CH L'Eau 2017

I bought this in a duty free shop in St. Maarten. I immediately was so happy because one of my favorites (Lancome O de Lancome) had been discontinued and this is almost spot-on replacement. The lasting power is great; I can still get whiffs of it at the end of the day. Clean, bright, citrusy and fresh tempered with a bit of the base notes makes for a great all-around day to night scent.

Very nice floral / citrus and woody (with some of the same floral / citrus vibe) dry down. This would go great on a man or woman. Amazing warm weather and daytime scent for both genders in my opinion.

OBSESSED w/this sharp and elegant citrusy scent. Totally unisex. Great for daily use, long lasting and love the bottle too!

I blind-bought this because it was compared to my beloved L'Occitane's Ruban di Orange. FYI, CH L'eau is nothing like that fragrance. In the beginning, there is a blast of sweet citrus, ginger, and spices, which I enjoy until the soapy notes take over. Luckily, the Tunisian Neroli only dominates the composition for a short time, and some sweetness returns, and woody spices emerge to help balance everything out. Phew! It has a touch more citrus sweetness on skin and smells soapier on sprayed clothing. CH L'eau is 100% unisex. At first, I wasn't sure I liked it, but the composition is just unusual enough to keep me interested—a gently sweetened spicy and soapy citrus. It's a very fresh, clean scent that would definitely be good for daytime-casual wear, especially in the hot summer. Sillage and projection are average, but CH L'eau has incredible lasting power for a freshie. It can stay in my collection, but I would not have purchased it had I tested it first.

Tea and lemon scent with a lot of ginger and other spices added. Amazing and warm. It will be perfect for winter evenings. Longevity and sillage is excellent. I can smell the scent for twenty four hours on my clothes, and over time it becomes harder. Tea disappears, leaving the space for ginger, pepper and cardamom. It's real unisex! It is not sweety or floral. This fragrance is about spices and citruses. The base notes remind me of the classic Marina de Bourbon in a striped box. Only Marina is about fruits, and Carolina is about citruses and spices. But you have to choose the moderate dose, otherwise you can really turn from a woman into a man. But with a moderate dosing, femininity is ensured!
