Jean Charles Brosseau Fruit de Bois EDT in detail
Jean Charles Brosseau is the house behind Fruit de Bois EDT. It comes as Eau de Toilette.
Fruit de Bois: day or night?
It works better in the day than at night, so it is a good pick for work, school and daily wear. Its aromatic side keeps it clean and easy.
Longevity on skin
It lasts a medium time, about 3 to 6 hours on skin. As an Eau de Toilette, it is lighter than an Eau de Parfum, so it fades sooner. Guerlain Vetiver Guerlain and Elizabeth Taylor Passion for Men last longer, if that matters to you. Base notes like vetiver and sandalwood are the part that stays longest on the skin.
Best season for Fruit de Bois
The best time of year to wear it is spring and fall. It is less suited to summer. Ranked by season: spring, fall, winter and summer. Its fresh smell feels good on warm days.
Sillage and projection
Projection is medium: people near you can smell it. Three or four sprays give a good balance. The Spirit Of Dubai Meydan spreads further.
Other Jean Charles Brosseau perfumes
The house has 20 perfumes here, led by Ombre Rose, Ombre Rose Parfum and Bois D'Orient.
