What does Blanc des Cotons smell like?

Its longevity and sillage are both rated good. Most voters suggest spring and autumn, with winter and summer further behind. It leans towards leisure, office and daily wear, and is chosen less for evening or nights out. Though unisex, half of those who voted read it as feminine.

Talcum and iris set the powdery tone, while rose and lavender fill in the floral side. Bergamot adds a fresh citrus lift, and vanilla pulls it towards something creamy and sweet. Patchouli and gaiac wood sit behind as a soft, woody base. Sinfonia di Note Bianco Cotone and LM Parfums Chemise Blanche have a close profile.
