by Comptoir Sud Pacifique
Eau de Naphe by Comptoir Sud Pacifique is a light, refreshing fragrance centered on citrus and white floral notes, with a subtle sweet bubblegum undertone that gives it a playful charm. The opening features bergamot and Brazilian orange, balanced with fir resin and a crisp floral core of jasmine and orange blossom. The drydown reveals a soft, musky tinge that carries hints of grape and grape jelly—suggesting a synthetic or fruity undertone akin to Thierry Mugler's Alien, though more restrained. It's known for its vanilla-free, clean profile, which makes it especially wearable in summer, particularly during daytime hours. Despite some reports of short longevity, it offers a moderate sillage and wears subtly, evoking vibes of a French coastal summer—gentle, cool, and quietly compelling. It's especially praised as a harmonious pairing with other perfumes, enhancing their fruitier or floral aspects without overwhelming them. Though not widely liked, it has a dedicated following that appreciates its niche yet accessible character.
