Eau des Bienfaits Roger & Gallet 2012
Helpful Review
Grandma's Soap
Roger & Gallet didn't mean anything to me until recently. Unfortunately, I had a not-so-good start with "Eau des Bienfaits." As so often happens, I stumbled upon this fragrance marketed as unisex by chance.
From the first spray, I was transported back to my childhood. I know that I have always perceived this scent at my grandmother's house as a child. It smells fresh (bergamot, lemon), orangey (blood orange, mandarin), soapy (violet leaf) with a musty undertone (patchouli).
Overall, it reminds me of a piece of soap, freshly washed, so to speak. I see the scent as more suitable for a mature lady than for a gentleman. For me, there is no significant scent evolution from beginning to end. The fresh citrus notes and the musty patchouli consistently set the tone here. I was surprised by the longevity of 4-5 hours, which is good for a body spray/EdC. Well, EdB and I will still not become friends.
Maybe a liaison will develop with another acquaintance from the R&G line.
