What does Eau Fraîche smell like?

Its longevity and sillage are both moderate, though few people have rated it, so those figures are tentative. It reads light and clean, with no lean towards masculine or feminine.

The top notes of petitgrain, bergamot and lemon give a bright, slightly bitter opening. Towards the heart, mandarin orange and orange blossom add a soft floral touch while the chypre accord deepens the green side. Musk in the base settles everything into a calm, clean finish. Le Labo Fleur d'Oranger 27 and Guerlain Cologne du Parfumeur have a close profile.
