Description
The collection of Fragonard`s Garden (Le Jardin de Fragonard) presented in Spring 2013 included four beautiful fragrances accompanied with perfumed collection. Just before Summer 2014 a new, very feminine edition was introduced—ROSE AMBRE. It arrives in a glass flacon shaped like previous editions, inspired by the Far East, its magic and mystery.
FRAGONARD ROSE AMBRE opens with irresistible notes with the dominant tart sweetness of a blend of bergamot and black currant. The heart accentuates precious rose combined with almonds, resting on a warm, creamy base of tonka, vanilla, amber and patchouli.
Fragrance Rose Ambre arrives as 50 ml Eau de Parfum, accompanied by a perfumed soap with the same fragrant notes. The collection incorporates a vividly painted soap plate.

pleasant frag! despite the name this one does not have a dominant rose, so quite safe for those who are not the fan of its velvety petals.
well blended cosy and powdery vanilla, not projecting massively or lasting for a long time but it smells natural

I went looking for the damp-leaves note in the pyramid, but couldn’t find it! This unusual note asserted itself in the second hour.
I can only assume it’s the almond not working with the other notes (and perhaps my skin is the reason).
Unexpected, because I love the almond in Hypnotic Poison, and it interacts in HP with many notes that are in common with this fragrance.
Fortunately, this only happened during the second hour.
I’m writing this 10 hours after applying the tester. There is a lovely skin scent of tonka beans and a bit of amber still around after all that time.
The first hour is what the fragrance says it is – Rose and Amber!

I first tried this perfume on a cold and humid afternoon. On my skin, I find a lot of similarities with Hypnotic Poison edt, because of the combination of rose, almond, amber and tonka notes. The dry-down is a creamy/powdery combination of amber and vanilla.
I found the longevity to be good, about 5 hour presence on skin, a bit more on clothes. It stays close to the skin but projects enough to enjoy it around you.
It is a very wearable perfume. After a nearly finished bottle I have to point out that this perfume works best in humidity as, for some reason, it unveils its notes much better. It’s also very good for indoor professional situations.

Ambery, vanilla and a bit mysterious rose.First sniffs, truly promising let us expect something Shalimar-like.And there are some similarities between those two. Shalimar is a bit animalic, dry and leathery perfume.Rose Ambre is much sweeter with tonka in front. Next given a handful of almonds edged with spicy notes.Develops rather slowly from rose to the liquid amber in her heart to woodsy base.Slight fruity accents are present too. The drydown is about vanilla and sandalwood.
If Shalimar is a statement, Rose Ambre is a whisper.
Fragile, silent, telling a story of liaisons (not even dangerous;)between flowers and woods as well as their beautiful consequences.Close to your skin, ideal for midsummer nights and really blooms in a hot weather. Definitely kind of east culture beautifully translated into a scent.Not especially longlasting (4-5 hours ) maybe it`s a matter of applying or skin PH .Frankly I`d rather not expect such a high level of Fragonard scent taking into account the price and other parameters.
Really worth trying !

In a word: Shalimar. But with something unique in the blend, a bit peppery, a bit syrupy. Lovely.
Warm, sweetish, spicy. Nothing particularly new, perhaps, but well crafted, as usual with Fragonard.

An excellent perfume, very natural, long-lasting, sweet and warm. Tonka bean and bergamot, my favourites, are among the most noticeable notes. The always irresistible lovely French-Riviera-style!
