This is a lighter summer version of the floral-clean "Pleasure fragrance," which was launched in 1995. If you don't like the original Pleasures scent, you should not consider Eau Fraiche, as the new variant is not far from the first creation. Why would Lauder change much about this bestseller? True to the motto "Never change a winning team," the differences are hardly noticeable. Peony, jasmine, lilies, pink pepper... all these components remain intact, the light lilac top note is not present in the heart (disappointment for me - I would have liked more lilac). The fragrance comes across as a bit fresher and greener than the regular "Pleasures," but since I could never really warm up to the neat original version, "Eau fraiche" is also not on my wish list. "Pleasures Eau fraiche" smells somewhat artificial-synthetic and has that special charm of "clean person"... so a clinically clean, sterile aura. "For the sheer pleasure of it" is the tagline for the fragrance. No pleasure for me. By the way: the pink plastic cap on the bottle does not look particularly elegant.

girlish lady

Since my mom owns all the Pleasures fragrances, I was glad to find another flanker that she doesn't yet have in her collection.
Pleasures Eau Fraiche.

I like all the Pleasures scents, but they suit my mother better than they do me.

I think they all have a charming girlish quality, just like my mom, even though she is 29 years older than me.

Still, they also convey elegance - in a very natural way.
And Eau Fraiche has achieved that once again.

The character of the original Pleasures shines through clearly, but the Fraiche lives up to its name, as it is even a touch fresher without losing longevity and expression.

The green notes are invigorating, and the lily is subtly elegant.
Then I am delighted by full lilac and bright jasmine, spiced with mild pepper.
The sandalwood, mixed with patchouli, provides a smooth finish.

The fragrance suits a girlish lady, like my mother, perfectly.

I look forward to surprising her with Eau Fraiche.

I'm in the mood for Jasmine today

Oops; no one has commented on this yet? Well, then I'll just take care of it!
This fragrance sample called out to me this morning: "Spray me on, come on, finally spray me on! How long am I supposed to just lie here in the drawer?"

So, quite biased, I generously sprayed the sample on my décolletage and freshly washed hair. Mmh; fresh; mmh, probably just another one of those scents with no distinctive character; just spray and evaporate, I think to myself...
At first, it smells super fresh and bright; after about half an hour, the jasmine comes in. Jasmine, jasmine, I can identify it precisely; explosively, just like nature is currently throwing out all the greenery that wants to emerge from the earth in any way.
After three hours, Eau fraiche is still present, and not just in a simple way; it now conveys a certain elegance; mmh, my outfit today, blue jeans and a checkered blouse, does not match at all, mmh, I wouldn't have expected that. I'm amazed!

After more than six hours, the jasmine is still there; weaker, but the elegance has faded by now, and a hint of peony comes in, but very faintly.

Conclusion: A jasmine office scent for spring/summer! If I were to receive it as a gift, I would use it, but it's not a must-have for me. (The sample will still be used up tomorrow, pffft!) :-)
