What does Femme L'Eau Fraîche smell like?

Its longevity is moderate and its sillage weak, so it sits close to the skin rather than filling a room. Most voters place it in daytime, leisure and office settings, and few choose it for evenings or nights out.

It opens with fruity notes and mandarin orange. Stephanotis adds a soft floral touch in the heart, and amber sweetens the base a little. The overall impression is fresh and fruity, with a slightly synthetic edge. Xerjoff Erba Pura and Floral Street Sunflower Pop have a close profile.
