What does Original 78 White smell like?

It opens bright and airy with bergamot, lemon, ozonic notes and blackcurrant. In the heart, lotus, rose, geranium and floral notes take over and the scent turns softer and powdery. Frankincense, sandalwood and musk leave a creamy base underneath.

Longevity is rated good and sillage moderate, so it makes itself known without filling the room. Voters pick it mostly for daily wear and leisure, with sport and the office close behind, while night and evening use gets far fewer votes. Angel Schlesser Femme Adorable and La Rive Pearl Woman have a close profile.
