The story behind the bottle.
Launched in 2001, L'Eau Cheap and Chic by Moschino is a Floral Aldehyde fragrance crafted by Ilias Ermenidis. This composition opens with the brightness of citrus and gooseberry, which quickly gives way to the soft spiciness of anise and the sweetness of heliotrope and ambergris. The heart notes of lily, freesia, and rose create a delicate floral bouquet that is both fresh and warm, while vetiver adds a subtle earthy undertone.
Apply one to two sprays in well-ventilated areas, as the citrus and fruity top notes are bright but fleeting. The floral heart and warm base will linger close to your skin for a soft, elegant presence throughout the day.
