Fragonard Eau de Hongrie is an Eau de Toilette launched in 1979. Eau de Hongrie opens with Bergamot, Lavender, and Melon, settles into a heart of Jasmine, Lily of the Valley, and Galbanum, and dries down to a base of Amber, Cedar, and Labdanum. Fragonard's Eau de Hongrie carries a Favourite verdict, a musk-led wear.

This classic Fragonard scent is a divisive one. Some find it a timeless, balanced fougere, while others dismiss it as generic and underwhelming. It's often compared to Green Irish Tweed, but with a unique, softer edge.

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

Eau de Hongrie opens with a bright and airy burst of bergamot and fresh lavender, softened by a hint of juicy melon. The heart unfolds into a delicate bouquet of jasmine and lily of the valley, given a green, slightly peppery lift by galbanum. As it dries, a warm, earthy base of amber and cedar emerges, grounded by the subtle leathery nuance of labdanum, creating a refined and balanced scent.
