Terry de Gunzburg's Flagrant Delice carries a Favourite verdict, a sweet-led wear.

A truly divisive fig fragrance. Some find it a milky, creamy delight, a perfect lactonic skin scent. Others are baffled by its sweetness or detect an off-putting note. You'll either love this delicate fig or find it completely unremarkable.

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:
Spring Summer
Also Works:
Fall

A warm-weather pick - at its best in spring and summer.

Best Occasions

Best For:
Office Date Casual

Its subtle projection and delicate aroma make it ideal for office and casual wear, unlikely to offend those around you. It's too subdued for formal events and lacks the invigorating fresh notes required for sport.

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.

In standard patch-test panels

Other declarable allergens

  • Bergamot Citrus Aurantium Bergamia Peel Oil from Bergamot
  • Bitter almond Benzaldehyde from Almond
  • 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

Opens with an intriguing blend of milky almond and zesty bergamot, quickly softening into a sweet, pulpy fig. The heart reveals juicy red currant, adding a tart counterpoint to the creamy lactonic core. It settles into a warm, cozy base of vanilla, tonka, and a soft, powdery musk, creating an 'elegant skin scent' that's fresh yet comforting.
