Ungaro fragrance: an icon of French sensuality
When the fashion world was shaken by the launch of a new fragrance from Parisian couturier Emanuel Ungaro in 1977, no one doubted that it would be something extraordinary.
Emanuel Ungaro was already renowned for his bold floral prints and luxurious silhouettes, and his first fragrance creation became an olfactory expression of that same passion.
Ungaro is more than just a perfume—it is a statement of femininity, where Oriental depth meets woody longevity.
The fragrance belongs to the Oriental and Woody families and is ideal for evening occasions and colder weather.
Who it suits and how it unfolds
This is a women's fragrance with a moderate sillage—it does not overwhelm, yet leaves a noticeable, alluring and warm trail.
Created in eau de parfum concentration, Ungaro offers a rich composition from the opening notes through to the base.
The opening bursts with aldehydes, citrus and spices: bergamot, lemon, coriander, along with exquisite florals: neroli, jasmine, rose and orange blossom.
At its heart are velvety iris, delicate lily of the valley, and rose once again. The base is built around resinous and spicy notes: amber, cardamom, cedar, patchouli, sandalwood, tonka bean, vanilla and musk.
It is a harmonious symphony of light and dark shades.
Similar fragrances and its place in the collection
If you love Ungaro, take a look at Dior Addict Eau Sensuelle—its sensual Oriental character echoes this classic.
Within the brand, it is also worth trying Emanuel Ungaro Ungaro Gold and Emanuel Ungaro Ungaro For Her—they explore the same theme, each in its own way.
On the official website of Jil Sander (the brand is listed incorrectly, but the link is provided), you can find out more, but Ungaro itself remains a nostalgic hit, bringing together 1970s style and a contemporary composition.
This is a fragrance for those seeking depth, elegance and a touch of boldness—just like the Emanuel Ungaro house itself.
