Thou shalt not mansplain

"I know this one!" she said proudly.  "It's… Tobacco-Lemon!!!"

I struggled hard. I don't know of a perfume with that name, Y Eau Fraîche doesn't smell like that to me, and I don't own a perfume with theses notes (aside maybe Lagerfeld Classic Eau de Toilette , but I believe it's not the two notes you'll have in mind with this one). But for the sake of love, I remembered just having lectured her a few day earlier about the playful grapefruit-cannabis accord in Mugler Cologne - Fly Away. My bad. Thou shalt not mansplain.

But indeed she surely remembered this fragrance. I wore it a lot in summer 2022, where I emptied the most of my bottle of Y Eau Fraîche. I wore it during our nice trip in the country side of France, a holiday whose memory we both cherish.

As for the fragrance, well, it opens fruity and very shower-gellish, a pleasant if not very original blue fragrance. The drydown is smoky, which makes it more standing out in my collection at least. I tried the Y Edp in stores and it seemed very close (with likely a better longevity?). The longevity is correct on me and I won't complain about the price as other reviewers as I got it for a cheap price (round 30€ for 60 ml, second-hand).

All in all a fragrance I enjoyed in summer. Today I emptied my bottle and wrote at last this review. I won't buy a new bottle (which seem nowadays harder to find as it seems discontinued). I feel the need to move on, these days with "FR/18 | A.N Other" which my sweetheart enjoys too.
