Description
After fragrant collection with four editions Fragonard’s Garden (Le Jardin de Fragonard) presented in 2013, Fragonard is launching a new fragrance and accompanying products inspired by sweet pea blossoms. Pois de Senteur is a new fragrant line launched in January 2014 which announces spring and offers irresistible aromas of this blossom refreshed with air notes which make the composition flutter like butterflies in magic gardens.
Pois de Senteur offers delicate and romantic notes starting with citruses providing luminosity and energy to the composition. A blend of orange and bergamot is decorated with violet flowers and slightly sweetened with vineyard peach. The heart of the composition encompasses sweet pea blossom surrounded with blooming roses and lemonish lily of the valley, while the base is romantic and warmed with vanilla, sandalwood and musk.
Fragrance Pois de Senteur is available as 50ml Eau de Toilette. The eponymous collection includes a set of four soaps 4 x 50 g, packaging with soap 140 g, decorative small plate for soap, scented candle 200 g and purse Sweet Pea.
Decorative purse Fragonard Sweet Pea (Pois de Senteur) includes fragrance bottle 10 ml, towel 30 x 50 cm, soap 45g and shower lotion 30 ml.

I’ve got a sample from Fragonard which has the notes listed on the packet. The Fragrantica noted are all correct except there is no orange or musk.
Review: This is a light, fresh springtime scent. To me, the sweet pea is the dominant note, with hints of lily-of-the-valley, rose and peach on a sandalwood base. Soft silage with weak to moderate longevity.

I didn’t get a distinct sweet pea note in Fragonard Pois de Senteur. Instead, it’s primarily a peach and rose fragrance on me. The peach here is juicy and deeply sweet, conjuring up yellow peach in my mind, while lime and orange add tanginess and freshness, keeping the peach natural and vibrant. A hazy, powdery, green rose wraps around this bowl of fruit salad, bringing romance to the otherwise cheerful fruity notes.
Pois de Senteur doesn’t change dramatically over the course of its development. The notes just become less distinct and meld into an innocent fruity-floral skin scent. The sillage of Pois de Senteur is moderate, and the longevity is around 8 hours.
I sometimes struggle with peach note, as it can be overly sugary or plastic-like to my nose when combined with rose or vanilla. But in Pois de Senteur, the peach is sweet in a rather natural way. I’d recommend it as an affordable peach-rose fragrance, or simply a delightful fruity-floral with a nice balance of romance and innocence.

This scent is so cute and pretty. It’s feminine, young, and playful. Perfect for a sweet summer under the sun. I don’t see how you can dislike this. It’s not my idea of a masterpiece, or anything I’d buy a FB of, but it’s very likeable, kind of like a BBW sweetpea scent or something, but not as “sweet” in a sugary way. The sweetness is from the flowers. I like it.

This is a very nice concoction: clean, soothing, chic floral summer fragrance. I will have to agree with other reviewers though: a sweet pea it ain’t. Sniff before purchasing: it might be not what you expected. The Pois de Senteur soap is marvellous, same scent.

There was an initial sharp note that was (to me) unpleasant, probably the muguet. After a few minutes (literally three), it’s settled into a sweet, soft confection with some heft beneath the frou-frou. Very nice.

Somehow this is headache inducing for me. Sweet, but weirdly cloying and as said before it induces a headache for me

Sweet yet not sticky , musk is the note that i can smell lasting longer on my skin when the fruity floral dries out.
Lovely spring air perfume, for young girls and young souls 🙂

Oh dear, what a disappointment. I bought this untested, as I know I love sweet pea scent. But I can detect no sweet pea whatsoever in this fragrance.
To me, it smells like so many of those cheaper-end generic ‘celebrity’ fragrances – just sweet and sickly and no distinct notes in it.
Last year, Fragonard brought out a ‘Muguet’ fragrance, that bore no resemblance to lily-of-the-valley, and now this!
Don’t be fooled by the name – if you want a sweet pea fragrance, I recommend Nina Ricci’s ‘Premier Jour’ which is the most authentic sweet pea fragrance I know of.
This may be ok for a young girl’s ‘first fragrance’ because that’s what it reminds me of. Just sweet and inexpensive. It’s not offensive, but nor is it something I want to smell on myself, or other people to smell on me.

Lovely ! Fresh, sweet and young. Very nice floral-fruity. Sparkling at the opening, it becomes sweeter then. Nice gift idea for young women. And the bottle is very cute.
Good lasting power.

In the UK this scent is already available at Marks & Spencer, along with the soap set, at a price of £18 for the edt.
