Icy Fruity Floral
For the life of me I don't understand why this fragrance is so unpopular. I'm actually enjoying it, even though it's nothing like the original, blueberry rich Parlez-Moi d'Amour from 2010.

Grapefruit is often a difficult note for me to wear, however in this fragrance it's light and watery. On the skin, Parlez-Moi d'Amour Eau Fraiche wears like a crisp and icy fruity floral. Perfect for hot and humid weather.

I have a lot of time for the house of John Galliano. All his fragrances have a unique twist which makes them all the more lovable. I also have to mention the adorable bottles that these fragrances come in. This beautiful mint-green envelope shaped bottle, with the colourful, floral stamp is enough to make any woman 'ooh' and 'ahh'.

The grapefruit when paired with the soft, dewy jasmine accord in the heart, works a treat. Parlez-Moi d'Amour Eau Fraiche is really pretty and feminine. I'm actually close to buying myself a bottle for Summer, it's that good.

I can sort of smell the white currant accord, however it doesn't play a leading role in this composition. There's a lot of jasmine, rose, grapefruit and ginger helping create a delicate yet fresh finish.

I think if I tried to wear this fragrance during Autumn or Winter, it would probably make me feel ill. However it's the type of scent that I crave during the change of seasons, and I think it would work extremely well with the hot, arid climate in Australia.

The longevity is actually pretty good, as is the sillage, even though it does appear to be inoffensive for the most part. I will be testing Parlez-Moi d'Amour Eau Fraiche a few more times before deciding, but I'm hoping it will be a new Summer purchase for me.

Tell me about the Rainbow Meadow
Fresh, juicy, soapy, fruity. This John Galliano is really easy to wear and one of the finer currants on the designer market. It somewhat reminds me of a simpler "L'eau Mixte," which is always a great compliment.

Sparkling moments alternate with softer caresses. A virgin in distress. Without being clichéd or too soft. Quite beautiful for March to May. It feels spontaneous, vital, and life-affirming. It certainly won't change your life, nor will it completely enchant you, but it effortlessly piques interest and keeps you in a great mood. Even suitable for sports. Perfect for a picnic or a casual hike through woods and meadows. It doesn't require many words, not many glances, not much attention. It's a natural beauty. Only rarely does it come off a bit soapy-synthetic and cheap. Very rarely.

Bottle: sweet idea with the postage stamp. Sweet scent anyway.
Sillage & Longevity: spring-fresh, spring-light, spring-ephemeral. 4 hours.

Conclusion: a nice, likeable currant on a juicy spring meadow. There are much worse things. Sometimes there is little better.

Freshly Showered with a Splash of Mandarin!
I also own the namesake Eau de Toilette and I must say upfront that these two have nothing in common, which one might assume.
I find the bottle very beautiful and it doesn’t look cheap; the cap is not made of plastic like many other perfumes, giving the overall appearance a high-quality feel.
When I apply the Eau Fraiche, I perceive a pleasant scent. Very spring-like and for me, it mainly smells of mandarin. You immediately feel freshly showered and clean, without the perfume smelling too soapy.
Just like the Eau de Toilette, the perfume surprises with its longevity!
So the Eau Fraiche offers good value for money!

Conclusion: Beautiful scent for spring and summer with good longevity!

Edit (17.12.12): Unfortunately, I have to add to my comment again. The more I used the perfume, the less I liked it. The scent that I initially enjoyed now honestly makes me feel nauseous. Unfortunately, it’s just not my thing!

So special that I fell head over heels and ordered a bottle right away. Fruity blackcurrant on a musky base. Subtly floral. Sigh.

Sweet fruit gum, starts off zesty, then turns into a really unpleasant stinky musk for me - a true wash-off candidate.

Creamy, fresh, green, citrusy, and zesty - I can't identify any specific fruits or flowers. Lasts only a short time, sillage is skin-like.

The Parlez-moi d'Amour line always delivers: nearly tart, naturally convincing blackcurrant, sweet, innocent, and fresh.

Goodbye winter. Finally diving into what I hope will be a beautiful spring. With this scent, it's a breeze! Here’s spring in a bottle!
