A blend that doesn't work
To me this smells like a mix of fresh, wet laundry right out of the washing machine and a sharp rosy fruitchouli. There are no fruity notes listed, but the rose in this is sweet and has a fruity vibe, as if there was a litchi or berry note added. The patch is a little earthy and peppery at first, but ultimately turns out sharp and clean.
The opening is intensely aldehydic, but I wouldn't call the scent old-fashioned. These are fresh laundry aldehydes, not the stuffy vintage kind.

In my opinion these soapy aldehydes and patchy rose don't work together all that well. It's an okay scent, very clean and inoffensive, but it can't keep up with the other VC&A fragrances I tried.
I also find the name very unfitting. If you expect something like TF White Patchouli, you will likely be disappointed. This has more rose than patchouli and if scents had a color, I'd say this would be a semi-transparent hot pink and not white.

So, not what I expected at all. Maybe lovers of soapy rose perfumes will appreciate it more.

Fresh Patchouli Scent
I treated myself to a sample due to the many comments, to get a sense (smell) for myself…
And what can I say, I like it!!

I wouldn’t describe it as floral, but rather as fresh, pure, and clean. The patchouli is unobtrusive yet noticeable. The cashmere wood adds a certain warmth without becoming heavy or overwhelming.
It’s a scent that can be worn daily, yet I find it exceptional.

I will try it a few more times, and if I continue to like it this much, I’ll get a proper bottle.

White Patchouli in a Black Swarm
Tuesday evening at around 25° and I’m standing with a crowd of people, dressed in black in a historic sports venue. Around me are even harder fans of this band and the synth sound in the air. I’m wearing Patchouli Blanc and then he sings: Dave Gahan’s oily baritone and I’m right in the middle of the frenzied crowd.
In this heat, I was in the mood for a clean scent, but there was still this little goth inside me that I rarely let out. Well camouflaged in the clean shell, the patchouli sneaks in here too. It starts off aldehydic-clean with a nice pepper twist, softened by the rose in the heart. Cashmere and musk provide the light base. The patchouli deepens everything and makes it suitably dark for the office. It’s not that elegantly glazed patchouli from Chanel, but a slightly earthier, balsamic version. Yet it is lighter, making it more suitable for summer.

The concert was over, I had to change my shirt beforehand due to a cola shower, so I can only say so much about the textile durability. On my skin, it lasted a good four hours in the heat, which for me means it lasts a workday under normal temperatures.

I haven’t dared the office test yet, but I have it with me on vacation now and will extensively test it in the Atlantic climate. Inspired by the best vacation start of all time.

The rose is lovely, but patchouli and aldehydes make it seem mature and a little heavy. Musk briefly makes one think of a fabric softener.

In the central laundry, the heating has broken down
Rose hangs on the starched doctor's coat on the laundry line in the white icy winter wind.

Alcohol dissolved in aldehydes.
Flood of rose water.
The wind, the wind
The heavenly musk child.
Whispers of patchouli.

In the laundry room, it's humid-warm-soapy-aldehydic. I'm confused by this tangled mess of white damp-sticky laundry piles.

Radiant white aldehydes & bright musk embrace spicy patchouli, while woods round it off beautifully. I’ve rarely liked aldehydes this much.

The name fits. Radiant white patchouli, deeply pure. I like it now and then, then I'm Miss Clean.

A long battle between cloying musk, damp rose, and dry patchouli. Sometimes it's quite nice, but mostly it's exhausting.
