A Giacobetti from the leftover ramp
Today it's all about Zara's Popeline Blanche. I have been wearing the laundry fragrance regularly for 6 weeks.

I discovered the perfume by chance. I was wandering through the alleyways and into Zara. There I tried 4 out of 40 fragrances and found Popeline. It wasn't from this global brand, I decided.

Popeline was not dupey, as I am used to from Zara, nor was it ostentatious. The scent was a breezy bergamot neroli of the great-grandmotherly kind, which I really liked.

Without a second thought, I went ahead with the purchase. The perfume, which was actually sold out, was handed to me in another store. The stock was reduced to around €10.

The Giacobetti from the leftover ramp convinced me, then as now.

The scent tickles the nose with spicy green neroli bergamot. Pleasant laundry scents soon become more dominant and a fresh floral, cool sparkle finally remains.

What I find particularly special about the fragrance is that it does not exert any manipulative power. It is consistently staid, humble and narrow-minded. No panty drops.

The fresh, aromatic 4711-like fabric softener scent is high-quality and well composed. There is something masculine in the slightly tangy scent. It also comes across as Victorian rigid, but modern and concise.

Popeline Blanche works best after freshening up for the day or at night. One spritz is enough for 1.5 hours of perceptible fragrance.

As a daytime fragrance in midsummer, I would find it only so-so. It is too delicate and too soft, especially towards the base, to hold its own in shimmering tar heat.

I don't recommend PB at all for the public sphere, formal occasions, because it doesn't dress in the slightest.

Bottom line, in its field a good product with very good price performance, recommendation. I will continue to wear it. Possibly a Hermes Cologne will outstrip it at some point.

...that is, when it snows again.

The church of Saint Neroli
When I smelled Popeline Blanche for the first time at Zara while I was testing the current releases, I actually had my sights set on Sunrise on the Red Sand Dunes Eau de Parfum. What stuck with me, however, was the impression of this clear, bright neroli from the top note of Popeline Blanche. I still didn't buy it, I just wasn't determined that day. Especially as I had never really liked neroli. Echt Kölnisch Wasser Eau de Cologne had been a favorite of my mother's, but I had never been able to get anything out of it. I found it annoying, intrusive and old-fashioned. But that day, Olivia Giacobetti converted me. Suddenly my attitude towards the bitter-fresh orange blossom essence was completely changed. Even the old cologne suddenly smelled wonderful and lifted my spirits as soon as I noticed it. Such missionary skills impress me in a perfume. In the meantime, the bottle has moved into my home and - what can I say? The fragrance convinces me across the board.
The top note combines clear neroli with bright bergamot and has delicate green notes. It is possible that cis-3-hexenol or something similar was used here. The light-heartedness of the citrus notes also has a bitter seriousness - the ambivalence is fascinating. The bitterness of the neroli may have been emphasized here with petitgrain. The fantasy note "cotton" is reminiscent of fresh laundry and builds a sweet and creamy bridge to the clean musk base, which is beautifully balanced but very synthetic. Some may find it pungent, especially at close range. In terms of sillage, however, the fragrance as a whole just makes sense. It reminds me of Mugler Cologne, but to my mind it is much better done. In addition to the better longevity and sillage, the musk is also much more beautifully realized and more beautifully combined with the citrusy top note through the cotton note. Wearable above all in spring and especially in summer, this fragrance is an enrichment to my collection and has converted me to the Church of St. Neroli.

who doesn't love fresh bed linen?
Creamy neroli & cooling bergamot combine with freshly laundered laundry and delicate musk fluff to create a cloud-soft fragrance.
This is exactly how I want my bed linen to ALWAYS smell, not just after washing.
The feeling of freshly washed bed linen is simply heavenly and when I snuggle up in the clean, fragrant sheets, I am immediately enveloped in a feeling of security The smooth, crisp fabrics gently caress my skin and leave me with a pleasant feeling of freshness.
This fragrance by Zara, which is designed for men, is definitely unisex and the top note is somewhat reminiscent of the typical colognes with neroli. Here, however, it is sweeter and less aggressive.

The composition of cotton, bergamot, neroli and musk unfolds in abundance and leaves a pleasant, clean feeling. Popeline Blanche makes me feel very refreshed and well-dressed, wrapped in a thin layer of cotton on my skin.
Unfortunately, the fragrance doesn't last long, but for the price, that's not a bad thing. Yes, it is a little synthetic, but in this case I don't mind. After all, detergent doesn't smell natural either.

You get 100 ml for a top price and a wonderfully high-quality bottle. The other 3 fragrances in this range are also fantastic, even if, in my opinion, they are also wrongly declared as men's fragrances.

Very uplifting, slightly soapy neroli, softened by what I presume to be the cotton flower. Good lasting power. Definitely unisex.
