Manila Grace Eau Fraîche

Antoanette dear this is Cachen. Was I absolutely shocked!I am a feminist, I am a follower of feminist perfumes, serious, sober but velvety I have never put the flavors of jellies, caramel, sorbet, pralines in this category, on the contrary these flavors usually shout something else. I hate and I will hate forever what Escada has become and those colorful and horrible perfumes and yet......I received this perfume from a friend, I thought it was a classic Italian cyprus, possibly vintage after the bottle I opened it and blew it in the air .... wow a fine, fragrant aroma, a velvety citrus not hard, powdered not suffocating with intimate and aristocratic projection .... I instantly fell in love.I wore it for a week in a row, it seems to me that it perfectly complements the classic women's business suit from 90 as I wear. It is somehow a fine but elegant note, feminine but cold Don't shout: on your knees like Dupont or Arrogance, but it says the same as 5th avenue, marigold, Oscar and pearl verte: I'm the lady, but I can break your neck if I want to.When I looked at the notes ... what? Sorbet?It can't be, the notes can't be correct, then I looked for the author and surprises Corinne Cachen .... this woman I adore whatever she puts her hand in, she creates a feminist perfume it doesn't matter what she puts it there somehow always manages to keep the note of power and sobriety as I love Perle Verte I love this...amazing. By the way, it has nothing to do with Escada, none!

Don't let my heart fail to come up with an adaptation. First of all, don't test it on your hand, for a strange reason, at least on me, it catches a sweeter smell on your wrist. If you put it on the neck directly on the skin, it smells DIVINELY a slightly sweet citrus, like a citrus plantation after the rain and on her clothes she has a floral scent, even surprising, a tulip and a violet with something cold and something fruity, very unique scent. I don't know how Mrs. Cachen does it, but she takes out some perfumes 😍

Milk, mango and ginger.Cheerful tipical Italian scent.

Love it until I bought it, now I detect an annoying note that I can't put my nose on. It also last two seconds so that's refreshing I guess. I do sense the coconut but it's as if there's a green note that interferes with it so after a while all that's left is the suffocating green note, without a trace of the promised coconut. There's also a milky feel about it which I appreciate. It was cheap, I wonder if the black one smells any better?

Kinda heavy and cheap coconut. No lasting power. Another regret in counting...
