CreamyWhat does The Revenge of Lady Blanche smell like?
Longevity is rated good and sillage moderate, so it stays fairly close to the skin rather than filling a room. Autumn and winter wear is possible, but the votes cluster in the warmer seasons. Half of voters read it as feminine, with others calling it classic or modern.
It opens with narcissus, orris root sits at the heart, and sandalwood settles underneath. The fresh, floral and green accords lead, softened by sweet, powdery and creamy sides. Jo Malone Orris & Sandalwood and Penhaligon's Highgrove Bouquet have a close profile.
