Bouvardia was an iconic 20th century De Laire base of citrus with orange flower and jasmine nuances. Beloved by Francois Coty and used skillfully in L'Origan (at 0.8%), it is now available to the market for the first time in decades.
It hints at the highly scented notes of both flowers and due to its somewhat ambiguous nature blends beautifully with many other floral materials. It is a wonderful nuancer for top notes based on bergamot and it is beautifully at home in oriental types.
This early De Laire base is more of a citrus top note base than a heart base, making it a rather unique product.
Warning: This is a raw material for the manufacture of perfumes. Do not consume. Do not apply directly to skin. Keep out of reach of children.
Appearance: Yellow liquid
Longevity: lasts 168 hours on a smelling strip
General Information
General Information
Like most suppliers and makers of quality raw materials for fragrances, we do not filter many of our products. This ensures that no odiferous matter is lost prior to use but can result in the appearance of small particles or slight clouding.
All alcoholic fragrances should be macerated for up to a month and then chilled in a moderate freezer overnight before being filtered fine. This will remove all cloudiness or detritus and is the industry norm.

Customer Reviews
I was very surprised by the very neroli facette of your base, which doesn’t match the description I had from the osmoteque which is in French sorry for this : bouquet floral construit autour des methyl ionone à l’odeur poudrée évoquant la note fraîche et très montante d’une fleur de jasmin ou d’une rose. Are you sure it is no confusion with another De Laire base?
Hi Philippe, there were multiple Bouvardia bases back then. Bouvardia was classed by De Laire as a jasmine / rose like material and there is certainly a large neroli facet also which is why it worked so well in L'Origan where orange blossom was so important. There was also the great Bouvardia 125 from Roure which is a methyl ionone based floral. We don't stock it at the moment but we are planning to do so.
One of my favorite bases I've purchased from Jamie. I've tested it in a variety of different contexts but especially love it with amber materials.
This was unexpected! I was kind of anticipating a heavier floral base, but what I found was a lovely, toppy scent that provided the lift that things like neroli and petitgrain give, but smelling more unique.
If you need to give your fragrance a shiny orange flower top not, I suggest considering using this instead of classic orange flower materials or accords - compared to Fleur D'Oranger, this is more citrusy, and just more happy.
A really beautiful and ethereal citrus floral top note. Very noticeable even in trace amounts. I have read about this old school floral base for years and am so excited to find it available for use to us hobby perfumists. Knowing this material was used in perfume legends like Coty L'Origan is just amazing. Quality work by Mr. Frater.
