SpicyWhat does Eau de Cologne pour la Friction smell like?
As a whole, it is built on bright citrus notes alongside green notes, leaves and grass, giving a cut-grass freshness. The fresh and green accords lead, citrus adds sparkle, and a spicy accord sits in the background as a light dryness.
Voters pick it mostly for leisure, business and daily wear, with some also choosing it for sport. It reads as unisex rather than leaning masculine or feminine. It has been discontinued. Yves Saint Laurent Eau Libre and Lavanda del Lago Acqua di Lavanda e Agrumi have a close profile.
