Clarins Eau Ressourçante Eau Tranquility is a new fragrance from Clarins. Even though the packaging is similar to the Eau Dynamisante perfume it is a completely different smell. I find Eau Dynamisante is very distinct and can be a bit overpowering but the Tranquility perfume is lovely and fresh. So, sit back and let me tell you a bit more.
What Clarins say about it?
Serenity, Freshness, Balance.

Envelop yourself in freshness and serenity to rediscover harmony and energy.

- Envelops the body in a delicate, refined ...
