    Clean and soapy. This is most certainly what I would call the cleanest smelling fragrance around. On men I prefer ultra masculine and leathery scents, but considering that I think this would be a...

    I love this stuff! I got samples from their website, and they have exellent customer service. I am going to order a full size bottle. I agree with the others that Philosophy really copied this...

    This starts off with a just slightly sharp note on my skin (probably from the citrus notes), but it quickly mellows to a soft, clean floral that is a perfect everyday fragrance. The notes are...

    Perfect clean scent. Similar to Gendarme, but just slightly more subtly floral and feminine. Perfect for the just showered feel, good for a job interview, or when you don't want to wear any...

    I love this soft clean scent... I definitely agree that Philosophy duped this fragrance (and failed) with Pure Grace. Pure Grace "turns bad" on me - - smells awful after a few minutes. ...

    .I use both Gendarme and Carriere and love them both. But, I have to disagree that they're the same. Gendarme is slightly more masculine in that I don't detect floral at all. It's almost as if the...

    Terribly overpriced for a below-average clean fragrance. Very soapy and sharp at the beginning, the citrus top notes fade into oblivion to reveal an unremarkable clean musk fragrance. The drugstore...

    This is the quintessential just-out-of-the-shower clean scent. I do not smell any citrus (thank goodness). I smell florals (I can't distinguish the actual flowers, though) and a hint of wood...

    This does smell fresh like the other reviews stated and I was so hoping to like it. It has just a little hint of musk to me and I can't warm up to it. Something about it reminds of the Jean Nate...

    This does remind me of the Philosophy Pure Grace, but as others have said, with greater lasting power. I love the CLEAN scent of this. Love it! I also had compared this to the original Gendarme,...

    This has a great clean, crisp scent. I pick up a hint of citrus in it at first. Then, it dries down to something very similar to Philosophy's Pure Grace, but stronger. Staying power is great. For...

    On my skin, Carriere is hardly in an unobtrusive or YSSB scent as has been described here so many times. For the first two to three hours, it is a sharp citrus scent, like grapfruit zest, but more...

    I first bought Gendarme and loved it, but it had zero staying power, so back it went. Then I picked up Carriere...I enjoy the fragrance just a bit more and the staying power is definitely better...
