The (magical) perfection in a bottle

At first I wanted to write a statement, but no matter how many times I rewrote it: 140 characters just don't do this fragrance justice.

Blanche Bête is a 100 out of 10 for me.
Do you know this? You meet someone and you feel like you've known them forever? That's how I felt with this fragrance. It was love-at-first-sniff, but at first I thought: "does it just remind me of another fragrance?" Maybe a grown-up version of my signature since 2006 Kenzo Amour ? Sure, you could say they share the light rice pudding vibe but there is so much more to Blanche Bête
It is strong yet gentle at the same time. Present but restrained. Quiet but somehow loud too.

For some, it may only smell of coconut, but I understand where this association comes from. At a birthday party, a friend really wanted to know what the scented candle was called, but it turned out to be an ordinary candle and it smelled like Blanche Bête.
But I smell much more, the milky, the subtle tuberose, vanilla and tonka and a minimal incense note...everything is just perfectly balanced.

The fragrance is like coming home, feeling absolutely safe, but at the same time it gives me a certain strength. It touches me in a way that few fragrances have managed to do so far.

I have always said I would never spend over €200 on a perfume, but Blanche Bête is (for me) worth every penny, the longevity and sillage are wonderful without being overwhelming.

Hats off Louise Turner, you have created a masterpiece:
Blanche Bête is like a unicorn, simply MAGICAL
