What does Eau Fraîche smell like?
It opens with vervain and lavender giving a citrusy lightness, while white thyme and rosemary pull it toward the spicy and green. Lilac adds a soft floral touch in the heart, and Haitian vetiver settles the scent onto an earthy base.
Most voters pick summer and spring. It leans toward daily wear, leisure and the office. Its longevity and sillage are rated moderate. Votes show neither a clearly masculine nor a clearly feminine character. Santa Maria Novella Verbena and Lorenzo Villoresi Acqua di Colonia have a close profile.
