I just smell laundry detergent and very strongly. I don’t get it. The sillage and longevity is huge, I sprayed once kept smelling it throughout the day (which rarely happens for me with perfume). It reminds me of Miracle by Lancome- not necessarily the smell, but the atmosphere… The overkill of cleanliness and purity. Lacks complexity.
tvv2002 – :
Laundry detergent with the pricetag of a high end perfume! This isn’t distinctive enough to warrant the hefty price and quite frankly, pretty boring!
If you’re seeking fresh white florals, I strongly recommend the wonderful Jean-Michel Duriez Mes Fleurs de Tulipes – formerly Jean Patou in-house perfumer – a far better fragrance that smells more high end, literally spring in a bottle with more depth and elegance that doesn’t veer into cheap laundry soap territory the way Byredo Blanche does.
pawel009 – :
Fruity-sweet aldehydes, almost like Donald bubble gum, then laundry-detergent. Meh.
FooxipsEtesse – :
Soapy floral freshness; the epitome of ‘squeaky clean’. If you haven’t smelled this yet, adjust your expectations now! I was not prepared for such a simple scent. Personally I love it; it’s totally up my alley and had great longevity. I rarely come by a fragrance that my nose doesn’t tire of quickly, and that I want to smell over and over again. It’s up to you whether Blanche is worth the Byredo-sized price tag (I thought it was at least worth buying a discounted tester bottle).
a.l.e.x-84 – :
I had high hopes for Blanche–I like Byredo, and I like basic boring laundry type scents for Spring and Summer. However, this is nothing special. It reminds me a bit of Clean Sweet Layer, which was released in the late 1990s and which I wore to death. On me, Blanche is synthetic and nothing special.
Ordevereese – :
Blanche is linen-freshness on your skin without the risk of detergent rash. It is crisp, cool with a tinge of sweetness from that sandalwood note. It is a really clean smell, without coming across as antiseptic. I’m wearing it now as I struggle with the equatorial heat in Southeast Asia without an air conditioner and it brings much comfort. Some might consider this a little pricey for a simple linen-fresh scent thats pleasant and unpretentious at most. Then again, I’ve always appreciated the smell of fresh clothes after a wash even as a child, and this brings back homely memories of a lost innocence which makes it a worthwhile buy.
alixolga – :
I love this perfume because it’s so light, so fresh, giving me more calm feeling. It’s too safe to wear. 🙂
luandr – :
It’s very soapy, clean and inoffensive. A bit floral, some aldehydes, a bit sharp, a bit laundry fresh.
Easy to wear, but sadly doesn’t last (I rarely expect scents like this to last, so that’s ok), but it’s light enough to reapply often.
I do own it, but I’m not quite sure why… I never wear it?
ferik – :
It is a fresh soapy scent. Great for summer. Light, pink peppery and smells like fresh linens. Its hard for anyone to dislike. Its only FB worthy if you adore the scent itself or if you like clean scents in general. I personally love it! Its fresh and easy to wear. Sillage is good for a little while.

Bug spray (particularly in the opening notes) + laundry detergent + prissy pheromones

White. As in laundry detergent. Never mind Sean John, THIS is unforgivable.
TaToLLlKa – :
Blanche is my sister’s signature spring and summer scent. Its funny to read all the negative comments because I personally think its such a beautiful perfume.
Firstly, I can smell it on my sister for hours. And as soon as she comes, the whole room/area would fill up with Blanche. It is a very wearable scent, very pleasant. It is crisp and clean. There is something very innocent and simple about it too. If I were to describe the scent using the notes I would agree that the soft aldehyde and very soft white musk is the most dominant with a mixture of soft florals throughout. It somehow also reminds me of baby scents, like the Switzal or Johnson&Johnson baby soaps. Perhaps this is why I also consider it a very comforting and soft scent. It gives a feeling of happiness. I know perhaps for some people it is not worth it as Byredo is such an upscale brand, but I think the scent is absolutely gorgeous.
DewyrTopalihog – :
150 dollar for smell of the laundry detergent. I don’t understand the perfumery anymore where it goes. If it launched under Demeter or something else, I could buy to smell clean only.
k_yaron – :
It is a beautiful, safe fragrance but I feel like it does not have lasting power.
zhidkoff – :
The name is very fitting: if you ever wanted to know what Blanche Devereaux smells like, it’s probably this. Not for me.
RamzesRomano – :
This smells like fresh laundry. Like you have washed you clothes with a very cheap washing powder. There is also some sweetness, which makes it smell rather immature. For me this is NOT worth the money.
kapetos – :
Smells like a Clean scent, cheap, soapy and linear. Its for you who want to smell like a teenage girl.
555toha5 – :
Yes it is clean, simple and feminine but unique. It is like a perfumed cotton ball forgotten in a glass bottle. It is a confortable scent. I can’t feel rose or any natural note but I like it a lot. It’s elegant.
I used to love complexe scents but that is past. I m achieving more fresh uplifting and femme perfumes. Byredo and F. Malle are great propositions. I feel I a have many options to try from both. Bal d afrique is a fav.
stepan74 – :
This scent reminds me of Noxema, Dep hair gel and Brooklyn on September 10th, 2001. My first love and his 4th floor Cobble Hill walkup, the dotcom boom going bust and the sunset across the East River. There was vodka in the freezer and tomorrow the skyline would change forever. He was a Capricorn and everything was always just so, he swept the floors and folded laundry. He was always clean. I remember the smell of his crispy hair, his freshly shaven face. His flannel sheets that he’d get cleaned at the Chinese Laundry around the block, extra fabric softener for $.50 more. He looked like Link Wray but was a sysadmin. The ouroboros of loads of laundry between machines.
grafn80 – :
After trying this a several times when I was in my trip around Denmark and Norway.I am glad that I ended up buying a 50ml bottle in Oslo on my last day there.The scarf I sprayed on the scent lasted for days,I could still got whiff wearing it around my neck.A nice safe clean scent!Nothing wow nothing complicated only peaceful state of mind.It goes very well for the nature and simple life over there.It made me feel very relax and calm.Like a true love that made your life perfectly in peace and still.Absolutely like it!
borisbratsk – :
An aggressively clean scent. Laundry and talcum powder. On a hot day it might dry down to a very lovely musk but the conventional nature of the scent makes it not-so-exciting. Like the other Byredo smells I have sampled (and own), this is a very mid-range quality perfume brand. Their nose needs a bit of refinement. That being said, it could be given to anyone you know obsessed with keeping their house impeccably tidy but for those looking for an adventure or to fall in love–look away!!
DrPiligrim – :
Old fashioned soap bar. Headache after 10 minutes, had to wash this thing off my wrists.
If you were into the original “Clean” perhaps you would like “Blanche” which is much stronger than “Clean”.
My least favorite of all Byredo scents.
son-72 – :
I love love love this scent but to me it is for layering not for alone wear! Try with Dyptique Vetyvero for a fresh crist twist or with YSL Cinema to make it an evening scent
BOG304 – :
“Laundry Detergent Intense”
Very aldehyde-heavy. Not even laundry detergent smells this much like laundry detergent (if that makes any sense).
If you love “clean” scents, give this a try!
dvf802Bessinepome – :
Byredo Blanche is mainly a musky floral with a heavy dose of rose from its onset, in contrast to more yellow floral La Tulipe. Blanche, like La Tulipe, is fresh, traditionally feminine-leaning, and somewhat fleeting, but is agreeable in its composition.
Other supporting notes include pink pepper, sandalwood, and other florals like peony, and these foster subtle nuances, making it more interesting than boring but ultimately a little unconvincing for its retail or even discounted Byredo pricing. I might be interested in a bottle for $25 but not for 5-10 times that. Still, a pleasant scent that’s worthy of trying. This is one of the more balanced florals I’ve tried previously.
7 out of 10
onx954Unlogrere – :
Reviews here have linked Blanche to the smell of laundry or linen, and I don’t get that at all. To me, it reminds me of a sweet carbonated beverage sort of like Sprite but less sweet. The carbonation is perhaps to the aldehyde. For some reason, I find Chanel L’eau No. 5 very similar to this, again, perhaps because of aldehyde.
Blanche is more soapy. While some would argue that this is too expensive where you can find a cheaper scent, I would argue that the price is justified because of the dry down. It stays true to itself until the very end. Cheaper fragrances tend to morph into something else that is unpleasant. I find that when I stay away from department store fragrances and spend a bit more, I get to avoid the drydown morphing. Blanche does not turn into something else. It is clean and clean only. On my skin, it makes my skin smell like sweet skin and not a scent that is sweet that sticks on my skin.
If a scent can conjure a color, to me, Blanche makes me think of the color blue like chambray and how one would want to smell when they have on a chambray shirt.
kostyaa1965 – :
ok so i just keep adding more items of blanche into my life, i now just need to wait until byredo releases more stuff, because trust me i want to douse in this, is that good.
in design school they always say simple is harder and i agree with perfume is the same simple is not the same as boring blanche is amazing yet simple.
igor- – :
In my country (Iran), It’s kind of a custom to wash the carpets at the very last days of the year, to get cleaned and ready for the New Year to come. I spent my childhood whole in a house with a vast yard and a great green garden, and we used to wash the carpets once a year in that big yard. But why do I talk about those days? The notes of Byredo Blanch, bit by bit, remind me of those days. It’s soapy: Just like the moments we scattered the washing-powder on wet surface of the carpet. It’s cooling: just like the moments we knelt on the wet carpet to wash it with washing brush- I can feel the chill of the water coming up from my legs and spreading through my body (♥). It evokes brightness in my mind: just like the moments we finished the work and laid on the wet surface of warmed-by-sun mosaics of the yard floor, and watched the rays of sun scattering throughout the clouds.
It’s not my cup of tea, but I will buy it for sure to retain a piece of nostalgic memories of my childhood days in a bottle.
zazatik – :
This review is for the hair perfume. It is my go to after a light workout or yoga when I need a quick refresh. Quick rinse, dry shampoo and then this in your hair is a great way to freshen up. Light white floral, lovely and clean. I get compliments all the time and last week even got a “delicious” from my husbands boss, no less! While some note the clean simple smell, it is really lovely for the hair perfume. Modern and minimalist spray looks lovely alongside my Chanel and La Prarie products!
seruj90 – :
The previous reviewer, who said this smells like ones hands after washing with a pleasant rose scented soap, was DEAD ON. There is a sweetness to this too, and also an unexpected cool cucumber smell that wafts up occasionally. This is layered and beautifully blended at the same time, like all Byredo scents.
Wolves – :
simply, laundry clean smell, nothing more nothing less, wouldn’t buy it again cause there is lots of cheaper options that smells the same if not better FOR EXAMPLE
( clean’s fragrances )
SUPERLISICHKA80 – :
To my nose, this is straight aldehydic floral. It is a bright scent, and I agree with other reviewers that there’s a crisp cleanness to Blanche. The fragrance is intense, but not overpowering, and seems like a good Spring fragrance, to me.
stilist555 – :
This came in a discovery set, falls into the sort of “industrial clean” scent category which I generally really dislike (ex. Clean perfumes, Pure Grace by Philosophy etc.), this was no exception.
p_yuriy – :
My favorite Byredo. It’s clean, fresh and can be worn everyday. Yet it’s not boring either… there’s something else here beneath the cleanliness. Although it has good projection and great sillage, you can wear it anywhere and it won’t offend. I’m addicted and can’t get enough of this scent and love to re-spray throughout the day.
Jackie – :
Blanche by Byredo is clean aldehydes, crisp peony, soft musk, soapy orange blossom, and lush rose with just a pinch of pepper. This fragrance reminds me of cold tap water. Imagine wading out into a clear icy river that feels bone chilling yet refreshing at the same time. You bend your knees slipping below the surface before standing back up and inhaling. You feel the current pushing against you and the smooth stones beneath your feet. You feel awake and alive as you look at the beautiful scenery around you. Stepping back out on to the riverbank you pick up your towel and wrap it around you smelling the soapy detergent you use to wash your linens. Smiling as the wind combs through your wet hair. I think Byredo is such an amazing fragrance brand because each one of their scents truly conjures up a memory. A time, a place, a color, a feeling can all be brought to the forefront of your mind and that is pretty powerful considering scent in the strong sense tied to memory. Blanch is a beautiful fragrance, I absolutely love it and it definitely embodies tranquility and serenity.
n04n1k – :
Like the other Byredo fragrances I’ve tried, this smells “layered.” That is, what I smell on my skin when I put my nose to it is different from what wafts to my nose all day. I very much prefer the layer that travels up to my nose, as it’s more feminine, exquisite, and pleasant. If only this fragrance was a single layer of that note. The multiple dimensions you get simultaneously make Byredo perfumes so deceptive and a little annoying to be honest.
Overall, this perfume evokes a baby nursery room that is super cute, tidy, and cozy with muted colors… something you would see in a kid’s storybook illustration.
kacya – :
I expected Byredo Blanche to be a hazy cloud of soapy “whiteness”, and it opens almost like this: clean powdery white musk with cool aldehyde, except that the aldehyde feels fizzy and not in the sharp soapy way that I despise.
Interestingly, during the first two hours, the aldehyde, while initially bond within the white musk, starts to emerge, like high towers covered by metallic surfaces break through the cloud. The cool aldehyde now feels even more fizzy and kind of minty. It tingles the nose, but in a vibrant, dynamic way, like the effervescent bubbles of a gin cocktail.
However, the aldehyde bubbles are not meant to last, just like the bubbles in a soft drink. Starting from the third hour, the cool aldehyde is now again enclosed in the white musk cloud. While the fragrance still retains a cool, almost minty feeling, it also becomes more muddy and gets surprisingly sweet when the abstract floral, almost rosy/orange blossom undertone becomes more apparent.
Blanche is fairly linear afterwards. The sillage is moderate to soft, and the longevity is around 7 hours.
I would say Blanche is a clean, cool, modern white fragrance alright, but its almost murky white musk in the dry down does not evoke to me the freshly washed laundry hung under the sun like Serge Lutens L’Eau or Narciso Rodriguez Essence do, both being more transparent and luminous. Instead, it makes me think of laundry on a grey day, which is unable to get dry in time and starts to develop the earthy humid sweetness. I would recommend it to those who enjoy clean white musk and cool aldehyde in general, but I do think it’s more opaque and sweeter than a few in the same genre.
Joker007 – :
Smells like clean towels or nice kids soap. I have couple of Byredo but this one is a fall… I can enjoy light perfume too, but this is tooo plain. Unless you just want to spent $200 for a hand soap smell, then I guess go for it.
iwm221Negeltzex – :
I read a ton of reviews before ordering a handful of samples – and to be honest, the reviews had me expecting to not like this at all.
I thought it would be the “meh” scent of the bunch, but wanted to get as many as I could so I threw it in the cart.
Just goes to show how unique each of our preferences are, because to me, this is luxurious.
Luxury to me is definitely not how others would perceive it to be. I’m not drawn to rich scents, occasionally, but more often than not I’m drawn to airy and fresh scents.
This feels like cashmere to me, pale blue cashmere with early morning light, white sunshine… I can totally see wearing this on a cool winter morning.
This is both comforting and refreshing. The aldehydes are truly modern here – no sharp lines or harsh edges. I actually adore soapy notes and am getting none, so maybe it’s just my chemistry. This dies down into an rosy, -almost- milky, sweet musk.
It opens like fresh air on me, no distinct notes, the floral notes are all blended seamlessly. I get a slightly fuzzy feel from this, but it’s all at such a distance that it’s not overwhelming and just the opposite – this calms me. Like wearing cashmere.
I do see why many people would be irritated by this, being so expensive, yet so light.
I get decent longevity from Blanche – about 4 hours if sprayed moderately and I’m assuming if paired with the oil or lotion, 5-6 hours.
You cannot over spray this one, you just need to be okay with justifying the price tag.
~minimalist heaven~
beVOgr – :
I don’t hate soapy scents as I used to before,I even enjoy them when I’m in the right mood but I can’t convince myself to buy them when they cost an arm and a leg
Byredo blanche is a modern aldehydic fragrance,starts with a burst of aldehydes,bright,clean and sharp,,I can’t smell nothing,but aldehydes for a couple of minutes,but after ten minutes they calm down and linger on skin in combination with a clean musk..I can’t smell that much of other notes,just some floral sharpness of peony and some violets
Soapy fragrances are not my things but I don’t hate this one because it’s not too sharp and musk adds a very faint hint of sweetness,but it’s still too much laundry clean..albeit I love clean scents,but when they smell like a clean skin washed with luxurious products and moistened with a nice body lotion,not cleanness of washed towels and white sheets
It’s longlasting but sillage is soft,almost a skinscent
❤❤
P.s:it reminds me smell of newly washed hands with a rosey soap..now I like it more but still not as a costy niche perfume but I would like it as a non expensive bodymist(I have a bodymist named fresh white musk,it’s musk+aldehydes+white florals,this one can pass as a rosey flanker of that one)
windfury – :
This is such a minimalistic scent that it is almost cliché. It’s like an Instagram feed filled with superclean white (Scandinavian) homes. A white, shiny, super tidy desk with expensive stationary and a cup of black coffee.
BUT, there is always a but. I LIKE IT! This actually smells like the Byredo bottles look like.
This is a modern aldehyde fragrance, nothing sharp about it, and it marries the musk beautifully. But alas, it is soapy and you could ABSOLUTELY find a cheaper alternative.
It just goes with the theme I guess, an overpriced perfume, and a 900 dollar plain white table to put it on. And then add a ficus. And a filter.
adk840speagoessenda – :
This perfume makes me think of Switzerland… which is strange because I’ve never been to Switzerland. It conjures up images of nuns in white habits by a bright blue seaside and silver screen actresses taking spa retreats to Europe for their “constitution” back in the 20’s. Its a soapy clean, light floral scent with a heart of white musk and a slight peppery note to keep it from falling into bland. For such a clean and simple scent, its incredibly evocative. I’m really enjoying this scent today-its perfect for a relaxed errands-only kind of sunday.
бе-бе-бе – :
I bought the oil rollerball at net-a-porter almost a year ago, so I guess I wasn’t all that into this fragrance for a while. Now that I’ve come to really like aldehydes (which are all I can smell in this perfume), I carry his rollerball in my purse to work now that it’s spring and it smells very light and clean. I’m really an oriental, powerhouse kind of woman but I work as a home remodeler and this one fells like it keeps me smelling less sweaty and covered in drywall dust. I don’t think I will buy this again, though. Just too linear and modern/minima
Istic, and I prefer something sexier.
skinart – :
I thought I would get a nice clean, fresh little white musk/floral. But NO!
Made me burst out laughing when I sprayed it on. Straight up Dubble Bubble Bubble Gum on me. And that is how it stayed. LMFAO! Really. That is it on my skin. It’s a full on candy sweet crystallized sugar gourmand on me. Nothing soapy, floral, or musky. Just Bubble Gum. Nummy. LOL
kotyara110 – :
I strongly disagree the comment below that this perfume smells like Paris Hilton Heiress. I used to own Heiress and they do not smell similar at all. Heiress smells more like tropical fruit/bubble gum while Blanche smells like fresh fluffy white towels straight from dryer.
Blanche is definitely not the kind of perfume that makes you feel sexy – I have other perfumes for that. It’s inoffensive, innocent and delightful scent. I like the fact that it does not shout out “I AM WEARING A PERFUME PEOPLE PLEASE SMELL ME”. I am a person who really appreciate clean and soapy scents and Blanche is the best one of those.
EmissorEnring – :
I’m almost offended that someone could charge over a hundred dollars for what essentially smells like laundry detergent or soap. I recommend saving your money and trying Byredo’s other more interesting scents or purchasing the many comparable clean soap/detergent fragrances that already exist at more reasonable prices.
DontTry – :
yes i see why it’s named white however i join the soapy washing powder vote. It almost tickles the nose and not in a nice way. Really not for me. Linear and not at all sexy. I don’t pick up much violet- just soap- reasonable longevity and thankfully not great silage.I have smelt better fabric conditioner. The bottle design is the best thing i can say about this scent. A bad blind buy.
Pichhandzze – :
totally agree that blanche = laundry. clean, detergent, soapy. it reminds me of the Clean range of perfumes if you know which brand i’m referring to, and which is more competitively priced. i was in stockholm’s NK department store and chanced upon Byredo, wanted to buy something as my souvenir of Sweden. tested a few fragrances and there was one i really liked, maybe it was green? forgot which it was and when i asked the retail assistant about the scent, she pointed out that it was Blanche. i just took her word for it but after bringing the bottle home, realised it wasn’t the one i wanted. but anyhow. it’s ok to use casually (though at that price!!). i’m definitely not buying this one again
diss000 – :
Let me tell you something shocking.
This perfume smells so similiar to Paris Hiltons Heiress that it’s hard to tell them apart.
It’s not just my nose either, several people agreed with me when I asked them to compare the two.
So if you like Byredo Blanche but not the horrendous pricetag, go get Heiress instead. Because nobody will be able to tell the difference!
sody – :
one of the best .. the sense of this perfume just make you cant resist it .. its very prefect for mornings and esp summer day .. I also have the hair perfume its just killing
Alexandrasav – :
I bought and returned this. I don’t like writing negative reviews but unfortunately this one just doesn’t work for me. It smells really artificial and astringent. It smells like lemony washing powder with a screeching metallic vibe. Gave me a really bad headache. Definitely try on your skin before you buy.
SexualGordon – :
Sorry, but Blanche smells like febreze to me.
NipoccapCat – :
i just got blanche and i am in loooooove so nice , awesome is clean but not laundry clean , just a lovely skin scent makes me feel so fresh
Cipostarfer – :
I´m not sure how I can give Blanche a fair review. But I´ll try. Actually it is quite elegant for the first minute or so. In the long run I find it boring and to linear, I might be wrong but to me it is very simple and probably built of few raw materials. It smells synthetic (nothing wrong with that) but personally I would prefer some more complexity. Well done but it could be better. Great longevity though.
TinsVillLiz – :
Sweet clean air , coming from laundry dried outside in the wind.
I really like this fragrance , for a clean soapy kind of perfume this is perfect. It’s not a wow scent it’s just really pleasant for some days when you want to have that clean showered feel of “no perfume ” ,,, maybe on a hot day, or an interview , or just as an everyday clean feel. ,,,Blanche is just that , I love all the notes in it so no wonder I am a fan.
Besides being a soapy and clean fresh scent this also has some elegance to it, like an aloof feeling. Think Iris Poudre , Frederic Malle !
The name Blanche is perfect for this fragrance , I love when the name really matches the smell, also the bottles are a piece of art , simplistic, minimalistic with a magnetic top. Luxury in a minimal style. My type of idea of beauty.
In the sense of less is more. A lot more !
Aldehydes are clean and sparkly and add that soapy quality. Rose makes this fresh and violets sweet and a little powdery , and musk , in here is white clean musk, nothing dirty about this fragrance ,,,the sandalwood grounds this yummy cloud into a nice cozy base , well done scent and one to consider !
Also lots of soapy aldehyde scents of that genere are rather old fashioned and this one is more modern which may appeal to some.
Feagiania – :
One of the first thing that drew me to it was actually the name. It fits the scent perfectly. It was my first and most used Byredo; I bought it in Milan and I asked the lady straight forward for clean and she gave me this. Did not disappoint. True that it’s nothing groundbreaking, but I love it more and more each day and a lot of people compliment me for it.
arsikxxx – :
Cold aldehydes, musk and some white flowers….The same kind of perfume as L’Eau Serge Lutens – laundry- detergent-fresh, minimal and cyber-modern, unisex, reserved and non-inviting. It brings in my mind Wall Street’s brokers with brilliant-white shirts, tense and concentrated, who in certain point seem to be more robots than persons… (The image created by films, TV news ecc.,I’ve never been in WS, haha ;-).
Silage moderate, longevity 8 hours.
LemoDemssin – :
Blanche is a beautiful, soft fragrance easy to wear on a warm day or any time of year. Makes you feel fresh like you just stepped out of the shower. I feel it is more of a casual, office friendly scent as it is light, not overpowering but at the same time sophisticated. Anyone of all ages can wear this. I even wear it to bed sometimes on a cool night as it is a very comforting scent and wears close to the skin. If you like soapy, clean, lightly powdery perfumes then this one will be a good one to try.
LoveHardGame – :
This is a very clean and light floral. Very soft, but so light. It does not over power your senses. It is very pretty, but for the price, I would want it to last longer on me as the scent dissipated with a few hours.
I think it is a very casual scent. Something you wear when you are relaxing or going out for some quick errands.
Very nice and light.
sgans – :
My 9 years old son told:”It smells like a wind…”
korg55 – :
The musk note is the leading in this fragrance. It smells like a soap powder. Nothing impressive.
sirtobaccodle – :
Smells like soap or linnen died outside in the garden. It is fresh and just tigny bitt sweet. Very pleasant to wear, soft and quiet. For those days that you dont want to wear a perfume or want to rest.
mvm – :
‘Pear-drop clean’. This smells just like the taste of pear-drop boiled sweets.
That mixed with a ‘clean’ element.
Makes a nice change from the normal clothes-washing powder ‘clean’ frags.
I’m more into ‘darker’ frags really but if I ever want a ‘clean’ frag, this one’s top of the list, very pleasant if not very long-lasting.
ager7736 – :
Fresh and clean every-day-scent. Perfect for officewomen. Not loud but there all around you for several hours. Worth the money – not sure.. Maybe I would pick EL White Linen insted – they are not the same at all, but the freshness is there in both.
Fräsch och “ren” varje-dag-doft. Perfekt för kontorskvinnan. Inte högljudd men ändå där runt dig i många timmar. Värd pengarna – inte säker. Jag tror jag skulle välja EL White Linen istället -de är inte likadana men de har samma fräscha känsla.
Aklim – :
Io non lo sento così femminile. Assolutamente no da etichettarlo come profumo per sole donne! Io lo uso, mi piace, mi piace sentire addosso profumo di pulito, di candido, sembra come se indossassi dei panni appena lavati e asciugati al sole. Per ora mi piace, ed anche molto!
NattyPor – :
Light and breezy, Blanche is like fresh linen with an ever-so-slight whiff of white flowers and sweet sandalwood. It’s nice enough but has left me underwhelmed. I was expecting a little more va va voom, especially considering the hefty price tag associated with this concoction! Sillage is very low and the perfume only lasts for a few hours.
This would be a great fragrance for someone prone to headaches with stronger scents.
agrai – :
There is something strangely appealing about smelling clean and airy. It tends to stem from society’s focus on good hygiene, therefore the fresher you smell, the more attractive you feel.
Byredo’s Blanche does smell like clean laundry and delicate floral soaps. It’s appropriately named, with Blanche meaning white. When I picture the colour white, I think simple, clean and innocent.
It’s not really my cup of tea this fragrance, however I do enjoy its fresh and clean approach. In the beginning, especially after the first spritz, I expected Blanche to be a clean musk scent, similar to Kiehl’s Original Musk, however the aldehydes and florals prevented it from becoming too predictable.
Peony, violet and orange blossom make a surprisingly seamless blend. I would most likely crave this fragrance for either bed-time or warm Spring days. However I do have to be in the right mood to wear it.
Byredo’s Blanche does lack complexity, and even at times, lacks longevity. I have to agree with other reviewers that have pointed out that there are many cheaper alternatives available. I doubt that I would pay full price for something so simple, even if it is pretty.
I find it a little similar to L’Artisan L’Ete en Douce, with both of these fragrances having that strong laundry vibe. It’s a like, but unfortunately not a love.
elena_2_3_4 – :
I came to Byredo BLANCHE with zero preconceptions about this house, and my immediate reaction was “reminds me of Costume National SCENT SHEER.” So, yes, it has that white noise, minimalist vibe. This composition seems a bit more complex and slightly green. The violet here must be violet leaves, because it is not at all sweet.
The musk is clean, but this is not really my kind of thing. To me this is a unisex scent in a somewhat negative way: rather sterile and uninviting. I’m sure that others would like this, but to me it smells a bit like laundry starch.
Try before you buy.
