Fraiche Badiane is quite unique and polarizing. The exquisite star anise is the main player for sure. The term fresh is not so literal here because of the aromatic facets of the anise and basil. The base could be a bit heftier in my opinion. It toes the line between patchouli and musk whereas I wish it leasned more toward patchouli. FB can be worn in any weather except very hot and humid. It may be a little too complex for daytime but would make an excellent evening fragrance.

Perhaps the name, Fraiche Badiane, says it all.
Notice the dreaded word: Fresh.
FB reminds me of citrus dish detergent.
Projection: Poor
Longevity: Poor
Overall: 1.5/5

I got a sample today. On my skin it is like Eau Sauvage, but a little bit spicier with very noticable tangerine and anise. After 30 minutes it settles down and stays close to my skin. Nothing extraordinary if you know Sauvage and it’s stronger brother Extreme, but anyway test it cause on your skin it could be different. You can feel the quality of the ingredients but it does not last long on my skin, just like Sauvage. In Poland 100 ml costs around 100 euros, too much for this kind of scent. But still I like it 😉

MPG FRAICHE BADIANE opens brightly but the anise makes this not just another citrus aromatic. I have to say, though, that I find the Creed water-like base the most dominant of the notes. I have applied FB a few times, and each time I am reminded of various Creed water offerings. I am not saying that FB is identical to anything in the Creed line, but very similar, at least in the drydown, to a few (some of them have “water” in their name…).
Because of the base, FRAICHE BADIANE has good staying power, but it does not really smell like a patchouli-based perfume to me. Nonetheless, I like this citrus composition and would consider adding it to my collection. Definitely universal, not just for men!
