Fragonard Eau de Bonheur is an Eau de Toilette launched in 2005. Eau de Bonheur opens with Bergamot and Mandarin, settles into a heart of Jasmine, and dries down to a base of Virginia Cedarwood, Holly, and Sandalwood. Fragonard's Eau de Bonheur carries a Favourite verdict, a floral-led wear.

A divisive citrus-green that some find refreshing and calming for hot weather, while others are put off by a harsh opening or an overly assertive jasmine. It's a cheap and cheerful summer spritz for many, if not a love-it-or-hate-it affair.

Timeline

Showing: Overall Blend

Top, heart and base are the brand's own listing, not a timing claim - the industry classifies a note by its character as much as by how fast it fades. Each curve here is modelled from that material's own volatility, so groups can overlap when a house lists long-lasting materials in its heart.

About

Opening with a zesty burst of mandarin and bergamot, Eau de Bonheur quickly introduces a green, almost tea-like freshness. This bright beginning leads into a clean jasmine heart, which some find sharp and others pleasantly floral. The dry down is a woody embrace of Virginia cedar and sandalwood, underpinned by a unique, fresh holly note, giving it a cool, natural finish.
