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

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!

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.

One of the best soapy scents
Those who like aldehyde-fresh fragrances should definitely try this. I don’t particularly enjoy soapy scents, hence the low score, but this is one of the best scents I’ve tried among soapy fragrances. It is very refreshing, and the other notes are not overshadowed by the aldehyde. Maybe this is why I don’t dislike this one as much as I dislike other soapy fragrances.

Blanche: Review 21
I’m an absolute psycho for clean linen aldehydic scents so I might be a bit biased - since most don’t, but if you’re scared of a sharp, astringent detergent scent. Fear no more.

This takes 724 and Lazy Sunday Morning and tones up the aldehydes, and takes out some musk and rose - more emphasis on peony and violet. This fragrance UNDOUBTEDLY the best linen scent I’ve tried. THIS is waking up in your NY penthouse in your clean white sheets and the sun diffusing through your windows onto your skin as you watch the view.

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.

Screaming cleanliness, white florals, and cotton flowers. I would use this on bed linens, not on myself. Similar to Lazy Sunday Morning.

A flat and one dimensional aldehyde scent. Not for me but great for those who want to smell "clean", like an expensive laundry detergent.

Aldehyde heavy and too clean, like an antiseptic. Not enjoyable for me.

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