Chanson d'Eau

After years and years of absently looking at this green bottle in the boudoir of my mother's perfumes, until one day I decided to take it out and looked at it better ... "Chanson d’Eau" a French name !? Strange... I thought (in my ignorance) it will be an occasion or a recycled gift !? read the label below ... COTY !!! How COTY !!!? I asked for further explanations to my mother who candidly replied: She is there she forgot Paola years ago (ex-wife of my brother) she probably didn't like it (having received it as a gift in turn) she never claimed it in the time it remained there .... Anyway !!! I tried it immediately and was dazzled: At the juste pulvérisé very fresh triumphant notes of citrus flooded my sensory (now after years and years almost a green distillate) at the dry aromatic basil emerged in all its magnificence with delicate floral notes of lavender and jasmine ... I was amazed... This fragrance is crazy !!! At the unmistakable dry down, the warm and enveloping base of sandalwood and Tonka bean. Naturally my investigations deepened here on Fragrantica and I noted that it is a fragrance from 1995 (in full fruity era - gourmand) that is much loved, at low cost. Fragrance with an aromatic, fresh, green Sillage, fragile and evanescent duration. Democratic price. I guarantee you that it keeps splendidly even after years of total stasis. Chapeau Coty

A lovely fresh, green fragrance which I'm loving at the moment. I remember having this years ago (in my teens) then somehow forgot about it until I saw it pop up on ebay. Got a 200ml bottle for just over £8. Was hoping it would be as nice as I remembered - it's even better. So glad I bought it. In fact I've ordered another one 😊 it lasts ages on me and I certainly won't be forgetting about this little beauty ever again. Excellent value for money.

For me this is an absolute classic. It's cheap, it's from the 90s, it has crazy good longevity for a green perfume of that price. One of my and my Mama's all-time favourites - a go-to perfume when nothing else works. It's herbal, green, uplifting like a classic cologne, but like I said – the sillage and longevity is far better than a cologne. If you don't know it and you love green, fresh scents - go for it and blind buy!

I can't imagine not having this in my wardrobe, even if I were to use it once a year! When winter comes to an end and the world around is grey, but the warm and humid wind from the Atlantic brings some fresh drizzle and thus gives me the hope for the spring, this is the time for Chanson d'Eau. And so it has been for the past 17 years:)

This is Irish Spring Soap in a bottle, very green, citrusy and soapy in a good way. I love it, It doesn't irritate my nose, i feel like i literally stepped out of the shower, this will be something id be wearing for the entire summer. Scent develops into a musky scent after 3-4 hours, longevity is okay, but i got compliments!
