Pros & Cons
- ✅ I really like this, as it’s very different than most of what I own. It’s sharp and light almost like vertiver on my skin with a crisp sweetness. I would not consider this a safe blind buy due to it being so different than what’s currently popular. I wore this during a warm winter day and I wonder how it would develop on my skin in a warmer climate. I would consider this a cold scent on my skin.
- ✅ In a recent swap with a fellow fragrantica pal I got a large rollerball full of this and OH MY GOD! This is beautiful! This is soft and strong-doesn’t sound like that would be possible but trust me once you smell it you’ll know exactly what I mean. For so many years I steered clear of all JPG fragrances, I found them far too strong and headache inducing. But last year in thick Of covid I started trying different, deeper and More complex perfumes and so glad I did. I’ve fallen in love with any and all I’ve tried and can’t wait to try more-so far scandal..so scandal, scandal a Paris, la Belle and now this! Can’t wait!!!
- ✅ I have the JPG EAU Fraichê André and I love it! I am wondering if the other flankers of Fraichê like Airlines, Wonder Woman and Betty Boop smells exactly the same, and just the bottle is different or the scent is also different between them? Does anyone know?
- ✅ Edit May 2022: Changing to a like. I think it's too sweet overall, I don't think I want a full bottle as I like EA's Untold Eau Fraiche and Chance Eau Fraiche as better Fraiche options. I'm still evaluating to try and determine my favorites in the sweet, ginger, and citrus categories. But I know this one isn't it, but it's not bad at all. I'm smitten with this. I tested a small spray vial decanted sample. It's starts out very sweet and fresh but dries down to a pleasant blend of light florals and some subtle warmth from perhaps the vanilla and labdanum. It also retains a bit of the fresh and sweet fruitiness with a hint of spice from the ginger. Sadly it doesn't last more than a couple of hours. Makes me want to try other fragrances with Tiare flower.
- ❌ Does not last at all.. dont waste your money, is not worth the price, plus it smells similiar to the original, so a water down version with no lasting power
