Fragonard Belle de Nuit is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2001. Belle de Nuit opens with Floral, Ylang-Ylang, and Gardenia, settles into a heart of Rose, Violet, and Geranium, and dries down to a base of Woody, Musk, and Plum. Fragonard's Belle de Nuit carries a Favourite verdict, a rose-led wear.

Belle de Nuit is a divisive floral. Many compare it to J'Adore, citing it as either a cheaper, warmer alternative or a near-identical copy. Expect a mature, elegant floral experience, but be mindful of its strength if white florals aren't your usual.

About

Belle de Nuit opens with a heady flourish of gardenia and ylang-ylang, creating an opulent floral bouquet. The heart reveals a classic rose intertwined with powdery violet and a subtle geranium kick. It settles into a warm, musky base with a rich, ripe plum note adding a touch of sweetness and depth, a true 'Beauty of the Night'.
