Very helpful Review 22  
Fragrance Adornment
Green-herb serenity spreads over heated spirits, which gratefully sink into the coolness of shy mint.
Nestled comfortably, intoxicated by past scent memories and enveloped in future optimism, they dream of familiar-blooming wishes.
Scattered petals ebb and flow like waves to the spiced grass edge, blinking expectantly at the sparkling dew drops, a promise of crystal-clear refreshment.
Colorful fruits rolling across the meadow smile beside and with each other, fresh and unsweetened, yet equal in their existence, while lemons splash playfully with sour joy, contagious with their carefree happiness.
Charming individuality strolls peacefully with the bitter uniqueness in the gentle spring sun, hand in hand, heart to heart.
Like yellow-green butterflies, scent-turned emotions fly together with hope towards the sky, adorned with little powdery clouds.
Time travel into olfactory treasure chests, fanned-out scent cascades in golden shine flow like adornments along gender-equal necks.
Timeless pleasure in a shimmering scent jewelry box, united in yesterday, today, and tomorrow.

Valuable, precious, unique.

Eau Fraiche deserves more than just a statement...
Eau Fraiche was one of my last 3 blind buys. Even when ordering, I was sure I would like it. Year of release: the 80s, the ingredients: spices, mint, lemon. Yep, this can only be good. And it is. So, during my lunch break, I quickly want to jot down a few lines about the fragrance, which deserves more than just a statement.

Eau Fraiche starts just like its name, fresh, with a lot of lemon, a bit of jasmine, a hint of mint, green spices, and after a short while, a big whiff of wood comes in. The whole thing blends into a green-citrus, very aromatic scent without sweetness and only a hint of floral notes. I think I catch a whiff of lily of the valley and honeysuckle - they are not listed. The longevity is impressive, easily 6 - 8 hours, the sillage is moderate. The bottle, well, practical and easy to use. And the price? Too cheap. Eau Fraiche is labeled as a women's fragrance, but it is definitely unisex. In the 80s, there were quite a few women's fragrances that would easily pass as men's fragrances today. Those who like summer scents like Eau Fraiche and Eau Sauvage (Dior) or Eau du Sud will find Eau Fraiche to be an affordable and beautiful alternative.

Mr. Pluto likes it too, “..you smell particularly good today..” Fragrances that earn you compliments are especially loved, aren’t they?

Great spring refresher
Herb opening: jasmine and daffodil
Then softer: minty lily-of-the-valley-lemony
Chypre on cedar instead of moss
Fabulous!

Spring is approaching.
The oats are sprouting.
The maiden hops into the green.

Fresh + green-spicy with radiant jasmine + a bright cedar base = delights bunny hearts. Fauna feels very realistic.
WONDERFUL well-groomed scent!

Very fine, green, slightly grassy, yet subtly powdery scent that takes its own path. Great summer alternative to citrus and the like.

A charming yet slightly rough green scent with citrus in the opening and a bitter floral and green note from the heart. Summer freshness!

After a somewhat harsh start, it gets more beautiful and refined with lots of green and gentle floral notes. It needs warmth, though. Works well for men!

Aromatic flower shop. Initially infused with lemon. Beautiful floral base. Slightly old-school. Perfectly balanced.

DTC's later Charmes&Feuilles adds a bit of crunchy daffodil stink and a typical dry chypre note.
Also for the guys!
