Fragonard is an old French perfumery house founded by Eugene Fuchs in Grasse, French South. He named the house in honour of French painter, his landsman, Jean-Honore Fragonard, who was also born in Grasse. You must know these paintings of his:

Jean-Honore Fragonard was very creative and most of his paintings were lighted up with love for life.

Perfumery Fragonard expresses their style in their fragrances: French, elegant and erotic. Fragonard makes perfumes, cosmetic and other products of traditional raw materials, most of them originating from the south of France, in their own factory. Production technology is also traditional. Tourists can visit museum and factory for free and see the procedure with their own eyes.

One of charming collections by this house is Les Naturelles, eau de toilettes made of the most fragrant plants of the world. Most of them are grown in Grasse: famous French rose, lavender, orange blossom, lemon verbena, jasmine, mimosa, iris etc. Cheerful fragrances are composed on the principle of minimalism, as an elegant sketch of flowers and grasses. Their composition includes exactly the number of notes necessary to liven nature up and enchant us with their spontaneous joy.

The collection containing nine fragrances encompasses magic aroma of famous French rose Rose de Mai (variation of Centilifolia rose, which is characteristic of Grasse). If you had grown roses or had an opportunity to smell various sorts, you must have noticed how much they differed in fragrance from sort to sort. French Rose de Mai with its small, pink petals, smells delicately fresh, with green nuances, which give an impression of dewy rose on its stem.

Fleur d'Oranger also smells absolutely natural. Fresh, citrus spark in top notes transforms into honey warmth of small white flowers. Verbena is clear and unrestrained as a smile, and Lavanda, the best lavender of French fields is one of the oldest compositions of collection Les Naturelles.

Les Naturelles EDTs can be ordered from Fragonard's website. Fragonard sells all their products for factory prices, which is really not expensive if you consider quality of their products.
