A White Wonder
It is soooo wonderful!

After "Bitter Sweet" only convinced me 90%, but I found the scent new and unusual, I also ordered the White Russian.
Based on the comments here, I expected a mediocre fragrance experience.
But the scent is so beautiful that it must never run out for me.

It is white-creamy and powdery, of the finest kind. I have already tested several well-rated cream fragrances and have always found them a bit difficult. Usually, they are too soapy, overpowering, and too intense for me.
But this scent is so soft and unobtrusive that it is only pleasant to be surrounded by a cloud of fragrance. Yet it is still intense. It is not a weak scent. I have been wearing it for eight hours now, and it still envelops me. With every movement, a hint wafts into my nose - wonderful!
I sprayed quite a bit because I thought the scent might fade quickly. But that is, firstly, not the case, and secondly, it still does not come off as annoying or headache-inducing. No, it wraps me in a white-creamy cloud. The sillage is so pleasant that a hint of fragrance wafts into my nose whenever I move. This is how it should be.
I don't smell the musk very strongly here. It is not aldehydic and not soapy, but white and delicate, integrated into the flowers and vanilla. The white flowers are also not of the soapy kind that I usually know, but simply as delicate flowers are.
The vanilla is also not overpowering or artificial, but very subtly sweet.
If there is cashmere wood in here, then it is not smoky and dark, but...
Right, it is white and delicate.
A soft woodiness gives the fragrance a clean character without sharp soap. Really very pleasant.
The bottle is also great. It fits perfectly in the hand, and the design is fun. The fur hat and the perforated white lacquer remind me of a winter in Russia. In this case, it will probably be Belarus.

I find the scent super wonderful, suitable for every day. It can definitely be worn in summer. But for me, it is meant for the evening when I want to relax and simply feel good in my skin.
I had slight associations with the "Flower by Kenzo" Limited Edition 2004. By the way, the bottle is also snow white. At first glance, it could also be a Kenzo fragrance.
George Gina & Lucy have really surprised me now.
Two years ago, I laughed at their attempt to launch their first perfume. I was not convinced by that.
How one can be mistaken.
This Collector's Edition is wonderfully successful, anyway. The third fragrance, Night Star, was also ordered today.

Addendum: Now it has been 12 hours on my skin, and I can still smell the creamy cloud.

Creamy-Delicate Powder Beauty
I was positively surprised by Bitter Sweet, and White Russian is a wonderful scent that I wouldn't have expected from this brand.

Regarding brand names: The name should stand for something; it is the face, the image of the brand. Once this is achieved, it can be a blessing or a curse.
In my perception, the brand GG&L is youthful, playful, and perhaps a bit kitschy. If one does not identify with the crafted image of the brand, its entire product range falls outside our target preferences, and vice versa. If a brand reflects our self-image, then we are on board and buy. Always justified?

I am also biased and am drawn to "my style," or conversely, I avoid products that seemingly do not match me. I would not have tested these fragrances either if Lotti from Berlin hadn't had them in her collection. Her taste is similar to mine, and I thought a test couldn't hurt.

What is the scent like? Gentle freshness on warm, spicy-sweet vanilla. A blend of clean scent and very soft gourmand.
It starts off citrusy and fresh for me. However, this lemon is not refreshing and sour, but dusted with white flowers. The freshness is mild. The white flowers come in, and a feminine, beautiful cloud develops. Vanilla and woods form a harmonious base, with the flowers resting on spicy, woody sweetness. Everything is nicely balanced and round.
The color white fits well with the scent profile; I experience the fragrance as gentle and very soft. I do not perceive the musk, just like Sanjoscha, nor any soapiness.

After wearing it several times, it increasingly reminds me of By Night White. Lighter overall, but the theme of white flowers and vanilla is very similar.
The scent is not a masterpiece, and it will certainly not be a classic that one wears in 20 years, but it is beautiful, and the quality is decent. The bottle is, of course, a matter of taste, but it is solid and not cheaply made.

Perhaps it will find many testers and wearers; give it a chance.

As with all new GG&L fragrances, the bottle was the reason for testing this one. Great glass bottle with a fluffy collar.

To me, the scent feels like powdered sugar on cookies, like a whisper.
On my skin, the fragrance lasts reasonably well, it doesn't bother, it doesn't clash, I don't find it too intense, it hugs the skin, but my nose quickly stops perceiving it.

It starts off slightly floral and fresh, then after about 1 hour transitions into a warm, cozy, and musky scent, and stays that way for the next few hours with a light hint of vanilla.
Longevity is around 4-6 hours.

For me, it's an absolute feel-good fragrance that I could wear anytime, day or night. It fits quite well into the cold season.
I would categorize it as a light oriental.

White Winter Dreamland
After Bitter Sweet, this fragrance will soon join my collection. White Russian initially has a subtly floral scent, but then becomes softer and silkier by the minute. The vanilla/musk/cashmere wood combination emerges from the background and gently embraces its wearer. A wonderful fragrance for fans of subtly modern oriental scents. A very successful combination and affordable too.

~ Inspiration ~
"White Russian" landed on my watchlist along with "Night Star" after I was able to test "Bitter Sweet." I received a sample from the lovely Juli11.

~ Bottle ~
The white-glossy surface looks somewhat cracked due to the silvery lines, giving it a wintry expression of ice. Complementing this is a furry collar and the well-known carabiner hook. The name "White Russian" has nothing to do with the cocktail of the same name.

~ Fragrance ~
It starts off alcoholic, but this quickly dissipates, revealing a slightly tart top note of red berries and gentle apple blossoms. However, this only lasts a short while, as snow-white roses, somewhat more robust freesias, heliotrope, and a hint of jasmine unveil the floral-powdery heart. Creamy vanilla and musk form a balanced base with warm sandalwood and spicy cashmere wood.

~ Longevity ~
On my skin, it lasts about 5 hours (a bit longer on clothing and hair). 2-3 sprays are sufficient, as more makes it feel too soapy, dry, and somewhat bitter for me.

~ Occasion ~
It fits well into the mild and cooler days and evenings in spring and autumn (also as an office scent). For winter, it feels a bit too floral for me.

~ Conclusion ~
Unfortunately, it has become a tad too spicy for me. Those looking for powdery floral scents with a certain "pep" should definitely give this a try :)

Gina-Lucy in a glittery outfit gives off gourmand synthetic vibes at the fruit bar. Add vanilla sugar, musk fabric softener - let’s hit the club!

Average musk fabric softener scent with mediocre longevity. The bottle has once again won.
