The scent of a French cosmetic brand, which is not very well known and widespread in our country, but we adore ardently in France. It was released in 2012 and hits on the spot with its white-flowered composition, where hydrangea and orange blossom meet coconut milk, vanilla, citrus and rose.
9. Eden (Сacharel)
A vintage fragrance from Cacharel, released in 1994. A real garden of paradise, in which citrus-fruity beginning turns into a lush floral heart, leaving a trail in the form of an eastern base. The aroma loudly sounds water lily, mimosa, patchouli, tuberose, melon, pineapple, peach.
10. La Panthère (Cartier)
Not the most common and well-known fragrance in our country, which, as it turned out, is adored in France. It was released in 2014, continuing the legacy of the brand, whose symbol is the panther. The perfume symbolizes the freedom and independence of a woman who is so appreciated by French women.
The composition is fruity-woody and very non-trivial. It features gardenia, oak moss, musk, dried fruits, rhubarb, strawberries, patchouli, leather, rose, ylang-ylang, orange blossom, anise and pear with bergamot.
