What do reviewers say about L'Eau Neuve and Le Petit Grain?
This is for someone who wants fresh without soapy, green without sharp, and woody without heavy. The lavender keeps it from going full cleanser, the herbs keep it from going full citrus.L'Eau Neuve
Some colognes smell like a fruit bowl. This one smells like the whole tree, leaves, wood, blossom, peel. Either you're into botanical honesty or you aren't. There's no hedging here.Le Petit Grain
