Belle Cherie

In the opening you really get the tangerine, cinnamon, and a touch of creaminess from the vanilla. Yum! That said, if you judge this just on the opening, you'll think this is very young smelling and that it smells like every other "fruity floral" on the market. But give it time! I gets more sophisticated and womanly and on me at least, morphs into an oriental floral. After about 10 minutes the EDT smells almost exactly like how I remember Tuscany per Donna by Estee Lauder (which I used to wear often in the 90's and early 2000's). I have tried the EDT and the Parfum, and on me they have equal longevity. The Parfum smells a bit richer, and the EDT more ethereal. But they are both excellent. I love Fragonard and I think they make excellent quality fragrances, and their prices are reasonable.

I'm sure this perfume must have some serious aromatherapeutic properties! I bought it without testing, sprayed liberally on cold November morning and rushed off to work. The scent that surrounded me that day was one of the prettiest, most mood-lifting things I have ever smelled! Fizzy, fruity cocktail with a hint of vanilla. Sour tangerine dominates for good few hours then it softens and is slowly replaced by soft flowery notes. Delicious and subtle. It's neither unforgettable, unique nor groundbreaking composition. But it will make you feel fresh, confident, comfortable and at least 10 years younger.

i have had belle cherie parfum in a little gold aluminium flacon for awhile now and never reached for it until yesterday. its now spring in australia and i sprayed belle cherie in my hair, on my wrists and once on my clothing and went to work. this is such a gorgeous fragrance. i am dumbfounded why i didnt think this before. maybe the warmer weather sets it off but all night i kept getting wafts of a lovely, soft, vanilla/ floral well blended fragrance. although not a sillage monster, the wafts were enough for my pure enjoyment...

An adorable feminine fruity-floral that lifts my spirits. I love the distinctive opening with the star fruit. I'm not surprised to read in the comments that 90% of women like this. I can't imagine many people being challenged or repulsed by Belle Cherie; it is charming and very good quality. I'm in my 40s and don't feel like this is "too young" for me. I am rather in love with Fragonard perfumes at the moment. For those who prefer something spicier, I also recommend Grain de Soleil, which is a beautiful oriental.

This is the last purchase I have made, although I have already bought it over the years already three times it is always a pleasure to be able to find it .. For me it is very good, you feel good flowers, fruits and woods. Despite being an EDT it is really very persistent if sprayed abundantly I can smell the fragrance even the day after .. Fragonard is synonymous with elegance and quality! To have absolutely in the collection! Top Top

After visiting the store and museum in Paris near the Opera House, I didn't want to leave without a perfume for myself. After sampling almost all the perfumes, I fell in love with this one! It is very sweet, the sweetest of all the perfumes I have. And it is long lasting and empowering, so I only put on a little during special occasions like evening parties.

Lovely and joyful. It's fruity and sweet, it smells like a sunny summer day. At the same time I can smell vanilla notes which make it sweet as an fruit pie. It reminds me of Nina - Nina Ricci.

Inoffensive, delicate, pleasing, close to skin scent: this is REAL French perfumistry at its best: it’s an invitation, not a shout :))). Invitation to come closer :))).

It might smell kinda familiar because there are many fruity-vanilla fragrances on the market with similar structure but I find the quality to be much higher and incomparable to most fruity fragrances we find these days. Don't label it as a generic fragrance from a random brand because it is not. The carambola opening is surprisingly realistic and then it morph into a mix of all other components. As oppose to other fruity fragrances it's not decaying into a common sweet vanilla scent, the fruity smell stays for a while. It's suitable for all ages. I would find it pretty on more mature women 100%. I'm always in for a good fruity scent. Since most are of mediocre quality with synthetic smells, I'm glad I found that one. I don't think that perfume can annoy someone to be honest. It's quite safe for everyday office wear. So far I've got a couple of compliments, this is a crowd pleaser. Fragonard seems to make a couple of these scents. Étoile is another great one.

My mom gave this to me. The first thing I think when I smell this is "tropical" - although I cannot make out what exactly it is that smells tropical, this definitely makes me think of beaches and sweet, cool drinks. I agree that this is somehow similar to Nina by Nina Ricci. They both have a very sweet candy-like smell, but while Nina has a very strong smell, Belle Cherie smells very sweet, but the smell isn't very strong. I Find Nina quite one-dimentional, while there's definitely something under the main, sweet smell of Belle Cherie. Belle Cherie smells nicer to me than Nina. I would buy Belle Cherie rather than Nina, if I had to chose, but Nina is cheaper. Another fragrance this reminds me even more of, and is much cheaper than Nina is Passion by Avon, which have that same, star fruit top notes, jasmine and vanilla. Try Passion if you want a similar sweet, fruity, quite complex fragrance, especially if you enjoy the top notes of Belle Cherie.

Just used my sample of this... it smells extremely feminine and beautiful, whilst also being very soft. I think I would definitely enjoy owning this, although I’m not sure when I would take the leap and buy it. It’s not overpriced or anything, it’s just that I would want to be very sure to spend £44 for 50ml. It would make a beautiful gift, it’s so feminine and inoffensive I don’t imagine anyone wouldn’t enjoy it. It’s light but also a touch creamy and powdery. I think a Disney princess would wear this, maybe show white in particular. It’s very pure. I get the vibe this would disappear pretty quickly, although I am using the EDT wipe sample, which may not reflect its performance properly. This is lovely, I really recommend it and think many people would love this. Could definitely be considered a hidden gem.

I received this as a gift. When I first sprayed it on, my initial thought was that this was a heavy one. It opens up strong. But then comes the drydown and it softens up. The drydown is lovely! It's softsweet and a bit powdery with a hint of orange. It does remind me of another perfume but I don't know which one. There's a note which makes it a bit more interesting than other perfumes, I think it's the carambola. To smell it you really have to press your nose against your skin, it's like a secret note, for those close to you! Sillage is good, about lastingpower, to me it smelled a lot softer after a few hours, but when I woke up the day after I could still smell it, so I would say very good! Maybe not ideal for hot summers, more for colder days and evenings.

Based on EDT concentration. Fragonard Belle Chérie opens with sweet mouthwatering tangerine and crisp carambole. The fruity notes soon become creamy as vanilla, sandalwood and heliotrope come to play. They provide a smooth base, but don't overpower the whole scent. With time, jasmine and lily of the valley complement the fruity elements. Belle Chérie remains a carefree fruity fragrance throughout, but never becomes saccharine candy-like. The sillage is relatively close and the longevity is around 7 hours. Belle Chérie is a solid fruity fragrance, lighthearted and playful. It will be a lovely casual fragrance for warm weathers.

At first sniff and on my skin, it's cinnamon and mandarin (tangerine according to the ingredients). Absolutely delicious for me who is a fan of cinnamon. A little hint of vanilla is then added. This Belle Chérie smells very good, it is fruity/spicy/vanilla, I like it! But I have a little doubt about the projection which seems quite weak to me (note that I test this using a wet wipe, the test is therefore far from optimal...). Although this lack of "strength" could be a problem for me, I might try to buy it because I like this smell of cinnamon...

On one hand I think this smells to sweet and fruity on me - I don't usually wear fruity perfumes AT ALL. On the other hand, this smells like figgin' candy - I can't resist! The most fitting word is "juicy", I think. It's very juicy, fruity candy. As long as I don't over-spray and don't smell this directly from my skin, this smells just... very yummy. Probably not recommended for people on a diet. I like this much better in colder than in warm weather.

Juicy, youthful and bright at first. Exotically enchanting. Very sweet but not obnoxiously so. With time it becomes even sweeter I believe, in more mature way and vanilla starts coming through. Drydown is very much inspired by some of the best fruity florientals of the '90. Well thought, beautifuly layered and composed. And so not my cup of tea. But, I can admire something this charming and well done.

On me this is like a soapy sweet floral mixture. It’s not overwhelming but somehow I feel I’m too ‘dark and twisted’ to properly appreciate this most days. I only get a hint of star fruit and almost no citrusy notes of tangerine. The flowers come all the way through. It’s a slightly thoughtless scent, if you like l’artisan parfumeur la chasse aux papillons you’ll probably like this as well.

Spicy fruity scent. The cinnamon is there but doesn't overpower the fruity notes. It is a very girly scent. It wears light and the longevity might be around 2-3 hours max. Inoffensive and pretty, would be a good gift for a romantic girl. The presentation is gorgeous. It comes with an embroidered bag that looks like something from the past and it is just cute and nice to see and to have.

Daytime, casual but very nice, ladylike, inoffensive. Would make a good gift because it smells like it contains good ingredients and is well balanced. It's pleasant and pretty and womanly and reasonably priced without being cheap. Good quality. Safe to gift. Welcoming and does not overwhelm.

A fruity, sweet perfume that reminds me of a lot of the other popular fragrances aimed at late teens-young twenties. It's fresh and fruity and not too heavy. It sort of reminds me of a younger, peppier version of Miss Dior Cherie.

I was introduced to this sweet, lovely fragrance at the Fragonard Musée du Parfum in Paris. The guide said around 90% of women loved this perfume. Well, I quite agree with her. And, yeah, I love wearing it all year round.

This is a sweet fragrance, suitable for ages up to 25 It lasts longer than your average edt and has good sillage My bottle turned bad after 12 months though but I didn't have it completely away from light

Fresh, juicy and aquatic floral. Delicious, light and uplifting. It reminds me of feijoas, because the fruit notes have an almost grainy feel that reminded me of the texture of a feijoa.

Casual fruity floral. I thought I got cherry in the beginning but that might have been cinnamon, which was fleeting. It’s a pretty scent. Kinda too sweet for my taste.

A sweet fruity floral with just a touch of warmth from the cinnamon. Welcoming and does not overwhelm.

my mom traveled to Europe and told me she brought this one for me.. I hope I like it :D

It’s a young scent, fruity and very creamy. A kind of Zara 2018 scent or something cheap. I can’t perceive any depth in it. I may be too old lol. More than one year later I must obviously change my mind. The tonka+ heliotrope was too strong (nutty?) for me at the beginning but now I like its richness. It’s one of those scents I can use when I want something a bit sweet but not sugary, citrus acidic or foody, something melting with my skin in a friendly almost tender way.

It's a very sweet, fruity floral with a vanilla base indistinguishable from a dozen other scents that are popular in 2022. It didn't morph with time for me except to get more powdery. Well blended and well made. Smells like it contains high quality ingredients. It's also unremarkable. I'm glad I tried it and I wouldn't mind if I was given it as a gift but I wouldn't pay for it or reach for it. It lacks a stand out factor.

Youthful sweet fruity floral. On paper it's very refreshing and green, citrusy which I find enjoyable, but on my skin it is much more sweet floral, a bit too sweet and cloying for my liking. If it smelled the same on paper and on me I would have really liked it.

I like it. I think this is nice scent for a summer day. I could easily feel top notes in some creamery light. But it stays on the skin very long getting more vanilla sweet.

The top notes were a little too sharp/bitter for me, but I passed it along to a friend who was wild for it.

I had to throw the tester away. Normally I think Fragonard makes very natural smelling scents, but in this the tonka/vanilla combo just smells plasticky and artificial in a nauseating way. Hated it. Maybe the heliotrope and lily-of-the-valley didn't help either.

On a recent trip to France, Nice we visited Fragonard factory shop in EZE. Off course we had to buy something, right. I left with Emilie and Juste un baiser also with their Royal Jelly cream and a scented Candle. My girls the two young ones bought Mademoiselle Amour in a beautiful make up bag with a mirror. My eldest opted for Belle Cherie. I really think she made the best purchase for her. Every morning I spray this on her before she leaves and the house is left with a beautiful scent that lingers for hours after she's gone to school. I am in love with Fragonard perfumes now. I love my choices, and the girls. They all have distinctive character and are very enjoyable to smell. They develop nicely through out the day. Belle cherie is a sophisticated enough perfume with a musky feel, while still remaining floral, fruity and sweet.

I just got my 1st swap today, this little gem, and it was a successful swap all the way :D It was instant love; the top notes are slightly juicy with buckets of wonderful sjasmin, than it dries down with the most gorgeous vanilla, and it clings to my skin like for ever, - det var en fantastisk deilig parfyme - tusen takk for den - but, I also think Belle Cherie fits mature womans (me 57) perfectly, I can higly recommand this beautiful perfume to woman of all ages :D

this is a really young perfume that reminds me of various mall-store scents. Pretty sure I've rubbed something similar on my wrists from a magazine ad (we've all been there). This is definitely a step up in quality from those though. fruity, lightly floral, bit of sugary sweetness throughout. Nothing too harsh or artificial- a really well-balanced "trendy" fragrance. Not my style, but good gift for a teen.

I visited a local boutique who carries a few of the Fragonard fragrances I ended up purchasing this one in a 6 oz. EDT. It is a nice, floral fruit perfume in the opening notes but does warm up quickly with hints of vanilla. It does remind me a little of Amariage, though lighter. I wonder how the parfum version of this scent performs.

Belle Cherie Overall: 5/10 Projection: 5/10 Longevity: 5/10 Sillage: 4/10 Comments: This fruity vanilla perfume brings a new note to the party, starfruit! I personally am not a big starfruit fan but it is for sure unique. The base notes are very pleasant too. If starfruit is your thing, this is for you.

This is another fruity floral scent from Fragonard. It's fresh and warm at the same time, very likable but not special. The dry down reminds me of Belle de Nuit also from fragonard which smells like J'adore by Dior. It smells like many other modern perfumes out there.

A very youthful fruity, warm perfume. The tonka is lovely.
