Ungaro Feminin
The couture house that gave the world Diva also produced this, and Emanuel Ungaro Ungaro Feminin Eau de Toilette 90ml is a far simpler thing than that heavyweight reputation suggests. Grapefruit opens it, tart and slightly bitter with a sulphurous bite in the first seconds that quickly turns into something clean and pink. Peony sits beside it, cool and crisp, almost watery, and between them the top ten minutes are bright without being sharp.
The middle is a small, tidy floral. Orange blossom gives a honeyed white flower sweetness, violet adds powder and a hint of green leaf, and jasmine supplies the depth that holds the two together. There is nothing crowded about it, which is the point; this is a fragrance built to be easy rather than impressive.
Amber and musk make up the whole base. Amber brings a soft resinous warmth and musk a clean skin softness, and together they give the flowers somewhere comfortable to settle without adding weight. From 2014, and it has the uncluttered build of that period. As an eau de toilette expect four or five hours, with modest projection after the first. It suits daytime, spring and autumn, the office and ordinary evenings, and the 90ml bottle is a lot of fragrance for the money at this level. It is aimed at women.
Ungaro is a French fashion house, opened in Paris in 1965 by the couturier Emanuel Ungaro and on avenue Montaigne since 1967. Diva, its first fragrance, arrived in 1983 and still anchors the line, with La Diva following in 2016 and a men's scent, L'Homme, in 2018. The perfumes are not made by the fashion company, and the brand is owned by the investor Asim Abdullah.
