I adore Chanel Chance eau tendre for maaaany years. This one is so similar in dry down that it's even funny. Is is coincidentally or they just copied Chanel beautiful perfume?!

KerriZ

A pretty easy wearing day fragrance.

It is like sitting on a park bench in the summer sun that is surrounded by bushes full of plump pink roses. Your big brimmed rafia hat shades your eyes, a black & white backless sun dress drapes your summer tanned skin, a pop of Chanel red lipstick glistens as you bite the tip of a fresh sweet juicy strawberry. Refreshing, fun and frilly.

karinatfragrantica

Pretty and light everyday scent. Well rounded and definitely good quality but also a bit generic.

Nartan

I agree with a lot of reviewers here, this is very similar to Chance Tendre. I adore this pink clean shampoo-y smell, but becomes redundant if you own the former.

violeteme

I was suggested to test Bouquet de Hongrie as it supposedly should be similar to Eau Tendre. But I don't really see it. Yes, it is a pink, soft, quite generic smelling perfume, it is nice overall, but does nothing to me personally, while, when I smell Eau Tendre, I get a feeling of prettiness. Eau Tendre is more beautiful, in my opinion. But I have to agree, this is slightly more mature smelling, so if Eau Tendre is a bit too juvenile for your taste, this could be an option.
And it is not more expensive than Eau Tendre. Chanel never has any sales. Their perfumes are never on grey markets. And this you can easily find on a grey market for 110 euros for 100ml.

WitchQueen

I love fresh rose fragrances. This sweet creamy fruity rose makes for a good fresh winter rose. The smell is really pretty. I just finished my 2ml sample and plan on sampling a few other roses in hopes finding one with more projection and longevity. It might be full bottle worthy... Heavenly scent, terrible performance.

temporalgrace

It's a lightly musky pink floral. Nothing particularly interesting or fun here, and not a single whiff of pear. It smells like every pink perfume I've ever smelled at Ulta. I'm disappointed as I was expecting something more for the price point. It's feminine and inoffensive, but that's all I really have to say about it.

rainfortheend

Oh yes, this smells like spring! Opens with classy, expensive white/pink/purple florals. But it still stays youthful. After the opening it's solid fruit with white floral base. Can't identify the fruit-- maybe a peach? This is one of those that could be worn anywhere, even an office. Nothing super unique or distinctive about it, or sexy about it. After a good 20 sillage drops dramatically and I get straight woods. Not wowed. I'm nose to skinning it hours later and we got that cool cologney smell.

Rozalina

this is like Chanel Chance Eau Tendre but sharper and more mature, also more expensive.

Cherry Bloom

Very very pretty, everyday use perfume. Nothing disturbing, very office friendly, extremelly versatile. However, i would not pay the price for what it is and for such a weak longevity. If you want to smell classy and pretty and acknowledge you wear a BDK quality perfume it's nice to have it. It's just a lovely, pretty, romantic but forgetable one for me.

not_jena

Writing this review on behalf of my mother. She bought this perfume in Seoul simply because the guy handing out samples was cute. For that I respect her immensely. This is a very generic sweet floral, but if an attractive Korean man offers you a sample embrace your inner Lisa. (We are Korean lol)

jeissi

Princess parfume, rosy, delicate, clean, romantic. Pretty

Enrium

Immediately upon spraying my sample of Bouquet de Hongrie, it brought to mind my aunt. She used to wear Chanel Chance Eau Tendre, and therein lies the similarity. Both are pleasant, fresh floral-fruities with a soft musky base, nothing groundbreaking, but good-quality. While the listed notes of each look quite different, the overall result is of two startlingly similar scents. It is also like Marc Jacobs Daisy in style, but without the violet.

BdH opens with sweet-yet-fresh fruity notes. The strawberry offers light, aquatic sweetness, but quickly gives way to the pear note, juicy and sweet. The cassis is green and tart, adding freshness to the background. There is no citrus here, but the sweetness and freshness are beautifully balanced. I find that pear is often paired with musk in perfume, and here it is no different. The clean white muskiness that permeates this scent marries beautifully with the pear note initially, seamlessly complementing the florals that follow.

As it develops, the floral heart emerges, led by clean, powdery jasmine. Soft, powdery rose rounds out the bouquet. Soft woody notes emerge as it dries down to a musky skin scent. It is very well-blended, with remnants of the pear still evident as it fades. It is almost indistinguishable from Chance Eau Tendre at this stage. Sillage and longevity are moderate, and it is a spring/summer feminine scent.

A woody-musky floral-fruity, BdH is a feminine spring-summer scent - an easy, effortlessly elegant everyday reach. It is nothing special, and is redundant considering the existence of Chance Eau Tendre, but regardless, it has mass appeal in the best way. 3.5/5.

I sprayed on Chanel Chance Eau Tendre (EDP) today morning for work, came home to a sample of this received free with other perfume purchases, and lo and behold, upon spraying this on my skin - I was instantly transported back to my morning perfume application. What a coincidence.
Literally, Chance Eau Tendre (EDP). I didn't like Eau Tendre at first - found it too simple, too girly, boring, too feminine. But the EDP on my skin is just so versatile, so inoffensive, so easy-to-wear for work that I ended up purchasing it anyway. I feel the same way about this - a bit strange to have essentially a more expensive dupe for Eau Tendre. Bouquet de Hongrie has a BIT more "roundness" and "sweetness" about 5 minutes into its wear (which is when the strawberry starts to come out), I find it slightly less strong than Eau Tendre EDP (but that is VERY strong on my skin). Overall, very pleasant. 9.5/10, but not very niche.

Ghiwa

It’s a fresh, soft, feminine, scent but it lacks originality, it reminds me of éclat de fleurs by Lancome and Eau tendre by Chanel.

BetterDays2024

Where is the fruit? Not here! This is a mature floral along the lines of Love in White but less intense. It has this one particular sharp note in common but I can’t identify what it is. It’s not bad but it’s not great. I do appreciate that there’s no vanilla, caramel or any other cloying sweetness. They seem to like to sneak those notes in everything these days. This is the 3rd scent I’ve tried from this house and I’m just not impressed. I do not agree with the Mojave Ghost comparison. MG is far more earthy and unisex. This one is more feminine.

Farrque

Pink floral note, gardenia, powdery, clean white musk and a soft red berry (raspberry) note.
Hard to get anything more out from this. A pretty, plush scent for fans of something like Byredo's Mojave Ghost.
This might lean a bit more feminine for some. Very "office safe".

sunnyviolets

Indolic jasmine, beware.

Drvo Naranče

Boring, typical, i see why it could be considered pretty in the most mass appealing way, smells like every other Oriflame or Avon fragrance which is everything I hate. I’d rather had it smelling bad than this boring.

msudersin

When people say a fragrance is pretty, they mean something like this. It’s not unique or groundbreaking, it’s pleasant and I can see it being mass appealing.

The fruitiness quickly disappears and it develops into a pretty floral perfume.

DariaDark

I really wanted to love this one. I heard so much praise and the notes seem so safe.... But I just don't smell it at all! Like, literally, nothing but a bit alcoholic water.

My man however, he was disgusted. Never ever had he made a comment about my perfume and believe me, I use a rather wide range of different types. This one, he didn't even know I put on, but immediately asked me from other room to open the window (It was, in both rooms: that's how the scent got to him). Then I came to kiss him goodbye and he pulled away asking me if I wear something because it's making his stomach turn. Ofc I left immediately and when I got back home in the evening, he described the scent (quote): There was this old house from a man that died in 1920s. When we got there as kids and opened his old wardrobe, it smelled just like this.

So, instant no from me. So sorry! :(

Maya lilac

BDK has a couple of beautiful fragrances that perform great.

Bouquet de Hongrie is a captivating blend of strawberry, pear, rose and jasmine with some amber and woods added to the mix all over a clean musky base. I consider this a classic French style scent, very pretty and delightful. Effortless and charming! Youthful and uplifting! Potential bridal fragrance.

Where it falls short of being a great fruity floral is the performance. Some other BDK I have tried have the same issue. It opens beautifully but sadly disappears after 3-4 hours of wear. It doesn’t really projects that much either.

I would totally buy a bottle for spring and summer use if I could find it on sale, for a lower price. Which proves impossible to find so far.

It’s not outrageously expensive for a niche scent, but it’s quite light for my liking and lacks in performance!

Until then, I will be finishing my 10 ml travel size because I really like it!

I own the EDP version of Chanel Chance Tendre and I would say that Bouquet de Hongrie is about 80% similar, this being more sweet and performing worse on me.

Baltabarin

BOUQUET DE HONGRIE - A fruity-floral fragrance that makes your mouth water, with a caramelized strawberry that sets it apart from many of its peers. It opens with a wonderful and incredibly sweet rose that immediately captures attention. After an evolution that's not overly complex, it remains on the skin as a perfect example of its category – sweet, seductive, and clean. BDK doesn't revolutionize with this fragrance but rather offers a more refined alternative within a category of perfumes that is currently quite saturated.

ver5

Had to sell this one. I couldn't smell anything on myself, I even tried to overoveroverspray and still couldn't smell anything. I asked the people around me and they said it's super soft almost smelled like nothing. Not worth it.

ekoeko

This is so much better than Chanel. So so much better.

Gionnijulius1820

This fragrance to me was so boring, i didn't find anything interesting about it at all, and I'm not hard to please at all, not a fragrance snob lol. This isn't similar to chance tendre edt to me at all, chance is more fruity, juicy and fresher then this parfum. This is more floral, with hints of strawberry and pear, and it doesn't last nearly as long as chanel or even project as good. I was very disappointed b/c i wanted to love this. It is very girly, you get a lot of the strawberry pear and musk, with cassis and jasmine in the backgroud. Didn't change much on My skin either. I will say the skin scent lasts a long time but you have to dig your nose into your arm. I'll pass on this next time.

MelissaKS

I’m wearing it side by side with Chance Eau Tendre EDT (I don’t have the EDP, nor have I ever smelled it) and they’re VERY similar. This one has the pear and Chance has the grapefruit, but they’re close overall. They’re both beautiful fruity, floral fragrances. I haven’t yet determined if I’d need both in my collection.

I’d say if you like Chance Eau Tendre, you’d like BDK.

Update: Chanel is more fruity on my skin than BDK. As they dry down, I definitely pick on the differences more.

TabledThoughts

Delightful and youthful fruity floral parfum.
Definitely smells very similiar to a Chanel Chance fragrance.

verzosa

I'm torn between this and Chanel Chance Eau Tendre though both have their distinctive qualities. I find Chance Eau Tendre has a brighter fresher musk. To me Bouquet de Hongrie gives off a bit of a more muted feel (which I like) with a juicy character while being less flashy; its deeper and ever so slightly more expensive. Once I'm done with my big bottle of Chanel Chance Eau Tendre, this dilemma will eventually present itself.

Lejrmc

Chance eau tendre edp but stronger 🩷 will be purchasing a full bottle

KweenMiko

I don't get any strawberries and the flowers smell like plastic. This is a close to the skin scent, I can barely smell it on me.

amudrechenko

A very beautiful pear-inspired perfume! I am still convinced, I am better off investing into the PEAR inc by Juliette Has a Gun. The JHG is jsut muskier, and more prominent! But I am in love with DBK too, it's just softer, more feminine and more rosy. It's better than the LV's Coeur perfume, as it's not as green and mossy as the LV's pear.

cyclone1391

I got this as a sample when I wanted to sample Gris Charnal. This is very nice, clean, girly. I personally think it's better than Chance Eau Tendre because it projects better, a bit more fruity and a little less white floral, and lasts very well. That being said, it's not really my style, but is a light inoffensive fragrance.

SophiaViolette

I was excited to try this sample out of a few I chose from BDK. I liked the first sprays, It’s floral, sweet, feminine… but then I think « It reminds me of ». It’s Chanel Eau Chance.
The perfume isn’t bad, but obviously It’s not original at all, so I had to put a dislike.

* I have a 2ml sample, happy to swipe *

pearl_999_aog

This is a beautiful soft, floral, sophisticated fragrance. It was love at first sniff when I tried it the first time. After sampling it from a 8 ml decant I decided to buy the full bottle. It’s gorgeous, lasts 5-6 hours on skin but even though longevity is moderate it’s worth having in my collection. It’s floral, sweet and happy. A perfect pick-me up scent for any day. I love using it during spring and summer but I use as well during the colder months when I want something fresh and feminine. I can highly recommend trying it in store or a decant.

SailorV

A delightful pink fruity floral. It's true that this is quite similar to Chance Eau Tendre (EDP, I'm sure the EDT is not that different, but I haven't smelled that one in ages and can't say for sure). This doesn't have the Chanel DNA though, which I'm fine with - Chanel certainly makes some nice fragrance, but I have never been obsessed with the house.
Just like Eau Tendre, the heart and soul of Bouquet de Hungrie is a blend of creamy jasmine, white musk and light dewy rose. The strawberry and pear in the opening make it a bit sweeter, but they're not too in-your-face. I especially enjoy the subtle strawberry, it's very light and natural, but still noticeable. I see this has some votes as similar to Daisy Eau So Intense, but I disagree. This strawberry is not as candy-esque as the one in Daisy Intense, and the scent is airier in general.
Overall I would call this clean, but not soapy, as it doesn't smell like bar soap or soap bubbles. It's just very floral, springy, perfect to wear with a pastel sundress.
Maybe this is not the most original fragrance, but I think it's among the best of its category. And on my skin it lasts fine, too. Strong like!

queenofsillage

Very similar to Chanel chance eau tendre. I blind bought it but ready to sell if anyone interested.

Kterhark

The concept for this perfume would have worked beautifully 10-15 years ago, but now that perfumes are nothing but over processed chemicals its plain annoying. I can't say it smells like anything other than a generic floral. It's a step above pot pourri and a shelf below an EDT. With some modifications this could be something special

ellovesperfume

i'd say its more floral than anything else, nice smell but not special enough for a fb

QueenieIrenie

It's pleasant enough but nothing too unique. My husband thought it smelled "old." My first assumption was that he meant "old lady," but now that I'm smelling this again, it does smell a bit dated to me and reminds me of fruity florals from 20+ years ago, like an upgraded Amor Amor. While I love a good rose and I enjoy a number of fragrances from late '90/early 2000s (and a few from early '90s), there are others that I enjoy more than this one. I also often find strawberry to smell too synthetic when it's so prominent. I will revisit in warmer weather, but I don't see myself wanting an FB once my travel spray runs out.
Edit: Longevity is lacking, especially compared with other BDK offerings I've tried (Gris Charnel, Tubereuse Imperiale, Pas Ce Soir, Rouge Smoking, Velvet Tonka)

Sjefke

Lots of rose with jasmine and very sweet strawberry. A sweet fruity and floral perfume. It reminds me very much of Chanel Chance eau Tendre. The sweetness in this fragrance starts to irritate me after an hour. Then I got rid of it so quickly. The same goes for Eau Tendre. But if I had to choose, I would still go for this perfume. It's just a bit tighter and more sparkling

Crystalita76

Bouquet de Hongrie 🌸
Fruity- Clean-Classy
This is a fruity freshie that is very beautiful but is extremely lacking in performance.
Very likable. Could be worn anywhere and even be a signature fragrance.
The rose mixed with the juiciness of the pear and the strawberry 🍓 is delicious.
The white musk giving it a freshness and the cassis keeping it from being too sweet from the pear and strawberry.
It is extremely similar to Chanel Chance Eau Tendre EDP. Almost identical. But the strawberry note is standing out in Bouquet de Hongrie which is not present in the Chanel.
Beautiful fragrance.
Great for spring and summer.
I get about 4-6 hours on clothing. So this is not as strong or performs as well as Chanel Chance eau Tendre EDP.
Inoffensive. I think this would be a perfect office fragrance.
I think this could be easily worn by any age group.
Definitely pink and definitely innocent. 🍓🌸

malikun

I looove this perfume, it smells so elegant and fresh. But not soapy, more of an "open window to the garden" type of freshness. In my mind it is associated with money and power, you will definitely like it if you enjoy scents like Another 13( woody-powdery) or Chloe Nomade(woody-fruity). However, it is too close to Chanel Chance Eau Tendre but more pricey.

OneBlueSummer

turkish rose killed this one for me to "jamy/thick"

betsyglez8

I thought of a banana gum with rose water ,
Very tutti fruity rose fresh scent ,
I like the balance not too sweet .
Final evolution is more in a floral clean scent .
But still some fruits faded in .

Rouge Jasmine

Smells like Chanel chance eau tendre and Mojave ghost. Unfortunately longevity is just as bad. Out of the three I think Mojave ghost takes the win by a little bit in terms of longevity. Chance eau tendre lasts 30 minutes on my skin. So I guess BDK comes in second place.

KaliDurga

As others have said, "soapy floral" is the perfect description. I would add that it smells like a pricey, upscale laundry detergent because of the sharp tang. This is a no for me.

okamikiera

Really nice, but really bland-- a vague fruity floral cocktail. If “sweet” was characterized as a single perfume, it would be this. Sweetness is fine from a sensory point of view, and it does please me just as sweet food does. In most perfumes though it becomes an all-encompassing sensation, flattening the scent. As-is, this reminds me of cotton candy, light and fluffy, like a high quality version of Pink Sugar mixed with a fresh strawberry shampoo scent.

Daycaremoney

I enjoy the soapy floral but it just doesn't last I feel like I have to layer it for it to project and at this price it's very disappointing

petcake

Bouquet de Hongrie is my favorite BDK scent I've tried so far! Feminine & pretty. I'd call it a sweet-soapy floral more than the suggested fruit accords.

MrsSage

Opens a little sharp with white florals and a dry, almost soapy non specific fruit. After a moment the lorenox kicks in with a toasty leather note in the background. The musk smells a little cheap. It's okay but kind of reminds me of a cheap Zara or Versace perfume.

sugarheartedgirl

Got a sample of this and after a week, I had to get it. This is gorgeous - opening is a bit strong for me and then it goes away after a few moments - but comes back as a sweet, almost a little bit like powdered sugar, warm lingering floral scent that sits close to the skin for hours. My new signature ♡

Edit: the scent that develops and stays for hours has something similar to VC&A Orchidée Vanille, a sort of gourmand vanille...

allthatis_barelythere

It reminds me of Chloé EDP - not a dupe, but it has a similar vibe. Its a light, airy floral with a good dose of rose. Classic and very pretty, but not dated. I don’t pick up the fruity notes at all on my skin though. I personally can’t wear it because it irritates my skin a little (like Chloé… I have no idea why) and it’s not really my style, but it’s a beautiful choice for anyone looking for a classic but youthful floral.

$¢enta$ti¢

This smells gorgeous I picked up a BDK discovery kit from France to test all of their fragrances the discovery kit contains BDK’s top sellers and has a mix of both top m sellers and women's. This fragrance also smells like something I own in my personal collection LOL

Scent profile: I pickup strawberry, pear, and Amber in this fragrance along with musk. I feel like there are already a lot of fragrances out there that smells like this fragrance but fraction of the cost.

This fragrance does smell like fruity shampoo as a lot of reviewers have mentioned. I think there are other better offerings than this fragrance. Bouquet de Hongrie Does not smell offense and it’s blended beautifully and has some natural smelling components. I don’t think this would be cloying either in some occasions. This has a clean facet as well.

**Edit** after a couple of minutes I then remember what this fragrance smells like and it’s damn near close to mancera’s Sicily! This fragrance on the dry down is damn near close to mancera Sicily and they both share the same couple of notes in each fragrance respectively.

Rose, jasmine, and musk in the heart and base of both fragrances and Bouquet de Hongrie has peach and mancera has white peach and citruses.

Catmo

This is a very clean, fresh, laundry-esque scent. Great for everyday- maybe a touch of the fruitiness but not a ton.
It actually smells A LOT like herbal essences shampoo!

adice

This type of scent is so likable and versatile, imho. I just have a travel size and that will probably be all I need of this one, I already have many fragrances in this scent "genre" - fruity floral musk. Something about it gives me fancy spa product or hair salon product vibes. I especially like the opening of this fragrance which is where I get the sweet fruity crispness of the pear. This one doesn't last long (3 or 4 hrs) or project much on my skin.

I'd put this into the same "genre" as some of my all time, day- time, inoffensive favorites such as EA Sunflowers Dream Petals, Versace Bright Crystal, MFK Aqua Universalis (AU is still my fav. in this grouping), or even Ex Nihilo Fleur Narcotique. Just easy to wear, easy to love, and I'd probably wear any of them for the same occasions.

pweedyadel

BDK Bouquet de Hongrie
This is an easy reach fresh,clean everyday scent. It is light yet sweet (not sweet sweet but fruity-floral kinda sweet) and can be used as a signature scent. I get roses and musk and a little bit of strawberry 🍓. It doesn’t develop on my skin. It stays linear the whole time. I prefer this to Montale Roses Musk because this is airy and soft.
This smells similar to Chanel Eau Tendre but Bouquet de Hongrie (BDH) has this je ne sois aura to it / niche quality to it. I would buy this if it were to be sold for a $100.00
I picture an it girl wearing this with an addiction to pink colors 💕
This is a strong like for me (I’ll give it a 7.5/10) because of the price points. But in all, this is really a pretty scent

PeachPerfume

I love everything from this house. Bouquet is a light, summer floral, beautifully harmonized with strawberries. It unfortunately doesn't last very long (30 minutes for me), but is a crowd pleaser, and unlikely to disappoint or offend. I disagree with others that this smells generic- it has a simplistic elegance and lightness that is absent from cheaper counterparts. I personally don't detect any pear or cedar, even when specifically looking for them. A winner for a summer day.

Stoicchild

A perfect wedding scent. It instantly reminded me of weddings and pretty bridesmaids. This can be an excellent choice for brides. It's nothing fruity. I sprayed this up in the air and smelled nothing fruity but a dressy floral scent that's natural. I like that it's not "perfumey" I hate perfumes like that. It's not a generic synthetic floral scent, but a natural vivid one that you'll remember. This is timeless and classy. It's an inoffensive happy floral scent which can be worn all year round (=

venusbruises

Nice, elegant florals. Nothing groundbreaking but very, very pleasant and uplifting. It is not too sweet or too screechy, just fresh, soft and feminine with some juiciness from the fruits. Too bad the longevity is quite poor. If the performance was better I would see myself buying a full bottle, but with a lasting power of only 1-2 hours 160 € is too much.

emilyjxne

Admittedly I haven’t smelt Daisy by Marc Jacobs in years but Bouquet de Hongrie reminds me of a slightly more elevated, sophisticated and fruity Daisy. Not really my vibe.

BotticelliBlonde

This is absolutely beautiful. I smelled the fruits first, sweet without smelling sugary or artificial. To me, the fruit notes in this present as slivers of fruit flesh as they would be presented in fine dining--not the experience of eating the fruit whole. This is fruit without the syrup, peel, and seeds, simple slivers of flesh left to rest on the tongue. The florals come next, so beautifully balanced between the jasmine and rose that I couldn't distinguish between the two. I don't particularly care for rose (sacrilege, I know), but I love jasmine and I genuinely don't mind not being able to separate the two here. It feels authentic to a spring breeze that carries too many flowers to name. The musk steps in politely, making itself known but overwhelming nothing. It is at the service of the fruity floral star. The cedar note here is uniquely fresh as is the amber. I'm not familiar with lorenox, but everything resinous here is fresh and light and tender as a spring day. The fruit flavor stayed in my mouth and on my lips throughout the development of the other notes. I literally tasted it on my lips and felt like I could transfer this perfume best with a kiss.

The notes and overall fragrance were gentleness itself. I felt like no amount of overspray could make it anything but gentle. This has all the beauty of a perfect early spring day with the promise of summer fruit. This is a Chopin spring.

Unfortunately, it is also as brief as a perfect spring day. I don't know that it could possibly have lasted as long as I would want such beauty to last, I could snort this straight from the bottle and still want more. As a metaphor for spring, its brevity is apt, but as a perfume its brevity is just a shame. Twelve hours after dabbing, I can find this by pressing my nose to my skin, but I want so much more. I would not mind reapplying this if I could--I would decant into a small mister and spray myself every hour without complaining, it's so lovely. Unfortunately, while the price is probably appropriate to the quality, it is not appropriate to my current budget, so I will have to wait to purchase a full bottle. Fortunately, BDK offers this as a hair perfume on their website at a more achievable price.

I've seen the comparisons to Chance Tender, which I have never smelled and can't speak to. I can only say that the choice of fruits is different, and strawberry and pear seem especially significant to me as highly emblematic of summer and fall respectfully where I live, and are especially meaningful in terms of promising future seasons. They are also two of my favorite smells in the world, so my biases are in play.

I am surprised that more voters don't see this as an equally day- and night-appropriate fragrance, as it is so romantic. It doesn't have the skank power I love in an aggressive sex bomb scent, but it expresses a different more vulnerable side that is more difficult for me to access. I feel soft, sweet, and beautiful, and in love with love. Is there such a thing as an emotional gourmand?

Stampinator

Definitely pretty. Quite uncomplicated, subtle, inoffensive and chic. I do like it. I would probably love to be gifted this one but don't think I'd buy a full bottle myself. I feel like I need a few higher brighter notes and maybe a little more in the base. If you are after an easy everyday scent this would definitely be worth a sniff.

Update: After a bit more wear I actually find the understated nature of this to be absolutely lovely. It is clean, gentle and feminine and sometimes it's nice not to wear screaming diva scents. I like it a lot :)

antoniov

I don't think I like the combination of strawberry and rose, for some reason it's very strange on my skin and the powder note becomes quite strong after a while. It has good longevity but this wouldn't be my ideal floral bouquet.

Controlledbyscent31

I can see this as a signature scent, like miss dior or something similar lts just a easy reach fresh,clean everyday floral scent for spring and summer day time. I like it but it's not worth the price to me.

Aglopez09

It’s floral on my skin . I get roses… not much of anything else, unfortunately

Millapetrovich

It’s lovely! Very easy reach for me and it is definitely a everyday scent. There’s some days that I prefer to just wear something light and fruity and this is it.
At the first spray, I get strawberries with a very soft pear. As it starts to dry down, the strawberries become softer and mixes with the Amber and Musk.
The longevity however is not that great, I can probably get 4-5 hours, up to 8 if I layer with a moisturizer.

I love this creation. It’s not very unique but it’s a modern take of Tendre in my opinion. It’s lovely and I pick this a lot when I don’t want to overload my senses. It’s pleasant for everyday wear. It would also be nice for hot summer days

librabeing

Very much not for me. No distinct personality. Just a standard floral perfume.

lovelytuberose

Reminds me of a shampoo/conditioner from childhood.

ingeneuxo

-Faint, floral and clean scent that I can see being rather crowd-pleasing.
-Would make a safe blind buy, and a great contender for unoffensive perfume to wear on airplanes. (-)

Before I had a chance to test Bouquet de Hongrie, everything I heard about it was that it's not original but nice for everyday use, light and fruity. Based on this, I imagined it to be something like PdM's Cassili or Meliora. Well, it's completely different and much better (and less generic). On my skin it's powdery and floral in a very fresh and clean way, almost uplifting. Definitely a pleasant surprise. Comparing to other BDK's perfumes, I also like it better than Creme de Cuir or Tubereuse Imperiale (which are both quite nice).

Don’t get me wrong, I love BDK and I own several bottles from the brand. Bouquet de Hongrie though is just blah very linear and boring. It’s a floral/fruity fragrance but it definitely doesn’t feel niche to me, not even designer at all. It would be one of those fragrances you’d find at a convenience store for cheap...
If you like floral perfumes, there are sooooo many more choices out there than this one. And at a much better price too.
Maison Margiela has a similar fragrance called Flower Market that smells so much better in terms of blend. I don’t feel cheated when I wear Flower Market. It’s a much better one if you are into something of the kind.
Definitely sample Bouquet de Hongrie first is my advice...

I think this one is a hidden gem of the house of BDK Parfums. It has Givenchy eaudemoiselle eau florale vibes.

Bubbles1964

Bouquet de Hongrie won’t win any originality awards. BdH is a fairly straight forward sweet floral scent. Although a little too fruit forward and sweet for my taste, leaning feminine and into mainstream territory. I would not classify this as a niche scent.

Kronstadt

Whilst I understand the comparisons to Chanel Chance eau Tendre, Bouquet de Hongrie by BDK Parfums is a real step up in terms of subtle nuance. The sweet fruits aren’t that sweet and it’s more a clean floral fragrance for me. It’s absolutely beautiful, and whilst it leans feminine, I think this can be worn by men easily. A real surprise in my book as I expected it to be completely feminine. I really enjoy Bouquet de Hongrie.

Air of Grace

Very pretty , powdery , fruity floral .
It’s so powdery on my skin compared to the reviews .
Soft and gentle but generic smell , not worthy of a bottle .

Fumeslover

Chanel Chance eau Tendre rebottled. Pretty much sums it up.

Itstartedwithtinkerbell

This is a pleasant, feminine clean floral. But I’m really surprised that a niche house would release this since it’s so incredibly close to Chance Eau Tendre! I mean, there are only “so many” truly new and astounding scent profiles out there…there are going to be smell-alikes. But I just kind of don’t know why they bothered to release this. Oh well, it’s perfectly nice.

Scentedalterego

Nice and easy scent, pick me up pink fruity floral. Nothing new here, vanishes quickly. I feel there are better performing ones in this realm. Go for Chance Eau Tendre or Delina instead.

Perpetual Collector

Goes on a bit sharp, definitely musk and rose centered; it feels like it could be Narcisso creation. Very faint, i would actually be happy if i could smell it after an hour, i don't think it held up longer than that. I purchased Creme de Cuir ( the absolute bomb) from MaxAroma and received BDK 10ml trio for free (BdH, Rouge Smoking which i loooove, and Gris Charnel). Bouquet de Hongrie is not something I'd reach for, nor pay for, at this time.

heatherrose

Very juicy, flirty and fruity opening with a sweet, beautiful and endearing floral dry down. Gorgeous from start to finish.

It's not my style at all, but I knew that going in. This was one of a few fragrances which I sampled with the intention of getting familiar with notes and blends I wouldn't typically wear.

All things considered, it's quite pleasant - a light, fresh, airy floral with realistic flower notes. Mostly rose, I think. It's definitely feminine by typical standards. Interesting how rose can easily lean both ways depending on what scents accompany it. I didn't smell much fruit, which was nice, because sweet fruity fragrances tend to give me a headache.

This fragrance doesn't seem to project much; I accidentally spilt a good deal onto my wrists, but it wasn't overwhelming. There is a very faint hint of cleaning product chemicals in this, but it's not prominent.

I wore this after I returned from work in the evening and then to sleep, since I didn't want to test it during the day in case it was really fruity and I needed to shower it away. I slept very well. No idea if the fragrance had anything to do with that.

Estelamusic

Beautiful easy breezy tank top weather Fragrance. Not worth the retail, but I picked it up a discounter for much much less, so I’m ok with the value I got. Over spray and spray your clothes and you will get a decent 4-6 hour wear. Skin just doesn’t hold this for longer than 2 hours.

remyjjdavidson

Tried to smell it on my skin after 2 hours, it was like i had never applied it! How annoying, it smelled great initially.

camilacarlos

Not worth the price. Very very light generic floral with a hint of nail polish. No projection and no longevity.

dianamay

Superhyped because of Demi Rawling on youtube...this does not smell niche, you can find something similar almost in every designer house. Nice ripoff of Chanel Eau Tendre but lasts absolutely nothing (1hour at best!), however it is a dumb reach and very crowd pleasing but not worth the price tag. If you want to upgrade Eau Tendre get Mojave Ghost but really don't bother with this one.

dearaari

Looks like this holds a similar DNA that all husbands approve instantly. I was chatting to a frag friend and she said she likes it but keeps it from the declutter pile only because her husband loves it. For me too, I like it, I don’t love it. Hubs, oh he adores this. Fairly generic good girl, babydoll fragrance. Excellent longevity I might add. I had idole which it reminds me of, that sparkly effervescent kind of floral, but that one is way too sweet in comparison. Not bad if you got it at a discount. Full price, probably check out Pas Ce Soir instead that one is gorgeous.

SweetieZ

A lovely summery fragrance! I wanted to love this more, but the cedar is a bit too "bright" for my liking. I get loads of strawberry and rose, until it settles to a very cedary floral.

Mere_D

Laundry soap... this smells like an overly floral laundry soap.

Fleurie20

On my skin, this is essentially the same juice from Chanel Eau Tendre in a different bottle. It is a fresh floral scent whose notes all seem to be blended well together to become this bright, lively, uplifting floral spring fragrance. Modern, elegant, non-offensive. Nothing screams attention or uniqueness. I can totally understand to some it can be a bit boring.

I sprayed it lavishly at 9am, it is 4pm now and I still get whiffs of it every now and then, so its longevity and sillage seem to be better than Chanel Eau Tendre, which almost always vanishes completely afterthe firdt hour on me.

A crowd-pleaser. Don't need a full bottle, especially at the price it is being sold at.

Heidipeidi

Just boring.

Perrywinkle

This is a funny old scent.
I blind bought it as I LOVE Creme De Cuir and Gris Charnel.

At first smell of Bouquet de Hongrie I was like - nah, it's a bit plain, smelled it before, generic designer smell.
I let the post-it I sprayed just sit on the desk. Every so often I would get this lovely waft of soft musky rose.
Then I started to want to smell it at random times days later, and I realised I had fallen in a little bit of love!

A simple, feminine, soft and lovely fresh floral - added
hints of musk and fruit. It actually smells a touch sea salty fresh to me as well.
Price point is a little pitchy but if you like it, you will love that the longevity is EPIC!

Nessers

It's nothing special, to be honest. It has that typical fruity sweet smell you smell often in a Macys. Not worth $185

gelkita

I get the rose but it’s a damp rose, the smell of roses that started to decay because they stayed too long floating on a pond....

You know what clothes that took too long to dry smell like ? Well this smells exactly like this + someone tried to cover the nasty smell with some rose fragrance on top 🤢

It smells NOTHING like Chanel Eau Tendre which I own in EDT + EDP, which is a fresh bright floral.

BOUQUET DE HONGRIE: I actually feel like BDK's Pas Ce Soir is way more of a 'fruity-floral' fragrance than Bouquet De Hongrie. At least on my skin. For me, this one's tone is quite floral, with a watery-sweet rose being the dominant accord.
My partner had a crazy reaction when I wore this scent and he couldn't stop smelling me and saying how great I smelt but... I was a little less wowed by it. To me, Bouquet De Hongrie smelt like a nice, fresh perfume but the dry down became quite soapy to my nose.

Kinda like I just washed my hands with expensive soap.

It definitely isn't an unpleasant scent! It's very pretty and soft and a bit dewy.
It's just not something that I would reach for in this season, and not something I am looking for to add to my perfume collection at the moment.

However, on my skin, Bouquet De Hongrie had better projection and longevity than both BDK's Pas Ce Soir and Tubereuse Imperiale. I had a bath last night and I could still smell Bouquet De Hongrie on my skin this morning :)

𝐔𝐩𝐝𝐚𝐭𝐞! Bouquet De Hongrie grew on me. My partner's interest in getting closer to my neck helped but I began to really appreciate the girly, casual sweet rose aroma on my skin and how, for a watery floral perfume, it was incredibly long lasting!
Very 'ballerina core'... if you're into that king of thing.
A strong 7/10

Celestya

Very feminine and inoffensive scent for all the day. I really like the floral fruity combo with musk, rose and pear. I do not smell cassis or strawberry. To my opinion, it is a perfect fragrance for office. The sillage and the longevity are moderate. Elegant and modern, I like it a lot.
9/10 for spring

DarlingNikki

I've been hearing about BDK for a couple of weeks now via YouTuber reviewers and was curious so decided to check them out by getting this scent. The resemblance to Chance Eau Tendre is spot-on but done in a niche manner and with far less powder/muskiness so I like it much more than Tendre (which would be an absolute love for me if it didn't dry down so musky/powdery on my skin). I also smell Daisy in this, too, as Tendre and Daisy resemble each other to my nose and Vince Camuto Fiori (they are all siblings or best friends lol). BDK has managed to take a familiar theme of musk, roses, and general sweetness and kick it up a notch in terms of quality and removing notes that irked me in the original trio. I'm definitely going to be exploring this brand further now. Can't say I'll actually spring for a full bottle of this, but I wouldn't mind a bigger decant of it for a decent price.

Binchicken

This is my least favourite scent that I have tried from BDK, however I still like it very much. On me it opens as a strawberry musk stick slapping you in the face. The musk calms down, and the strawberry and floral facets come into the foreground. The musk prevents it from being sugary. It is bright, happy and young. It will bring a smile to your face.

Kots_Tanya

This fragrance indeed has a resemblance with Chanel Chance Tendre but it’s sweeter from the strawberry and pear notes, less woodier and quality is much better, more niche. Very flirty and girly just like the color of the juice. I love how it develops and becomes stronger on my skin over the first stages after spraying. It’s sits so well on the skin. Very lovely. Super happy to have in my collection. BDK Parfums don’t disappoint.

adrienn99

floral with fruity aspects...not sure what makes this fragrance a 'Hungarian bouquet'. To figure that out, I went to bdk official website which has the following story behind:

"She’s getting ready. It’s a beautiful day. The sky is blue. She puts her naked foot on the floor and like a dancer, travels the distance of the mirrored hallway to the dressing table. It’s one of her favourite spots. She likes getting pretty there. There are only flowers from the garden, and both her hands, fresh and clean, which seem to spin around them. Her right hand, agile and light, grabs her powder, then a bottle of perfume. Her left hand clutches eye shadow and nude lipstick. She then moves on to the closet, where she picks a light dress and fixes a rebel strap. She slides on pair of heels and fastens a belt around her waist. Just like every morning, she walks towards her balcony full of flowers. It’s on the 4th floor and overlooks the gardens of Palais Royal. She is happy and thinks of her day ahead, smiling."

still confused.. anyway, brands have came up with names totally unrelated to subjected fragrances, so I'll let this one slide.

Anyway, it is a decent floral. It is nice. But I'm not impressed, and even less impressed when saw the price tag. For EUR 150, I'd get myself an Amouage, which has 10x the uniqueness and complexity factor compared to this one.

Had I not known the price tag of this one, I would have said it was more in the EUR 50 range, one of the Gucci Flora stuff or something. Cheeky, bdk, cheeky. Following the Bond 9 and By Kilian model, perchance?

shushkin

Very Rosy, musky with a touch of strawberry/pear and blackcurrant leaf stopping it from getting too girly opening. A very classy and modern scent for the ladies.
It's surprising really how quickly the rose steps off the gas and it's now more soft fruity musk with a touch of rose.
If you are wary of the sometimes voluptuous rose note then do try this beauty. The musk, blackcurrant leaf and wood notes stop it getting too girly.
I can see this being a very easy to wear scent. A daytime, anywhere scent. It should leap off the shelves!
Weak to average longevity and sillage in a warm room.

Q80

Rose musk.

This one is a typical rose musk fragrance, not the really sharp red roses type, but a fair one. It has hints of pears, amber and cedar but mostly musk and roses.

mudpach

There are no words for describe this beautiful scent. I'm completely under the influence, amazing soft but strong flowerly scent. This is the scent of the year! 10/10*
