About This Perfume
Think sunlit citrus, smoky tobacco, resinous oud: that is Fragonard Desert. It opens with citrus notes, moves into spicy notes, saffron and woody notes and settles on tobacco, Oud and beeswax. It leans masculine, though anyone can wear it.
This fragrance is best in spring, fall and winter and is easy to wear day or night. A good pick for casual days.
In the community's experience it lasts roughly a working morning or afternoon, and projects to about arm's length.
Is it right for you?
- Best for: anyone after something woody and grounded for casual days.
- Sample first if: spicy is new territory for you.
- Skip if: you dislike woody fragrances.
Around $71.
