About This Perfume
Think fresh citrus rose sachet, lightly sweet: that is Yves Rocher Rose Fraiche. It opens with bergamot, grapefruit and mandarin orange, moves into rose and fruity notes and settles on woody notes and Tonkin musk. It leans feminine, though anyone can wear it.
This eau de toilette is best in spring and summer and is a daytime scent. Reach for it for casual days and the office. Released in 2012.
In the community's experience it fades within a few hours, and stays close to the skin. Plan to reapply on a long day.
Is it right for you?
- Best for: anyone after something fresh and uplifting for casual days.
- Sample first if: fresh is new territory for you.
- Skip if: you want one spray to last all day.
