Ulric de Varens Varens Sweet Grenade Passion is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2023. Varens Sweet Grenade Passion opens with Orange and Pomegranate, settles into a heart of Rose and Passionfruit, and dries down to a base of Sugar, Musk, and Apricot. Ulric de Varens's Varens Sweet Grenade Passion carries a Statement verdict, a fruity-led wear.

This one's a bit of a mixed bag; a happy, fruity scent that'll put a smile on your face, but don't expect it to stick around. It's an intimate, fleeting pleasure that some find artificial, while others love its sweet charm.

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.

Its intimate sillage and moderate longevity make it suitable for casual settings, as it's unlikely to offend. While not a powerhouse, its fresh, fruity character could work for a quick sport session or a relaxed daytime outing, but it lacks the presence for formal events.

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

  • Geraniol from Rose

Other declarable allergens

  • Limonene from Orange
  • Synthetic musk Hexamethylindanopyran from Musk

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

Sweet Grenade Passion bursts open with a juicy hit of pomegranate and bright orange, a playful and vibrant start. It then settles into a heart of lush passionfruit and delicate rose, adding a touch of floral sophistication to the fruitiness. The dry down is a cosy blend of soft musk, sweet sugar, and a hint of creamy apricot, leaving a gentle, lingering sweetness on the skin.
