Clean fresh scent with a lovely delicate peony accord. Distinct detergent-musky note is, however, quite disturbing.

Musky and "clean" smelling, office suitable. Medium projection, good longevity, especially on clothes.

It smells clean, but like the clean of sheets spread out in the sun; the scent of a fabric softener, not of a person.

OG of clean girl scents. Put it after a shower and it feels like I am wrapped in a freshly washed cashmere sweater

Hard to put my finger on, expensive toilet? Nice pleasant white room. Nails the idea of white with white florals, but thats all.

White Noise

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.

Fluffy lilac-colored cloud

There was a Disney Sleeping Beauty doll released in 1994, that came with a small bottle of "lily of the valley" perfume. This smells almost identical to that perfume, just a slightly more grown-up version.

Although this doesn't match the notes, here's what it smells like to my nose:

- lily of the valley
- baby doll head (powdery/soft plastic)
- creamy rose
- faint iris

It's all very creamy, soft, and well blended - feels like a fluffy lilac-colored cloud to me.

I saw someone said it came across as more "screechy/synthetic laundry detergent" on their skin, and that's exactly what happened to me too for the first 30 minutes - literally like huffing generic dryer sheets with a too-sharp synthetic accord.

While the opening is screechy and lasts a while, the dry down is worth waiting for!

Freshly laundered sheets

If it was the perfumer's goal to make a perfume that smelled exactly like freshly dried laundry, after it has been washed by a high-end but old-fashioned, aggressive, laundry powder, this is a great success. It's super soapy and super powdery.

It's not my thing. In fact, the powder/soap is so strong that it irritates my nose (even after a modest single spray). The soap association is also so strong that I have trouble discerning other notes.

I can imagine this is a hit for people who love the smell of fresh bedsheets. It conveys an extreme cleanness, which I can also imagine to have some appeal. I still gave it a fairly good rating, because if fresh laundry is what you're looking for, this is truly amazing.

clean girl

"Clean girl". Perfume reviewers always use that, don't they? As their defining compliment: "She's a clean girl". Clean girl is cool. Clean girl is game. Clean girl is clean. Clean girl never gets pissy with a skin scent. She only smiles in a crisply-veneered manner. And then presents her mouth for her next nude lip balm du jour. She likes what the trend cycle likes, so evidently she’s a costalgrandmother-cottagecore-angelbaby who loves blueberry-milkshake-ozonics. If the cycle likes alpine-tradwife-oldmoney, she's a lactonic-bubblebath-gourmand babe who talks white linen notes and layers with three other vanillas. When I met Blanche I knew I wanted to be "clean girl". And for this scent, I'll admit: I was willing to try. I applied no-makeup makeup. I drank artisanal spring water watching videos of skincare ASMR. I removed all colour from my house and bought a Restoration Hardware cloud couch. I went to reformer pilates, semi regularly. I slept on silk pillowcases. I was fucking game. I can't say I didn't enjoy some of it.

tl;dr: clean girl

Fabric softener

Blanche is an aldehyde-peony fragrance. It is very feminine. It perfectly resembles the scent of floral scented fabric softeners mixed with fabrics. The moment as you smell laundry just after washing them.

You get a soft cotton like floral accord throughout but also the synthetic accords are overpowering. Detergent vibe is repulsing.

The scent profile is very boring and outdated to the maxiumum. This one smells more or less like 5$ fragrances from many other brands. A disappointment for me.
