Versace Man Fraiche Eau de Toilette for Men- 100 ml

Product Information

Eau de Toilette or toilet water as it is sometimes called, is a lightly scented cologne that is usually applied directly to the skin after bathing or shaving. It has a high alcohol content and a lower percentage of fragrant oils than those found in ordinary perfume. Also known as aromatic waters, it is most often used in the warmer months of the year. It is the strongest fragrance available. Also known as Extrait de Parfum or pure perfume consists of a 15-40% concentration of perfume essence however concentration is generally between 20% to 30% for most parfums. This means that not only do you need to use less, but also that the fragrance lasts longer, typically for up to 6 to 8 hours, depending on skin type.People with sensitive skin may do better with parfums as they have far less alcohol than other fragrance types and therefore are not as likely to dry out the skin. Although the exact formula for original fragrance has remained a secret for hundreds of years, it is known that eau de cologne contains an alcohol concentration of approximately 2%-5% and essential oils from lemon, orange, bergamot, tangerine, neroli, and grapefruit. Farina inserted wisps of lavender, thyme, rosemary, petitgrain, jasmine, and, for some strange reason, the tang of tobacco. After mixing fruity and mossy tones in Femme, Roudnitska dug further into the hybrid form with Rochas Moustache and Eau d'Hermès. Moustache, composed with his wife Thérèse, joined the fougère with the chypre giving Moustache a ‘missing link' feel. Focussing on the similarities of the two genres, the Roudnitskas placed a lime and bergamot topnote on a soapy base to created a perfume that smells like each of the genres, depending on your angle of approach. Eau Fraiche literally translates into “Perfume Water”. Eau Fraiche not only has the lowest concentration of essential oil, but it is also a water-based perfume contrary to other perfumes that are alcohol-based.

MrsPramm - I found a store a few years ago that would do this for you. Basically you just asked for a particular mixture of scents and they provided the base and the oils and mixed them together. I made a lovely perfume for my mother. Unfortunately, I think they went out of business, but there are still places online where you can do this. The key difference between Eau Fraiche and Eau de Cologne is in the concentration of essential oil. Eau Fraiche contains 1%-3% oil whereas Cologne contains 2%-5% concentration.

How Long Does Eau Fraiche Last?These topnotes are heartbreakingly lovely. And surprisingly intact, for a 40+ year old cologne concentration. The opening is just like crushing both the leaves and the fruit from a citrus tree in your hands, and then burying your face in them. I don't get a specific citrus, neither lemon nor lime, and there's no herbaceous quality like Eau Sauvage. Additionally, the performance is also quite good. You can get about 3 to 4 hours on this perfume. The perfume opens with citrus-fruity flavored top notes and settles with the floral and woody mid-notes before bringing in the base notes into action. Eau Fraiche, a somewhat ironic name, is another early example of the tendency. The momentum of animalic notes surpasses the delicacy of citric notes. Eau Fraiche bridged the the edc to the chypre, creating a unicorn: the durable cologne. Even in the era of Tonkin and nitro musks, eaux de cologne were fleeting. Combining the edc with a mossy base kept the shape of cologne but gave it longer legs. It combined two historically unisex forms to create a perfume that suited anyone who wore it.

Eau d'Hermès laid the groundwork for the next logical hybrid, the one that would be the focus of much of his future career, the Chypre/Eau de Cologne hybrid.
