EAU FRAÎCHE is the most delicate and ethereal category of fragrance, often containing a mere 1% to 3% of perfume oil. While it shares a similar low concentration with Eau de Cologne, the key difference lies in the base: Eau Fraîche is primarily composed of water rather than high-volume alcohol. This makes it an excellent choice for those with sensitive skin or for use in intense heat, as it provides a cooling, hydrating mist without a sharp alcoholic "sting." Its scent profile is typically airy and uncomplicated—think crisp linens, rain, or light florals—offering a subtle, "barely-there" freshness that lasts for about an hour.
