Average citrus-floral tea fragrance

Brecourt EAU BLANCHE hits me as a cross between an average tea fragrance and an average citrus floral fragrance. It's not as rich as the best of either category but reminds me a bit of Banana Republic W in its citrus florality and a bit of one of the Bvlgari tea fragrances in its tea-fulness. Not very exciting actually. As a result, I'm not really inspired to say much more about it here, and I'm sure that I won't be seeking it out. If I had a bottle, I might spray it on while dashing out the door. Then again, why not wear W instead?

Perhaps there are nuances and virtues which I am missing. Then again, maybe not.

Too citrusy...

I'm so disappointed, I was searching for a good tea fragrance and it wasn't it...

The citrus are super strong and overpowers the green note, the perfume is fresh, quite sweet and SUPER citrusy.

Which gives more a lemon lollipop vibe than tea... I wished the tea note was stronger ! I really thought it will be kinda similar to "remember me" by jovoy (as they share very similar notes), but nope :( It's not bad at all, but did not live up my expectations sadly.

White Water - Beautiful Against Expectations

Brecourt is one of those brands with which I have not had good experiences so far. I have tested many, but liked few. I found several uninspired. In this respect, my expectations were rather low here as well. After reviewing the ingredients, it was clear that it would be a lemon and tea scent - and that suits me. In fact, I am very taken with it, as the distinctly noticeable lemon merges with a lovely spicy tea note into a creamy mélange, which the musk likely contributes to. Bergamot and mandarin remain subtle, yet still strong enough to understand that they are supposed to be present. There is a certain charm in that. A floral hint quietly wafts through the composition as well.

Many criticize particularly the longevity and weak aura here. I have mentioned often enough that this does not bother me. However, I find it not as bad as described. Although the scent quickly retreats to skin proximity, it remains noticeably around the person for a long time. During a walk in the fresh air, I repeatedly caught a whiff of the creamy lemon, even though I had only applied two economical sprays to the back of my hand. I do not want or expect more - for myself and my environment.
In this respect, Eau Blanche, the white water, has positively corrected my perception of Brecourt.

As another recommendation, Mauvais Garçon should be mentioned, an equally subtle lavender scent from this brand.

EAU BLANCHE - A FLEETING WHIFF

When sniffing a fragrance, images often arise in the mind. With Eau Blanche, I expect a pure, clean scent due to its name, and I already envision white sheets fluttering in the wind, accompanied by fresh, delicate, powdery, almost neutral fragrance accords.

The color white is also abundantly present, but what I see is a cake. A ‘Pavlova’, named after the Russian ballet dancer Anna Pavlova and invented in her honor in New Zealand (although Australia also claims to have invented this cake. A dispute over a national specialty that continues to this day...). Inspired by her tutu and the delicate weight of the artist, the inventor created a meringue cake filled with cream and fresh fruits.

In my mind, I flip through an old photo album. It’s the late 1920s, the pictures black-and-white, somewhat blurry, and with jagged edges. I see the image of a New Zealand plantation, a white wooden house in a garden with fruit trees. In another picture, two girls in white dresses stand under a jasmine bush, next to a pavilion providing shade.

Upon closer inspection, I discover a set table where the Pavlova sits. It’s hot, and a jug of chilled green tea with lemon slices floats nearby for refreshment.

That is exactly the image! And those are exactly the fragrance notes contained in Eau Blanche. From the top note, the fresh lemon stands out, mixed with the fruits that decoratively crown the Pavlova. Ginger and green tea reach my nose, initially pleasantly green, fresh, and slightly bitter...

Before the two girls can taste the cake, a photo is taken of them. They stand obediently next to the pavilion under the jasmine bush, smoothing their white lace dresses and gazing motionlessly into the camera lens. It takes a while; the exposure time seems eternal. The girls find it hard to stay still, as sweet scents reach their little noses. Sugary meringue and even sweeter cream. The fruits are covered in sweetness.

The longer I look at the picture, the more the details blur. No, they dissolve, making the image emptier and emptier. As if one were developing a photo backwards in the darkroom...

And so it is with the scent. It evaporates before the base note has a chance to bring a certain seriousness to the sweet, delicate, fruity image of a past summer day. What remains is the hint of a whiff, actually just the memory of a whiff. The black bottle is more than misleading. At least it would have proven some durability in white.

Eau Blanche is for elves, for fairy beings that are almost translucent and incomprehensible themselves. For ordinary young women, the scent is too weak. And for me, anyway...

Thanks to Hasi, who gifted me this scent photo!

Eau Blanche? Thé Vert? Thé Blanc? Eau Verte?

The initial citrus note is delicious, but unfortunately fades quite quickly. For me, Eau Blanche then becomes a true tea scent. And primarily green tea. Sparkling, fresh, intense, lively, bitter, green. It gains a bit of sharpness from the ginger, which emphasizes the bitterness. Osmanthus unfortunately takes a back seat. This otherwise very gentle, watercolor-orange, velvety note has no chance to assert itself against the intensity of the fresh tea on my skin. There's no trace of the freesia either. But that’s okay. The rest already smells nice enough. A very slight woodiness is still present, giving the perfume a bit more hold and depth. The musk here is neither particularly powdery nor particularly soapy. Everything remains very fresh, very clear, rather bright.

A well-made green tea scent without sweetness, but with a bitter, almost fougère-herbaceous note, which is guaranteed to be quite pleasant in high temperatures. Just don’t forget to take the bottle with you for re-spraying in between, as the longevity (for me) leaves something to be desired.

I can almost smell a fresh citrus scent with a delicate tea note here, but more than a subtle hint is not noticeable.

Beautiful and simple. A delicate, light floral scent with a hint of tea on a soft laundry musk note. A calm everyday fragrance.

This is totally my vibe: citrusy, creamy, with a tiny hint of tea - if only you could smell it 3 cm above the skin, it would be perfect!

Indefinable citrus, not bad but totally mixed up. Overall fresh and clean but no distinct notes recognizable.

First association: smells like Dextro Energy tastes. Yellow fruity-citrusy-fresh with a base of clean laundry. Unfortunately, 0 longevity.

A little lemon makes its mark on your wrist and leaves no chance for the other scent components until it fades away!

Fresh and very natural summer scent, with a recognizable quality for me. The longevity is short, that's true, but at 5.8 it feels significantly underrated.
