Les Eaux Primordiales · 2023

Fresh · Floral · Fruity

Les Eaux Primordiales Plumeria is a fresh, floral and powdery scent with a sweet, creamy gourmand warmth, made for women. Its sillage is rated as good, so the scent is noticeable around the wearer. Few people have voted so far, so this is better read as a tendency than a firm verdict. It is positioned as a feminine fragrance. Frangipani, cherry blossom, rose, iris, violet and heliotrope build a floral, powdery core. Bergamot and pink pepper add freshness and a light spice. Vanilla, tonka bean and almond sweeten it into a creamy softness, while patchouli stays in the background and keeps it balanced.

Abstraction Raisonnée

6.6

Les Eaux Primordiales · 2015

Fresh · Citrus · Green

Les Eaux Primordiales Abstraction Raisonnée is a unisex fragrance with a fresh, citrusy and green character, set against a woody, spicy backdrop. Longevity is rated good and sillage moderate, though the number of ratings is small, so these figures are only a rough guide. Being unisex, it sits comfortably on both men and women. It opens with grapefruit and rhubarb in a bright, crisp entry. In the heart, jasmine and nutmeg add a spicy warmth to the freshness. The base of tobacco, Haitian vetiver and benzoin settles into a woody, lightly sweet ground. A synthetic edge also shows in the accords.

Gardénia

7.8

Les Eaux Primordiales · 2018

Fruity · Sweet · Spicy

Les Eaux Primordiales Gardénia is a unisex fragrance with a fruity, sweet character and a spicy edge. Its longevity is rated good and its sillage strong, though only a few people have voted, so these ratings are a tendency rather than a firm verdict. It sits between masculine and feminine and can be worn by anyone. Gardenia, jasmine and rose form a floral base, which pear, raspberry and red fruits sweeten. Vanilla milk softens the whole, while saffron and pepper add a spicy warmth. Sandalwood and patchouli leave a woody depth behind it.

Champaca

8.0

Les Eaux Primordiales · 2018

Citrus · Floral · Fruity

Les Eaux Primordiales Champaca is a unisex scent that carries the brightness of bergamot and grapefruit into a sweet, powdery heart of champaca and jasmine. Its sillage is rated good, though only a few voters have weighed in, so that reading is tentative. Nothing is recorded about seasons or occasions; being unisex, it suits both women and men. The top opens with bergamot, aldehydes and grapefruit for a citrus start. In the heart, cyclamen, plum, champaca, blackcurrant and jasmine build a floral, fruity sweetness. Labdanum and cedar set it on a warm base with a faintly animal edge. A creamy, powdery side runs through it. Chanel Allure Eau Fraîchissante pour l'Été and Dior Joy (Eau de Parfum) have a close profile.
