Resembling or characteristic of a boudoir; intimate, elegant, and tastefully decorated in the style of a woman's private sitting room.
From 'boudoir' (French 'boudir' meaning 'to pout,' from 'boud' meaning 'to sulk') + -esque suffix (meaning 'in the manner of'). The -esque suffix comes from Italian and creates adjectives meaning 'resembling or suggestive of.'
Boudoirs became such a symbol of feminine luxury and privacy that the word itself carries scandal and intrigue—Victorian novels and films used 'boudoir' to suggest secrets and romance behind closed doors!
