The story behind the bottle.
Launched in 2014 by Caron, L'Eau Pure is a Citrus Aromatic fragrance that captures the essence of freshness and clarity. Perfumer Richard Fraysse crafted this scent with a bright citrus opening, featuring bergamot and lime, which gives way to aromatic coriander and nutmeg, adding an intriguing spiciness. The composition is anchored by woody notes like guaiac wood and cedar, creating a balanced warmth that contrasts beautifully with the marine saltiness of sea notes. This fragrance embodies the brand's legacy of elegance and refinement.
L'Eau Pure has a bright opening that fades quickly, so apply it in layers for lasting freshness. It works best during cooler hours of the day when its marine notes are most pronounced.
