Françoise Hardy’s signature fragrance
If there is one perfume that accompanied Françoise Hardy at the beginning of her success in the 60s, it is Weil Eau de Fraîcheur. Among the multitude of fragrances available, the singer chose this one before becoming its muse. Indeed, when the French house wanted to highlight its olfactory creations, it turned to the Salut les Comies gang. Thus, Françoise Hardy, just like Mireille Darc, lent her features to the legendary unisex fragrance launched in 1961. On advertisements of the time, we see Françoise Hardy lying in the grass, wearing her iconic bangs and displaying her feature of fetish eyeliner.
A green floral scent
Mixing fresh citrus fruits with flowers, Eau de Fraîcheur signed by the nose Jean-Pierre Weil embodies the meeting between sweetness and bitterness.
At the heart of this bright and lively juice are bergamot, mandarin and pink pepper. The top notes feature jasmine, mimosa, rose, violet and peach blossom, while the base notes reveal musk, Virginia cedar, amber, and also vanilla. A blend that reveals a green floral accord that is most desirable for the season.
