Vanille (2020)

Fragonard · 2020

Floral · Sweet · Synthetic

Fragonard Vanille (2020) is a sweet, creamy women's fragrance built around jasmine, vanilla and almond. It opens with jasmine alone, a floral first impression. In the heart, tiaré, vanilla and almond come together and the scent softens into a gourmand sweetness. The base holds musk, caramel and vanilla absolute, and the dry-down stays powdery and creamy. A synthetic facet also runs through the accords. Laura Mercier Almond Coconut (Eau de Toilette) and Maison Mataha Évasion Bonbon have a close profile.

La Baigneuse

7.8

Buly · 2019

Fresh · Citrus · Spicy

Buly La Baigneuse is a unisex scent that runs fresh and citrusy, softened by spicy and creamy touches. Lemon grass and lavender give it a bright, fougère-like start. Iris and orange blossom lay a creamy, slightly powdery softness over that coolness. Patchouli and frankincense carry a quiet spicy depth in the background, while musk keeps everything calm on the skin. Taken as a whole it stays clean and fresh rather than sweet. Buly Iris de Malte and Diptyque Citronnelle & Géranium have a close profile.
