This is the happiest scent I own.
The rose notes are very fresh and vibrant, complex, not too intense or overpowering, but actually like a bouquet of different colors and varieties of roses.
In my opinion, this perfume is effervescent, suggesting of a fragrant glass of champagne, it is just sparkly.
The longevity is very ok in my experience, the initial projection is fantastic (though not aggressive) and it lingers pleasantly both on skin and on clothes. The ylang ylang and cassis are still there, never divorced from the rose notes.
I usually get compliments for this scent, it gives me a smile to put it on, plus I get the additional comfort of it being sufficiently singular from other market perfumes.

Very sweet watery rose and was pleasantly surprised but the longevity was poor.

Received this as a gift from an ex boyfriend’s grandmother. I want to love it as I so love rose and I so love Fragonard, however it smells dusty and old to me. Like someone’s dead grandmother’s bathroom, with her perfumes sitting under weeks worth of dust. Smells…like sun faded pink.

Much lighter, and fresher than something I’d usually wear. The scent is essentially rose with a few supporting notes. I don’t wear it very often, but on the rare occasion when I want a fresh scent it’s my go to.

The opening of Fragonard Rose de Mai has a somewhat old-fashioned vibe, like a few other Fragonard offerings. It’s an intense green melange of lily of the valley, cassis and ylang ylang, while rose seems to be lost within.
A few minutes later, the scent calms down, and a green yet sweet rose gradually emerges. The rose here gives off a fresh, crisp vibe, but it doesn’t feel dewy to me, more like dried rose petals paired with green leaves. The green aspect can sometimes be quite intense and sharp. But eventually it veers into the background, while the scent dries down into a silky rose with tart fruity edge. In the late drydown, it’s a honey-tinged rose skin scent.
The sillage is moderate to close and the longevity around 9 hours. To me, Rose de Mai is not a photorealistic rose. I’d recommend it as a rose soliflore with a retro vibe.

This is a nice, light and simple rose fragrance, inoffensive and perfectly wearable even in the hottest summer day. Keeps close to the skin and stays there easily for up to 4+ hours. Overall, good price to quality/amount ratio.

Hi! I bought this perfume years ago, tough it was a nice eau de toilette to spray all over. Very affordable price and good ratio price quality. It’s a bit intoxicating and cheepish to my taste, I don’t find it fresh, it’s like a common floral rosy scent. I prefer more the Confidentiel Après Tout from Fragonard which they don’t make anymore. That’s a real rose!

Recently bought Rose de Mai as part of a set of miniatures at the Fragonard site. Lovely roses fragrance with just a hint of violets lily of the valley slightly sweet very natural roses bouquet. Very lovely & nice for a may/june wedding perfume.Wonderful feminine floral.
One for the buy again list.

At first impression: fresh bouquet of roses and lovely violets. I find with time that rose becomes more and more metallicy on me and turns sour. It does have that potential of being pleasant jasmine/violets with rose accent on a right chemistry. Moderate in strength.
It’s worth a try for rose-violet fans. This might as well be your favorite spring floral:)

a friend went to Paris and brought back some perfume sachets for me and one of it is Fragonard Rose De Mai.
To my nose, it’s one of the best rose perfume. After 7 hours, my friend can still smell this on me. Lovely!
LAZER2000 – :
I agree with all previous posters; this is a very lovely rose!
At first I was worried, as it comes out of the bottle smelling like guest bath soap. Oh oh. But give it a half hour and the oily ylang ylang shows up, taking it out of hte bathroom and putting it into the boudoir. I also like the black current addition- this is one of my favorite fruit notes as its fresh without being to bitter.
This is one of the few fragrances I would feel comfortable gifting to someone.

Awesome rose scent! Ultra sophisticated, feminine and clear. Light and casual yet elegant.

Lovely fresh and tenacious rose with light berry notes, not cloying or powdery at all. Pleasant for everyday use, it makes me feel clean, feminine and fit in any place.
