With an energy multiplied tenfold by the irrepressible desire for freedom, Eau Folle generously and disorderly projects all the vivacity of a bouquet of aromatic herbs with spicy, green and herbaceous facets. Tonic and stimulating, the top notes rise to power before handing over to a base of moist, diffusive woods that prolong thefreshness. All this in a concentration never before seen for this olfactory family: 25%!
After the Second World War, a number of perfumes set out to bring a little well-being and relief to the population. Combining fresh, luminous notes with stronger, richer base notes, these creations were later dubbed ‘eaux fraîches’. Paul Vacher, the iconic Le Galion perfumer, was one of the first to work with this olfactory style, and in 1953 presented Whip, a delicious burst of citrus fruits contrasting with an aromatic heart and a woody, chypre base. Over the years, he continued to revisit his own collection in lighter versions. Borrowing its name from a now-defunct iconic creation from the 1970s, Eau Folle was launched in 2024, paying homage to Paul Vacher's famous eaux fraîches in a contemporary style with a never-ending hold.

« I imagined Eau Folle as complementary to its accomplices Eau Noble, Whip, Cologne and Cologne Nocturne. Mixed, slender and carefree, with a wild aromatic vigour and unbridled woody power. Like a breath of fresh air that would sweep away our doubts. »
