Thanks to a lovely fragrantican for this sample. I totally echo cereza’s review below. Started much stronger and then mellowed into a lovely clean scent. To me it feels like the base of something but missING the action and drama at the top. Pleasant and inoffensive

Easy, pleasant fragrance. Little powdery, smells like soft iris fragrance. Maybe carrot tops and orris give that illusion. So if you like iris fragrances, give this a try.

Eau Trouble seems like a very ironic title for this very innocent scent.
Carrot incense blast mixed with oranges settling quietly on a soft heliotrope and buttery green tea pillow. It kinda has a newborn baby smell to be honest. Which IS weird to me.
More like ‘Eau Innocence’ I feel like in some ways this would the wrong kind of smell for me, but I like it and have not smelled anything that has been able to capture that clean/ pure smell without iris or being powdery.

What a weird little piece. It opened harsh with loads of incense and carrots, after the first blast also heliotrope was there, but it was definitely not the kind of heliotrope I am used to in fragrances. It is with no doubt very “almondy”, but the mix with incense and carrot just makes this weirdly sweet, but not bad at all.
Weirdly, but I do not get any citruses at all, nor the tea. What I am getting is a dry woody floral scent with sweetness of heliotrope. It smells extremely clean for me and I must say that even though this does smell weird, it is with no doubt very unoffensive because of the natural and clean scent it makes.
Give this a try, it would work good on both sexes, though it is a bit masculine and might suit guys better. This could be a good “go to” office scent for those who search for something different, but do not want to offend others with some weird and powerful mix.

Prada, Infusion d’Iris – this was my first thought!!! Love Prada and for sure I loved Eau Trouble, but do not need two very similar (to my nose) perfumes in my collection.

I find this to be the most masculine smelling scent of all the fumes I’ve tried from Brecourt and also the least interesting. It’s the first one where I’ve also though..hmm this smells familiar. I simply can’t put my finger on what it is.
It’s huge orange floral with a huge musk also and I find it to be quite sharp and biting. Unfortunately it’s not floating my boat, only because the other one’s I’ve tried have just been stunning.

What a fabulous fragrance!!! Brecourt is not available where I live … my bottle of Eau Trouble was gifted to me by a stunning friend from Monaco. It’s absolutely delicious :o) … tangy fruit on top quickly mellowing into a powdery woodsy melange. I definitely get incense and tea, but the cedar remains the most prominent note on me, making Eau Trouble curiously more masculine on my skin. I very seldom attach gender to fragrances, but in this case I feel it’s warranted. I’m sure it would work very well on the gals too … it’s quite a little enigma, this one. I LOVE fragrances that shapeshift on people!! Another friend of ours ( who never compliments me on my fragrance choices unless I stick my wrist under his nose LOL) turned to me at dinner and said “you smell wonderful … this should be your signature!”. Trouble is a fragrance that lives in it’s sillage, which is not huge but definitely present. Well done Brecourt :o) … a new favorite!!

So good! I never knew carrot was used by perfumers. A bit floral, a bit fruity, & a bit soapy. LOVE the tangerine and heliotrope. This is my kind of fruity-floral. I love it.

A new favourite! I just purchased this from Rome and I absolutely love it! It’s been a while since I fell in love with a perfume, but this is absolutely stunning. I own more than 100 full bottles and countless decants and samples, and this one went right to the top 5 of my all time favourite perfumes.
I can’t see any similarities with Infusion d’Iris. Eau Trouble is iris, but a lot softer and airier than Infusion d’Iris, which I find fairly sharp and unpleasant.
I get a lot of heliotrope and soft wood, and maybe even a hint of saffron, even though that’s not listed in the notes. It has pleasant powdery sweetness but it’s not a sweet scent in gourmand sense at all. I find it similar in feeling with Ormonde Jayne Ta’if which is another powdery, woody, airy floral, just change the rose in Ta’if to iris and heliotrope and you get Eau Trouble. Also, it might be a more feminine and sweet version of Dior Homme, another iris+wood+vanilla blend.
Eau Trouble lasts all day, but softens up and stays close to the skin. I wore this in hot weather while I was in Rome and it was perfect. I got back home to Finland, where the weather was chilly and rainy, and it was perfect in this weather too. My husband loves this scent too, which is fairly unusual. Just sniffing my wrists makes me happy, this is so utterly beautiful scent!

This is quite a masculine scent, especially in the drydown, and very soapy – like a warm, musky, unisex version of Bvlgari Blv.
A very well-balanced composition, and the carrrot and incense make it interesting. It’s not my cup of tea, but I’d enjoy it on others.

Eau Trouble is a fragrance that reminds me a lot of Infusion d’Iris. Initilly the incense develops in a quite similar way. Maybe because the two share a few notes, they give a similar vibe. However, Eau Trouble is flatter and soapier. There are moments when it smells a bit like those cute little scented soaps they sell in boxes of 6 or 9.
Eau Trouble is a quiet, very subtle scent. Slightly powdery and floral, it’s like a lazy Sunday afternoon. Quite charming, but if you look outside the windown, not much happens.
Not my favourite, but pleasant and delicate.
