Louis Widmer · 2017

Fresh · Citrus · Floral

Louis Widmer L'Eau de Peau - Eau Fraîche is a fresh, citrusy and lightly sweet floral, aimed at women and close to everyday wear.

Gritti · 2012

Fresh · Green · Sweet

At the bottom, frankincense and opoponax pull the scent towards something resinous, smoky and faintly sweet, with a synthetic sheen sitting in the background. Longevity is moderate and sillage is rated good. Its woody, spicy character leans neither masculine nor feminine, so it reads as unisex. Joop! Joop!

8.4

MAD Parfumeur

Sweet · Spicy · Woody
