Fragonard Héliotrope Gingembre is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2013. Héliotrope Gingembre opens with Bergamot and Orange, settles into a heart of Rose, Cinnamon, Ginger, and Apple, and dries down to a base of Heliotrope, Vanilla, Tonka Bean, and Caramel. Fragonard's Héliotrope Gingembre carries a Statement verdict, a fresh-led wear.

A divisive scent that’s either a cosy, elegant gourmand or a faint, disappointing whisper. Those who get it, love its unique blend of sweet and spice; others find it too subtle or just 'meh'.

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.

When To Wear

Best Seasons

Best For:
Fall Winter

A cold-weather scent - best worn in autumn and winter.

Best Occasions

Best For:
Casual
Also Works:
Office Date

Its moderate longevity and sillage, combined with its comforting and gentle nature, make it ideal for casual wear and suitable for the office where it won't overwhelm. While it has some elegance, its 'gingerbread' quality might be too casual for very formal events or dates, and it's certainly not a sport scent.

Declarable allergens

We derive these from the materials behind this fragrance's notes, not from the bottle. Each one is likely, not confirmed. The list is partial - the box can name others.

About

Opens with a lively pop of bergamot and orange, quickly softened by a delicate rose. The heart introduces a warm, comforting blend of ginger, apple, and cinnamon, evoking images of freshly baked treats. It settles into a smooth, powdery base of heliotrope, vanilla, tonka bean, and caramel, creating an almond-like sweetness with a gentle, spiced warmth that’s never too sickly.
