White Tea and Lemon

As the name indicates, this one is a white floral. "Dominante Blanche"? Yes, the "white" aspects are dominant, on my skin it's all about white tea and a strange lemondrop-note, which I don't enjoy. Leather and saffron are hard to detect, they are mentioned in the pyramide, but I can't single them out like in other fragrances where I have no trouble in pinpointing them...
All in all, this scent is a huge disappointment to me. Inspired by very enthousiastic reviews on the German Parfumo-page, I ordered a sample, because I normally adore fragrances containing leather, apricot and saffron (e.g. "Daim Blond" by Serge Lutens). But this weird lady in white called "LALE" doesn't impress me at all. She's closer to Elléna's tea-perfumes than to anything with a bit more spice and oomph. If it's tea you're after, "Lale" could be an interesting lemony option, albeit an expensive one (around 150 Euros). If you're looking for more depth and volume, pass!

Lale with the Mysterious Winter Blossom Makes a Statement for Spring

Lale is probably the fragrance from my sample collection that I have postponed testing the longest, even though it has been suggested to me repeatedly by the system.

At the beginning of the week, it finally happened. The day started cool but promised at least a sunny progression. I can't really say why I kept postponing the test, but unconsciously, Lale seemed a bit too feminine to me despite its unisex design according to the pyramid. Moreover, I had drifted further away from the initial suggestion from spring.

Nevertheless, I must admit that I have no idea what the so-called "winter blossom" is. A scent note that apparently only exists in Lale. The other ingredients are easier to categorize. First and foremost are the citrus-fruity components that make Lale quite spring-like and summery.

The sweet Osmanthus, often found as an addition to flavored teas, pairs excellently with the notes of white tea.
Rose, leather, and apricot are not really easy to pinpoint, but they can certainly be imagined within the complexity. If you concentrate a bit, you might perceive a hint of fine leather. And I also think I can detect a transformation into something creamy.

In the base area, the fresh, spring-like impressions slowly fade away, while the light woods and a bit of benzoin come through with a resinous blend of some cocoa and rather earthy vanilla notes. The whole thing is very quiet and more whispered.

A truly beautiful fragrance with a fine progression, and just ideal for spring. However, it is indeed more feminine than unisex and very close to the skin. The direction is right, but unfortunately, that's about it. And to the question in the name: No - white does not dominate here, but rather the bright, friendly tones.

Lale in Wonderland

Following the scent journey of "Lale - Dominante Blanche - a pure Romance" is like diving into a story from Alice in Wonderland. As I sniff on my arm, I see a snow-covered, quiet, and vast landscape before me. A little bunny, dressed in a pastel-colored plush coat and delicate suede boots, hops footprints in the snow. It stops by its friend, the winter flower, greets her, and shares a cup of white tea with her. Together, they write a postcard to Alice, who is waiting at home in Wonderland for her friend, the bunny. They tell her about the new apricot-colored, incredibly elegant lacquered dresser that Mrs. Winter Flower recently bought and that they are currently enjoying a handful of apricots that the friendly neighbor, Miss Osmanthus, just brought over...

Lale's color is thus white. Lale is thoroughly feminine, and her overall attitude is playful-romantic. Her presence is cool-elegant, and her state is transparent. Lale's favorite accord is the velvety-soft apricot, and her character is defined by delicate suede.

In the opening, the hesperides clearly dominate. Bergamot rises fresh and citrusy-bitter. Alongside, a fully juicy and powerful mandarin contributes its sweet fruit aroma. From the background, a slightly dusty, fully blooming dark rose can be discerned. The very present osmanthus adds a hint of white tea and a distinctly prominent peach aroma. In the heart, the velvety-fluffy apricot, which dominates the entire scent journey, joins in and is briefly accompanied by a whisper-thin suede note that is unmatched. In the base, benzoin contributes a fine powdery, slightly balsamic undertone, and mild-spicy woods ensure that Lale never drifts into overly sweet-fruity pastel territory.

Lale, just like the other fragrances from YS UZAC, is a well-thought-out, finely composed work of art that possesses its own unique character. However, Lale plays less with contrasts than, for example, Métaboles. While Lale loves embellishments, her development is still very clear and straightforward. The longevity of Lale is good, the sillage is good, and overall, everything about Lale is good. I just wish I liked playful, slightly fruity fragrances a bit more. But if I ever have a daughter, I will name her Lale and read her Alice in Wonderland. That is for sure!

Lale Dominante Blanche youthful and carefree!

I also really like Lale-Dominante Blanche, just like so many other fragrances. It is a beautiful fresh-floral scent that initially contains citrus notes, then transitions into floral and results in a successful perfume with spices and balsamic notes, which I can really imagine being perfect for spring and summer :) I find it a fragrance that radiates youthfulness and carefree spirit!

Right after application, you can smell intense bitter bergamot, a bit of lemon, slightly musty-scented rose, juicy orange, and a hint of white tea. Lale then quickly moves into a spicy note of pink pepper (somewhat fruity) and also precious saffron. Together, these notes create an interesting bouquet, fresh-floral, spicy :)

A light leather touch, which is velvety and somewhat powdery on the skin, underscores this beautiful perfume. Amber and balsamic notes give this perfume the final touch and harmonize here with the other ingredients in the base note!

This fragrance is definitely worth a test!
