SyntheticWhat does L.12.12 Rose Eau Fraîche smell like?
The opening is bright and fruity, with blood orange and grapefruit leading. In the heart, ozonic notes and pink pepper keep things cool; the base of cedarwood and blackcurrant settles the scent on a light woody, fruity ground. The floral accord is clear but never heavy. The overall feel is fresh, clean and slightly synthetic.
Longevity and sillage are rated moderate, though the number of votes is small, so this is only a first impression. Its light, airy build suits everyday wear. Clarins Par Amour Toujours and Jil Sander Sunlight Grapefruit & Rose have a close profile.
