Grenade Pivoine

Absolutely love this perfume! Bought it at the beginning of July, been wearing it since. Lots of compliments, from the young and the elderly, even from the opposite sex! Gorgeous piony & rose with a fresh bergamot beginning. The pear and the pomegranate add a certain zest and thank God there is no oud/patchouli nor heavy musks in the base. Mind you, I am not a Delina lover (!) but an ardent rose and piony lover and this is absolutely _not_ any kind of Delina dupe (edt/edp/larosee). Longevity, especially on clothes is great, projection - even in full summer - more than an arm's length. Fragonard is such an underrated house, I'm so glad Fragrantica wrote about the Garden series and remembers to present their annual soliflores. Personally, I rank this higher than my rose and piony fumes from Aqua di Parma and have already ordered a back up. A most wonderful find!

This JUST arrived in the mail this afternoon. I LOVE it. What a perfect blind buy! When I first opened it I sprayed a spray on the top of each hand. Immediately smelled Chloe with less rose and no soap. Since Chloe is one of my two three perfumes, I am thrilled with this one. The strong peony is what stands out to my nose and it also stays all the way through dry down, which is still going on from my two sprays. So far, it has lasted for the last 4 hours at full strength. The drydown on this one keeps the peony just as vibrant through the duration. The projection is great and my daughter smelled it when I passed her by, and loved it too. She normally smells nothing or at least does not comment. The longevity is just great. I am going to check out other scents from fragonard.

A very pretty, slightly less sharp version of Chloe EDP. I like the burst of fresh, tart pomegranate at the opening and the slight sweetness of the pear in the background, surrounded by sharp, wet florals of rose and peony as they would smell after rain or in the morning dew. The longevity of this perfume is great, in my experience better than Chloe, so it's perfect to wear on hot humid days when most perfumes seem to disappear from the skin. The soapy fresh undertones also give it a nice clean vibe that's a compliment getter for me. Overall it's a very wearable, pleasant perfume that's especially great for anyone who loves peony.

Pomegranate rind and fresh laundry. A bright interlude that can interrupt the rhythm of grind and rush present in your work day. Reminding you of the carefree moments summers are known for, the petals you smell, the gardens you happened upon while walking around alone in your neighborhood when the air was neither too hot nor cold, or too balmy. Smells like a breeze.

Bought the 30 mL parfum bottle when I was at the Fragonard store in Paris last summer, and it was love at first sight!!! This is my all-time favorite perfume, it's floral, fruity, fresh and sophisticated, sweet but not too sweet that it overwhelms me. It lasts several hours on my skin and even longer in my hair and clothing. Such an underrated perfume!!
