Françoise Hardy particularly liked to perfume herself with this fresh and delicate fragrance. She wore it for a long time before becoming its muse.
Died on June 11, 2024 after years of battling several cancers, Françoise Hardy leaves behind a vast discography, a fashion icon image, inspiring beauty, a slim silhouette as well as a scent with green notes. In any case, this is what the smell of his favorite perfume reveals in the 60s.
Françoise Hardy’s signature fragrance
If there is one perfume that followed Françoise Hardy at the beginning of her success in the 60s, it is Weil Fresh Water. Faced with the multitude of fragrances available, the singer chose this one before lending her features to it. Indeed, while the French house wishes to highlight its olfactory creations, it calls on the Salut les Comies gang. Thus, Françoise Hardy, just like Mireille Darc, lends its features to the legendary unisex fragrance launched in 1961. In advertisements dating from the time, the latter appears lying in the grass, wearing her iconic bangs and wearing her favorite 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.
