Versace Man Eau Fraiche Versace for men

wonderfuuul

nice fresh aquatic similar to aqua di gio and has some warmth from the woodsy notes and it is a good all round fresh inoffensive frag but i prefer Versace Dreamer over this i feel this is too much of a trend follower

This one is a winner! To me, this breaks up the "Aquatic" manotony. This leaves a wicked scent trail, and compliments abound. Reacts with heat, so best in Summer. Can be an all Season fragrance, but lacks gusto in Winter. On my skin it projects a good 6hrs, and can still smell the dry-down 24hrs later!
versatility; 8 out of 10
projection; 10 out of 10
sillage; 9 out of 10
compliments; 8 out of 10
overall 8.5 out of 10
simular frag; Antonio Banderas blue seduction, D&G light blue for woman, Paco Rabanne black xs, and the dry-down of Armani code sport.

It's such a delicate and fresh scent. But at the same time it's very sexy. It inivtes to keep smelling it.
I loove when muy boyfriend uses it!

This is clean and fresh. Reminds me of Dolce Light Blue which I have and love. Great for a Summer strole in Italy wearing white :)

Hands down panty dropper. Women love this tuf and maybe cus it does smell like light blue for women idk but i get so many compliments with this one and it leaves a trial for miilleeesss!! Not ur typical aquatic it hink.. Great stuff!! And for the price cant beat tit..

One of the best summer fragrances. It has both citrus and amber notes.

Where is the carambola fruit?

bom perfume,mas somente. a fragancia é bem similar ao light blue pra mulheres,depois de 1 hora aplicada ela fica muito rente a pele,ate fixa bem...mas deixa a desejar.

A stunning, ice-lemon scent which adds a new dimension to a market flooded with lemony citrus style scents..

I applied 6 heavy sprays

0-5 mins - Nothing. What is this? Houdini or the Invisible Man?

5 mins - 3.5 hours. 1 foot of good projection. Here we go, WOW! OMG! Imagine a lemon tree frozen in Siberia, and all the yellow branches are wafer thin and crisp and have lemon infused icicles dripping chilled filtered fragrance into a cool blue bottle... It is so wonderful and fresh, it takes my breath away.. I start to think if this is complex and I literally said to myself, stop thinking and just enjoy this wonderful ice-lemon scent and take it for what it is; something so laid back and beautiful, that it needs to be enjoyed and breathed in...

3.5 hours - 5 Hours - 2 Inch projection, even more chilled

5- 8 hours - Close to skin, lovely and cool. Please don't go..

In my experience, you will need to apply a minimum of 6 heavy sprays. 2 sprays will not give you the benefits.

Some of this hit my clothes and it lasts to the next day.

A work of art!

Quality

Start note is a beautifull strong sweet citrus. Then fruity notes start to coming up also with a hint of floral. Just beautifull.

Then maybe 1-2hours later the citrus notes starting to fade leaving you with this strong floral scent with some fruityness. I usually like those sweet notes but this just too much with so much floral scent in it.

Try and wait for a while to figure out can you stand those middle notes.

Great strong citrus fragrance.

Starts off very fresh and very very lemony with a bit of apple that people have mentioned. If you like lemon, this will make you happy.

The citrus smell won't go away but it takes a seat and allows a bit of wood and spice to gently take centre stage as well.

I am happy with longetivity and projection. It is not the strongest fragrance in my collection, but for the price, smell and bottle design, it had to be purchased :)

My bottle is empty but I really want another bottle in the next size up this time:) After buying this online on a whim about a year ago I was surprised to find it in stores recently. I was kind of sad when I saw it sitting near Aqua Di Gio because I feel this scent is so much better an I never thought this fragrance would go mainstream.

Very elegance,fresh,strong and extraodinary.My favourite perfume.

perfect.... i like it... =)

The opening is a lot fresher than Versace Pour Homme. But it's a bit annoying, like too much citrus at first.
But when it comes to the dry down, it becomes really beautiful thanks to the mixture of citrus and floral notes.
I would buy this if the opening was a lil bit softer.

کاره متوسطی هست با پخش خوب ولی موندگاری کم.یکم لایته.رسمی نیست.برای استفاده روزانه خیلی خوبه ولی خب باید زیاد اسپری کرد.

Apples and lemons in the opening make it kind of strong and slightly bitter at first, but then drys down very nicely. Pretty consistent throughout the life of the scent but loses some of the bitter in the dry down which is good. This scent has a fresh but also a dry feel to it. Not juicy with citrus like other summer scents. It's clean and does maintain a certain edge. Not a typical aquatic or citrus. I also find longevity to be fantastic on this one compared to other fresh scents. It is easy to see this being a summer signature scent, and I might very well use it for that purpose.

Olivier Cresp has the talent to create fragrances soft, almost auras. Smells that remind us of sunny magical places full of young and happy people. Example: Just Cavalli Blue Men, L'Eau par Kenzo pour Homme, D & G Light Blue Women and Versace Man Eau Fraiche.

This scent is simply spectacular.
Perfume is a very seductive and charismatic.
Women love that smell.
I look forward to having a bottle of these.
For the tests I've done, this is an excellent longevity and a projection phenomenal.
Highly recommended.

very nice smell of lemon and bergamont then it's going to be destroyed by very strong smell of cardamom ..
i hate it really .. !!

As a woman I have to say this is one of the sexiest fragrances for men ever. Love it. Can not get enough of it on my boyfriend. Its one of those that if he wears it you will remember him and that scent always. Very casual sexy sophisticated...just yummy.

Bad News: After applying there is a definite "sour melon" smell, which grows stronger as more is applied. Good News: The "sour melon" begins to fade after about 1/2 an hr, after 1 hr it moves to the background, leaving a very pleasant fruity/flowery essence. I find I need quite a few sprays to make it last more than 3 hrs though, which ramps up the initial "sour melon", so the moral of the story is give it heaps, but apply early, so that it has time to settle ;-)

Fragnance just being good doesnt work....it should last also....very poor lasting

This one is a lover! I bought it for my husband as his B-day present and ended up using it myself (I am female). We are finishing the second bottle and I am into buying it again. I like to wear it to work, it's light and great for everyday use, and it's sexy at the same time. I get many compliments (mostly from men) whenever I wear it.

Great combination of lemon and citrus. Very refreshing with the first burst, only drawback on this one is the longevity, about 2 to 3 hours....

I have to give Eau Fraiche a negative review, despite owning it. There is a HINT of something good here, a melon-apple combination that floats around the top for maybe 15 minutes....beyond that, the fragrance is a mess. The remainder is a thin, sharp, and often sour 2-dimensional fragrance that lasts for about an hour and a half before disappearing into a trace of synthetic musk. One reviewer said it smells exactly like garbage in a plastic bag, and he's right, in that there is a definite garbage-water aroma lurking throughout the first hour or so, especially if you smell it up close. It is not fresh or pleasant, and that is what I had wanted from this fragrance. The bottle is absolutely beautiful and looks great in the collection, but ultimately, it's the juice inside that counts...and this is where Versace Eau Fraiche fails. There are plenty of other great fresh fragrances out there. Don't waste your money on this.

I fall into the 'doesn't last long on me' group. The first hour it smells great, fresh, slightly sweet but quickly disappears.

A nice one but has a poor longevity.

Versace Eau Fraiche is a very nice fragrance, really masculine with nice apples, citrus, etc.. The hotter it gets, the better it becomes. I surely like it. and YES it WORTHS.

Versace Man Eau Fraiche starts with the really familiar cooling, clean, slightly sports perfume type of post 2000 male perfume smell which is quite similar to Chanel Chance Eau Fraiche, but much less sweet. Weird (but good), it's not overly sports-perfume-y aquatic.

After the kinda sparkling opening, it gets quieter, woodier and quite clean in a out-of-shower sense (but not soapy).

I like this perfume on a man when not over applied, also I find Versace Man Eau Fraiche quite unisex and can replace Chanel Chance Eau Fraiche perfectly especially if you find Chance Eau Fraiche too sweet.

i can smell a sweet milk on this combined with citrus scent, very fresh indeed but it doesn't last long on me.

Versace eau Fraiche is all about lemon and apples.

This one starts out very fresh with a citrus vibe into it that trough time gives space to a very good apple smell. Perfect for very hot climates like here in Brazil, specially cause it lasts and projects a lot. A girl can pull this off easily, since it is very similar to D&G Light Blue.

A must buy for anyone who enjoys citrus fragrances, which is not my taste.

Versace Man Eau Fraiche comes across differently to some other summer citrus fragrances. At first contact you can smell the cold fresh lemmon & apple straight from the cooler smell. For some people the above first impression remains, but on my skin, after around a minute after spraying this it took on a more sweet lemon bubblegum aroma, like a summer gourmand fragrance, I prefer more robust citrus fragrances for summer than this. At the same time there is little to dislike about this one. To me it's good but not great. You can certainly detect a masculine floral vibe coming from the saffron note. A good female equivelent to this for the Lady in your life would be Dolce & Gabbana light blue, which even thought it's marketed towards the females, is very unisex in style & similar to this. Projection of Versace eau fraiche is average to good & I can imagine it working well for a lot of people. Worth a try if you want a sweeter alternative to other citrus summer fragrances.

(it's gentel lemon way)

I felt too much lemon!

I don't like lemon in general inside the perfumes
but
anyway
I felt that I accept it
it's not bad for summer
&
as they said already
(( Eau Fraiche ))
it's really so so fresh perfume but in a gentel way, really u can there is something gentel inside it (to be honest) & I think u will feel when u will use it, like u just finished & went out right now from the shawer
but
in general nothing specail!!

It reminds me of a ocean and a city. I smell ocean, clean aroma, salt, slight fishy smell, and lemon like most people have said. I would give it a 8 out of 10. Why would you love it: Reminds you of summer. Why would you hate it: reminds me of fish slightly. Good for June, July, and first half of August. I get about 6 to 8 hours out of this.

Nice and clean. One of the best summer frags.

I just received this today, and after three sprays I could not agree more with the signature notes in this fragrance. Lemon!! But as I am stocking up for my summer fragrances and scents, it's pretty much a generic aquatic summer fragrance that will stay close to the skin during air conditioning, but project a lot more on a hot summer day. After an hour the lemon fragrance dissipates, but it is still noticeable which gives it a very nice clean scent all the way through. Pretty linear as I don't detect a lot of saffron, sage, but it is definitely stocked with a hint of woody notes that lie underneath. I know reviewers have placed the fragrance as "Cedar" which is quite accurate, but there is also a little bit of more spicy woody notes as it dries down. Overall I would give it an 8/10 but not one I'm going to reach for every day. It can be worn by anybody from teenagers to 50+, definitely a daytime, summer frag that doesn't overwhelm you but also doesn't disappoint.
Edit: Outside in a 90 degree day it got like a "second wind" and I really like it!! 3 hours later it's gone. :( Downgrading to a 7/10. There are better citrus/ aquatics out there for summer.

Such a clean and fresh smell! Both citrusy and aquatic. Smelling it just like I am breathing the light sea breeze.

I have never received so many compliments with another cologne before than I have with this. Everywhere I go, I get a compliment. I wear this year round, although the ideal times are during the Spring and Summer for sure because this is a very aquatic fragrance. It lasts at least 4-6 hours on me. I do 4 sprays, one to the back of the neck, the chest, and one to each wrist. This can be a unisex fragrance but I think it is more masculine than it is feminine. If you want a more feminine unisex fragrance, that smells similar to the Man Eau Fraiche, I would sample D&G Light Blue.

I love this one, smells good fruity at the start (starfruit, but sometimes a little rotten), then followed by Light Blue for women..not that special given the fact that Light Blue for women smells exactly the same...Also Ferrari Light Essence smells like this...and its cheaper, and lasts about 4 hrs in me...

I prefer Ferrari than this...but I love Versace...:)))

I've spent a memorable summer with this scent. It's perfect for whole summer; nights, days, casual, formal, anytime!
Cool and fresh citric and herbal scent, so chic and classy. Modern and young. Tropical yummy lovable opening with bold citruses that continues till the end and it passes blasts of herbs and woods respectively.
A must for dandy men for their summer shirts; specially the Hawaiian shirts with those flowers printed on!
Longevity 7/10
sillage 9/10
scent 7/10

I am a woman, and this review is for women who would consider wearing this fragrance.

First off, it is totally safe for women. It has none of the "dirtiness" or "grossness" that men's colognes usually have. If you think the female fragrances are too warm or too sweet for you, maybe you can give it a try.

It smells like D&G Light Blue (which I've only tried the female version) and Davidoff Cool Water Women Ice Fresh mixed together, and on top of that, it is much "colder". I was looking for a fragrance that smells like ice, and I think this would totally do. It is very citric, but not as untamed as does D&G Light Blue. Also, it gives you this chilling sensation, which almost stays in you nose. It's like you squeeze a bunch of lemons into water, and add a few tiny drop of honey, and freeze for 12 hours.

When it settles down, it transitions to a woody scent while maintaining its chilling sensation.

Although this does not smell like ice as much as does Davidoff Cool Water Women Ice Fresh, I would prefer this any day. I fell that Versace Man Eau Fraiche is more like a fragrance, where as Davidoff Cool Water Women Ice Fresh just feels like part of a fragrance.

Light Blue Pour Homme and this are totally similar fragrances - refreshing, cool, a bit woody

longesivity is short but it suits this type of fragrance

After I read all the positive reviews I blind buy this fragrance , the smell is very nice, but on my skin longevity is very poor, only 2h :(( and the projection almost nonexistent.

Versace Eau Fraiche is aquatic-fruity-wood, a really light blue male version. Opens with lemon and a note that doesnt is mentioned, starfruit, that is the differential in this fragrance. After that the heart comes with a cedar mixed with tarragon and a light touch of pepper. Base with wood, saffron and musk. Top summer scent!

It's so nice, so fresh, and It is on the borderline unisex as well. I think it's still one of the nicest citrusy woody scents out there. I had one spray on my wrist today for testing, but it did not last more than a couple hours; how disappointing. I blame it on the weather or just my bad luck. The scent is awesome and bottle is beautiful. It's nicely sweet citrusy fruity goodness with lightly spiced woody amber. I recommend this Versace to anyone who enjoys citrus/woody scent. For me, it is not going to make it on my Must Have, but I will definitely look around for one when the price is right.

I was skeptical of this one. by simply smelling the bottle, i wasnt being fiar. this stuff smells awesome on my skin. sillage isnt that great but just spray a little more - it is alcohol based so it wont be as long lasting as some other actual colognes.
This has a fresh blue smell but isnt too light or too breezy - you will not confuse this with beign unisex like I feel some light fresh fragrances do.
Try it in the store on your skin and give it a few minutes and you will love it. Def give it a try!

After giving this one a thumbs down, I now end up purchasing a full 100ml bottle. I said before that it's sterile - I still think it is. But hey, that's what I'm looking for now. Something that creates an AURA, a subtle yet noticeable one.

Cotton candy may not be the perfect description for it. I'd rather describe it to have manly florals, apples, that clean smell (don't worry the soap smell is not that dominant), a dash of citrus, and sweetness that not the candy sweetness type.

THIS IS THE SMELL OF SEXY INNOCENCE.

Seems like I always change my mind bout scents!
The last time I try this, it just made me bored, I thought its just another fresh summer scent like always. I even have a mini bottle which is a gift, and I never mind to open it!
But a few days now, I suddenly like it, even love it now! And I dont know why, still the same smell, feel a little bit sweeter! Very strange! Seems like it remind me of something special! And I'm dying to purchase one.

I love this fragrance. If you've never smelled it, imagine an apple scented soap in a luxurious suite's steam room-shower. The fragrance is very easy to wear, gets a lot of compliments, and gives off a pleasant fruity-lemony clean vibe. As far as longevity/projection, this is definitely above your average fruity, aquatic, or fresh scent. It is made well, and is ideal for a nice Spring day or a mild Summer picnic. I know this is a very popular scent, and that I do not mind- who cares if someone else knows what you're wearing? Sometimes it is nice to be original, but as far as quality goes there is definitely a reason that this is a popular scent.

@UrbanEnergy

Nice analysis there...yeah, felt the same way with this frag...much like how AdG and CW and their generations have similar themes...

But to me, other than D&G Light Blue for WOmen, this frag has no other similarities.

This fragrance is built around the same blend of aroma chemical freshness that is becoming commonplace now as they figure out how not to offend people with it. It is a sense of expansive goodness at the center of the thing. The good aspect about Eau Fraiche is that it doesn't do anything terribly offensive, while also being very difficult to pin down as to what might be good about it too. At opening the fragrance smells vaguely like Windex glass cleaner and transitions quickly into a strengthened version of this mildly aromatic and woody blue scent. At the center of the little bits of pleasing smell is an uplifting chemical wonderment that has a quality of elevation with a sense of pleasantness. Because there is no noticeable offensive quality about Eau Fraiche, I might be tempted to give it a thumbs up review. It doesn't offend me at all to wear it. It is clean, uplifiting, not too tart, not too harsh, not too citric, not too sweet, and generally it smells good. But, not standing for anything at all is really not an interesting way to live, is it? On balance it is much better than many other fresh fragrances. I might keep a bottle around for occasions when I don't want to stand out while still maintaining some social obsequious stance.

I strongly disagree about longevity, it lasts up to 10 hours on my skin. Just give it another chance and you will love it.

The best I've had from Versace...

This is one of the few colognes I have gotten public compliments from. Don't let the negative reviews lead you astray, EVERYTHING has negative reviews. This cologne is amazing. Very summer/spring/fall. Perfect for this time of year. I own bottles of Chanel and everyone I ask chooses this over all of it. You cannot go wrong with this fragrance.

My best favorite summer fragrance so far.

I really love this one! When I'm wearing this fragrance a get tons of compliments, the ladies love it. The longevity and the projection are good for a summer scent

I know everyone loves this fragrance, but I just didn't care for it. I love Versace Pour Homme, but Man Eau Fraiche has a note in it that comes off as "rotten" or "spoiled" fruit to me. I'm not sure which note it is (maybe starfruit, since I'm not sure what that smells like. Or possibly the saffron or tarragon?). Anyway, I live strong citrus scents, but I don't like that "foul" note in this one. (Kind of reminds me of spoiled orange juice).

As I said, I do love Versace Pour Homme though & I think it's much smoother and mote enjoyable than VMEF.

I have to say this cologne has a fantastic! but I don't if it's just me but I can barely smell it. I literally poured a pool of it into my hand and it smelled the same lol but I did get a faint whiff. I would say it's extremely clean, slightly fruity, and very pleasant.

very fresh. Smells like fresh apple. This cologne must not be tested on paper, if you wanna test it, test it on your skin. I tested probably about four times on the paper and I was like what is wrong with everybody? how come this is very popular. Then I tested on my skin and I got the reason. The only problem is that this is becoming very common, but since smells very clean and fresh, this is in my "to buy" list.

One of my very favorites

When I smell "Acqua Fresca" (italian for Eau Fraiche) I immediately start to think about Donatella's transgendered /mutated /botulinus-ized face. This image together with the smells of Eau Fraiche is killer. I never, ever liked Versace as a designer maison as it represents the apotheosis of the italian stereotype. Black unbuttoned silk shirts with gold crucifixes on tanned pumped chests. Come on, give us a break!



When it comes to "Eau Fraiche" there's nothing like San Pellegrino.

A few more words on the packaging that comes in a turquoise sort of lizard / crocodile skin box. Vulgar.

Rating: 2/10

def see the parallel with D&G LB
___BUT___ eau fraiche has more edge/lasting power/substance
i;m cleaning out the bathroom vanity and noticed a half used vial of this juice...
i'm going for it!!!.......
imagine a surfboard made of cedar. you ride wave after wave in the blue mediterranean. the salt, sunshine warm your body....and you take a rest under a lemon tree....
synthetic??? no..... the more this settles on my skin, i'm transported to some isolated, untouched, raw mediterranean island full of lemon groves, blue skies, and crashing foamy ocean waves.
this is everything i imagine a modern greek god would smell like

I really do not care if a scent is aimed at men or women and i really love D&G light blue. I think it is a simple genius fragrance. However, i was always searching for something with just a little bit more of a masculine edge to it and this is it. I love this fragrance but forget about it sometimes during the winter months. When i get round to having a springtime spray i feel alive when i smell this. Even though it is overtly synthetic i get a juice-like note all the way through the duration.
I am a big fan of iso e super heavy fragrances and this one has a bucket load in the base. This means that the longevity is amazing for a summer scent which is quite a rare thing. I always get compliments when i am wearing it...i just have to give myself a reminder every April that i own it.

Beware new comers of fragrance. Although this is quite a good smell & refreshing too, to the untrained nose this can be easily confused with Dolce& Gabbana's Light Blue, yes there are differances but many similar notes. I'm honestly not a fan of this particular scent. Probably because everyone & thier pet squirrel wears Light Blue.

Black XS is better imo. This has week longevity, and it stays kinda close to the skin.

Very fresh and citrusy. In a good way. young beachy easy to swallow-sexy scent. I like it :)

my favorite cologne. if you like summer fragrance, you should get this

Got this perfume out of curiosity and it suprised me a lot. Love the scent and i can even wear it any time of the day.

For those looking for something that is soft yet sexy scent this is highly recommended..

Quinthius' review is perfect!

I think it's a smooth aquatic but probably TOO smooth. I personally like the depth and "rough-blendedness"(if that even makes sense. haha) of Cool Water. This does seem too sterile as Quinthius pointed out.

I don't think anyone can really hate it though. It's safe and fresh.

I consider myself a fan of italian brands, not only because my grandparents are from Italy, but I love how they create their products as cars, clothes and perfumes.
One of the main characteristics from italian brands when producing perfumes is to create something light, classy, clean and yet masculine.
Versace eau fraiche reunites all of these characteristics in a bottle. It opens with citruses notes, carambola from Brazil and starts to being woody during the drydown. It has great sillage and longevity for a daytime cologne (more than 8 hours in my skin).
My final score: 9,5/10

If I were to throw away all my fragrance collection (more than 70 frags) and keep only one I would keep this one. The Best aquatic scent ever smelled. Great citrus, great combination of woods, pepper and safron...

Recomended...

Smells like a "nicer" Cool Water to me, with a little more woodsy pine smell to it... almost Christmasy. Must be the tarragon and sage.

Yet, I think I like Cool Water better. This seems a little more dry and sterile, whereas Cool Water seems more lively and colorful.

I tried this recently. For this fragrance, think of Bvlgari. The initial spray is just like Bvlgari Pour homme, the dry down is just like Bvlgari Aqua. So essentially, it's nice but I prefer Aqua. Fraiche was not strong, it washed off very easily and it didn't last long before that. I'm easily disappointed with Versace (with the exception of Black Jeans) but for good reason. But I smelt Aqua first so it's not fair to say this isn't original enough.

one of my hot favorite colognes

one of my favorites

my favorite scent ever. i am constantly asked what i am wearing, or told how good i smell by men and women. i bought this on advice of girl at scent store and can't thank her enough

This is the top 10 of the fresh and summer scents. Modern, elegant and impressive good for all occasion.

overated and not original nothing but a moden day cool water

WoW! so fresh! startes off with a citrus and then goes into a citrus woody, fruity amazing scent. Sillage is amazing! Kinda similar to Dior Sport but most definately the male equivalent to D&G Light Blue. Must have for the summer and many compliments on this! :)

In my opinion Versace Eau Fraiche is extravagant, long lasting, linear, synthetic, gay, "go to club" kind of perfume.

If you tried this scent in the colder weather, you might have failed to recognize the difference of this perfume from other aquatics. However, in the warm weather you will understand that this fragrance is not Acqua di Gio at all, it's bolder, more extrovert, more vulgar.

What I like about it: it's main note smells nice and sexy and it lasts incredibly long.

What I don't like about it: the scent is so linear that you get tired of it in the middle of the day. It's like being forced to listen to your favorite song over and over again for many hours (8-12)!
I also dislike its very synthetic notes. My nose is very sensitive to it and sometimes I sneeze a lot while wearing it, (which is not sexy at all)... On the other hand, being sooo synthetic, it can be easily worn to those underground European clubs, where it's still allowed to smoke - its notes are strong enough to beat the tobacco...

And the last but not the least: I find this fragrance a little gay. I've got compliments mostly from men, and I can imagine a sexy glamorous brunette to seduce me just by wearing this "male" fragrance.

Overall opinion: don't buy it as the ONLY perfume for yourself (if you are a heterosexual man). You can buy this as a gift for someone else :-).
Or, if you've got a collection of perfumes (as I do) - you might want to have a bottle of this. But go for a smaller bottle - you'll get tired of this fragrance pretty soon...

I was dying to try this scent. But when I tested it, a little bit dissapointed. Just another fresh aquatic scent, nothing stands out. Just like Gio, D&G Light Blue, Allure Home Sport, even its cousin Versace Pour Home...(what else can I count?)
As I always love aquatic scents, this is still a nice one. But when U wear it, no one can tell the difference with other cool summer scents out there!

Love this! So refreshing & clean smelling for summer with the citrus & green apple notes. Lovely mild wood drydown. Basically the masculine version of D&G Light Blue. Contemporary & sexy for the warmer months, and a good departure from heavy woody or leathery men's scents.

One of my faves for my man, since it doesn't overwhelm me during romantic moments. Highly recommend! Even some ladies could pull this off if they have the right chemistry.

I've had this perfume as gift after buying my Versace "Acron" watch :) ...

When I was on job in office I was wearing this perfume and 3-4 ppls asked what is it you wearing!

Also my gf asked same quistion when I've worn it for the first time we were out!

On my skin, it starts with a bright blast of citrus immediately followed by Star fruit(Carambola)and a hint of herbs. The best way I can describe what star fruit smells like is lemony creamy pineapple, if that makes any sense. My parents have always had a star fruit tree on the property so this fragrance triggers memories. After about 3 hours, the dry down comes in with woods and amber. I easily get 8 to 10 hours. Guys, beware purchasing this one from unreliable sources, highly counterfeited! I wouldn't even think of buying this one on ebay. I know someone that received a fake from ebay, the fragrance was an unpleasant lemon and longevity was less than 10 minutes. If you're experiencing those issues, check the authenticity because you probably got dupped!

Hi.

Light,Light and Light!I am a fan VERSACE but unfortunately this one big disappointed for me.VMEF is certainly inoffensive but never made me feel fresh or even feel like i am wearning a nice fragrance.

Only at very first minute,i found it Nice but after a few minutes startes disapearning like a common Cologne.My advice would be to give this fragrance a try on your skin before you make a purchase decision

The langevity is very Weak on my skin.terrible in fact.Bad sillage as i've got to put my nose an inch from my skin until i can recognize it scent!Perhaps i am only here,dont feel like wearning this cologne!What a pity!!!

5/10

First off, let me start this by saying there has never been a fragrance by Versace (mens or womens) I've smelled that I didn't LOVE or at least Like very much! That being said, before I smelled this from a tester strip in a Conde Naste mens mag I saw Versace MAN on a frag website and it was purple but the notes listed were these. I ordered the deo and 50ml EDT giftset for $28.19 (SCORE!) and counted the days till it came, when it did it was elegantly packaged and a gorgeous textured flacon. When I smelled it I was speechless, yet how could I be angry with such a beautiful sweet, masculine elegant frag?! Now I always double check notes on FRAGRANTICA and this has never happened since...

When I tested this (FOR REAL) I smiled as I imagined Mediterranean seashore with beautiful men and women bathing in the sun. I did not want to pay full retail for this so I went home and shopped on the Net and realised that Azzaro's Bright Visit has many of the same notes and the ones that were not the same were similar. I was happy and wear ABV quite often, yet it is nowhere near as subtle and elegant as this is...

The bitter bergamot and lively lemon are sparkling and the cardamom, though spicy, smooths their sharpness and rosewood (normally further along in other fragrances) gives this combo a sweet woody kiss. This woodiness continues as cedar deepens this feeling of sturdy elegance as the herbal heartnotes kick in. Tarragon (one of my favorites) has a dry sweet reserved green that mellows the intensity of the clary sage. Pepper gives aquatics a deep warm feel (like shallow warm water)as the starfruit, sugary and syrupy, yet tart continues from the top to the heart and makes each an extension of the other. I know from my description so far you're thinking TOO SWEET but this perfectly balanced creation is never too heavy with any of its luxurious raw materials. The base contains sycamore, a wood I just adore (also in Hermes' Jardin sur le Nil),melded to the saffron's warm embrace while amber (grey not yellow) and musk bring this aquatic extravaganza to a silky soft close very close to the skin. Crystalline Blue Perfection...

Sillage: noticable, trailing & soft
Longevity: Lasts and lasts
Overall: 4.75/5

If you're thinking "Oh boy, another woody aquatic!", think again...this breaks no new ground true but thats like saying a Lamborghini is just another car! Try this, buy this cause you can't deny this...IT ROCKS! Even if this kind of frag is not your cup of tea, the construction is flawless and the proportions are perfect...

I wore D&G Lite Blue womens for a couple years, because it was on the mens side of the case where I bought it. And I wore it till mens version was released, so I don't think it is just like Eau Fraiche at all. MEF is more like ABV's rich European cousin...and LB is more like his silly younger sister. N'cest pa?

The best summer fragrance.
If it's really hot outside i dont know what to wear else.
Truly woody acquatic.
Very light ,very fresh get a lot of compliment.
Projection is good and Longevity about 4-5 hours.

light and fresh! I gave it to my brother for graduation and he loves it!

It's funny the comparisons with D&G Light Blue. I asked a co worker once if he had on light blue and he told me that he was wearing Versace but wasn't sure of the name of the frag. I think that it's safe to assume that he had this frag on.

This is my #1 favorite men's cologne by Versace.

Good quality scent, very likable. Funny, this seems to be girls' absolute favorite of men's scents in my country right now. I browsed some women's forum :))

4.5/5 from me

AGREED for those who think that it smells like D&G light & Blue.. it is suitable for daily / office wear. one of my fav collection in my wardrobe too .. its like, i can wear it anytime i want to..

I'm surprised I don't see more mentions on here of the similarities between this and D&G Light Blue, in fact they are almost identical which is great because I always loved Light Blue (women's) but I wasn't going to buy perfume for myself. I bought this at Macy's yesterday along with Versace Bright Crystal (for my gf) and it's my new favorite cologne. Highly highly recommended.

best summer scent simply amazing very very fresh if you like citrus this is the one you must have

Fresh and clean fragrance! I like it!

When I first got a whiff of it on my husband, I actually thought he had spritzed on some of my D&G Light Blue!! It smells like Light Blue after the smell fades. I was tickled to find out Oliver Cresp created both this fragrance and Light Blue!

A very fresh & sharp fragrance (bergamot, lemon, cardamom, rosewood) from the beginning till the end, adding after 2 hrs a strong spicy-aromatic feel at middle (sage, pepper) and after another 4 hrs ! a little bitter-fresh (tarragon) & sweet-woody touch at dry down. It evolved very nice on skin, at through different stages it reminded me of Kenneth Cole Black (fresh-sharp-aromatic in top-middle) and Armani Mania (a fresher & non-bitter version in middle-base) together with D&G LightBlue. Fantastic feeling of freshness longevity along the way (very good for hot summers). My humble rank 8/10.

I bought this one blind. It was reduced down to $10 for a 1oz bottle, so I thought I would give it a go. I am pleased I did.

To my nose it is similar to Bulgari pour homme, but is actually much more potent. The pepper, cardamom and bergamot as well as the woody notes are what make it similar.

The difference is the Versace does it MUCH better, with fewer notes. The Versace is subtle while the Bulgari is just plain weak. It is summer here in Australia and I think this will be very good for summer conditions: it is fresh, crisp with just the right amount of citrus.

breath of fresh air...ahhh and it suits me well even if i am a woman and it s man fragrance

I tried this on my wrist last weekend and I couldnt stop sniffing it, it really was hynotizing. I ordered a bottle online and patiently awaited it's arrival. it wasnt until I started reading reviews about this fragrance there was something familiar about this fragrance that I couldnt put my finger on and the familiar thing was so many people saying it smelt like Issey Miyake L'eau D'Issey Pour Homme. I have a real dislike to this scent as it reminds me of someone I hate! Now when I smell this all I can smell is Issey. URRRRGHHH WHY! did everyone have to compare it to Issey Miyake :(

Ironically, Versace Man Eau Fraiche is less masculine than Versense. It's a highly pleasant citrus-lavender-spices combination that oozes charisma without trying too hard. On me, it's very linear the entire way through before trailing off to a light smokey finish. Very smooth, modern, and polished; like a sports car. I would definitely find it sexy, on a classy man.

I never tried Light Blue Pour Homme, but Versace Man Eau Fraiche smells like a hybrid between Chrome and Acqua di Gio. Imagine the herbaceous heart of Acquo lightened by the citrus combination in Chrome.

Well played, Versace!

very fresh and energetic cologne,i think that versace pour homme,d&g light blue and chanel allure homme sport are similar to versace man.
its last around 8 hours on my skin.
highly recommended

Versace Man Eau Fraiche has a fresh and energetic scent. It really projects well and usually last longer. It's quite similar to D&G light blue for girls but with a touch of masculine notes :)

really nice fresh fragrance. yes it is similar to Blue Seduction by Banderas but with extra strength and complexity.

This was my first blind buy, and i'm very happy i did; it's a beautiful fragrance on every level. Very sweet, but still masculine. Excellent drydown, projection and longevity (i seem to get good longevity on fragrances, but was amazed by this: 35+ hours) - which is great because it smells fantastic. It is a summer fragrance, but sometimes i just can't refrain from using it, whatever the season or occassion. Second to Dreamer, this is my favourite Versace fragrance

a very nice scent. as the name suggests, very fresh & calming.=)

I love this fragance. It´s a 9.5/10!!Seductive and sexy, Versace Man Eau Fraîche is among my top 3 fragrances. Highly recommended!!

blind buy but I dont regret it, highly recommended

i definitely love this fragrance! And yes, the scent is so similar to light blue and i love love!..don't be surprise coz it were all made by the same maker/noser, olivier cresp.

my goodness this smells sooooo good. Im a woman and i decided to test this on myself today. WOW! much better and fresher than the fresh citrus fragrances for women. this quickly was added to my wishlist and I will be wearing it next summer!

hehe, i am planning to get this one for my darling ^^ love its fresh and citrusy scent, it definitely suits an active person like him!

I usually don't like aquatic, fresh, citrusy fragrances. But this one was a very good surprise!
I really liked it. It's very summery and fresh.

A very fresh citrusy fragrance with decent longevity up to 5 hours on me. But stay very close to the skin.

Thi is a lovely, perfume. It's not overbearing or cloying, quite "young" and fresh. Suitable for every occasion and time of day.

A wonderful scent a 10 in my opinion I really enjoy wearing it everyone loves it on me.

Yeah, reading from the comments above everyone can have a feel of what this scent is about: subtle, fresh, citrusy. I'd add it's comfortable and elegant. In fact it's a very good (and safe) scent for office, especially during hot days. I think that despite having a sharp, distinctive starfruit note, Eau Fraîche is not that original. Well, which fresh fragrance is, by the way?

Now, what makes this one stand out is that yet subtle and uninvasive, it lasts. If I apply it by the morning, by the evening it's still there. That is such a rare feature for a fresh scent. So, guys who prefer heavier perfumes that last longer (like me) should back this one up for an occasional fresh feel.

Also, it's unissex. I've seen girls wearing it and it works as well on them as on men. It means that Versace Man Eau Fraîche is not that sporty, over-lemony kind of fresh, but rather a delicate fragrance. More a Pink Floyd than an AC/DC.

Thumbs up for the staying power and for the bottle. Hm, and for the gentlemanly aroma it has, even though it's not the most original and catchy available.

My brother was given this for working two weeks at a chemist for work experience, and I was rather suprised on how easy it is to wear.

As a female, I find this to be a "unisex" fragrance cause even women could get away with wearing it.

Lasting power isnt so great, but great enough to wear during the Summer.

Longlasting fresh frag, even after bath you can smell it. Citrusy top:
lemon, bergamot, later hmm quite strong sage and pepper. And after several hrs nice, light woody and musk notes. Two thumbs up! Definitely worth buying.

To me the top notes were different to the point of me not knowing if I liked it or not. It grew on me. Very different scent and not too common in my area. Not a fan of the bottle. 2nd in my spring/summer rotation this year.

One of my best perfumes to wear here in the brazilian hot weather>

I will admit i wasn't very fond of Versace Man Eau Fraiche at first because i had only smelt it on tester paper. And we all know we can't get the full effect of a fragrance on tester paper so i gave it another try on my skin...

AND NOW I LOVE IT! How could i be so naive? Eau Fraiche is a very different cologne. To me it goes from woody to sweet whereas colognes usually go from sweet to woody. The drydown is what captivates me. The lemon and bergamot combined with the sage and saffron is incredible. And i always have a softspot for amber.

I do think Eau Fraiche could be considered a unisex fragrance. It does smell similar to Dolce & Gabbana Light Blue for women but D&G dries down to be powdery. Eau Fraiche has that nice touch of masculinity so girls would be taking a risk! :p

I also like the bottle. It just screams "i'm expensive". I'm not very fond of the cap though. Its really hollow plastic and i'm afraid of breaking it everytime i go to open it.

Versace is becoming one of my favorite lines when it comes to cologne. Their cologne always takes me a while to like but the more i smell them, the more they grow on me.

In my top-5 list.A gorgeus fragrance for a day at work and a summer night in greece.Really love to wake up and smell it from last night.A must have fragrance.

Versace Man Eau Fraiche is very different from Versace Man.

It opens with really strong citrus notes, including carambola (star fruit), a traditional fruit in Brazil.

For an woody aquatic, its lasting power is very nice. It lasts around 6 hours on my skin.

It reminds me of D&G Light Blue and Nina. Highly recommended!

my fiancee loves it! i think it's a fresh scent, it's long lasting!!

I love it - it' s fresh, citrus, light, great for summer. The bottle is absolutely gorgeous. First time i sniffed it, it reminded me to my Light blue so i took it for my friend. I think it's unisex.

It's great! This is one of my favorite male fragrances.It smells really good.Not too light and not too strong.It is balanced.

It's one of the best for summerdays, fresh and aquatic. It has a very longasting power on my husband. I like the trail and the drydown too. But it's not for those who like very masculine scents, I think.

mm,. for all those light blue fans, this is the male version without doubt, fruity-aquatic with an unique vibe..

The most disappointing fragrance that I have bought. Actually i bought it and the next day sold it to my friend for half the price. I don't know why people think it's unique. It is so ordinary...
and it fades in an hour

I love this fragrance so much! Is has such a unique aroma. I love it and I wear it every time I can.

nice very nice ,this 1 and bulgaru marine i think the best agouatics great perfume

Very soft and fresh scent. I prefer this Versace any day of the week over the original. Its a subtle scent but its unmistakable. The notes mix wonderfully together to give a fresh citrus hit at first and a delicious linger that pushes it away from other "aquatics".
But there is not doubt its a masculine smell. Very different and unique. I find it versatile enough to wear casually or as complement to that dress to kill "James Bond" tux that comes out on occasion. A friend has tried it and complained of a lack of scent time and a weak dry down but I know a number of people that have that problem with aquatics across the board. Honestly one of my favorites. Definitely a recommendation for those looking to expand their selection of aquatics.

A rare combination of almost every citrus summery fragrance i've used

It reminds me of Nina by Nina Ricci.

Good fragrance ! Soft, sexy, ... :D (alternative to Acqua di Gio)
