Scent Profile

Composition

Timeline

Showing: Overall Blend

Top, heart and base are the brand's own listing, not a timing claim - the industry classifies a note by its character as much as by how fast it fades. Each curve here is modelled from that material's own volatility, so groups can overlap when a house lists long-lasting materials in its heart.

Its moderate longevity and sillage, combined with its fresh and inoffensive green-citrus profile, make it a great choice for casual and active wear. While some find it suitable for the office, its distinct greenness might not suit all formal settings.

About

Eau Fraiche opens with an immediate hit of bright, zesty lemon and invigorating mint, quickly followed by a verdant wave of green notes and a hint of fruity sweetness. As it settles, the heart reveals delicate jasmine and earthy iris, grounded by the distinctive, somewhat spicy aroma of geranium. The dry down is a subtle blend of cedar and patchouli, adding a clean, woody depth to its fresh, floral core.
