I got this as a sample from a wonderful swapper. This a true snow scent, almost like Demeter's only lots better.....If I could afford it, yes, I would buy it. Clean, sort of spicy, definitely...

I disliked this fragrance the first few times I tried it. It reminded me of Philosophy's Baby Grace except without the sweetness. Like a bitter powder scent. Yes, it is very cool and crisp, but the...

I can admire this perfume like people admire pictures in the museum, it does evoke pleasant dreams. But I CANNOT wear this perfume, for me it is not wearable at all.

Sorry I can't be a poetic as many of the reviewers are about this fragrance but I do love it. I've walked by the Frederic Malle display at Barney's so many times and finally went in the other day....

L'Eau d'Hiver is snow and it's ice, it's everything nice! This is like ice crystals suspended in the air and surrounding me. This is winter solstice meets spring equinox. This is great during the...

When first applied, I got strong anise and I thought 'no!', as I so dislike anise. It changed into a velvety, somewhat powdery, bittersweet scent with a melancholic air. There is a certain thing...

An ice nymph would wear L'Eau d'Hiver with ease, while dancing in the twilight amidst elves and goblins in a frozen, enchanted forest. While I'm always surprised at how synthetic it is upon...

"Winter Water"... what a beautiful and perfectly appropriate name for this otherworldly scent. After Musc Ravageur, this is my second favorite in Malle's line. Like Angeliques sous la Pluie, this...

What a pretty, feminine, comforting scent! To me this is the perfect fragrance for cuddling, it has a magically calming effect on me...and it smells sooo...white! And though i get some "wrinkled...

L'Eau d'Hiver is to POTL as white chocolate is to real chocolate, as white corn syrup is to molasses, as white sugar is to brown--you get the idea. There is an insipid, synthetic edge to it which,...

Very sophisticated, a bit floral, a bit green/earthy, but very powdery, too. Won't be purchasing as I don't care for powdery scents.

I'm disappointed. I've been looking for a marine scent to love and thought, after reading all the rave reviews, that this would be it. But, alas, it smells like all the other marine scents to me....

This is the type of fragrance that, although not mass marketed, is likely to appeal to a high percentage of those who test it -- because it just smells good, clean and fresh. It's a bit citrusy, a...

What a contemplative, wistful, ethereal conjuration this is. It starts out a bit bracing and astringent, almost like a bergamot or lemon grass, and then settles into a mellow fugue that reminds me...

Eau d'Hiver is nothing like any I've worn before, and I adore it. I don't feel like I know it well,or that it suits me particularly well, but I love it. Some scents make themselves known very...

Very strong at first spritz - I recoiled a bit from the sharpness. Very marine and peppery opening - bordering on masculine. This quickly changes on my skin from strong and sharp, to subtle and...

What a wonderfully strange, snake-y fragrance. It opens with a fresh blast of cold green grass, then - and I know none of the notes suggest this, but I swear it's what I smell - dry, smoky incense....

This one was all baby powder on me. It reminded me of diapers and that's just not something I want to smell like. I think a whiff of cucumber was coming through in the end, but I couldn't stick it...
