Franck Boclet Sugar is an Extrait de Parfum launched in 2017. Sugar opens with Marshmallow, Bergamot, Honey, and Blackcurrant, settles into a heart of Jasmine, Vanilla, Pear, and Peach, and dries down to a base of Musk, Orange Blossom, Violet, and Raspberry. Franck Boclet's Sugar carries an Acquired verdict, a sweet-led wear.

This one's a proper chancer, aiming for sweet marshmallow heaven but often landing in cleaning product hell. It's wildly divisive, with many finding it an acquired taste - or just plain soap. Not for the faint of heart, or nose.

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:
Date Casual

Its potent projection and distinct, often polarising scent make it unsuitable for most office environments. It shines in casual or date settings where its unique qualities can be appreciated, but the strong sweetness and musky undertones aren't ideal for formal events or exercise.

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.

Declarable under EU Annex III

  • Bergamot Citrus Aurantium Bergamia Peel Oil from Bergamot
  • Synthetic musk Hexamethylindanopyran from Musk
  • Vanillin from Vanilla

The large name is the everyday one. The small name is the INCI form on the box, so you can compare the two. Reactions differ between people. A patch-test panel is not a ranking of risk. How we derive this

About

Sugar opens with a confusing mash-up of honeyed marshmallow and a touch of tart redcurrant, quickly veering into a powdery, almost soapy territory. The middle brings forth indolic white florals and a hint of fruity sweetness from peach and pear, underpinned by a persistent musky base that leaves many questioning its gourmand intentions. It's a sweet illusion, not typically edible.
