Eau Fraiche

Pure frutiger eco energy. Such a green, fresh and even somewhat spicy scent.. Very verdant. If you don't like any of those qualities in your perfume skip this one but I love it. It's very lemon and mint forward but you also get that distinct geranium and spicy spice profile as well. The other notes don't stick out too much to me. I'm not sure why people aren't placing this as "great value" on the pricing since it's an absolute cheapie. I got a 3.3oz bottle for like.. $14? That's absurd. I love to spray it on either after an evening shower or before work. It really can go with any occasion if you just need something light and refreshing but inoffensive. Definitely doesn't last long but I don't expect much in that aspect. Personally I'd wear this all year round it's just SUCH a great generalist fragrance as long as you like green/mint/citrus and spice.

In a unexpected turn of events, Eau Fraiche has supplanted EA Green Tea as my "easy reach" Spring and Summer fragrance. To give context, EA Green Tea has been my warm weather scent for decades, a subtle and unobtrusive freshie that could be sprayed with abandon. Eau Fraiche was a blind buy when Green Tea was temporarily sold out on my favorite perfume website. I remembered the Fragrantica reviews and decided to give it a try. As mentioned in many other reviews, Eau Fraiche is more herbal and lemon-forward than Green Tea. It is an energizing scent for me, one that can be accidentally oversprayed with no worries about offending . Thank you Fragrantica reviewers for alerting me to Eau Fraiche!

at first spray, this seems so familiar! it's green and woody and the woods are a bit smoky. i think i get cedar, lemon, mint and geranium. after a few minutes, the florals get stronger. it's still very green and refreshing but not as bitter and the brief smokiness is gone. it turns into a realistic floral and smells like an actual flower, with a hint of the herbalness from geranium. i think this is really gorgeous and refreshing and i like it even better than i thought i would.

I love this fragrance. Herbal, green, slightly spicy, and fresh. I think it's that combination of geranium, mint, and lemon that draws me in. I know it's not for everyone, but it's for me and I can't get enough of it. My husband doesn't comment on too many of my fragrances, but he likes this one enough to mention it to me the first time I wore it. Perfect for spring and summer! One of my faves.

This fragrance does not smell exactly like Dolce and Gabbana original Light Blue, but this fragrance is in the strong citrus family. A close relative. Shower fresh and clean. Best way to describe it. And you have 5 hours of guaranteed sillage. Spring, summer fragrance but can wear in fall/winter and still keep fresh impression.
