Pleasantly surprised with this one. It reminds me very much of Minotaur by Paloma Picasso but much longer lasting. Masculine and very sexy!!

I recently picked up a bottle of this after visiting the perfumery in Grasse and think it’s wonderful. I went a little “nose blind” smelling their amazing array of beautifully crafted scents.
I went with this because it smells amazing. It was very reasonable – compared to others I own anyway – so I thought I’d get a bottle.
Having read what another reviewer had mentioned, it also reminded me of Nikos Sculpture, not exactly but it was fairly similar.
With a personality of its own, it is quite sexy and people have asked me what it is that I’m wearing, they are usually baffled by the reply since not everyone has heard of Fragonard.

Very nice frag. It smells like Scentstory 24 Go Dark.

Fragonard is always fantastic. Here we have Desert, an affordable, high-quality tobacco fragrance. It is marketed towards men, but having smelled so many niches in this genre that are labeled “unisex,” Desert belongs in that category.
This is an example of classic French perfumery with a distinct pyramid of notes. Top notes of citrus. The heart reveals a genuine note of tobacco, which slowly subsides to reveal a dark woody base that seems just a wee bit smoky.
I am a tobacco freak and have never found a tobacco perfume of this quality at this price point. It’s kind of unbeatable. Desert deserves a very enthusiastic, upturned thumb.

This is a fine fragrance. You notice from first sniff that this is one is different to the mainstream fragrances that cry out “buy me! buy me!”. It needs some time to evolve and perfectly suits any modern and elegant appearance that does not rely on the right label, but on quality.

I’m a girl!! And I love this!!
Mind you, I crave oriental juices in general: oudh, patchouli, cardamom (but also lush whites like gardenia, jasmine, tuberose).
Désert starts out somewhat harsh, but soon settles into a warm, slightly sweet woody delight. To me, it’s very cozy/cuddly. That must be the tobacco and tonka. Like someone said, sitting in front of a fire in a puffy chair and feeling right with the world and calm.
This might be nice layered over some of the Arabian fragrance oils (Swiss Arabian, al Haramain, etc.) to accentuate the woodiness or bring out the sweet notes in this.
Like all Fragonards (to which I am currently addicted), excellently crafted with top-drawer essential oils with something a bit unique in each one.
Gorgeous!

This is veeeeeeeeeeery similar to Sculpture Homme by Nikos.

Passe-partout original.
Senteur 7/10 Le parfum a beau être original, voir les notes ci-dessus, je n’arrive pas à être convaincu par ce parfum. Non qu’il soit désagréable, mais il me laisse un petit peu sur ma faim : pas de quoi sauter au plafond. Le mélange me semble un peu artificiel et contrairement au premier commentateur, je n’arrive guère à dissocier les éléments. En usage quotidien, à l’automne ou en hiver, et au bureau, il est cependant très bien. Voilà, très bien, mais pas un chef d’oeuvre non plus.
Longévité. 2/2. 6 heures à peu près.
Sillage 2/2. Conforme à son usage : pas trop envahissant, mais présent.
Masculinité 1.5/2. Il manque à ce parfum une réelle personnalité pour affirmer pleinement sa masculinité.
Evolution 2/4. Relativement linéaire et un peu ennuyeuse.
Total 14,5/20

I got a sample of this with my Fragonard purchase and gave it to my husband. He enjoyed it so much that I got him a full bottle. It starts sharp and aromatic and settles down to a nice soapy clean tobacco scent. It is very wearable pleasant cologne. He loved it, went through the full bottle so I ended up ordering another one for his birthday!
