What does Blanc smell like?

The top holds almond, hawthorn and angelica, while the heart of freesia, rose, sweet pea and lily gives it a floral frame. In the base, heliotrope, musk and milk turn the sweetness soft, creamy and gourmand. The overall impression is fresh, powdery and lightly woody.

Most voters pick spring and summer, with daily wear and the office leading the occasions. Longevity is rated moderate and sillage weak, so it stays close to the skin. Around half of voters read it as feminine. Aubade Le Parfum and Jacques Zolty Fleur de Lune have a close profile.
