I got this as a Sephora sample and have been test driving it for about a week.

I really like this fragrance. It is rather unisex, more androgynous than male or female specifically. I hate the name. I hate the sexist, gold digging marketing concept. I enjoy the fragrance despite that. It reminds me of what I smelled like when I would borrow my boyfriend's (high school-1990s) sweater and use my own perfume that morning, as well.

I'd buy it if it was rebranded, but as is, I can't do it. My feminist card would be revoked.

The original Boyfriend is my current favorite perfume so I was excited to try this out when I got a sample. This was horrible! Smells like super strong old lady perfume. I sprayed just a tiny drop on my wrist and it stunk up the whole room like a dead old lady. It gave me and my boyfriend a headache. I washed it off but it still lingered on my arms all day even though I scrubbed it twice. So nasty and such a disappointment.

Got a sample from Sephora. Yuck. Smells cheap. Specifically, it smells like a cheap drugstore perfume from the 80's, something by Coty maybe, can't quite put my finger on it.

I'm a huge fan of the original Boyfriend fragrance. Billionaire Boyfriend is disappointing. I received my sample of this perfume in a Sephora order. I actually really like the scent after it has settled for a long time. 12+hrs. However, the initial strong blast of gardenia ruins it for me. Would not purchase the full size.

I really like this fragrance - my skin tends to eat any scent I put on, but this one lingers - I enjoy the somewhat exotic melange of notes. Reminds me a bit of opium or the other strong scents of the 80's - a little goes a LOOOONG way. HTH.

Wow, what insanely sexist and offensive marketing. That by itself was enough to put me off and put it up with a critique for all to see. Revulsive. That aside, I gave it a fair chance fragrance-wise, and found it weirdly masculine and dusty. Dusty? Seriously? It's as if someone was trying to emulate the smell of old currency bills or expensive libraries and sneak it into a scent. No. I *kind* of liked this at first try, but on second, it is somewhat too masculine [this from a girl that happily sprays D&G The One for men or PR's Million on herself ...I could probably even live with Spicebomb] but has a weird play-dough gardenia scent that would repel a man from wearing it, too.

This does not make me feel like a sophisticate with a rich bf. It makes me feel like I've been blackmailed into being with some creepy weirdo that doesn't bathe and have adopted the musty, musky smell myself. Euagh.

Blahhhhh smells very generic, to me it smells like a men's generic cologne, so its way too overpriced for that. And the packaging? Tacky.
Really wanted to like it, disappointed.


When first sprayed I smelled something sweet in the middle of the alcohol burst and thought I would like it but it changed completely once dry. Also, its the weirdest thing but after the dry down this smells like a slightly soggy diaper, I am completely 100% serious if you ever get the chance to sample this maybe youll see what I am talking about. Really dont think thats what Kate was aiming for!

Both are masculine women fragrances. I personally like the original better that the new one. I have both.

I got this as a sample from Sephora. On me it smells very masculine. Maybe that's why it has Boyfriend in the name. I will not purchase.

The scent is dominated by gardenia on first spray, it didnt take long to give me a headache, so although the drydown is a bit more lush and warm, I cant tolerate the scent!! I think on the right person though it would smell really nice!

I received a free sample of this. I do not like anything about this. A mixed up bunch of florals that never really develop into anything nice. I washed this off. Will not buy.

This really doesn't do it for me--it's just a bunch of flowers, and it's nothing I haven't smelled a hundred times before. Not distinctive at all. The bottle is really gaudy, too. The original Boyfriend is my favorite scent so I was looking forward to the sequel, but for me this perfume is lacking.

"Bergamot, Tangerine, Green Lush Leaf, Black Jasmine, Black Velvet Orchid, Gardenia, Patchouli Flower, Amber, Cistus, Vetiver, Sandalwood."

I'm still not sure what to think about this fragrance as a whole. I do think that the bottle is rather pretty (metallic and unusual), but the advertisements and name/concept are a bit weird. The scent also isn't quite what I was expecting... it doesn't smell rich or sophisticated to me at all, but has more of a patchouli-hippie feel to it.

I first tried this on without knowing the notes and thought that it smelled like dry patchouli, baby powder, and heliotrope (sweet, powdery, vanilla-y floral). Very strong on the patchouli and powdery elements, but the patchouli isn't as rich or spicy-ish as the patchoulis that I enjoy. It kind of has a cheap headshop patchouli oil + baby powder scent on my skin.

I wanted to like this for the interesting bottle and Kate Walsh's attempt at being playful with the scent, but the scent itself is a bit of a dud on me.
