With a magnifying glass, I was able to decipher the perfume brand on the colorful label of the black sample spray. José Eisenberg? Never heard of it.
And then no comment on "Eau Fraîche"? That really makes me "happy":-(.
Upon application, I immediately had the scent "Ninfeo Mio" by Goutal in my mental fragrance repertoire. But first, I let the fragrance settle; I had other things to do. In doing so, I noticed that "Eau Fraîche" has a strong sillage; everywhere I had briefly stayed to do something again after a while, the scent was still distinctly perceptible, and it continuously wafted from my arm to my nose while I was busy.
"Eau Fraîche" starts immediately with a very fresh, strong, and cheerful citrus opening. I don't smell any pepper. A very skillful composition develops; I can't pick out individual ingredients, especially the listed ones. Neither mint nor lavender or ginger. Certainly no star anise, which as a spice star smells woody, bitter, and more like cinnamon than anise. But when applied, one knows the scent of roasted almonds and plum jam. I don't smell anything like that in "Eau Fraîche".
Slowly, a hint of creaminess becomes noticeable, which remains.
Now it was time for an "expedition" to my spice rack. The only spice I can definitely perceive in "Eau Fraîche" is the special green fresh sharpness of dried cardamom seeds. The listed mint could also be hiding behind it. Strange, I've never perceived cardamom like this before. The scent sharply and refreshingly rose to my nose and eyes.
After a while, a slight woodiness adds to the scent, grounding it. Here, the star anise could also come into play.
"Eau Fraîche" is without sweetness and without floral scents. It is also not a gourmand but not too bitter, rather spring-fresh.
I would definitely classify it as unisex.

Creamy Freshness
I currently enjoy spending time in the Eisenberg corner because I recently found Rouge et Noir for myself there.

Maybe Jose has something suitable in stock?

Not everything has thrilled me, but I find Eau Fraiche interesting again.

It is certainly refreshing, but not like a wet sponge or a splash of water, rather like a cooling gel.
This coolness from neroli and mint clings pleasantly to the skin without dripping.
You don't feel like you've just stepped out of the bath - rather invigorated like after a morning walk through the woods.

The woody notes stabilize the scent and convey this forest-like impression.
Lavender harmoniously blends in, and you glide calmly into the day.

In general, the fragrance works gently, as bergamot and ginger are also mild and soft.

A surprisingly creamy, gentle refresher that doesn't overwhelm or shock, like a cold shower.

Very suitable for delicate morning grumps like me.

Terre d´Eisenberg
Actually, I had planned to take care of various errands today. But the rain put a dampener on my plans, so I stayed mostly in places where it was dry - like in a large covered shopping center. And since you can bet your grandma that the turquoise perfume chain would be found there, I didn't have to search long.

While browsing, I noticed the Eisenberg series for the first time -
five black cube-shaped bottles that all look basically the same and only differ by names like Love Affair, La Péché, etc.
The boxes are also black with bright, colorful illustrations. On the back, they even kindly list the contents of the top, heart, and base notes.
Upon closer inspection, one of the saleswomen jumped at me and proudly told me about the series, which apparently is exclusive to Douglas. She even sprayed two of the fragrances on Kleenex tissues, allowing them to unfold nicely there. Fitting for summer (which hopefully will be sunnier), I wanted to take a closer look at the Eau Fraîche and even let it sit on a free spot on my arm.

Eau Fraîche Homme is, as suspected, a citrus-fresh summer scent that does not skimp on bergamot. The next association went in the direction of crushed lemon herb. But the slight sharpness of ginger also makes an appearance. Later, it becomes just a tiny bit metallic - but all within a pleasant range.
Until the last molecule, Eau Fraîche remains summery - although it could have been a bit stronger. Because the fragrance is offered, like all other Eisenbergs in the series, as Eau de Parfum. However, there are citrus competitors that come as Eau de Toilette, which are more intense and longer-lasting.

And I think that anyone who likes Terre d´Hermès or liked it at one point and is now tired of it can venture to try this as an alternative.

Easter Nest
A truly beautiful scent that transports me back 40 years. My Easter nest was always lovingly arranged, the artificial grass smelled just like this fragrance. Back then, it wasn't really about the contents for me, but simply the smell...might sound crazy, but I wasn't interested in the colored Easter eggs or the chocolate at all. I was always fascinated by the scent of this pseudo-grass. I can visually see this Easter basket in front of me again. Freshly mowed grass with dew drops, "Morning has broken" is playing on my parents' radio, the world is perfect. The scent is, as I always honestly say, of fleeting duration, but for me personally, it is a fragrance that hits right in the heart because it evokes so many memories. A hint of grapefruit, Mom's spice rack, a touch of mandarin. Spring...a whole summer lies ahead of us.

Brief Citrusy Refreshment
Eisenberg has released a beautiful fragrance with Eau Fraiche Homme. I like it very much. In summer and during sports, it reveals its full potential. There are several citrus ingredients that are well balanced. Lemon, bergamot, pomelo, grapefruit, mandarin, lime. Very subtly, one can later perceive the lavender along with some pepper and tarragon. These three temper the citrus notes a bit and give the Eau Fraiche a certain maturity. For me, the scent stands alongside Dior Homme Eau de Cologne, Chanel Allure Homme Eau de Cologne, and Acqua di Parma.

As beautiful as this fragrance, the artwork, and the bottle are, the longevity and sillage are quite poor. This seems to be intentional by Eisenberg; the fragrance is not meant to be an EdP (even though it is labeled as such on the side of the packaging), but rather a brief refreshment. One can perceive it for a maximum of 2 hours, perhaps a bit longer on clothing. After that, it really disappears completely, which is unusual. However, poor performance is the norm for fresh fragrances. Therefore, I don't want to judge too harshly, especially since the scent itself is fantastic! Price/performance is something everyone must decide for themselves, whether it is worth it.

At a high price a light -synthetic fragrance you could find at the market at a few euros. Absolutely nothing special. Don't waste your money

Hay-like, sweet tea with plenty of woodruff-like herbs. Later, more matte powdered green. The scent feels stale to me...

Fresh citrus breezes cheerfully sweep over the green, herb-infused grasses with young moss, along with scattered wood on patch. Lovely!

Very citrusy cologne, refreshing, becoming creamier. Green-fresh cardamom, slightly spicy + subtly woody.

Great scent if you like spice. Reminds me of anise. Longevity and sillage are unfortunately quite short, so not very satisfying.
