Smell name, brand name, all the same!
Hey, guys, I'm coming to see Fragonard today. Since I had entered myself for some of these fragrances in the list of the hiking package here, I have apparently also committed myself to write Kommis!!! If I'd known that, I'd never have gone through with it, aaargh!!!!!
Hey he he, but lucky that I like to write commissions, so everything is no problem, even if I think that some of the scents might end up as a statement, but that will come out later. I'd like to start with "Fragonard". Yes, the name of the fragrance here is the same as the brand name, which is not unusual, as many brand names often have a fragrance in their repertoire that carries the brand name. The only thing that bothers me is that sometimes you can't find the right fragrance here on Parfumo right away, especially if it's a brand that has already released at least 2000 fragrances and you see ALL the fragrances when you type the name, if the name of the fragrance should also be the brand name.... Aaargh!!!
Never mind, but I have now fished out the right scent from the database and do what I always do: talk and describe the sniffed out scent :)
Another flowery note I smell I can't really identify, because I always have my problems with certain flowery scents. However, it smells very nice, loose, slightly bitter green and above all white flowers. Could be the honeysuckle.
The citric notes become a little weaker later and more and more replaced by a light neroli, but still the scent remains quite fresh and light later. The sweetish one, which is not very intense but rather a bit discreet, seems to come from the amber.
Towards the end the fragrance still smells quite flowery, slightly sweet (where the slight sweetness comes more from the musk) and still fresh, but the flowers seem to come across a little dry or stuffy every now and then, as it is the case with many flower fragrances, but here this is not disturbing, because the fragrance has turned out to be very beautiful by and large and this stuffy impression is more noticeable at the beginning of the base briefly and disappears later rather again. Otherwise, light, woody notes are added. The later base seems to be a bit heavier, but the charisma doesn't stay that strong. All in all a nice fragrance without special strengths.
Fragonard by, well, Fragonard just became a nice, floral scent. It also has light, sweetish notes that are not too strong, so that even those who don't like sweet scents could take a look here.
The fragrance is generally quite nice, but belongs to the rather discreet and weak fragrances, with which you will not necessarily attract attention. But that's exactly why it is suitable as a fragrance at work or where you don't want to annoy your fellow men with strong smells. But if you want to annoy your fellow men, I recommend either the EDP of Thierry Mugler's Angel or Tom Ford's Black Orchid, the latter being really heavy and the EDT smelling of it to run away :D
Despite its unobtrusive charisma, it has a rather feminine touch and therefore comes across quite nicely when you look at it up close. By the way, it is best to use it in spring and summer, as it is also light and loose.
Well, that would have been my first Fragonard, at least from this hiking package. My impression was mostly good, so let's see how the other fragrances in the package smell. You know me, I'll tell you about most fragrances one way or the other, whether you like it or not,... no wait, that sounded somehow maliciously villainous of me, but you know what I mean, don't you? :)
Well then, have a nice evening :)

The fragrance:
The fragrance begins with citrus and floral notes. Lemon and mandarin seem to alternate from the citric ones, while jasmine and loose lilies are the most noticeable among the flowers. Besides, the scent also seems to be powdery, which comes across nicely. Another flowery note I smell I can't really identify, because I always have my problems with certain flowery scents. However, it smells very nice, loose, slightly bitter green and above all white flowers. Could be the honeysuckle.

The Sillage and the shelf life:
The Sillage is averagely failed and is therefore neither particularly weak nor really strong. For a short while, he'll be nice to smell from up close. The shelf life of more than ten hours is quite good. The bottle:
The bottle seems to be cylindrical and ends with a dome and looks like a slightly raised snow globe. The bottom was vaulted inwards, with a floral pattern worked into the glass. On the front you can see a nice, coloured label with a flower picture on it. The gold-plated lid is round on the upper side and shows the name of the brand at the bottom. A nice bottle.
