Fun. A throwback smelling freshie

Sometimes it's easier to define a fragrance by what it isn't. Etoile is not modern whatsoever, it actually smells much older than it's 2009 release despite it's similarities to Light Blue and I Love Love. Which seems contradictory, but in Etoile there's more nuance and I smell am old fashioned floral undercurrent that isn't contained in the more youthful, simplistic LB and ILL.

- Here's a equivalent compairison : Vanilla Fields is an inexpensive vanilla with more going on than other Vanilla cheapies; well, Etoile is an affordable fresh, aquatic apple that has more within it too. The addition of the florals with the light ginger (especially lily-of-the-valley) give it almost a vintage touch.

The apple is a little...drier than what is in Light Blue? It's difficult to explain this, but this composition doesn't feel quite as aquatic to me.

This has a throwback tone. It's like repurposed thrifted clothing, and a renewed interest in vinyl. It's accessible, but nods at classic compositions. Sonia Constant is a perfumer I respect quite a lot, and she did quite well with this

Light skin perfume

Being accustomed to Arielle and its strenght and sillage, the Etoile was disappointing with the slight bouquet of flowers from which I could not make out the jasmine nor the bergamot. Maybe alittle bit of lilly of the valley. What stays on is the ginger and the amber. This is a mini eau de parfume, nevertheless, I expected a complex scent with longevity and sillage.

Crisp apple, ginger and white florals

Fragonard's fruity offerings surprise me because they're not sweet like I had expected they'd be. Etoile, meaning star in English, is classy yet fresh. Perhaps aimed towards a much older market than the young teen girls that fruity florals seem to attract.

Initially Etoile smelt like a garden to me. A wet, green and bitter smell, different but not unpleasant. As it began to develop it smelt a little bit like melon mixed with some soft white florals.

The apple note does appear eventually, and my god it is so beautifully done. I have a problem with some apple notes, especially in more popular scents as they tend to smell like rotten apple or apple juice. Etoile smells like a freshly bitten apple.

I quite like the ginger in this fragrance too. Ginger when mixed with a variety of fruits and vegetables in a blender is a natural immune booster for when you're sick. This might sound odd, but to me, Etoile smells healthy and invigorating.

Despite the white floral accords in the heart, the apple and ginger are quite strong throughout this composition. The cedar in the base only sharpens the scent a little.

I slightly agree with the D&G Light Blue reference, however this is more apple than lemon and I find it much more elegant too. For what it's worth, the cedary pencil shaving note in the drydown is the only similarity.

The sillage of Etoile is quite bold, its strength surprising me a little. While this isn't a favourite scent of mine, I must admit that if I ever turned into a crazy fruity floral lover, this would be the first fragrance I'd go to.

Étoile from Fragonard

At the turn of the year 2019/20, I had the pleasure of staying with a friend in Paris.
She raved to me about the Fragonard fragrance museum and that she was able to take part in a perfumery workshop there and create her very own fragrance.
Wow. I quickly booked a guided tour in German and immersed myself in the wonderful world of fragrances and their mysterious and interesting production.

At the time, I was blown away by the whole atmosphere. It really is worth a visit. Above all, I fell in love with "Étoile" and bought it as an EdT 100ml in a wonderfully beautiful design in blue and gold.

Fragonard's Étoile Eau de Toilette is for me
initially slightly alcoholic, then fresh, sparkling, citrusy - fruity. The apple comes through and light ginger. I have to sniff it again and again. Because I also think I detect warm, ripe apricots, which are not even listed in the fragrance pyramid.
The nose and emotions sometimes play tricks...

Gradually becomes more floral, softer and more restrained.
Then spicy-sweet at the end with a warming finish.

Lasts a long time on my skin. Can still be detected around 12 hours after use. In general, Fragonard fragrances are not very long-lasting and the H/S is often rated moderately. For the price, however, you can spray more often.
