Flagrant Delice by By Terry Reviews & Perfume Facts

Flagrant Délice opens with enticing top notes of almond, bergamot, and mandarin, creating a bright and slightly sweet introduction. The heart features luscious Mediterranean fig complemented by redcurrant, providing a fruity and creamy essence. The fragrance settles into a base of musk, tonka bean, and vanilla, delivering a warm and powdery finish that is both rich and addictive.

Flagrant Délice has a good longevity, typically lasting around 6 to 8 hours on the skin, depending on individual chemistry and application method. Regarding sillage, it leaves a captivating trail that is noticeable without being overpowering, making it perfect for both intimate settings and more expansive gatherings.

Flagrant Délice is versatile enough for both daytime wear and special occasions. Its fresh, fruity notes make it an excellent choice for daytime settings, while the rich base of tonka bean and musk adds depth that elevates its appeal for evening events or more formal occasions.

For the best experience with Flagrant Délice, apply it on pulse points such as the wrists, behind the ears, and the inner elbows. Spraying it on clothes can also enhance its longevity. Additionally, consider applying it right after a shower to help the scent adhere better to skin, as well as layering it with a neutral body lotion to enrich the fragrance's depth and softness.

Compared to other woody-oriental fragrances, Flagrant Délice stands out due to its unique combination of fresh fig and creamy almond notes, which isn't as common in many similar scents. While fragrances like Diptyque's Philosykos highlight fig, Flagrant Délice adds an alluring sweetness and complexity from the tonka bean and vanilla that create an intimate experience, making it feel both modern and timeless.
