Eros Fire
A gourmand oriental woody fragrance built around cardamom, vanilla, amber, cedarwood, musk. Scent profile not yet written in our editorial pass — the listed notes are the most reliable summary of the wear character until that's filled in.
Man Eau Fraiche
Opens with a sharp citrus burst — lemon and bergamot hit clean and bright, lifted by a quick cardamom spice that keeps it from going flat. The heart settles into cool, slightly herbal territory: sage and tarragon give it a green, almost aquatic edge without leaning watery. Cedar grounds the dry-down alongside amber and musk, landing somewhere warm but never heavy. Projection is polite, maybe a foot or two off skin, with a soft musk sillage that lingers three to five hours — A warm-weather staple for anyone who wants effortlessly clean and approachable over anything bold or complex.
How they overlap
Eros Fire and Man Eau Fraiche share 3 notes (cardamom, musk, amber). The same note name doesn't always mean the same scent — different houses use different vanillas, different woods, different musks — but a multi-note shared spine usually does indicate genuinely-comparable wear character. The remaining notes (3 unique to Eros Fire, 5 unique to Man Eau Fraiche) are where the divergence happens.
