Boucheron Brings Parisian Glamour to Madison Avenue

The vibrant streets of New York have long been a canvas for iconic luxury brands, and now the city has welcomed one of Paris’s most legendary jewelers. Boucheron, the historic jewelry maison, has officially opened its first-ever Manhattan boutique at 747 Madison Avenue, giving the Big Apple an exciting new jewel in its crown.


Why New York, you ask? According to Boucheron’s CEO, Hélène Poulit-Duquesne, it’s been a dream in the making for a decade. “New York has been on our radar since I joined the company,” she shared. The city, known for its demanding clientele who expect nothing but the best, seemed like the perfect fit. And after five years of searching for the ideal spot, Boucheron finally found its home among luxury neighbors like Chanel and Pomellato.


The 3,900-square-foot boutique offers more than just a shopping experience—it’s a celebration of the brand’s heritage and its evolution. Inspired by both the elegance of Paris and the flair of New York, the boutique fuses these two fashion capitals in its design. Inside, you'll find nods to Boucheron's flagship on Place Vendôme, like chandeliers from Maison Delisle and a green lacquered chest reminiscent of the one in Paris. But what truly sets this boutique apart is its distinctly New York vibe, embracing the sleek geometry and bold style of the American Art Deco movement.


Each Boucheron boutique around the world tells a unique story, and the Madison Avenue location is no exception. The VIP rooms, each designed with a different narrative, invite guests to immerse themselves in a luxurious yet relaxed setting. Poulit-Duquesne explained, “It’s about feeling at home, being in a family home,” and this ambiance is reflected throughout the space.

Of course, no Boucheron boutique would be complete without its dazzling array of jewels. The Quatre collection, which celebrates its 20th anniversary this year, takes center stage. Known for its striking mix of textures and gold colors, it’s a favorite among American clients for its innovative and bold design. And for those who love a little whimsy, the boutique offers Boucheron’s beloved animal characters, from Wladimir the Cat to Hopi the Hummingbird.


To mark its grand debut in New York, Boucheron hosted a stunning three-day pop-up at the Cooper-Hewitt Museum, just 30 blocks away. This exclusive event showcased a high jewelry collection never before seen in the US, alongside vintage treasures from Boucheron’s heritage, like an Art Nouveau diamond and ruby brooch and a bracelet once owned by Wallis Simpson.

Now that Boucheron has made its mark on Madison Avenue, the maison has no plans of slowing down. Within the next year, they’re set to open boutiques in Las Vegas, Los Angeles, and Miami, with plans to add about two new US locations annually.


For Poulit-Duquesne, the expansion into the US is a long-term investment. “Coming to the US is not a one-shot deal,” she emphasized. “You have to invest for ten years at minimum to be sure you have the right presence.” And with Boucheron’s timeless elegance and bold creativity, it’s clear the brand is here to stay.



New York, your jewelry scene just got a little more dazzling. Welcome, Boucheron!

Maison Psyché, the ultra-luxurious perfume house of the Rémy Cointreau Group, continues to push the boundaries of haute parfumerie with its latest olfactory creation, Éclat d’Ombre. This limited-edition masterpiece is a sensorial journey, infused with deep, woody contrasts that evoke the mystery and richness of time itself. Since its groundbreaking debut, Maison Psyché has redefined the fragrance landscape by marrying the worlds of fine perfumery and exceptional spirits. Through its pioneering process of sublimating essences in Cognac cellars, the House has perfected the art of metamorphosis—blending, transforming, and elevating the rarest raw materials into olfactory treasures. “Maison Psyché draws on its ancestral savoir-faire to create a new level of excellence in perfumery,” shares Catherine Sardin, Managing Director of Maison Psyché. “Our natural, artisanal approach achieves a veritable art of metamorphosis, delivering vibrant, richly aromatic fragrances.”  A tribute to the timeless expertise of Maison Rémy Martin, Éclat d’Ombre pays homage to those who have imparted their wisdom to the House, enriching its craft. As with its predecessors—Alexanor, Belle-Dame, Alcyone, Nymphalis, and Hamadryas—this fragrance embarks on a journey to the heart of Cognac, where nature’s bounty transforms in the depths of the Maison’s revered cellars. A chypre composition of luminous and shadowy elements, Éclat d’Ombre conjures the sensory contrasts of Cognac’s terroir. It oscillates between warm sunlight and cool shade, revealing luscious woody accords and intoxicating floral nuances. The scent is an invitation into a hidden world, where eaux-de-vie and perfume essences evolve in quiet harmony. True to the House’s philosophy, Éclat d’Ombre is the creation of an exceptional duo: Master Perfumer Sophie Labbé and Maison Rémy Martin’s Cellar Master Baptiste Loiseau. “It is a delicate balance of bright citrus, the captivating power of rose enhanced by osmanthus, and the shadowy, earthy freshness of patchouli,” Labbé describes. Loiseau adds, “The time spent in barrels and the metamorphosis in contact with wood imparts a rounder, more elegant character—apricot, creamy textures, and a deep, balsamic intensity.” More than a fragrance, Éclat d’Ombre is an objet d’art. Limited to just 30 numbered crystal flacons, each bottle is adorned with an 18-carat gold cameo—an exquisite symbol of rarity and refinement. This collector’s edition is available exclusively by appointment at Maison Psyché’s Salon at Place Vendôme in Paris and in Cognac, as well as through the House’s private advisors worldwide. For connoisseurs who seek the extraordinary, Éclat d’Ombre is an invitation to experience the alchemy of nature and time—an ephemeral jewel that lingers on the skin, radiant and untamed. Founded in 2021, Maison Psyché stands at the crossroads of nature and luxury, reviving the grand traditions of perfumery with a visionary approach. Rooted in the legacy of Rémy Cointreau, the House is the first to craft its fragrances within Cognac cellars, embracing the transformative magic of oak wood and time itself. Each scent is a living masterpiece—an exquisite fusion of craftsmanship, intuition, and the relentless pursuit of perfection. For those who understand that true luxury is an experience, Maison Psyché is the pinnacle of olfactory artistry.
