A closer look at the picks
For Fragonard Jasmin Perle de Thé (Eau de Parfum, 2026), expect sunlit jasmine tea and soft powdery woods: bergamot and lemon up top, guaiac wood, white musk and cedar underneath. Fragonard Belle d'Amour (2024) comes across as fresh green rose petals with sweet bergamot, with angelica and bergamot at the start and vanilla, cedar and amber at the base. Fragonard L'Air de Grasse (Eau de Toilette, 2026) reads as citrus-sweet roses, powdery and fresh, opening on mandarin orange and drying down to patchouli and iris.
