Eau de Toilette
Jean-Charles de Castelbajac Première Eau de Toilette is a feminine, classic-leaning chypre that moves from a fresh, green opening into powdery florals; it has been discontinued.
Longevity is rated strong and sillage good. Most voters suggest spring and fall, with summer and winter close behind, and it suits evenings, daily wear and nights out. Over half of voters read it as feminine, and some call it classic.
Bergamot, lemon, peach and aldehydes open it fresh, then jasmine, rose and iris turn the heart floral and powdery, with honey and carnation adding a spicy warmth. In the base, oakmoss, vetiver and cedarwood build a woody, chypre foundation.
