I have already emptied a large bottle of Dior Addict EdT completely - and now I'm starting on the second one.
This consistency means something for me, a person who often changes their perfume.
Today, I approached Eau Fraiche with a preconceived notion.
My husband warned that it’s just the same thing in green, only thinner.
He is right about the "green," as that is the mandarin leaf - but Fraiche is not thinner than the EdT.
Especially cool neroli, citrusy orange, and soft vanilla come through clearly right from the start.
Not a diluted summer water.
The freesia, jasmine, and gardenia are also prominent - crowned by the enchanting queen of the night, rose.
The tuberose is not shy either.
Rosewood and tonka bean provide a noble depth, and once again, the vanilla sweetly enters the scene.
A distinctive fresh fragrance - with a characterful statement.
Do not be deceived by the adjective Fraiche, as the scent is marked by fullness and longevity.
Still, it fulfills its promise of freshness, as nothing weighs it down.
There is indeed a similarity to the EdT - yet it follows its own path.
I am happy to have both fragrances in my repertoire.
