Dior Eau Fraîche

Dior Eau Fraîche (2012) is a chypre floral built on an unusually bright, green opening: citruses and bergamot sit alongside a pronounced galbanum, giving the top a bitter, sappy edge rather than a sweet one. That galbanum is the tell for collectors — it dates the composition to a classical chypre sensibility, and it is what separates this from the sweeter, fruitier flankers of the same era. The heart turns to jasmine and gardenia, white florals that read creamy and slightly waxy against the green top.

The listed base is unspecified, but the accord profile points clearly toward patchouli and woods underneath — a dry, mossy-adjacent foundation that keeps the florals from turning soapy. Citrus dominates at 100%, with white floral close behind and patchouli at 77%, so expect a fresh opening that settles into something earthier and more textured within the first hour. It suits collectors who want a green chypre for warm weather, and anyone who appreciates galbanum-forward classics. Best worn in spring and summer daytime; the green bitterness may read sharp to those expecting a soft floral.

Dior Eau Fraîche（2012）屬西普花香調，開場以柑橘與佛手柑為主，但真正定調的是白松香——帶苦澀、青綠的樹脂感，令前調唔會甜，反而有古典西普嘅骨架。中調轉為茉莉與梔子，白花呈現忌廉狀、略帶蠟質，同上面嘅青綠形成對比。官方無列基調，但從主香調比例（柑橘100%、白花94%、廣藿香77%、木質61%）可見，底層應以廣藿香同木質收尾，乾爽、帶苔感，令花香唔會變皂感。

氣質上偏向清爽而帶點嚴肅嘅綠西普，唔屬於甜美路線。適合鍾意白松香、追求老派西普結構嘅收藏者，亦適合春夏白天使用。若你期待柔和甜花香，可能會覺得前調偏尖銳；但喜歡青綠、微苦、有質感嘅香水，這支值得一試。
