What does Eaux de Caron Fraîche smell like?

Longevity and sillage sit in the moderate-to-weak range, so it is a quiet scent. Most voters place it in daily wear and leisure, with sport and business following; evening and night out are chosen far less often.

Tarragon, lemon, grapefruit and galbanum make for a crisp, green opening. The heart brings patchouli, nutmeg, jasmine and rose, where spice and flowers soften that coolness. Musk and oakmoss in the base settle it on a woody, chypre footing. Rochas Eau de Rochas and Balmain de Balmain have a close profile.
