Beau Gosse 淡香水 100ml Fragonard - 38,00 €

The 100ml bottle is a solid size for the price, and that water fruit note keeps it from being too heavy for everyday wear. I've gotten a few surprise compliments at work, which never happened with my old cologne.

The citrus and bergamot opening hits bright and fresh, but it’s the watery fruit note that keeps it from feeling like every other summer scent. I sprayed it on at 8am and could still catch whiffs on my shirt after dinner, which is more than I expected from an eau de toilette.

The citrus and bergamot opening hits right away, then settles into something fresh that lasts most of my workday. For 38 euros, this 100ml bottle feels like a steal and I've already gotten three compliments wearing it.
