Reminds me of Bandit, but also smells like marijuana on me. Weird, but interesting.

Familiar Chanel no. 19 opening with Estee Lauder’s Azuree ending. Nothing new, but a lovely vintage/green/leather. Lasts ages and projects well.

Le Sillage Blanc is the first fragrance I’ve tried–and I’ve tried a few now–that I totally love, and that I want to smell like. It is a deep, bitter green–it makes me think of breaking a dandelion stem–but rich and rounded, not frothy or sharp. It never fails to make me feel good when I smell it. It is also the only fragrance I’ve yet smelled that I think is genuinely unisex. There is a sensual, bitter edge to Le Sillage Blanc that I think can be as masculine or feminine as the person owning it, but from my perspective it also responds well to being “girlied up” with an ultralight floral on top. This is one to wear with purpose.

I loved the top more than the base. This goes on a very dry smokey vetiver then gets more herbal and less smokey as it develops. The main notes on the skin are artemisia, leather, oakmoss and galbanum.

Unfortunately there is something in this that literally makes me gag when i smell close up. Nothing i have come across before has done this to me.

LE SILLAGE BLANC
Life was once a lost tale,
I was less rich and less sweet,
Like when snow falls,
And my garden of flowers fades,
But now the winter has come,
With essence of leather and dark woods,
Like my cold lips echoing your name,
Bringing me in your wonderland,
Where my heart dances,
And souls rests.
My Rating:10/10
Thanks Pissara for such a wonderful creation.

Electric and sparkling. Pissara is really a talent, i am now discovering her perfumes and I was really surprised by the quality and complexity. The sillage blanc is a melancholy memory, like fallen leaves like an old house in the woods… it evokes in me all this. A complex parfume chypre where oakmoss and galbanum dominate. the neroli whispers in the distance, i also notice the leather note but not so heavy. Very nice!

Vent Vert.. my old friend. My it’s good to see you again!
I read somewhere that Balmain’s original Vent Vert was composed of nearly 1100 ingredients, which is now whittled down to 31 in the new formula. My thoughts below are based on a side-by-side of Dusita’s Sillage Blanc and the 1970’s Vent Vert square bottle — before the 4-round reformulatory bastardization (polka dot cap), to its eventual immolation (diluted disco ball cap).
These 2 beauties, born over a half century apart, have marked resemblance. From the weak-in-the-knees Galbanum opening through the oakmoss evolution. Dusita on the right hand, VV on the left. Only slight nuances differentiate these two: Sillage Blanc serves up a double-shot of bitters in the opening (galbanum x artemisia ) whereas Vent Vert goes without wormwood. Whiffs of tobacco appear in Dusita’s dry down- absent in VV. They’re similar even in projection & longevity.
At $205 for 50mL and no grey market listing, Sillage Blanc’s in a stratospheric price range. But given the cost of vintage Vent Vert, this is actually not a bad deal. You are SO on the Wanted List Dusita.. and I’m coming to get you.

Le Sillage Blanc comes from the same breed as Vero’s Mito. Beautifully blended, crisply bitter green, borderline herbal, a timeless classic like a Jag E in English racing green with camel leather seats. The white floral notes lend a smidgen of graceful feminity for me, like myself in the same Jag E with a white scarf looped about my hair a la Grace Kelly. Le Sillage Blanc isn’t about feminine or masculine though. I can see Cary Grant wearing this too.
Scents like Le Sillage Blanc make me feel that I should do them justice by reading Pushkin while enjoying them like Armagnac or brandy (insert poison of choice here to be drunk in solitude).
Projection and longevity are both good.
Would I purchase a bottle? Yes and no. Yes if I had the cash to splash and obviously no if I had to make a toss up with others on my want list currently. While I do enjoy Pushkin on occasion, I’m much more of a Marian Keyes or Jilly Cooper person on a regular day.

Just recently got the sample of this, after reading so many positive reviews. On me – in a warm summer day – opens up with some intense herbs, very green, like bitter crushed greens. that last for about 30-45 minutes, and after that – almost identical to Terre d’Hermes, but like an intense version of it. Anyone else finds it similar to TdH?
vova998 – :
A take no prisoners retro style scent, not for the faint of heart. Come on strong and doesn’t die down. I get no artemisia but this fragrance hardly needs any more power.
serejka75 – :
2017 Cabochard with an Asian twist & kind of oudi.
I believe it became quite interesting since she included some cloves, and oud as the dominants are artemisia, & oakmoss.
Quite leathery, tobaccoish, slightly spicy, mildly oudi, & smoky. In my opinion, the patchouli is adding something more oriental beside the oud which makes it exceptional.
It is not a new creation cause Cabochard was there years ago, but i can’t deny the extreme quality of this fragrance, it’s modern twist, AND i feel this blend belongs more to Asian side, cause it’s more oriental, soft, and spicy while French are more delicate, tender, and romantic.

I applied my sample when I had no access to the internet, so I did not know the notes in advance, and what I detected from this perfume is very different from the notes and from others. I immediately suspected that artemesia was in it. It has that unmistakeable green scent that is as tangy as citrus yet you know it’s not citrus. That was by far and wide the biggest note to me. Then I noticed the unmistakable scent of galbanum, herbal and bitter. So basically I smelled a melange of green herbs that was conjuring memories of Eau de Sud without citrus.
The perfume seemed linear for hours, but after 3-4 hours, it began to smell just a tad smoky, yet continued to smell very herbal. I thought it might be matcha. It also became a bit musky (clean musk, not animalic) It could certainly pass for an herbal, green tea perfume, but I was very shocked to see leather and tobacco in the notes as I didn’t get those at all. I also never picked up any florals, though I tried and tried because most perfumes have flower notes in them, but I could not find any here.
Never did I consider this a vintage-type of fragrance. Never crossed my mind. To me it’s a very well-done herbal fragrance. I have been looking for one just like this, so it was a pleasant surprise. It had great longevity and sillage in the 80F heat. It felt refreshing, bright and uplifting but with some heft in the base to make it interesting. I don’t like citrus fragrances, so this really hit the spot for me as fresh and clean, yet no citrus. FB desired!

Umavijani Pissara has never made a secret of her love for “vintage perfumes”
i.e., the perfumes that once were in the first decades of the last century even,
the last decades of the nineteenth century. the ‘fondatrice’ and CEO of the now
famous “maison de parfums niche” Parfums Dusita loves Piguets 1844s “Bandit”
to this, to this “agressive leather” clad cigarette smoking Marguerite Duras,
Simone de Beauvoir, Gabrielle “Coco” Chanel smoking-cursing “Cuir de Russie”
ladies, Colette, Mistinguett, Fréhel; Umavijani (“Uma”, “Ploi”) now made this
wonderful modern rendition of such “foul perfume” emancipatory strengthening
“les Suffragettes” and the ever, ever ongoing battle for women to own their duly
righteous place under the sun in a hegemonial monomaniakal masculinist world:
“male chauvinist pigs” still often coming with their heads above the acacialine
while not all men are…..eeeeh, antifeminists, misogynistic autofetichists and mme.
Dusita is the lady who would never put it this way but her “Sillage Blanc” is all
relevant again (a bit sideays and implicite) leaving a modern ultrafeminine trail
“Le Sillage Blanc” hasn’t lost one iiota of the daring empreinte of her leftist
sister and opens right away with all the right bitters and adstringent green accords.
oakmoss, patchouli, galbanum (a persian umbelliflorum), artemisia and … leather.
yet like all the perfumes of Parfums Dusita this perfume isn’t just a sum of the
ingredients but manages to add (Uma, that is) an overall “impressum”: sillage
which overcharacterises this perfume as modern, postmodern, different and chic.
galbanum (of which a resin is won) smells like a greener green, oakmos has this
almost homely (as how it could be under querqueus robur) adstringancy like also
assamtea has, with all the in our genome stored anciennity of a forestrial floor, on
which we set our first steps as antropomorphous beings (not that that was such
blessing for the world). so “Le Sillage Blanc” conveys some kind of universal
forestrial-riverial dreamscape of the power of the vegetality. yet this is also that
parfum de parisianité, the toc toc of the giuseppe zanotti heeled boulevardières
de nuit, or the stately women dressed in chanel, dior, versace eclectic fashionable
in patchwork highly and densely coloured leather ensured, empowered within
the iCloud of this magnificent perfume: strong présence as the feminine without
doubt always were towards tokens of masculinity. the flowers in this perfume:
neroli and orange blossom add to a certain complexity giving this perfume zest
(plus the cigarette note with the tabac…..)

Reminds me of Narciso Rodriguez for Him EDP just higher quality and more expensive. Very beautiful.
roseta – :
At first a dense Canvas of Patch, Oakmoss, Ganja. Leathery feel with a good dose of Galbanum. Salty and dry Tobacco touched with Ambrette provides a sour smokiness that almost puckers.Reminiscent accord of peppery Nasturtium.
The Neroli and Orange Blossom bring what little sugar content this has and presents as a Whispering float above it all.
This may not appeal to those who expect a dose of Candy Floral.
Visually, if you change the angle of observation, what is revealed is rather large photo or picture, green and lush set against a massive flat, brightly lit, silent, white wall. Getting back to reality.
Another beautiful, luxurious gem from a Favourite House. It leans Masculine, however will attract all who are delighted with Bitter Greens, Oakmoss on a canvas of bleached wood. A lick of gorgeous blossomed savon and voluminous whiff of… well, Ganja. To boot.

Le Sillage Blanc is a true masterpiece of perfumery! It´s one of those perfumes that will go down in history as a classic.
All ingredients are so well put together, and according to its creator Pissara Umavijani it came together by a strike of luck, I´d say divine intervention… Her first attempt of blending it hit the mark immediately and there was no need for adjustments. It takes true talent to realize this, to know when the formula was right, even if it happened sooner than expected.
Every time I have worn it Le Sillage Blanc has garnered compliments. It has immense staying power and projection and I really love the subtle use of patchouly here. With the rich amount of oakmoss it creates a base on which artemisia and galbanum can work wonders in the top.
Now I´m counting the days for the full bottles to be released for sale, I´ll definitely be among the first in line for this gem to be a part of my collection.

Vintage, not vintage. So good the true vintage/retro is coming back (not the synthetic jokes like Robert Piguet) but houses who know how to work with rare precious naturals and how to construct elaborate formulas which refer to times when perfume was a luxury not a duty free filler.
Le Sillage is a beautiful galbanum, a bit of a diva of a material. So the floral notes and the rest of the formula serve as corps-de-ballet.
grafinchic999 – :
Although we see some niche brands exploring chypre perfumes in their lines, Le Sillage Blanc is a rare case where you can see without much effort the vintage inspiration of its chypre leather. It is quite interesting how Le Sillage Blanc refers to the unforgettable Bandit of Robert Piguet in its splendor combining a very green and slightly bitter note of galbanum to a nuance of rubber leather. It is possible to see Sillage Blanc through the eyes of 2 other perfumes that have suffered creative influences from Bandit, Cabochard and Aramis, being linked mainly to bitter herbal aspect opening of Aramis. What sets it apart from them, however, is precisely the balance between the vintage leather chypre aura and a successful attempt to make them less heavy, certainly a reference to the luminosity of the poem that makes its way into the cold, arid air. It is also interesting to note that there is a certain creamy and vanilla sweetness counterbalancing the heavier aspect, a combination that also positions Le Sillage Blanc in the contemporary scenario. And altough 2 of the fragrances that Sillage Blanc references are feminine ones its aura seems certainly more masculine in the current fragrance scenario.

This is “white Bandit”. And I’m in pure heaven.
Le Sillage Blanc is the brighter alter ego of Bandit. Where Bandit goes dark, Le Sillage Blanc brings light. You know how on film what is dark becomes white? That is how I see Pissara’s interpretation of Bandit in Le Sillage Blanc. It’s more airy, more sparkling, more ethereal, more modern, but make no mistake, the Bandit is there. The greens are just fresher and the entire feel is different, but it’s like the greatest flanker of Bandit you could imagine.
Le Sillage Blanc is like Bandit in a different mood. Imagine Bandit as a dark, stormy forest, Le Sillage Blanc is like the light and sun peeping in between the branches. The green lush forest is still there, but with a glimmer of sparkling brightness and joy. It’s like Bandit on Prozac.
There are elements of Cabochard and Azuree, among other classic green chypres, but I find it most closely related to vintage Bandit (yellow box) but masterfully reworked into a modern, fresher, lighter (and more crowd pleasing) version. This is my favorite category of fragrance and I have a new one to add to my favorite list. This is gorgeous and I’m so excited that the classic chypre is being reintroduced to possibly a new audience via Dusita. If you love the chypres it is being compared to, you will fall in love with Le Sillage Blanc.
It’s one of the nicest green chypres I have ever smelled. I have anticipated trying Le Sillage Blanc more than any fragrance in quite some time and sometimes a large build up can lead to a let down. But not in this case. It’s stunning and I am beyond thrilled to see someone bringing this style back into the forefront, in a new way yet still retaining a classic, vintage feel. 10/10 for me.

Absolutely gorgeous leather and moss. Damp, soft and smooth, sweet, creamy and comforting. Truly stunning. A masterpiece.
vovik369 – :
Those who know Vintage Cabochard,Bandit and Lauder for Men will recognize this.
Sillage Blanc is like an Original Audio Mastertape.
Pristine.
There is an intoxicating Ganja quality that lifts to the Heavens.
Another charmer from Dusita.

This is such a beautiful and unique fragrance. To me, it is more green than white as far as color associations go. I’m not aware of the herbal aspect but perhaps it is influencing my impressions at the subliminal level.
It is a delicate but straightforward leather scent with an undercurrent of a fresh and watery sweat aspect.
That sounds weird but what I imagine is an athletic teenage girl, freshly showered and reluctantly wearing white kidskin gloves in the heat.
All of the Dusita fragrances I’ve tried have a mood and this one is quite bright and cheerful with an undercurrent of melancholy. Here the scent captures not just this girl with her charm and freshness but also a shadow of the future.
This fragrance is described as a tribute to Bandit and it has the same uncompromising, unsweetened bitter green leather accord but without all the smoke and skank. This is Bandit before the war, still living in the happy innocence of her country childhood.
Straightforward and truly unisex. This is beautiful work.

This is destined to be a classic. A crisp floral opening, heightened by artemisia and galbanum, swells into a leather chypre of pure mossy brilliance. This one is stunning.
