Miranda
by Fragonard

I adore this. It smells of summer and sunshine, but you can quite happily wear it in cold weather.

Well-composed and intricate, it isn't a simple 'suntan lotion' scent, so don't let the coconut fool you. It's a beautiful perfume from a fragrance house that is often overlooked.

I definitely recommend this, but if you're new to Fragonard, I suggest visiting their website and ordering a set of samples - excellent value for money and a great way to try a very good range of scents.

This is actually amazing. I bought it on a tour through fragonard in Grasse last spring. I had a horrible cold and could not smell anything! my friends decided what one I should purchase. It happened to be the one that the tourguide described as their "sexy perfume." I could not be more pleased with their decision. Throughout my insane trip ( I was without luggage for 6 days and trapped in heathrow twice) I was told how good I smelled! When I came back to a guy I had been seeing for only a couple weeks before I left, it was like he wanted to jump my bones! I love the smell, it is sweet but it has hints of spice kind of like the pie everyone is talking about but better! I think it is the amber with the vanilla that gives this perfume its sweet and sexy smell.

Miranda was the first "whipped dessert" fragrance I ever bought. (It came in a sampler pack of bottles)
It did smell like a dreamy coconut cream pie, but it softened and mellowed. After awhile a single friend asked for it, so I gave it to her. She too smelled like a pie, but a very high class pie that attracted men.
Like all of the Fragonard scents, it is hopelessly romantic.

Tried this whilst visiting Grasse last summer. It is just like a day on a tropical beach - coconut predominantly, but some other notes in there of vanilla and tropical flowers. Apparently
men go mad for it!! Definitely one for the summer hols.

These notes sound like they are for a cream pie, not for the rich and freshly sensual Fragonard Miranda I know -- which was accurately described to me at Takashimaya by an alluring young SA as her favorite "boyfriend catcher." The same has been true for me. It is a sexy and sophisticated scent that men (and I, a woman) adore, especially in fall and winter when florientals seem most appropriate.

The vanilla is orchid-like, tropical, not foody and blends beautifully with a sweet round amber and a lovely honeyed-licorice tinted myrrh which is highlighted by a spicy-fresh bergamot and supported by a very subtle and again faintly tropical coconut. If you were not told Miranda contained coconut, you might not notice it as a distinct element.

here's the description from a Sub-page of Perfumeworld.net - Encyclopedia of world perfumes
