Eau de Rochas Fraiche

This is a fresh citrus scent, almost a transparent quality to it. You'll feel clean, uplifted and ready to go!
The first time I smelled it was at a parfumery when I lived in Paris. The woman behind the counter gave my some sprits after a beauty treatment- a nice little gesture that has sticked in my memory. A nostalgic scent to me...oh the months in Paris ...

A little sidenote: I think the new parfume that came out in 2010 is almost identical to the original 1970 version..

Summery, refreshing, flattering, and noble

As soon as it cooled down a bit, my anti-heat blind-buy fragrance finally arrived! But it's still warm enough, and hopefully summer isn't over yet. Because I wanted a scent that can withstand the 30-degree mark. So let's unpack it right away: The bottle is already very pretty with its ribbed, heavy glass look and delicate blue. No dribbling, but rather a generous application, after all, it's a Fraiche. First impression: Wow, how beautiful it is! I haven't had a comparable scent under my royal nose until now.

Fraiche is everything that I usually do NOT like in summer fragrances: It is NOT citrusy (only at the start due to the bergamot), NOT green, NOT aquatic, and NOT too herbaceous. Instead, Fraiche is fresh, yet soft and flattering. Fraiche is completely unsweet, cool, a bit herbaceous, but in a wonderfully soft, somehow noble way. There are only a few flowers present, absolutely pleasant. I think it's the iris that makes the scent so beautifully soft. Its presence in the fragrance pyramid significantly influenced my decision to buy. And I made the right choice!

Having found the Eau de Rochas far too herbaceous for me and the Eau Sensuelle nice but a bit too floral, everything here is simply perfect: Fraiche is a wonderful, noble summer companion that you don't smell on every corner. Wearable at 20, but certainly also at 30 degrees and above. I think not many summer fragrances achieve this summery range! Fraiche doesn't last all day, but I don't expect that from a light summer scent. Just refill and take along - for a quick refreshment in between. It delights my own nose and also that of those around me!

They Called Him Incense Man

Then there was Mrs. So-and-So sitting there, smelling totally clean and fresh. So I asked her what she was wearing, and she said she didn't know. A friend of Mrs. So-and-So, who works in a perfumery somewhere in the Walachia (not in Romania), had brought her the perfume. I then nagged her until she could tell me the name of the perfume: Eau de Rochas Fraîche (of course, otherwise I wouldn't be writing this comment here). I trudged to the nearest perfumery the same day and asked if they had it. They didn't. I went home and ordered it from an online store. I was serious about it.

Eau de Rochas Fraîche smells totally different on me than on Mrs. So-and-So. I wear the perfume to work on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays. (On Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Saturdays, I wear something else.) It's terribly hot here in this area, I'm melting, and I'm also at that age where one is constantly too warm. Eau de Rochas Fraîche keeps me somewhat together and provides me with cooling comfort. The sillage is relatively low on me. When I ask my family testers, they have to push their noses quite close to me. However, the longevity is phenomenal on me. If I don't shower after my late shift because I have to get up again soon, I still smell of Eau de Rochas Fraîche in the morning.

The family testers consider this scent to be the best summer fragrance so far, but they also call it "Incense Man." Because strangely enough, what remains until the next morning really does smell like Incense Man on me, I have to admit. But it's a great Incense Man. When I reapply after a few hours, I feel like I'm shifting this effect, but the family always calls it Incense Man. No matter when. I can't explain why it smells like Incense Man at all, as supposedly no incense is included. One must also consider that my family testers enjoy flashy expressions and may not be as reliable as I would like them to be. Eau de Rochas Fraîche smells great, honestly.

For that, I could swear that flowers and musk are already frolicking in the top note. The bergamot is, of course, also present. After a few seconds, the perfume is so citrusy-fresh-floral and sweet at the same time that I can hardly get my nose off my arm. (I can't work like this, of course. I need my arm there.) Even after a few minutes, the bergamot is still quite present. After about half an hour, the bergamot becomes a little weaker.

I don't know the big sister Eau de Rochas (without Fraîche) and therefore can't say anything about the similarity. Every scent smells different on everyone. I took a blind buy here and was rewarded.

Multitasking total - Secret Stars: Part 6

My grandmother always had a small bottle of 4711 in her handbag, sometimes also Tosca. These fragrances served not only as perfume. They also provided refreshment that one would fan onto oneself on hot days, and when dabbed on a handkerchief, they were good for wiping sticky fingers or for rubbing away stains that had somehow appeared on clothing while on the go. Last but not least, they were used to ward off bad odors and to disinfect seemingly bacteria-laden objects before touching them. Even small injuries were disinfected on the go with 4711 or Tosca.

They say that sooner or later, one inevitably becomes like their parents. For me, it's different. I am becoming like my grandmother. What 4711 and Tosca were to my grandmother, Eau de Rochas Fraîche is to me.
But as befits a true secret star, Eau de Rochas Fraîche kept me in the dark about the true circumstances for a long time.

I could have noticed it last year when I bought my bottle. I spontaneously and enthusiastically decided on the 220ml splash bottle. But usually, one sees the beam in their own eye last.
And so it only struck me this autumn: I was packing for a train journey, luggage that I also had to carry at times. So everything heavy had to go. Restrictions also applied to perfumes: only plastic travel sprays and preferably only 2-3 fragrances, possibly also small manufacturer samples in plastic. I changed the fragrance selection at least 10 times. And it became clear to me: Eau de Rochas Fraîche definitely has to come along. But why exactly? It was a scent for the height of summer. A fresh scent, as the name suggests. Only then did I realize: Eau de Rochas Fraîche is not only always suitable but also for everything.

Initially, I really just used it as a fragrance, and I liked it very much as such.
In the opening, with the typical Eau de Cologne freshness of bergamot and orange blossom of the gentlest, most harmonious kind, a slightly powdery note soon joins in. This iris powder is also delicate and light and gives the sprightliness of the still perceptible bergamot some grounding and support. Throughout the heart note, the scent remains light, citrusy, and fresh, but the iris adds a bit more calm than such a citrusy, light fragrance would otherwise convey. The initially strong sillage quickly melts away with the heart note, and I can only perceive Eau de Rochas Fraîche close to the body or with strong movement. This is wonderful in summer; you refresh yourself briefly and are then not overly bothered by the scent, but fortunately, it doesn't disappear right away either; it is just the right amount of subtle and retains the freshness factor throughout. The longevity is quite remarkable for such a fragrance; I can definitely smell it for about 7 hours, even if most of the time it is faint. Aside from the increasing retreat of the bergamot, which is replaced by delicate oak moss as a freshness carrier, the scent now remains linear. I notice nothing of musk.

I have loved Eau de Rochas Fraîche for hot summer days for quite some time.
But why did I want to have it with me so badly while packing for the trip in autumn?
Slowly, it dawned on me: With its alcoholic-citrusy top note, it not only conveys refreshment in heat but also a sense of renewal in terms of cleanliness. I wouldn't consider any of my other fragrances suitable for making my own refreshing wipes. I wouldn't want to wipe my hands with any of my other scents in order to then eat, say, chicken in banana-coconut sauce and couscous with my hands. If I had to say which fragrance from my collection I would consider the least harmful if I accidentally soaked it, it would also be Eau de Rochas Fraîche.
Which of my fragrances could I really imagine would remove a light stain without damaging the fabric or leaving a stain itself? Only Eau de Rochas Fraîche. Although, on white fabric, I would be a bit skeptical due to the slightly bluish tint of the bottle's contents and would first test it on a piece of hem inside.
Well, as you can see, I haven't tried everything yet, but what matters more is this feeling of certainty that Rochas Fraîche is indeed this deliciously refreshing all-rounder.

And lastly: Which of my fragrances would I consider the least intrusive even when using another? Eau de Rochas Fraîche would be one of two.
This is a very important point, as it means I can use Eau de Rochas Fraîche even when I don't want it as a fragrance but am wearing another.

I don't always have Eau de Rochas Fraîche in my handbag, but almost always. It definitely has to come along on trips, if only as a room spray for potentially oddly smelling hotel rooms. My subconscious knew what it was doing when it joyfully and unabashedly ordered the 220ml splash.

I am becoming like my grandmother. And that's a good thing.
My grandmother and Eau de Rochas Fraîche are, in many ways, secret stars to me!

Very helpful Review 9

The little sister of Eau de Rochas

or Eau de Rochas 'light'
During the intense heat last week, I was very enthusiastic about my old "Eau de Rochas".
And now this weekend, I had the chance to try a sample of "Eau de Rochas Fraîche".
The resemblance between the two fragrances is unmistakable, with the 'Fraîche' feeling lighter and less bitter to me. I could also say it is somewhat more feminine than the original.
This is also logical when I look at the ingredient list:
Both share bergamot in the top note and oak moss and musk in the base.
What the 'Fraîche' lacks is the bitterness of basil and grapefruit, as well as the spiciness of coriander and patchouli in the heart note and amber and sandalwood in the base.
This is probably also the reason for the weaker longevity of the 'Fraîche' compared to its bigger sister.
For myself, I will wear the 'Fraîche' when it’s not quite hot enough that I can and want to wear the big brother.

(Maybe it’s a bit unfair to compare the 'Fraîche' with 'Eau de Rochas', but I think it’s helpful for those who know and love 'Eau de Rochas' to imagine the 'Fraîche'.)

Very pleasant summery (unisex) fresh scent with light flowers and a slightly earthy mossy base. Light and without any annoying sweetness.

Eau de Rochas is a delight in both the ladies' and men's versions. This high summer variant also makes sweating an elegant pleasure.

Muggy weather in the Rhineland... then Frau Pluto Eau Fraiche is recommended. Lots of bergamot, a hint of iris, musk, and oak moss, it cools you down.
