What does 1881 Blanc smell like?

Longevity is moderate and sillage weak, so it stays close to the skin as a quiet scent. Most voters recommend spring and summer, and daily wear, office and leisure sit almost level. Most find it feminine, and it leans towards daytime rather than evening.

It opens with grapefruit and pear under the brightness of aldehydes, fresh and slightly green. In the heart, freesia, gardenia and cotton flower add a floral, powdery softness. The base of white musk and vanilla dries down creamy and warm. Creed Pure White Cologne and Lancaster Aquasenses have a close profile.
