Billionaire Boyfriend is the newest perfume in the Boyfriend perfume line created by actress Kate Walsh. Boyfriend was launched in November of 2010. The brand started after Walsh broke up with her boyfriend and desired a "boyfriend in a bottle." The latest addition to her collection is Billionaire Boyfriend which launched in February 2012.
Yes, I am a little behind... I recently received a surprise sample of it from Sephora and was hesitant to try it since I'm not a fan of the original Boyfriend perfume.
Sephora.com describes it as: Indulgent and sensual, this floral-oriental fragrance opens with succulent fruit notes, including bergamot and tangerine wrapped in lush green leaves. The scent intoxicates as it blooms into a provocative blend of black jasmine, velvet orchid, gardenia, and a touch of patchouli flower. As the fragrance dries down, it exudes an addictive, sensual, warmth and a sense of wealth with hints of vetiver, cistus, sandalwood, and golden amber.
My thoughts:
I find Billionaire to be quite different from Walsh's first perfume. Boyfriend was a little on the strong side for me, and while, yes, this perfume is still stronger than I'm used to wearing, the smell does die down some after it sinks in. It also defiantly smells warm and floral, but not the type of floral that most women's perfumes smell like. This is different and has more of a musky (sandalwood) smell. When I'm wearing it, I feel sexy.
This perfume is definitely not for everyone and has mixed reviews all over the internet. Overall, I really like it and it is something I would consider purchasing.
Billionaire Boyfriend is available at Walsh's website as well as Sephora and HSN.
