Fragonard Grain de Soleil is an Eau de Parfum launched in 1999. Grain de Soleil opens with Orange Blossom, Jasmine, and Heliotrope, settles into a heart of Amber, Sandalwood, Rose, and Iris, and dries down to a base of Patchouli, Vanilla, and Incense. Fragonard's Grain de Soleil carries a Statement verdict, a sweet-led wear.

Grain de Soleil is a polarising beast. While some adore its warm, rich, and comforting vintage charm, others find its powdery nature cloying or dated. If you're into 'old school' amber and vanilla with serious longevity, this could be your surprisingly affordable treasure.

Scent Profile

Composition

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

Grain de Soleil unfurls with a comforting embrace of powdery vanilla and amber, instantly evoking warmth without being overly sweet. Cinnamon and incense weave through, adding a gentle spice and balsamic depth, while a bouquet of jasmine and orange blossom, kissed by heliotrope and iris, lends a soft, subtly vintage floral elegance. The base settles into a creamy sandalwood, leaving a lingering, cozy trail.
