Passed down treasure review #5:Eau Dynamisante
My god this smells like you’re gonna roast lamb.Very Mediterranean cuisine spice.It kinda reminds me of the Mark & Spencer Cologne that comes in a white ,square plastic bottle and a textured silver cap and a bit of Paco Rabbane Paco Rabbane.
It’s so green it smells like going through a forest filled with grown fir trees after the rain.You are walking through that forest with your head facing above the sky,looking at the sun.
As much as I love it,I just need to find myself the courage to wear men’s perfume.I’m a guy but I’m just not used to wearing men’s fragrances.But this is just amazing.
Max-77 – :
Not a typical chypre to me it’s very aromatic. Had many bottles when I was in high school (and I just finished one). This scent is well blended, fresh and herbal without smelling “too natural”. Do test on your skin though, mine amplifies this scent so I’ve always had to watch how much I use. Was probably a bit much for a teen but I didn’t care I thought it was fabulous (and still do).
rooportuart – :
I tried this today and really LOVE it.
It’s so clean and natural, like I just have a good shower and applied aromatic herb essence or oils.
It’s something I could wear for yoga, sports or just bed,
It’s a comforting herbs floral scent.
A definite staple to have in my wardrobe
23/9/18
I got it last week. It’s a very natural uplifting cheerful scent, doesn’t smell like perfume.
Just a natural aromatic splash which I love to spritz on my hair or after shower.
bikchurinafk – :
Tried it today. Very ChanelCristalle-like. Beautiful old-fashioned chypre. Love it!
Mazda2010 – :
Cypre buuut a fresh one.
I remember this parfum so many years ago…
Good for relaxing and meditation.
Will refresh your soul for sure!!

koliacloud – :
Beautiful light chypre fragrance!. I love to mix mit with the Guerlain’s Vetiver, simply gorgeous!!!
tarakan999 – :
Love this fragrance when I just want to feel herbally fresh and spa-like. This feels very 70’s chypre spa to me, whatever that means. It’s very light and the sillage is weak but longevity is surprisingly long lasting in a very personal way. I have asked others to smell this and they have to get very close to detect it, but I can smell it and I love it.
KaniaAccisa – :
I tried Eau Dynamisante on a couple of freakishly warm days this month and got a very herbal, soapy masculine scent that put me in mind of a men’s grooming product. It was far too simple to be a men’s cologne. I was dissatisfied and imagining a swap, but I decided to give it another go on this damp, wintry day. It is vastly improved by 40°F weather. The soapiness is greatly reduced. The herbs are accompanied by citrus and subtle spices. This was a nice little lift to my spirits on a gloomy day.
po3plyhi – :
I found this water has the right spiciness for light scent. A light happy spicy fragrance. It has initial citrus burst that evaporates rather quickly, leaving a faint ginger and exotic spices lingers. There is no way to go wrong with this, as projection is close to skin. Good for hot day, it wont suffocate the wearer. A like vote!!!
Stalker143 – :
@suzzel but can you recommend us any fragrances that you know that has that dominant naturalistic, herby/spicy scent?
aronceagone – :
I used to wear this years ago but now a days I feel Dynamisante is lacking something. have they removed an ingredient? It used to be sharp and fresh and now it smells like Old Spice. The shower gel still has the va va boom ! Please reformulate again Clarins.
sasha_ig – :
To my (perfume-noob) nose, all I really get here is generic aftershave-smell.
If I concentrate I do get rosemary, but the overall smell isn’t one I associate with real-life herbs or spices. A long time ago I sometimes did massage treatments with a bunch of different essential oils from herbs (rosemary, thyme, marjoram), and I expected this to be more like I remember that. I don’t get spices like cardamom or ginger either though. And weirdly I also barely get any citrus. Mostly just that note/accord that always just reads “aftershave” to me.
I will say I just had a similar experience with O de Lancome, except that one hit me as *extremely* aftershave, middle aged south European businessman-level. So it might kinda be me, the way I interpret these “aromatic” accords. (Or my minibottle of O may be fake – have to try it in a store soon. I was really surprised by that one!)
I don’t know, many scents grow on me after a while and this might happen here too. Gonna try it when its hotter too. But if you’re looking for a refreshing or “naturalistic” scent and don’t have a ton of experience with fragrances, definitely don’t blindbuy this.
PS. Eau des Jardins is very different. To me it’s more “naturalistic”, it’s also definitely sweeter and fruitier than this, and has a lovely light light note of blackcurrant bud. But to me it kinda lacks… some bite I guess? If you’re looking for refreshing pleasantness it may be a safer bet than this.
Emporio – :
Given the price and the quality of Eau Dynamisante (no way of knowing how ‘natural’ it actually is, but the impression is very natural), I’m not too sorry I got it, but neither can I recommend it.
That is, I can’t recommend it if you’re a woman. On my husband it smells nice enough and gives him an air of classical, somewhat conservative masculinity. On me, it’s a disaster, and not because I’m such a girly girl I can’t handle unisex scents. I don’t mind feeling like a gender-neutral being or even like a cheeky young guy, but Eau Dynamisante makes me feel like I’m channeling someone’s aged uncle who got stuck in the disco era, complete with hairy chest, unbuttoned shirt, and a gold chain. I guess what I’m saying is, I find it both *very* masculine and very dated.
It also doesn’t have the invigorating effect I expected. Unlike other ‘treatment’ fragrances I’ve known (e.g. the discontinued Eau Svelte by Dior or any of the current Collistar body mists), it strikes me as oddly somber and unsmiling.
To my nose, the most prominent note is cardamom. As soon as the citruses disperse, that’s what dominates till the end. Rosemary (which I hoped there’d be more of) I can’t detect at all.
alex020806 – :
What I will say resemble what a lot of you said in your mind: I’m still avoiding re-repurchasing it, and feel hesitant when think of using it and insert it in my routine again, the reason is when I was a teen, Clarins was THE biggest hit in “beauty” and “well-being”. Their ads filled all the magazines with a beautiful dream-like, unrealistic healthy, gorgeous, happy people who seems to have the best “life-style” ever….I was purchasing all that and all bath line of this perfume was a treasure, and a perfume that has an “anti-aging+firming” properties was a pioneer by all means… honestly, the smell is out of this world, relaxing and classy and chic..plus I was a careless kid and life felt caramelized. Now whenever I smell Eau Dynamisante, all that comes back, but something inside me resist it!!! HELP
Edit: Finally I re-purchased it, today I got 2 bottles of the 100ml ! They are spray but can be un-screwed and used as a SPLASH…this made me purchase 2, I love to pour the liquid in my palms. more edits later.
Edit: It used to last longer, and I find it lighter! Maybe I will need more time to get used to the smell again in order to smell it as I used to!? I don’t know. I found a 15ml sample splash empty bottle from years ago, tucked in the back of my drower… I’m gonna re-fill it again and take it with me everywhere.
romanr1984 – :
Lovely smooth herbal mix.Citrus seems to turn soapy on me easily but in this I don’t mind because it is so velvetty smooth anyhow. It has a slight spicyness that recalls ginger, geranium, and maybe coriander seeds but not in an overwhelming or gourmand way, rather the hug of a warm wind from the south. Very unisex, veering slightly masculine because of the citrus soap probably.One to wear for those of us who are easily disturbed by aromachemicals, therefore also crowd safe.
pikins – :
This is a rejuvenating fragrance! It does though smell more on the masculine side..It’s invigorating for any time of the day and any season of the year. I hope also that the body oil will return soon..
Scream3028 – :
Refreshing and rejuvenating fragrance which awakes the senses immediately. The only downfall on this is that its satin finish body oil is discontinued….WHY???
Clarins HAS GOT to make a BODY OIL to match each of the treatment fragrances!!!!!!
Azik – :
Fades very quickly on me – in 25 degrees yesterday it was gone inside minutes. But nice, clean, citrussy and refreshing. Herbal in what passes for the drydown. I can’t wear this as a fragrance, though, as it’s all over too quickly – for me, it makes a better room freshener or kept in the car as a pick-me-up on hot days. Very cheap, so it’s fine to splash it around a bit.
ViruSoN – :
This is the only bottle I never stop wearing since I was eighteen! I probably bought at least ten bottles! I have bought and worn and loved many other perfumes, Goutal and Lutens and all, but this is my true love. This is what I wear when everything else seems wrong. I don’t even think of this as a fragrance, although it smells sooo good. It just smells perfect and when I wear it I feel it’s my own odor. I have a very fine nose but in this case I can’t even smell the different components, it’s very well blended, totally unisex, a perfect balance of herbs and citrus and spices, I don’t even know what it smells, it just smells like my life!
Donimusuuu – :
This is my favourite of the Clarins treatment scents. Opens with a burst of citrus and coriander before revealing a hint of floral (I’m not really getting the carnation but cannot pinpoint a different floral note) which is boosted with cardamom before it settles down into a warm spicy skin scent. To me, this is a very pleasant autumn day fragrance to be sprayed liberally on skin and fabric for long walks in the park while you watch nature prepare for winter.
niusha83 – :
This is my go to summer fragrance. It’s cooling fresh citrus note is the perfect foil for 30+ degrees centigrade and it is underpinned by a subtle but lingering aromatic that makes it last throughout the day.
sergeiy1974 – :
I’m lucky to test out Eau Dynamisante thanks to a very generous sample from my friend miss mils. Thanks!
Eau Dynamisante is aptly described as a ‘treatment fragrance’ – it plays the same role as traditional Eaux de Cologne, which were splashed on to revive, invigorate, or distract from headaches. The notes are similar to traditional colognes, too – citrus at top, a healthy dose of Provencal herbs and cooking spices, and very little by way of a base. I agree with the reviewer below that hedione is likely present, too – that would help to explain its slightly improved longevity over traditional colognes, as well as its fleeting similarity to the opening of Eau Sauvage.
Eau Dynamisante is definitely unisex, but its heavy-handed spiciness – cardamom, coriander and caraway, along with spicy carnation – makes it feel more masculine to me. Performance is better than a cologne, but it’s definitely not an all-day EDT. Overall, it’s a very pleasant, well-rounded herbal-citrus scent. I don’t have any need for this in my wardrobe – I have Eau de Guerlain as a pick-me-up scent, and the incomparably gorgeous Eau Sauvage as an all-day citrus aromatic. But if you’re after cologne-like freshness with better than average performance, Eau Dynamisante may well be what you’re looking for.
Andrew29rus – :
when I thought about scented deodorant, this came to my mind straight away, the scent is perfectly unisex, i love to use this scent on exam days, or when I am wearing black clothes, to layer the body lotion on the fragrance or the deodorant is great, the outcome will be more sophisticated. pure enjoyment~
swssnif – :
I must have worn this for thirty years and am clearly addicted to it! It smells like the Mediterranean Maquis without any harsh, medicinal notes. It is warm orange, thyme flowers with the sun on them and patchouli (in the softest, least old hippy burning incense sticks kind of way). However, nobody has EVER commented on how nice I smell which means it is an entirely personal love affair. Nothing wrong with that, but I would SO love to find a similar fragrance that actually communicated itself to other people on me (never mind lasted). I’ve tried Eau de Bienfaits and it is totally one-dimensional. Any suggestions?
Xeroxeloea – :
Just a short note on this unisex warming but refreshing classic aroma- summer time a must!
Smells so nice and works as a bug repellent- mosquitoes beware!
Rozumashka – :
4.5/5 A classic perfect for summer and memories
severok29 – :
This might be a bit off putting at initial spray, but in seconds it quickly melt into a fresh, uplifting, optimistic, citrusy, herbaceous fragrance! I just want to breathe it in. Definitely unisex. It kind of mimics men’s fragrance I suppose, perhaps due to the woody, aftershave-y, cologne-y quality that are mostly present in men’s fragrances. To my surprise, I love this fragrance more than what I had expected.I’m picking up ‘a herbaceous but really good smelling cola’ scent. However the staying power is not so good. You can still smell it after 30 minutes, but very faint. This is the kind of perfume that’s safe no matter how much you spray it, because it does evaporate quickly. I don’t mind respraying this baby though.
160976 – :
A really dinamic, optimistic, tonic and strong eau de cologne and, in the Eau de Campagne by Sisley … On me -at first- is citrical: sparking lemon and lime, herbal and fresh air … then become to green and little bitter citric and misty, in the end may be a bit dry and deffinitely so E.d.C. by Sisley (and in my skin E.D. by Clarins is longer) … In my country it has a great price!
Xeroxwspun – :
another refreshing cooling natural type of cologne that truly helped me take the summer heat ..it is a more citrusy peppery old school type of cologne that can easily be a unisex ..it is refined it is intrinsic it is very confident very strong in its own way it is a pungent almost astringent empowering refreshing cologne that talks to you i layer it with the lagardin one to sweeten it up a abit it is a great morning perfume it is very clean very refreshing extremely potent in a simple intrinsic way ..it reminds me of some of my dads colognes..which i like
it leaves a fresh after shower smell it smells like bright alive super refreshing ..hmm i dont know what to call them they are just clean almost soapy bubbly vibrant molecules ..it turns a citrus y in a mellow way but maybe thats my skin it doesn’t give me headaches its actually an anti naucious type of scent that helps take away nausea or feeling queasy..
it is def part of the aromatherapy line it does deilver the feeling of being energetic and vibrant it delivers what it promises..perfect for going to the gym or to a spa or for meditating..its even perfect for those who work in the medical field or in schools it just lingers close to the skin and i really think it helps in concentration and in enhancing mood and vitality ..its even great for young perfume weares specially the other 3 in the line like the lagardin and the blue and orange ones they are perfect to use for schools or inn the morning non offensive almost natural perfumes that help refine mental abilities and enhance general mood..
Jenifer20 – :
My mother always wore this when I was a child and at the time I remember hating it. I remember thinking it smelled masculine and peppery but nowadays I can just smell clean citrus and patchouli. Though I hated it growing up I have a romanticized view of it now – picturing it along with my mother’s Laura Ashley floral dresses and the kind of summer sunshine that seems so much brighter in your memory of childhood.
I love its almost savoury notes – it’s extremely confident yet demure. A very sophisticated scent.
Zaur-moris – :
This is a kitchen fresh aromatic fragrance. Nice lemony scent that doesn’t smell like kitchen cleaner. When I say kitchen fresh, I mean that it smells like herbs and lemons, like you would find in a clean kitchen that smelled naturally fresh, with rosemary etc. and not necessarily chemically sanitized. I like it. I’m not crazy about it, but it’s definitely energizing and refreshing.
Ильюшка95 – :
This gem has stood the test of time as a reliable companion especially in warmer weather or just about anytime.
The blend of lemon, orange, cilantro, caraway, thyme, rosemary, ginger and a quiet but present note of patchouli has no typical ‘bitter’ masculine notes at all, so you can dismiss the unisex profile, as far as I´m concerned.
It´s impossible to get through summer without it!
Clarins is also a french quality brand, so to splurge out on a matching Eau Dynamisante bodylotion will enhance and prolong the scent and give your skin a real treat.
This composition actually has the ability to exhilarate and lift the spirits and is surely unsurpassed as a wonderfully refreshing, invigorating and vitalizing bodyscent. Not only does it ‘bring on the sunshine’ – you will have a garden with fine spices and herbs, scented wood and a selected greenery to follow.
The warmer notes of thyme, rosemary and ginger add a lot of surprising depth so don´t dismiss this as a pure citrus cologne.
It´s far more complex than that.
This could actually be that desert island must-have.
Sensual, romantically feminine, sexy or seductive? – No.
Uniquely exhilarating, distinctive, deeply aromatic, vibrant citrusy and multifaceted – Yes!
version147 – :
As a kid back in the late 80s I flew with Air France to Paris on holiday and I remember the cabin crew had such a nice perfume on. It embodied French chic in my mind. Years and years later I discovered this Clarins perfume and I am pretty sure this is what they were using on board. So for me this is full of memories and Europeam fantasy. Love it
Neongeneistag – :
I’ve used this for years for the occasional times when I wanted something clean and fresh. Wifey introduced me to it when she worked behind the Clarins counter years ago. I spray it directly in each armpit to keep me from getting too stinky at work. 6 or 7 sprays will last all day–2 or 3 will last a few hours. And it’s not overpowering–I don’t always like to draw attention to myself. I also spray it 2 – 3 times in the crotch to keep jock itch away in the summer. Maybe that’s what they mean by treatment fragrance.
levko1 – :
Beautiful! Opens citrusy,lemons… dry down’s my favourite, nice patchouli and herbs.Its soothing, refreshing, uplifting. Husband and I were browsing at a department store and I was like “hey look lets see what Freddie Mercury smelled like” It was instant love. I first sprayed on paper and had to go back and spray on my skin, we both ended up loving it. Surprisingly, the drydown lasts a good 4-5 hrs on me, quite impressive. It does wear close to the skin, not much projection and thats okay, cause its one of those that’s meant to please and comfort the person wearing it. Way far from being a statement type of scent. It is what it is and it rocks at it 😉
fuad2003 – :
Clean, yummy and a great non floral for summer. The perfect fresh crisp pick- me- up scent.
KI2007RILL – :
How can anyone NOT like this?
This is the female version of Old Spice.
Years ago, when I was little, I thought that all clean, freshly showered, freshly shaved men smelt of Old Spice. I thought that this smell was the natural ‘default’ setting of men in general.
This olfactory impression carried on into adulthood.
That ‘just stepped out of the shower, but used too much (old fashioned bar soap) and haven’t washed all the soap off’ freshness!
Not a sterile, clean smell, but an extremely soapy, just-washed smell.
Eau Dynamisante has that same theme going on – in a ‘slightly’ more feminised way. But a man could easily wear it as well.
It’s not sexy in an overly sweet/vanilla way, but it’s sexy all the same. This perfume manages to take ‘clean’ and make it sexy and exciting.
My OH goes nuts for this on me.
Don’t judge this perfume by smelling it straight from the bottle. (it will burn your sinuses and some)
Have a shower. Spray it on your skin. Leave it a while. Let it warm up. The magic begins.
ExStRemaL – :
I’m not a fan. Too unisex for me. I want something more feminine. Fresh maybe, but missing something that makes me want for more…flowers.
Евгений231273 – :
Wonderful refreshing cologne, with just the right amount of spices, lemons and woods.
I love it in summer, after a shower when I stay home and do not get perfumed to go out. It allows me to use some perfume later as it’s so soft that won’t interfere with what you are going to use.
Reviewer Marymargret suggested to layer it with Diorella, I agree, Eau Dynamisante is perfect to be layered and not only with citrus scents.
True, it’s not long lasting at all, kind of 4711, but this is how fresh colognes are meant to be.
I love using it for frictions on my skin on a hot day, after a shower instead of cream in summer so you do not get sticky and whenever I feel like I need some invigorating fragrance to cheer me up.
Not much distant in its concept from Eau Svelte by Dior which, if I’m not mistaken, was the first all-body cologne (yes, maybe not the first, Jean Naté came years before).
Oh well.
VERY BEAUTIFUL
geymer – :
Bought this on the recommendation of a friend, but sadly it doesn’t last on me at all
Think I will gift it to my friend. Disappointing
exhicyclexuri – :
Excellent alone and great when layered with Diorella, adding depth and complexity to this unhappily, too much reformulated, once free-spirited Monsieur Dior’s creation.
7888-bars – :
Just like Penny Urn’d I find Eau Dynamisante very relaxing in contrary to what its name suggests. Often I put this on after a bath in the evening and it lingers on untill the next morning. Has a Zen vibe to it.
daimond108 – :
Freddie Mercury´s fragrance…
sinioritaolya – :
Our tastes are all very different, and that’s what makes perfume such an interesting topic. I find Clarins Eau Dynamisante a very safe fragrance. I’d describe it as the perfume of choice for women who really prefer not to wear any fragrance at all, in fact, women who are scared of anyone noticing that they’ve sprayed perfume on! The only two women I know who wear this are (1) a lady vicar and (2) a lady who goes on cruises and whose most outrageous piece of jewellery is a string of fake pearls. No offence to any lovers of this perfume. This is only one opinion. Also no offence to wearers of fake pearls. Those have their place in every wardrobe, including mine. I’m just trying to make a point but waffling terribly. Bye.
QUIGOTOINUE – :
I found a small bottle of this. I normally don’t like fresh scents but this one sounded interesting and I like chypres.
This is more than just fresh, it’s also spicy. Warm spicy to be exact. Very unique to find a fragrance that’s both fresh and warm. I think this would be amazing on a summer day! A big ‘like’
hadim – :
An old favourite, timeless classic, one to wear anywhere and anytime but especially in the summer and especially to travel, and especially at the airport / on the plane!
Or maybe that’s just me 🙂
Love layering with the shower and body products and also love to use this as a room / linen spray.
Trormakicmisa – :
I love this perfume. As somebody else said, it is one I keep going back to over and over again. I love its fresh, clean, sharp, sweet, and sensual scent. It’s what I spray when I need refreshing and revitalising after a hard night drinking lol, or when I am not in the mood for deep, dark and mysterious. A very clear uplifting scent. I have had the same bottle for the past 10 years displayed on my dresser but away from direct light, it has lasted extremely well in its classic yet simple dark red glass bottle.
aigyl7384 – :
I had this one last year and now I placed an order on Strawberrynet for Eau Dynamisante Body Coffret, whichis 34% off these days. I tried the body lotion before, but thought that shower gel, shampoo and conditioner plus few extra products, sounds good!
bagmet.vasya1012 – :
One of my favorite unisex fragrances!
Light, fresh, uplifting, aromatic. I use now the bottle bought from strawberry since 1 year ago and the smell is the same.
A perfect accessory for work. Not too strong, makes you full of energy and headache is gone quickly.
Typical day sent, can be used all year.
When I wonder too much which perfume to chose it is the perfect solution:)
SalamonSmit – :
This stuff is so good. If it was packaged differently it would be a huge favourite, I reckon.
The presentation is healthy/sporty/no-nonsense – all the kinds of ideas I instinctively avoid in a fragrance.
The juice, though, is a very beautiful and sophisticated chypre. It reminds me a little of Azuree, but with less in-your-face strength. Azuree does tend to shout, while Eau Dynammisante talks in an low, charming voice. Personally I don’t see it as masculine at all, but then I don’t necessarily associate sweetness or florals with femininity.
These fragrances make me think of summer and the mediterranean. Citrus fruit, herbs, sunshine, a fresh breeze. What could be lovelier?

Does anyone know if this fragrance has been updated? The Clarins website lists that there is a note of white tea and includes aloe vera, as in the 25th Anniversary ‘Eau De Couer’ edition, but it doesn’t list the white tea note or aloe vera on this page?
I don’t think it smells too masculine, though very herbal. To me, it smells very much like walking into a Lush store, with all the essential oils and herbal smells. Lovely.
koketka83x – :
This is a classic – a great fresh, lemony, herbal scent for everyday. I’ve had this on and off for years and I never get sick of it. But I still can’t pronounce the name properly!
dimaaasex91 – :
Have used this off and on for years until five years ago when i discovered it had another purpose. I Love the fragrance as it reminds me of when I first met my husband. and it is a great Mozzi repellant. On holiday I love to use the foaming mouse, body lotion and spray – I feel really pampered when use it. I also take small bottle out with me for tops ups in cse any of my little friends are buzzing about. So no bites and I smell and feel wonderful. Yes it doesn’t last very long but it isn’t a hugely expensive perfume.
Nikolyaseg – :
Clean, fresh, fun and uplifting. An everyday fragrance that really does make you feel good. Sweet and sharp, perfect harmony. Very slightly like a sweet aftershave but still a perfume. Really enjoy wearing this.
gagauz76 – :
I feel this is probably the quintessential unisex fragrance, with some lovely ‘feel good’ properties. Not something that makes me want to take on the World when I wear it – more like hide away, put cucumbers on my eyes and rest up for a bit 🙂
Nice to have in the fragrance wardrobe, but not something I would rush out to buy if my budget was limited. I also noticed the sillage was very low, and the longevity weak. Certainly no-one other than myself would ever have known I was wearing it!
auditt – :
So glad that Clairns made the best out of this amazing fragrance -> shower mousse and body lotion, they are so awakening for all seasons!
Love
Aerohopleneriaid – :
I went through a phase of liking this fragrance a few years ago, I found it light and refreshing. However, after a bottle or two, it reminded me of men’s aftershave. Its more suitable as a room fragrance in my opinion, it smells like an expensive spa!
I much prefer Clarins des Jardins, which is a summery floral scent, its more feminine.
Devilluck – :
The perfect pre/post-flight refresher/tonic. Calms and uplifts before departure and temporarily banishes fatigue and freshens stale clothes & hair upon arrival.
Slavik92 – :
Upon first sniff: is this a men’s cologne/aftershave? It might as well be! Unlike other invigorating aromatic sprays (Aroma Tonic, Eau Svelte etc) Eau Dynamisante feels way too citrus-chypre-aromatic, and ends up too masculine for my taste. It sure has an invigorating effect, but I would have preferred it with a few feminine notes added to its composition. Not for me, thankfully I didn’t blind buy a whole bottle off eBay as they can be found for really cheap.
lorens89 – :
I agree with the post below, not only is it masculine, it’s aftershave-like in a generic way that recalls Brut!
I offered it to my male friend who declined on the grounds it was ‘too aftershavey’.
It is dynamic though, maybe if you want to wake yourself up, go for a jog and jump up and down for no particular reason it’ll be just the ticket. It’s very dry-woody and sharp herbal.
Snap388 – :
I have a very strange relationship with Eau Dynamisante. I find the 1st hour to be very masculine on my skin, reminds me of a classic aftershave lotion. The dry down on the other hand it just perfect! It is greens and spices on my skin! I love it. Quite a dilemma this is!
men123 – :
The carnation totally spoils this for me, what a shame, would be absolutely perfect without it.
punaizer – :
Shame this wasn’t a little stronger but it’s simply a gorgeous citrus.
Пас – :
An utterly beautiful masculine-biased unisex fragrance that is marred by exceptionally short longevity. I would say the concentration is below eau de cologne…the Macy’s counter person said that she uses it as a hand sanitizer!!! If you look at the Clarins website, Eau Dynamisante accomplishes what it sets out to do—a revitalizing, invigorating spray that promotes a feeling of wellbeing. I can vouch that you’ll certainly feel fresh.
If you want increased longevity and you like oranges more than lemons, I heartily recommend Hermes Concentre d`Orange Verte. Concentre can actually last all day with the right moisturizer on your skin—you’ll get even better performance by spraying on your clothing too.
**************** Amendment *************
Hermes’s Concentré de Pamplemousse Rose is even closer to Eau Dynamisante. Accords are more prominent—3D—in Pamplemousse than in Eau Dynamisante and therefore much more enjoyable. Hermes costs more money but you’ll make up for it in fabulous sillage and longevity.
*********************************************
But back to Eau Dynamisante—its beautiful, but way to short lived. 4711 lasts about as long.
Enjoy 🙂
algis1 – :
I need to buy a bottle of Eau Dynamisante as I keep ‘borrowing’ it off my sister! This is the perfect unisex scent as I love wearing it but would also love to smell this on a man. I’m a big fan of Lush and to me Eau Dynamisante belongs in the same vein as Lush scents like the Olive Branch and Karma.
