A Good Knock Off of Versace Man Eau Fraiche

I always say that knock offs are never 100% the original they are copying.

But Parfums de Coeur recently launched a knock off of Dolce & Gabbana Light Blue for women called Capri Breeze. Tried some and it does not match Light Blue women for it is missing the floral notes that hide behind citrus - I believe the flower is bluebelles??? It is not there in this version.



Capri is very citrus pepper and woods and smells very much like Eau Fraiche instead. The stuff is cheap and sold as a cologne but it is at eau de parfum strength. If you have problems with Eau Fraiche lasting on you give this one a try no one will know you are wearing this impostor the will think it is Versace you are wearing. This stuff is just pumping its fresh citrus sillage!

Watch out for the spray though it is a aerosol not a pump spray and a lot can come out at you.

I've been searching online for it, because i'm a big van of Eau Fraiche.......The only thing I've found so far is the body spray......Amazon has body sprazy 2.5 oz for 3.59........I might still buy it if it's that close and pair it with Eau Fraiche....You think that would work?????

Buy it from the manufacturer here:http://www.parfumsdecoeur.com/Product.aspx?ID=347&SC=0

They also make Body Heat, which is a good, long-lasting, inexpensive gourmand.

To my nose, the new Chrome Sport smells almost identical to Versace Man Eau Fraiche.

Blue Seduction by Antonio Panderas is identical to Eau Fraiche, you'll be amazed how similar they are, and how much yo'll pay for a bottle of Blue Seduction. Has anyone ever noticed the similarity?
