scent. A bonus is the fact that it doesn't smell like so many other fruity florals that are so common. The bottle is a real beauty as well! Enjoy!

On me this opens with a big blast of lemon, which rapidly moves to a sugary, cedary, creamy vanilla. Pencil shavings in a lemony bowl of vanilla sugar! It's definitely soft and warm and sexy - but only for cold weather wear, in my opinion at least. My sister borrowed this one summer and smelled of lemon washing-up liquid and, to be honest, really put me off wearing it for over a year. So glad I tried it again now the snow has come!

I sprayed most of a 2.5 ml sample all over myself this morning. Opens with wet cardboard smell- then about 5 minutes of an inoffensive generic oriental scent combination. Then- in the time it took me to drive to work- NOTHING, GONE. What is wrong with me?!

I knew that I liked amber but I have never had a perfume with such a focus on the amber, so I was never able to exactly pinpoint what it smelled like alone. (I'm still learning, here!) This fragrance was a complete surprise to me. I ordered a sample on a whim in my monthly frag subscription and I am blown away by it's beauty. It's soft, creamy, sexy, and I love that oriental feel. I don't really get lemon, but if it's there, it's soft- not a sharp, sour lemon. I was so impressed that I just ordered a small bottle online. This scent is reminiscent of Dior Addict and Dior Hypnotic Poison Eau Sensuelle, but yet it's completely different. It just gives me the same "feeling" as I get from those two (which I also love). I am so excited to wear this once the weather gets colder (which it will for many many months where I live!) Great fragrance!

I got inspired by Your reviws and went to my perfume closet and srayed Boucheron Trouble. And now I remember how come I loved this so much few years ago. This is so georgeous.

The initial spray is sweet, alluring and audacious. Highly potent yet mesmerizing. I get the beautiful blend of the amber, lemon and floral notes. It's quite beautiful and somewhat intoxicating in a sensual way.

You know the kind of woman who walks by and catches everyone's attention, this is that kind of scent, the kind that gets noticed -- great sillage, longevity is superb, smells so wonderful. Even hours after, the scent that lingers on my skin is equally beautiful ... powdery sweet and luscious yet still fresh with hints of woody notes. One of those fragrances that exudes wealth and sophistication.

I love the bottle, but I only wish the scent to me was what I read here. Lemon would invigorate this beautifully, but I only detect jasmine and vanilla. And not especially nice jasmine/vanilla, the headachey kind. After suffering through about an hour, I layered some Caron eau de Reglisse Liquorice over it and it worked very well.

Elegant ladies wear Trouble for sure.
Perfume is not linear, that over time changes nicely.
Too bad it is as hard to find it in Brazil.

The only perfume that is seductive and yet remain cold in its intentions..

Yes it's true! It's very similar to YSL Cinema I confirm it!

Although it has not the class of the old Boucheron- Boucheron, I must admit that I liked it very much. so much that I bought it. I think that has more quality, than other expensive fragrances of today. Trouble stands between Dolce Cabbana the one, Sublime of Patou, and Cartier's le Baisier du dragon. I mean that it reminds me all these together! without being a copy of any of them. It is clearly an oriental smell, not an uforgetable one, but once you smell it, you want to have it! citrusy warm amber gives it a seductive and invigorating character. I dare to say that it could be my signature fragrance only if I had not ever smell Krazy by Krizia.

Very interesting perfume at the first sniff. Warm amber and lemon pie. Once it dries down jasmine emerges. Amber softens with time to warm vanilla close to the skin scent.
Powerfully feminine, on the stronger side, but pretty good; something about it is different, unique, ladylike; It's like i smelled this before, where? it carries a great dose of mystery with it.
Excellent choice for evening wear!

Hello,
I've been deceived by the EDP. Just a comment, but, if you want something great, try Trouble scented stones (to be put in a jar). They'll give a subtile aroma in the room, richer and more complex than the juice. I'm glad I have those marvelous stones because the perfume I grabbed on the Net is, in the end, flat and far less interesting to me... Smells exactly like Sensi did.

I see lots of reviewers reporting weak sillage and lasting power with TROUBLE and that surprises the HECK out of me!

TROUBLE is one of my biggest sillage bomb, can't-shake-it-all-day kind of frags!

Tulip211, I LOVE your review of this fragrance, sooo cute. Made me giggle:) Gonna have try this one!!!

After reading Your comments, I must go Fast to my fragrance-shelf and put some Trouble on:) It´s my Winter-fragrance these years anyway, but I need to have some drops right now! Oh the desires rising from inside of a woman..
By the way, it feels somehow enticing to be a trouble itself.. Such a wild, hidden, volcanic eruption soon-to-be.. Willing to say: Take me as I am..I´m adorable! I play with you, wrap u deeep inside but don´t harm bad..at all. I am someone You are anyway, You just need to know You are..

Review of EDP:
Not so much to tell, as it is so easy to distinguish; Lemon, Jasmine and Amber. So basic and simple it may seem with no complexity at all, still I found Trouble nice, warm and calming. So, hellooo....where's the trouble?

There is a creamy quality that was never too creamy, thanks to the lemon that always keep the juice sits on the edge. The jasmine is blooming beautifully in the heart notes. I do however get the balmy effects, not sure what it is though. Maybe that's what make many people associated Trouble with seduction? You tell me...

To sum up, lovely but another misnamed product!

Sillage: Moderate
Longevity: Moderate

OMG! I could drench mysel in this. The body milk is unbelieveable!!!

Trouble- yes, I have it now when I tested it: I want a whole bottle :).
Starts with perfect lemony- jasmine scent which flows in ambery-vanilla scent.
I would categorise it in my group of perfumes as where Joop's Le Bain is, with bold, strong character.
Not for girls, for ladies only!

Trouble lives up to its name. Boucheron is no longer the perfume powerhouse it once was. It is now owned( at least the perfume side) by some new corporate overlord who cared more about profits than elegance. Is Trouble bad, cheap, artificial? Not at all. In fact, it it rich and sexy.

Vanilla laden creamy rice pudding with almonds. Its not an oriental in the classic sense. Its far too linear/sweet. Reinvention of the class? Impossible. We get a sense of the different direction the house is headed.

It was so good that it was discontinued! Too sexy and original. The red bottle was a red flag. Where is the Boucheron bleue? Indeed, the box seems ever so cheaper. There is a serpent in the garden of Eden/Boucheron. Where are all of those lavish ingredients? Trouble barely made the perfume radar, yet it will be long remembered by those of us who sampled/doused it.

Something that I can smell in this one is exactly like Kenzo Kenzo Amour. I think it's the Rice.

Strange that the notes are totally different in the perfume pyramid.

A burst of lemons at first. They hang out,quite proud of themselves.. all prickly and juicy...until suddenly, they see Mr. Vanilla Amber coming down the road. Terrified, the lemons make a run for it, knowing that Mr.Vanilla Amber is very territorial, and there is no room for them here.

They leave behind the faintest fruity lemon smell as Mr. Vanilla Amber barges in and makes itself at home. The dry down is incredible as Mr. Vanilla Amber kicks off it's shoes and asks "What's that smell?? WAS LEMON HERE??!!"

You reassure him that he is the only one for you and bring him his cedar pipe. Whew! That was a close one!

* My friend says it smells like spicy bubblegum, and I find it to be a cousin to Hypnotic Poison. I adore it, however lasting power is not long at all.
* I know Vanilla is not listed as a note, but I do smell it here. Try it and see!

Bought 50ml EDP of it recently, mostly because of the bottle and a REALLY low price. As far as i remember i didn´t find boucheron fragrances to be really my taste. This one is a bit different. This one a Dior´s "Addict" with a lemon twist. I really like how "Addict" smells, but somehow i can´t use it, it blocks my nose and i can´t breath. "Trouble" is a different story: when sniffed out of the lid i have got an instant comparision to "Addict", so i was a bit dissapointed. BUT the first spray really surprised me: nothing of "Addict" at all on my skin, only frsh and zesty lemon and musk at the same time!!! So strange, thoiught i... It wasn´t unpleasant at all, just a bit strange, since i didn´t expect that based on the name and bottle, i expected some rich and deep fragrance. THEN after 15-20 minutes it began slowly to turn into something that "Addict" smells like. Musky vanilla. But still with a fresh twist of jasmine. Very nice combination! It made me feel like a million-dollar-lady but without being snob. Somehow i suspect that men would really like it.
Best to be used during late autumn and winter time.
I can´t say i really love it, just like it very much but i will keep it definitly for some special occasions on winter days. Would be great along with my fur coats.
SO, if you find "Addict" overpowering or too much powderly vanillish, then you should try "Trouble". It might be more wearable for you then.
lasting power is quite good, but sillage must be better while you´re outside and it is windy or frosty. Not really suitable for a rainy weather in my opinion...

You need to spray on LOTS of this perfume to get anything of its character. I used nearly all my 1ml sample in one go, and even then, I was struggling.It's not heavy at all. It's soft warm and close.

When the initial prickly lemon settles, it turns into almondy//medicinal, in a masculine cedar-ish way, like the trademark of Serge Lutens. I can't think why Luca Turn is so disparaging, when he normally likes much dafter blends than this one. In fact when it settles down it has a quite pleasant shaving soap creaminess.

There's something in the vibe that reminds me of subdued Hypnotic Poison and Allure, if they were mixed and had a dash of mild embrocation ointment added!

Guess I don't see the point of hospital smells in perfume, especially would-be orientals.

BTW what does dyer's greenwood smell like???

I like it, I don't love it. I don't require a bottle, couple of vials are more than enough of that stuff. It's warm and dark, I love the lemon and amber note,well balanced, but it's just a dad too sweet for me to love it. Funny thing with Trouble, when I wear it, it gets cloying after a while, yet I miss it often, maybe I should get a small bottle of it afterall.
The bottle is gorgeous, very inviting, just like the scent is. It's a perfect scent for cold winter months.
Warning: it will get you in trouble with men, they can't resist it ;)

Amber first. After 20 minutes or so, it gets sweeter and creamier. I don't get lemon scent at all. It would be good for winter or fall eventhough the scent is not really warm. It's probably just for me. Everyone is different.

Similar plastic sweet vanilla as in Tocade + sandalwood, ylang and pink pepper.

Dear Bandit,

great review! I love Trouble, it's in my top 5. Sexiness in the bottle - you are so right! Fantastic creation of JC! What would i do without my Trouble!!

Wow, Jacques Cavallier definitially had a only-basenotes-perfume phase in the early 00s:

Absolu - Cinema - Trouble

Recently he was invited to go back to those glorious days and he created Vanille Noir.

Absolu is the darkest, edgiest,
Cinema fakes a top and middle part with a tiny drop of flower and a lot of clementine (that's at least, what is listed), but it really is a edgy, even slight aggressive vanilla basenote,
Vanille Noir is Absolu with dark vanilla and

Trouble is the refined, most mature and soft version of his vanilla-resin basenote style.

All of them smell so much like J.C. creations, more than every others of him (I've read a discription of this typical J.C. note as "toasted bread" or only "bread"). All of them are for me sexiness in the bottle. If you are looking for vanilla in particular, in Trouble you get a very very beautiful non-gourmand, but creamy vanilla.

Now, I like that basnoty style of him very much, I don't care too much for flowers and fruits, so I am glad, that this perfumes exist. I often dreamt about getting rid of top and middle notes, because I sometimes love only the basenotes of a fume (Rumba). J.C. obviously had equal thoughts.

They are on the other hand not overly complex, they don't develop much and to have all is only necessary, if you are complete in that basenotes style. Or in J.C..

I have been dying to sample this for a long time. This smells super good. I can detect the lemon in background giving it that sort of interesting kick. It reminds me of several perfumes I know and love put together (like a weaker Dior Addict with a side of lemon). I think this would be good for fall and winter. Not sure I would brave this one in heat. Good stuff!

I just tried this tonight thanks to a generous person who sent it in a swap. I don't normally like heavy, spicy scents but maybe I just haven't tried the right ones! This is GORGEOUS. The sillage and staying power are phenomenal and prove how a perfume SHOULD behave.

A very small amount of citrus in the opening that quickly changes to spicy vanilla amber and a bit of cedar- no flowers on my skin. This is a class above CK Obsession, but it automatically evokes that same warm, spicy feeling for me. This is definitely more refined than Obsession. I'm infatuated with this sultry beauty; hopefully it turns into true love! I want a FULL BOTTLE!

EDIT: Got a bottle and I LOVE it- so warm and comforting on a cool autumn night. Something about it just makes my mouth water.

I have buyed one in this month ,but I only to find it in some stores in EEUU, in some stores hasn´t got any stock already,by the way I live in Spain, and here there is problems with customs :-(
I think that I have to think in other signature parfum, but is soo dificult,the parfum is part of our personality and life,I´m sad when discontinued the parfums.

This is my perfum since very much time, but it is discontinued,I want to find one perfum with similar fragance.Could you help me? :-))please!
I had Addict Dior, i ilke it very much ,but Boucheron is sooo special!

I had a bottle of Trouble, 15 ml one and I must say the cap looked much worse than it looks in the photo - and it's a jeweller's perfume so it should look better than a plastic cap coloured in gold.

The scent is cosy, thick, good for cold days, but it's also kind of dark, sweet but not too sweet. The drydown became a chocolate on me... and Trouble has got great lasting power. The fragrance really makes an impression and is worth trying. Classy, grown up...

Es el mejor perfume que tuve nunca, sensual y sexy 100%,durante un tiempo no lo encontre y lo sustitui por Dior Addict, pero he vuelto a encontrarlo y hoy mismo lo volvere a pedir, la locion corporal y el EDP, hay tambien perfume de 15ml.Una obra de arte, todos giran su cabeza cuando lo llevas puesto,es sin duda magistral!!

I just found out that Orazuli by ST. Dupont is very similar to Trouble.

Some say Trouble is improperly named, but I disagree. With trouble, you don't always know you're in it until it's too late. Same with this perfume, you're hooked before you even know it. It is sultry and sensual. Very warm and earthy, the type of scent you can wear day after day and never tire of it. Of course, it all depends on your body chemistry but for me Trouble is my go to perfume. It's addicting and seductive. I dread the day when I won't be able to find any more bottles of it.

This could be a sister scent to Thierry Mugler's Alien. A little lighter, with more vanilla and not as heavy on the jasmine, but still in the same vein. This one doesn't have sillage that trails you for miles, either, definitely a consideration if you don't want the entire office to smell you. Alien wins it for me, but this is still a nice little gourmand twist.

It's more floral frag then oriental, a lot of white flowers in the beginning, lemon also noticeable, but then vanilla solos. Good perfume, but not very complicated and extraordinary.

I tried Trouble after seeing it often recommended as a 'creamy, warm, soft, comforting scent' in various perfumes forums. And all that it could be because the amber is delicious, if not for the cursed lemon note. Unfortunately, I detest citrus notes on top of sweet, warm fragrances and the citrus in this one is anything but subtle. In fact, it's the only note that stands out pretty clear for the whole duration of the perfume on my skin, which I have to add was not very long in all: barely 3-4 hours. Not for me, but others who don't share my dislike for citrus, might find it very attractive.

Trouble is perplexingly beautiful, opening with fresh lemon that seems to be tinted with almond or amaretto liqueur. I tried madly to find information on dyer's greenweed and it seems to be rather elusive. Some have refered to the aroma as being like orange blossom, chammomile or fruity musk--what I get is a fruity, balmy, lightly waxy floral scent, enigmatic and different.

Jasmine appears delicately in the heart, but at the same time, very present and never cloying. Warmed up with amber and some smooth cedar, I get that subtle waxy feeling again--hardy, sweet white lemon blossom petals with a little green stem and milky white sap appear in my mind.

Really alluring and charismatic, and somewhat narcotic without putting on the heavies. Somehow, I can imagine this being appropriate when feeling teasingly sarcastic and playfully confident.

I love it nothing more to say!

This is nice! It's quite subtle for me as I tend to go for the big bold in your face perfumes. The bottle sort of led me down that path! I agree with the Lemon peel being feminine and sort of sparkly. I would have liked it to have stayed around longer though! After a spritz about an hour ago it’s now quite faint. Still there but only just. I was amazed at the simplicity of this one, only 5 notes but beautifully put together. I couldn’t see many against reviews and feel only a few would find this one a definite no no. I get the feeling most people attracted to this one would wish for more strength, it’s definitely, for me lacking in longevity. Oomph at the beginning but a bit of a quiet song at the end! A tad too delicate for the heavy brigade I feel. Overall, it’s a good addition to my collection, one that I will wear day or night without much thought needed.

I got a sample of this fragrance many years ago, and since the first time I wore it I thought it was really similar both to Jean Paul Gaultier Classique and YSL Cinema, though more balsamic than Classique and less complex than Cinema.

Sometimes Trouble's opening happened to make me a little sick (lemon note isn't definitely a favorite of mine, expecially when it's blended in floral orientals), but at the whole this is an interesting sweet-sour creation composed around some lemon and jasmine, a little of amber and woods and a lot of dry vanilla: there's just a hint of herbal poisoness in the top notes, but I can't detect anything really dangerous (the red snake in the ad) neither intoxicating in this fragrance.. contrarily, minute by minute Trouble reveals itself as a powdery and smooth oriental vanilla on my skin.

I would maybe love it if Cinema, Hypnotic Poison and Classique didn't exist.

I don't know if my sense of smell is all screwed up but it reminds me so much of Addict, but a subtler version. Will be back with more feedback in a few hours.

This is pretty puzzling to me, because Trouble and Addict share only one (jasmine note in common), but when I first sprayed it on I instantly thought I alreayd have a similar perfume...and then it dawned upon me that it smelled like Addict.
But after 10-15 minutes Trouble is headed in a different direction. The lemon is more of a candied type here without making the perfume citrusy, just adding some zest to it. My overall impression is warm floral with a lemon twist.
Very classy and elegant perfume, but is laking some sillage for a wow factor. Longevity is average as well, about 3-4 hours.

Jacques Cavallier is a master perfumer. I tested his creation Kingdom and fell in love with it and now Trouble. It's a beauty in a bottle, very feminine and absolutely sexy in an elegant way.

Trouble starts with a citrus and sweet note. The citrus is from the peel rather than from the pulp and this seems to be JC's favourite note, as this kind of start is also in Kingdom but a bit darker and a bit bitter. Citrus note in fragrances is often associated with males but JC knows that if it is taken from the peel, it emerges as a feminine one in all its glory.

The more it settles on the skin,the more it becomes sweet and elegant. The dry down is a mix of floral, sweet citrus and my favourite woodsy notes. A Trouble for sure! I have just gone through reviews here and absolutely feeling bad that such a beautiful scent is discontinued now.

Heavy oriental, fantastic, it makes you feel like a real, mature, self-confident woman. Not easy to wear, definitely not for everyone.

trouble is nice.great lasting power

Trouble is a favorite of my collection, begins with the opening of citrus, jasmine and then goes to amber and cedar stands on, great staying power, those who like Alien edt like it

Warm, slightly sweet, slightly earthy, a tiny bit fruity in the opening, and plenty of wood in the drydown. The only "Trouble" for me is now I'll have to buy a bigger bottle when my 1oz EDP runs out.

The bottle (of the 1oz EDP), by the way, seems to have been designed for lying on its side. It has the center of gravity of an upside-down bowling pin.

Good staying power. Even after washing my arm with soap I can still smell it. I recommend layering with the dry body oil. Mmmmmmm . . . I'm happy with this one.

I too jut got a sample of this and am completely hooked. I will be buying a bottle asap. What I don't get is the notes that are shown here. Are they right? I don't smell any citrus at all. When I first spray it o it smells sort of creamy and nutty maybe musky.It is a little sweet but not like fruity or gourmand. It is deliciously Oriental and right up my alley.

Whoever discontinued this fragrance is a fool. I really didn't expect much, but now that I've managed to experience a sample of Trouble, I'm almost desperate for a bottle.

Trouble is really unique and sexy in a variety of ways. It opens with juicy citrus, which is supposedly lemon, but I get sweet, pulpy orange. To my nose it's a lightly sugared orange, somewhat of an acquired taste and very gourmand. It reminds me of an orange and poppy-seed cake my mother used to bake.

Some describe it as a beautiful, rich vanilla and bourbon scent, but I don't tend to describe it as that until the drydown, which does become increasingly syrupy and sweet. Trouble is what I'd imagine a femme fatal wearing. It smells a little dangerous but also very alluring and sensual.

In some ways it's quite warm and comforting, however most of the time it has the ability to get the opposite sex's pulse racing. The scent is surprisingly gentle, nothing like the powerhouse I'd assumed it would be, but with that being said the sillage is strong enough to leave a lasting impression.

Trouble is not complex, nor is it what I'd deem a masterpiece, but all in all it's a beautiful fragrance that deserves to stay in the market. I had absolutely no issues with the lasting power nor did I find this fragrance repulsive or green. It's quite possibly one of the nicest, creamiest citrus and vanilla fragrance I've ever stumbled upon.

I agree with nyoka and many of the other reviews. This one is yummy!

And all I have tried is the dry body oil. Can't wait to try the EDP.

I'm a previously dyed-in-the-wool green floral fanatic (a la Chanel 19) trying to expand my olfactory horizons. I would think for anyone like me, looking to ease into oriental florals, this might be a good intro.

I WORE Trouble today! After my shower,while still damp,i rubbed on unscented lotion with 2 squirts of fumes mixed in.Then,liberal spraying.I have had SO many compliments! The fresh blast of top notes make u hold ur head backand shake ur hair.

Then the heart BLOOMS in drippingly sweet floral jasmine.I Love the fact it has a woody dry down.(KInd of like ALIEN

I smell sugared jasmine, lilac, maybe even hyacinth, magnolia, and other flowers not listed in the notes. Anyway, it's a lovely oriental!!!

Creamy amber, vanilla (not listed), very powdery (maybe lilac), with a dusting of powdered sugar.

Reminds me of these:
Guess Seductive
F by Ferragamo

I really like this :o)

Wow ! I finally got my sample today and let me tell you , it is some kind of WONDERFUL. I'm adrift on a creamy , citrusy albeit spicy cloud. I've been trying really hard to describe this in my head. I think if you took DK Cashmere Mist and threw in lemon , jasmine, elegance and a little sexy spice that would about cover it but NO it is maybe a little deeper and sensual. Its just SO creamy and smooth. I really dont think I have ever smelled anything similiar. Its unique like Poison but softer , more lemony and is it ever intoxicating. I can see men trailing behind. Starts out with a spicy lemon blast and in no time theres a creamy warmth enveloping me. I dont mean powdery and I dont care for powdery scents. By all means PLEASE try this. Mmmmmmmmmmm ! Love !

Ooh no, not for me! I received a sample of this today as it had been recommended to me as a 'sophisticated vanilla'.
To me, it smells like a cross between Obsession and Chantilly - powdery and just not really my thing.
UPDATE:
Well that was my first impression, instant, impulsive old me.
I have found that shortly after the mish mash topnotes (in which I couldn't detect any citrus at all), this has mellowed into something which is indeed 'sophisticated and vanillic'.
For me, everything comes out in the heart of this perfume - the citrus which to others is in the opening (although I get an almost orangey smell), the vanilla, and floral notes.
There is also a 'mustiness' to it that I actually find very pleasant. Sorry for my unpoetic description, I must look at those notes again to decipher what this must be!
The whole idea of getting a grown up vanilla was that my husband only seems to show a positive reaction to vanilla perfumes and I wasn't so keen on Britney Curious or a Lush frag as a signature.
He likes this!
Also, this now feels to me like a comforting perfume that I would love to spray on at bedtime to help lull me to sleep.
Hmmm, think I will get a lovely red bottle of this one.
UPDATE 2!:
Well, I had a bath and reapplied this and on my neck, not just my wrist this time. I can get the citrus top note now.
Bit puzzled by the inclusion of Dyer's greenwood though after reading up on its properties...

trouble is a very sensual aromatic perfume with vanilla & lemon aroma in the top notes.. suitable for those who feel 'delicate'.. very unique!

lovely perfume, not for a hot day though,will suit colder weather.was not difficult to find online

My friend RkrChk sent me a really large sample of this and I am enjoying it a great deal. It is more of an oriental spice to me than anything else. The amber, vanilla, and cedar kick in right away. What a lovely cool weather scent.

Update:

I love this so much I just bought a 3.3 oz. EDP tester. Actually, I now think this fragrance is wonderful in all the seasons. LOVE IT!!!!!! Many, many thanks to RkrChk for turning me on to wonderful Boucheron Trouble.

First time I tried it I immediatelly washed it off. I perceived it as a big 80tish vibe perfume. Since it is Sunday I am not going anywhere I have decided to give it another try but this time I have let it to actually develop.
Holly macaroni - what a great scent. This is the first jasmine perfume which doesnt smell like sweat on me. It warms beautifly on my skin. Great combination of lemon, jasmine and vanilla. I absolutely agree with the review below - it does smell raw, sexy and sultry. Though it smells nothing like Midnight Poison, it gives me the same associations - you know, it is something that Lady Macbeth would wear :)

It begins with a light lemony floral scent but wait,,,,THen a glorious waif of jasmine,vanilla and old woods come into play.ITs beautiful how the notes merge without effort into one true masterpiece.THe woody note gets stronger in the dry down.Smells raw,sexy,sultry.Lasts a long time.MEN do love this one no matter the age of them.LIke a brew for attracting men.

MMMmmm. I just ordered this online without ever trying it, and I'm so happy I did. Such a beautiful scent so far. The name doesn't exactly make sense, but I could care less. It's feminine and sweet, with just the right amount of lemon. I was a bit afraid the lemon would be too sharp, but with the vanilla & jasmine it's creamy and mellow.

While it doesn't smell like either, it's somehow reminding me slightly of Givenchy Organza as well as F by Ferragamo (both which I like). A few other reviews mentioned a similarity to Addict too, which makes sense now (and again is a good thing to me).

I would definitely wear this for a special occasion, but would not hesitate to wear this during the day either. I will be ordering the cream and shower gel next.

The opening is weird in an alright way, really oriental, dark and mysterious with a touch of 'freshness'. I couldn't really put my finger through, but somehow it reminds me of Dior Addict's and Guerlain Idylle's freshness. Soon it smells like smokey baby powder with floral oriental edge. There's some really good sweet jasmine/lemon combo comes and goes, which reminds me quite a lot of Thierry Mugler's Alien Luminessence, but not as heady, and sweeter.

Later on, I can smell some nice vanilla, the whole perfume gets creamier and smoother. However the sweet Alien type of jasmine is still there and I feel a little bit uncomfortable.

I do agree that you'll be noticed if you wear Trouble, however, sexy? I personally don't find it so, just like I don't get it why Alien or Dior Addict are so popular. Maybe it's just body chemistry. Nevertheless, if you like jasmine scent and want something darker, you might love Trouble.

There's not a lot more to write here that hasn't already been written about Trouble. This is a sweet, sexy oriental floral. Has a nice very light lemon note all throughout, even to the sweet ambery dry down. And it lasts long and has great sillage. I didn't notice it as being especially strong, but it has left a lovely trail behind me all day, according to the comments I received. There are some fragrances I wear that make me fear I'm knocking people out, and when I mention it, they say they don't smell me at all. But with Trouble, believe me, you WILL get noticed.

This is a deeply provacative scent.THe jasmine is glorious.What I love is the woody background that for me is there from the beginning.The notes flow one into another with the heat of the fragrance deepening every minute.Its a com hither fume.Almost like nectar from a rare dangerous plant that says come here and I will hold u forever.Lasts 6/8 hrs and doesnt fade as the woody beautiful warm musky dry down enfolds

Today I am retesting some samples in my collection which I did not devote enough airtime to. Trouble made the shortlist.

Now, I have no idea what Dyer's Greenweed smells like in the wild but here it smells vegetal and somewhat fetid. Since it is now considered potentially toxic to eat, it is no suprise it would smell equally as unappealling. It is a biological imperative not to eat potentially lethal things (cues from smell and colour) which could be why my nose is involuntarily wrinkling.

Ignoring this fading note somewhat and I can get to the lemon which is a soft, candy-like lemon. Sweetish-sour & crystallised. Amber plays a large part of Trouble's evolution and drys down to the sweet slightly animalic aroma I previously mistook for musk.

The sweetness is stunning, easily the most enjoyable part of the perfume. The artificiality I mentioned previously I think comes from either the cedar or a cedar/lemon accord. Since the lemon seems to fit so well earlier in the perfume I am blaming the cedar for throwing me off.

It is by no means a bad perfume and it is certainly a lot more interesting than I gave it credit for but I stand by my previous conclusion: Meh!

I hate the smell of this one, it is too sweet and heavy. I was surprised because I like oriental floral perfumes, but you can´t like them all, I just wish that I did.

This is a soft musky deep scent. It is enjoyable but there is something artificial about it which throws me off. Meh!

wow, this is a great oriental floral: citrusy in the opening, strong jasmine presence and ambery vanilla)) has to be applied carefully tho, it's quite strong! Perfect for the evening wear, very sensual and warm))

very citrus but at the same time warm and comforting; neither the lemon nor amber is overpowering, instead they exist in beautiful harmony.

I fell in love with Trouble from the moment i first smelt it.

Yes, indeed, this might be a trouble wearing Trouble. I don’t know whether it’s a matter of body chemistry + weather or what, but sometimes the Trouble’s herbal/floral notes do not mingle well with lemon, as if they were brought together against their will. The notes stick out and do not want to form a composition. This makes me dizzy as if I were wearing glasses that are too strong for me. Fortunately, this does not happen every time I try to wear this fragrance, and if it does, the troublesome effect disappears soon. The heart and the drydown, though, are beautiful and creamy and smooth. And the bottle is a work of art.

A superb fragrance, Trouble by Boucheron is a creamy lemon meringue dessert in a bottle.

A delicious, smooth and creamy combination, it is a ultra beautiful oriental fragrance. The jasmine and citruses combined with vanilla and woods I find to be so tempting and almost sinful. I can see how you could get into "trouble" when wearing this...*smile*

In my inital spray, the most dominant notes I could detect were a satiny smooth lemon/vanilla combo. I also detected a BEAUTIFUL jasmine. Cedar and woods then appeared adding depth and binding it all together. There is sweetness, but it is not overpowering at all.

It is sensual, it is very sexy and sophisticated. Very very beautiful. Somehow this combination of ingredients have created something I find very unique and tempting.

All I can say is WOW, I am totally enamored by this gem of a fragrance. My only regret is that I did not discover this beauty sooner.

I totally recommend this fragrance - a real gem in my opinion!

Soft but strong lemony vanilla with an oh-so-slight furniture polish edge. This scent isn't dark or daring but warm, beautiful and sophisticated. You could wear it anywhere but it'd be ideal during the cooler months.

You don't need a ton of it because the lasting power is great and it has plenty of sillage.

I am truly baffled by the comparisons to Hypnotic Poison??!! HP is a warm nutty vanilla with a hint of coconut and plum while Trouble is a warm lemon cookie with a hint of sugar. o.0

And yes, Boucheron Trouble original, Eau Legere and Oscar Fresh Vanilla all smell a lot alike. ;'D As it stands, I like them all.

The opening has a smokey woodsy opening
then in a couple of minutes orange and lemon starts to appear and creamy amber and vanilla i'm not crazy about the scent but i love the burgandy theme on this perfume. elegant yes favorite no
but i don't hate it

Nice soft perfume. Smells very similar to hypnotic poison, just weaker/lighter.This would almost be a good sub for hypno if it had better staying power and strength.I would definitely recommend this if you like Hypnotic but it's too strong for you.Trouble lasted less than an hour whether on my skin or clothes.I think I'll get the lotion and see if layering will give it more depth,because the hubby really likes this and it has such a pretty bottle.

Although I believe that Boucheron's TROUBLE is misnamed, this is a beautiful fragrance with an alluring mystery note which emerges just after the bright and shortlived lemon opening. The same note is found in Calvin Klein TRUTH--uncoincidentally created also by Jacques Cavallier, who clearly does not show all his cards, as the notes listed are perfectly ordinary and do not overlap in such a way as to explain the kinship of TROUBLE and TRUTH.

The secret ingredient which makes TROUBLE a second-cousin to TRUTH, while also marking this fragrance as distinctive in its oriental floral category, is a resin--probably synthetic--of some sort. I like it as a note and it also imparts a thickness and substantiality that gives both the floral midstage and the amber-vanilla in the drydown something to cling to.

TROUBLE has good staying power in the edp and is a scrumptious, creamy and slightly sweet wrist-sniffer which I intend to add to my collection.

Sweet woody floral vanilla...really nice from start to finish. The woody notes give it a spicy quality and the jasmine and vanilla round it off with just a hint of citrus lasting (right theres no vanilla listed in the notes but it has a lovely vanilla aura). Soft, subtle, and mysterious. Possibly a bit too heavy for a hot summer day, but in cool weather it's lovely. Definitely a great evening fragrance. Now I must try Trouble eau Legere!

~ Just wanted to add, for those who may be wary of the citrus notes, they start strong, and yes the opening could be compared to a "furniture polish", a really nice smelling one, about 10 min. in those notes fade dramatically. Around an hour later the citrus notes become very soft and a lovely vanilla style aroma sets in, which is when I like it best.

This perfume was such a plasent surprise to me. I bought this one unsniffed because of the mysterious name and sexy bottle. The bottle actually looks like something you put poison inside and the one who drinks it is going to fall in love with you. Or maybe it is just my imagination :)

Anyway, it is really sweet perfume, with lemony hints. It reminds me of a very sweet cake with rose syrup. I am so in love with this perfume. Great for evenings or cold days. It is very intense and long lasting.

It's very special. It smells really good on a cold day, as i find that sweet vanilla type perfumes tend to be a little too 'sticky' in the warmer summer months. Beautiful fragrance, i got mine for a tiny $5 (Au) because i just happened to be passing a pharmacy when they were clearing out all their testers, and it was only sprayed a couple of times and full to the top.

Trouble is a warm sensual comforting floriental. I guess most men would like it eventhough it's not very loud. Trouble has notes of lemon, foxglove, jasmine, amber, cedar, and vanilla. But it actually smells of an almond note as well (not listed). Quite similar to Cinema actually.

I think it would be a lovley signature scent rather than something that you put on in the evenings when you want to leave a heavy trail. I would like to have it someday, but there´s no rush. It´s not a "must have"... Or maybe it is? The drydown is addicting. The beautiful bottle too.

wow i can really see why this is called trouble! this scent is quite "vampy" in its opening. i like it much better once it dries down. but it definitely is a head turner and one to excite! you must try it to understand.

Boucheron Trouble is to me the perfect example of name not suitable for the juice. When I hear "Trouble" as name of a perfume, I think of a perfume very unconventional, very strong, intense and not loved by many people, but only by the ones bold enough to wear it!
Trouble is quite the antithesis of that, as it is such a warm, comforting fragrance. It wraps around you silently, slowly, but surely, just like the snake that's so symbolic for it and part of the bottle's design. In this case, I believe that the snake is not a representative for SIN, but for insinuation, for slowly penetrating your space and your senses.
Boucheron smells like rice pudding to me, I get strong rice and milky notes, with a nice dollop of honey ( not sugar or sugary!).
It is somehow sultry, but not sexy, carnivorous or animalic. I tend to associate it with "I love you", rather than "I'm in love with you"-it is the scent of feelings long-lasting, settled couples and mutual affection. Definitely for your husband, not your lover, type of scent.
Where would I wear it? Well, let me tell you where I would NOT wear it: clubs, office, restaurants, anywhere I want to be remarked.
It's the perfume of muted senses, just the embodiment of true, real love, who doesn;t need to shout, but to...whisper.

Two words.....Dangerous & Sultry. I my sample from a very generous Fragrantica friend. At first spray I immediately get a wave of Sweet Vanilla and Light Lemon. After a while it settles down and becomes this romantic soft and powdery Jasmine with the Vanilla lingering in the background. I also smell a little bourbon in this fragrance and the subtle smokiness is just enough to evoke mystery. It's a grown up gourmand! It's sweet, heady, sophisticated and definitely alluring. I picture a "thirty something" Lauren Becall in a long slender all black dress suit with a matching wide brimmed hat, heels, gloves, lips dewy red, tightly curled hair and following her lover in a dark damp smoky alley. You see she is a spy and has fallen in love with her foe. She leans against the brick wall biting her lip wondering if she dare continue to follow her lover. Although she is in love with him, she must complete her assignment. She continues to follow. Ever so often her perfume wafts in the damp air and her lover looks around but she outwits him. She's dangerous, she's beautiful, she's sultry. Just like Boucheron Trouble.

Warm, lemony vanilla and jasmine in perfect harmony! I bought this one in the summer and now that winter days have come, I have the chance to explore its beauty in colder weather. It's classy, exotic and very long-lasting on my skin. It is creamy, sweet and fresh at the same time and it comes in an adorable deep red bottle.

I finally got my hands on a little bottle of Trouble! I was so excited to finally see this in the stores here! Based on the wonderful reviews I purchased it without smelling. This smells exactly like two perfumes I already have and love, Armani Code and Oscar Fresh Vanilla. One minute it smells like Code and the next like Fresh Vanilla and sometimes a combo of both. That's okay though! I'm very fond of those two and the mix is excellent! I had to double check the notes and they are very similar to Code..

lemon verbena, magnolia, digitalis, jasmine sambac, precious woods, vanilla, amber, blue cedar and tobacco smoke

The words "dark" and "sensual" seem to often be bandied about with reference to Trouble - alas! I honestly think its only the name "Trouble" that evokes those adjectives.

If I were the perfume house who marketed this (to me, again!) evanescently mundane candied citronella candle scent, I would look for a name like "Trouble" to give depth to my creation. Because Trouble has no depth, in my nose, and the greatest Trouble it creates is the dissapearing act it puts on after about 2 hours of wear.

Don't get me wrong - I don't "hate" Trouble. Its pleasant enough in a lemon candle/lemon lotion sort of way, and the bottle is beautiful. However, neither the name nor the bottle seem related to the innocuous citrus-y potion it contains. A little more dark and daring trouble would have been welcome.
And again, my apologies to all the Trouble lovers, these are my senses, this is my opinion *only*.

This one is a delicious little treat, something a woman who wants to put upon airs would wear. The initial spray has some quality about it that is overtly sexual, in kind of a not so good way. But after a couple of minutes the drydown is all lemon and powdered sugar. Yumm. This scent is heavy but also light at the same time. That sounds weird but I don't know how else to describe it. Wouldn't wear this unique fragrance everyday as it might get to be too much, but I'm going to be using my little sample a lot this winter.

well on me it smells very smililair to l exilir hypnotic poison by Dior :-)
Anyone who had the same?

I don't know...maybe my nose is out of whack with the rest of the world, but I don't get this one at all...
The start is a super strong screeching lemon blast which almost makes my teeth squeak, similar to chewing on a lemon peel. I don't find it refreshing or feminine in any way, just too too much! This only lasts a about a minute, followed by a mushy slightly floral middle which quickly morphs into a gel vitamin smeared on my wrist. After about an hour, I get lemony vanilla, similar to lemon cream pie. That's it. Sexy? Mysterious? Uh, no..
The notes don't seem to blend together at all (is vitamin gel a note?) but clash and struggle from top to bottom.
I usually love cedar (Capri) and amber (Fluers de Rocaille, Carolina, White Diamonds) but this scent doesn't have the lovely warm dark nuance of amber or the fresh sweet smell of cedar at all.
It seems to lack focus, wandering around in a muddle of scents and never hitting the mark.
I don't find it comforting as others do, but if they toned down the citrus top, perked up the jasmine middle,got rid of the vitamin smell and added a little incense at the bottom, this might be a truly standout scent.
As it is now, not a keeper for me.

Oooo, Trouble! A very fitting name for a dark & daring, womanly perfume.

Trouble is what I'll be wearing on Hallow'een this year. She fits the bill perfectly: mysterious, deep, smokey, voluptuous & she'll last all night long without corruption. Trouble smells dangerous....in a good way!

Once the citrus opener is tamed, the perfume is all about the jasmine - dark caramel & incense-smoked jasmine ....there is nothing delicate & light about this midnight beauty! The cedar adds a seductive smokey woodsy feel, the amber is rich, warm & inviting. The lemon doesn't lighten the scent (it isn't sour or tart) but it does brighten her dark side, giving her ruby-red richness a glorious, golden glow.

They say the scent of Dyer's Broom can tame both man & beast - Trouble is certainly bewitching & has the strength of a lion. Sillage is good & on my skin the dry-down is a smooth, buttery caramel with the merest hint of citrus, but this is many, many hours later.

I like Trouble. She is a wicked, independent beauty confidently walking in the shadows to a masquerade ball, her black cape with red silk lining flowing behind her.

I have ordered this online untested based on all the fantastic reveiws! I love lemon and all citruses and I love vanila, so I thouht this could be great. I have sprayed it on a scarf for the first test, because I was already wearing a different fragrance and couldn't wait to try it and I was instantly in shock. It was pure incense and nothing else! Nothing at all, but an orienal shop full of burning incense sticks! I could not believe that I am the only person to experience this...could it be that the bottle is off? In any case I have decided to try again on my skin - this time I could smell the citrus and the very strong incense smell only lasted a few seconds. It quite quickly faded and although I can clearly identify it still after 6 or more hours, it's mild and not disturbing and unpleasant any more. After half an hour or so the fragrance started to be very pleasant and getting better and better all the time! I could finaly agree with all the positive reviews, after several hours the scent on my skin is lovely, sweet, warm, unique and full of vanila.

Update: either I got used to it somehow, or it was just that the first few sprays of the fragrance were somehow harsher, but I don't find it that strong any more. Very, very, very pleasant!

+ I just got the body oil also and that is slightly different, pretty subtle and really exquisite, but sadly it fades away quite quickly. Adorable fragrance all in all.

Lovely perfume! Very skillful combination of citrus, jasmine and ambar.Moderately sweet , so as to give idea of comfort and warmth! I'm glad that at me!

I'm really disappointed to know it's discontinued. One of my latest catches and I would love to repurchase again. It really smells great on me and I consider it one of the best fragrances produced in the last 10 years.

On my skin, this is honey, muted, dark, rather sexy...I can trace vanilla and amber too, delicious if not mind-blowing.

I'm not surprised it's been discontinued however, as I've heard from more than one person that there's a flaw in the design of the bottle which isn't good for the chemistry of the perfume within...apparently, in the bottle, the fragrance doesn't 'keep'. Please take this only as heresay as I don't own a bottle and can't swear to the truth or otherwise of this rumour. If the bottle's the problem, I hope Trouble will be back on the market soon, in a container just as classy but kinder to its contents!

Another classy, feminine, long lasting from the house of Boucheron.
I would categorize it as oriental spicy. I don't feel the jasmine; also the lemony top notes fade very quickly. What remain are the strong vanilla & amber. I would say if I'm to layer JPG Classique and Organza, the outcome will be Trouble.

Also want to add that there is a tiny tiny tiny difference between the spray and the solid... They smell the same except that the spray is slightly slighty spicier/pepperier. The solid seems to be missing that spicy edge, just the sweetness.

I just got this in the solid perfume and a sample spray of the liquid, and it's quickly becoming my new favorite!!!!!! Wow! I'm not sure how to describe the scent, but what other reviewers have been saying are spot on! There's a lemony-ness, there's a warm slight caramel sweetness, and "hug me" type of quality about it. It also comes in a gorgeous gold compact! Wow, can't wait to use this up! :D So happy for my new find. :) Usually when fragrances get rave reviews I find that they don't live up to my expectations, in this case they exceed my expectations!

I love trouble..so sexy lemon vanilla i have never smelled before.And the bottle is to die for,i love snakes so just the bottle it self makes me want it more.Great for naughty girls who loves trouble..hehe

My fiance loves this on me. Very strong and lasts all day (the perfume that is). Don't make the mistake of putting too much on or you won't be able smell anything else. Very sexy, sweet and dark. The vanilla is very rich and distinct. A little smoky but this kept fresh by the lemon/jasmine element. Divine.

According to what I've read about this perfume,I expected not to like this perfume.but I was wrong.it's not that heavy nor annoying.maybe it's too much for everyday use,but it smells great anyway.
do you like a powdery scent of lemon?that's it.the lemon is very strong,but it's not a kind of fresh,summer lime.it's rich and powdery.in fact it reminds me a bit Crystal Noir.both have the same impression for me.maybe the difference is that trouble is more into spicy notes,while Crystal Noir is more into coconut and sweet notes.
that bottle is really nice,with the sensual dark red color,in a quite simple cube bottle with precious opening.
it's a better version of dior addict.oriental floral lovers will admire it and I like it.though I love the bottle Ican't decide wether I like this one or crystal noir more.

After strong lemon opening there is some Jasmin but luckily not much as I'm not very fond of strong Jasmin scents. Then I get a lot of cedar, which I love, with a delicate amber edge. Long lasting and sharp but not strong. A very nice oriental fragrance for evening wear or even for day wear if not overdosed. I don't get what might be troublesome about this fragrance, too sexy? That actually would be good :)

What a creamy, rich jasmine!I tried it several days ago and Trouble is delightful. It has a lemony freshness that does not let it become just another jasmine scent. Nothing synthetic or cheap, it smells really rich and makes you feel your best.For me it felt like fireworks - a beautiful multi-petal fragrance opened to me and filled me with joy! I am longing for bottle.

It smells like Pledge furniture polish on the first whiff. Then it settles into a sort of coffee breath fragrance, it's a little disturbing in that perspective. A bit weird and very original.

Trouble reminded me of Kingdom by Alexander McQueen, only sweeter. I definitely smell ginger root in it, though it`s not in the notes.Vanilla and citrus almost make it gourmand, but that`s just it - almost.There is something bitter-fresh about it,like a very tight string of a bow - a deeply dangerous, dark side to it.However...it is just light enough to wear it everyday.May be certain men can pull it off, too!

I bought this one in Italy years ago.. very sensual, oriental scent, I like the dark red colour and shape of its bottle, it reminds me of some kind of precious treasury box of an elegant french lady.

I bought this on sale and was told it's now discontinued. I cannot remember the exact price, but I got a deal on it. I haven't worn it a lot simply because I do love it and want to prolong it's life in my collection. Even when it's all gone, I'll have fond memories of it and will keep the bottle. Something in it reminds me of Dior Addict, only it isn't as raw and sultry. It's more subtle sexy.. quite a flirty fragrance without being fruity or too strong. I get the lemon in the beginning, and the jasmine holds onto the woods and amber until the drydown.

You are very right Annie-D I have worn this a lot more since I left that review & it is softer then addict.It is also easier to get away with.I think you said it perfectly when you said Addict has more of a raw sexual side.Addict also doesn't have the lemony cream topping like Trouble (which is by the way a new favorite of mine) ;)

This is a light soft oriental floral, not loud or obtrusive. It has a powdery like opening that stays for the entire life of the perfume. The lemon comes in nicely with the vanilla giving it the right amount of sour to go with the sweet. I could see this in many situations, out to a dinner or a close encounter when someone will wonder what it is. Although in some ways it does represent Addict I think it is much softer with the powdery tones. Addict has a more raw sexual side to it, where clearly someone could get addicted to the untamed underlying essence of it. Trouble is simply that it seduces you quietly and softly whispering sweet nothings in your ear under you are under its sweet spell. I am sensing the vanilla more now but like I said the powdery notes, jasmine and amber balances it so nicely so that it's not overpowering. Nicely done a winner in my book!

The name, the bottle and the commercial speak about a very interesting, mysterious, sexual, seductive and intriguing scent. I was very keen to try it, imaging everything of the above. In fact, there are no such things. Just an average oriental perfume with sweet vanilla scent. Not bad at all but I don’t find anything unique or something special in it.
Suitable for winter season or for summer nights.

I like this alot, although it doesn't really scream "unique" to me. Maybe because I tend to gravitate towards the same kind of scent; heavier orientals with plenty of vanilla. I think my tastes are changing, I would like to have seen a smokey-wood note in this....or maybe just a bit less vanilla? Still a good scent, and the hubby likes it!
