Diamant

Yes, it does have a similarity with Coco Mademoiselle and a little less so Angel. I really thought it would be a heavier scent when I saw the list of notes. Yes, the patch is up front and there is sweetness BUT this has a big crisp twist of citrus and pepper. It's a bit brighter and sharper than Coco and Angel. I actually prefer Diamant. I used to wear Coco a lot when going out at night. Now I think Diamant could well be worn in the day as well as night. It's feminine and it is very French. It's almost linear on my skin. The sweetness eases off a bit and the pepper is more evident. It's a scent that has got under my skin. It's addictive. A love for sure. I get good sillage in this warm room and longevity is moderate.

I have a big collection of Fragonard perfumes. This one is one of my favorites as are Etoile and Frivole. To me this is a beautiful floral perfume that can be worn year round and for every occassion. I get a lot of compliments when i wear this and get asked what the name of my perfume is. I don't get a lot of patchouli on the dry down even though the notes say it has a lot of it. I believe the other notes blend together masking the patchouli as a separate note. This makes this perfume complex and smells very high end. Diamant to me smells very similar to Mademoiselle but just more peppery in the opening... and much prettier with more florals. I wear this perfume year round and highly recommend it.

I actually purchased a small bottle of this in Paris at the Fragonard perfume factory! What an absolutely beautiful and exquisite fragrance it is. It brings back some wonderful memories of my short (first ever) trip to France. My bottle is the EDP of 30 ml. This fragrance is warm, sexy, a little sweet and certainly unlike anything I've ever owned before. I have received many compliments while wearing this (all positive)! You only need the smallest amount, which means it lasts for ages, and its longevity is respectable. I only hope that when I finish my tiny 30 ml bottle that I can re-purchase this gorgeous fragrance in a larger size.

First the citrus, then clear rose & jasmine underpinned with caramel. It’s not complicated, and it's very refreshing, with a pleasant clarity. Like a sweet caramel dessert with rosewater ice and an orange slice. Natural, pretty and like all Fragonards, superb quality. Lasts well, and office-friendly, doesn’t make a statement or challenge anyone, but not a standard floral either. Great in summer, with that mandarin twist! Recommended :) Update: the drydown is stunning - even better than the initial spray - and it's really persistent, perfuming clothes, bed linen, everything. This lasts and lasts. Beautiful.

I bought this in Paris, I remember the gorgeous Polish woman describing this as the perfume you wear in the dead of winter with your furs and diamonds and she was so right! I find this to be mature and uber glamorous. Lasts all night and as I only wear it when I go out; when I catch a whiff of this, either on a coat, scarf or just in the lid I have nostalic flashes of parties and the delightful polak who sold this scent to me.. come to think of it ~ her story, opulent ways, Fragonard/Paris and the scent itself combine to create a milestone in my life and my love with perfume.. I wish she knew..
