EarthyWhat does Eau Folle smell like?
Citrus and green notes give it a bright, sharp edge, softened by floral notes, while the leather adds a leathery, earthy depth. Spicy and woody accents stay in the background, and a faint animal touch rounds out the chypre character.
Its longevity is rated strong and its sillage good. Released in 1970 for women, it shares a close profile with Fabergé Cavale and Chanel Bel Respiro.
