Eau de Rochas Fraiche

I ordered a bottle of this quite by accident, confusing it with the original eau Rochas, but I find I like this fragrance quite a lot, for different reasons. Unlike Eau de Rochas this lasts for an evening. Sillage, while not overpowering, is distinct. Opens with lime and softens into various shades -- last night I really felt the watery aquatics and this morning it is more of a spicy middle note. Its later dry down is soft with musk and I felt, warm vanilla, though I don't see it on the notes list. This is really a terrific day and evening fragrance, entrancing, discreet, comfortable.

I had bought a 7.4 oz bottle of this (I'm crazy about it:-) and I hadn't opened it yet. When I did this morning, I realize it's a splash LOL! I will have to transfer it to a spray bottle..This is the FRESHEST, cleanest scent. And it stays and stays in your skin. The base is absolutely amazing when it mixes with your unique body oils. If you haven't tried this treasure, I suggest you do!

This showed up on a discount site for a few shekels so I bought it and I'm happy. It's one of my better aquatics, unique tones to it, not heavy, and no off notes. It will go in my fridge in May and by July I'm going to be loving this.

The sweet honey liatris and iris combination is so well done. Not overpowering, quite like an airy garden in summer. I imagine myself at the Château de Vullierens near Lausanne. Bonus, it's not sweet.

What is the secret of this fragrance, whether the notes of bergamot and iris, or something else? Beautiful so fresh, like morning breeze. Incredibly reminiscent of Les Cascades Songe d'Iris, but still fresher, sharper, with pronounced notes of bergamot and iris; at the first moment it seems as if it's a lighter version, but actually it's quite a long lasting fragrance that has a sharpness of an aldehyde, although there's no retro touch. Elegant, though somewhat unusual as it lacks something that would make it more memorable...a bit distant too. If you already have Les Cascades, then you really shouldn't buy Fraiche, but if you are looking for cool refreshment that lasts longer than just a few minutes you should definitely try, it might surprise you with its energy, actually floral fresh as dew in the early morning.
