Description
The house of Dior has rightfully held one of the first places in the world of perfumes for years. Dior’s collection Les Creations de Monsieur Dior introduced in 2009 represents a review of vintage editions. The collection includes 5 perfumes – 5 classic fragrances favorized by many women worldwide.
Diorella, Dioressence, Diorissimo, Eau Fraiche Forever and Ever make the five fragrances of the Les Creations de Monsieur Dior collection, presented as timeless opus of Dior which resists time and new trends.
Les Creations de Monsieur Dior Eau Fraiche Eau de Toilette is a fresh chypre fragrance which focuses on agrums from Sicily and Calabrian, leaving an elegant impression of the composition and creating a classic, elegant blend. The fragrance is available as 50 and 100ml EDT.
The original fragrance Eau Fraiche was launched in 1953 and its perfumer is Edmond Roudnitska. This refreshing composition includes citruses (lemon and bergamot), wood (rosewood, vetiver) and oak moss in a base.

This difficult to find EDT is a little confronting at first blast. Whoah…deep sludge green from the bottom of the swamp. If you don’t like patchouli, avoid Eau Fraiche like the plague. Or like the Swamp Thang. BUT, for those of you like me who do like patchouli (and oak moss and vetiver and other grungy notes), please give this one time to develop. Within an hour I was smelling soft waves of mint – possibly from the patchouli – and rose from the rosewood and Petitgrain, which make this a far more rounded fragrance than the notes listed above suggest. Eau Fraiche really grew on me, so much so that my shopping companion today told me to stop sniffing myself in public. I’m sure you have all done the same thing. Haven’t you? Please say yes. Anyway, I digress. If you can actually find Eau Fraiche in the first place, I recommend giving it a trial on skin, then being patient. It’s worth the wait.

I’ve tried this several times and every time I’m blown away by the initial citrus opening and beautiful tea filled dry down.
I first tried this in a very beautiful perfumery where they had vintage bottles in display windows and current perfumes for sale. This one I kept coming back to, despite the rude sales assistant. I’ve not yet purchased it because its currently out of my price range but I’d love to own this one day.
It may be ‘Eau Fraiche’ but it lasts so long and does so much more than the name suggests. Great on top of Elizabeth Arden’s Green Tea

lemon, lime, orange, mandarin and minty cooling notes on top, soft soapy patchouli mossy notes at the back. Classic chypre cologne type.
AngelatoR – :
Very fresh, citrusy, green, a little old fash but nice daytime splash.

Eau Fraiche happens to be an excellent choice for someone looking for an extraordinarily classy, understated and long lasting cologne. A chypre base takes off a prodigiously tuned and deceptively simple citrus composition by the great Edmond Roudnitska. The mandarin gives a sweeter vibe while lemon and moss dominate. The latter becomes present from the first sniff and persists until the fragrance evaporates completely. Unisex for sure. Extremely underrated. Top notch stuff.
lobzik – :
I do not like this scent at all. Too sharp and masculine for me. It’s all because of patchouli. Most part of prominent patchouli in flagrancies goes wrong with me.
I adore forever and ever but do not like at all Eau Fraiche.
Is in my dislike category.
