Senteurs Fraîches

7.7

Eau Jeune · 1977

Fresh · Citrus · Floral

Eau Jeune Senteurs Fraîches is a fresh floral for women, pairing spearmint and Sicilian mandarin orange with a softer jasmine and neroli heart. Both longevity and sillage are rated moderate, so it stays close to the skin and wears quietly. The number of votes is small, so take that as a rough guide. It is classed as a feminine fragrance. Fresh, citrus, floral and green accords lead. Spearmint and Sicilian mandarin orange open it brightly, then jasmine and neroli add a gentle floral heart. Rosewood and moss close it on a lightly woody, earthy base.
