Standing on the shoulders of giants.
It’s funny how things with different listed notes can smell so close together. For instance. I’m in love with original Azurēe. The aldehydic opening. The nonsweet floral powder. The rooty, earthy and medicinal orris root. The light hints of leather.
Sillage Blanc is rated to smell closer to Bandit Eau de Toilette than Azuree. And yes. The leather is stronger. And the ingredient list is closer. Sillage Blanc has no orris, either.
But those bitter-green, earthy herbs in this concoction- they create something that smells almost like orris.
And the leather is there, confronting you from the very beginning.
At a time when both Azurēe and Bandit Eau de Toilette are quite hard to get (at least where I am) this fragrance is the descendant - even replacement for both of them.
