Cold and strange
Are you on the look for an unique and different vanilla? White Out might fit the bill. The opening is strong, piercing, cold and plastic. I don´t really think it smells like I remember correction fluid (white out), but kind of a romantic interpretation. And, most important, it smells good! This is much to strange to be your ordinary lack of imagination gourmand vanilla. It makes me think of snow, the technicolor fake one used in movies and television some decades ago.

Conslusion, plastic and synthetic, but in a gorgeous way. :)

But, that´s not all folks. After a while White Out becomes warmer, softer, darker, woodier and also powdery. This is so nice and intersting done from start to end. Luuuuv it. Over all i find the fragrances in Cerchi Nell'Acqua line up to be extremly well done and worth testing all of them! Don´t miss them and especially, don´t miss White Out.

Air Freshener in a Cat Litter Box
"White Out" was an absolute blind buy (decant) when it appeared at ALzD. I had only read an English review that rated the scent quite positively and claimed it was the most suitable for men from the fragrance range of Cerchi Nell'acqua. In short: it is not!

The scent revolves around a component not mentioned here: vanilla - and in its most disgusting form. I can't identify what else has been mixed in, but it smells like a cat litter box that hasn't been cleaned in time - or alternatively like old Bundeswehr combat boots after being worn for about three days straight. Unfortunately, I can contribute nothing more than "vanilla, sweet, *gag*." I really can't understand the Arctic association at all.

On female skin, the scent might develop differently (hopefully) - although even then it shouldn't be anything special, as there are surely dozens of fragrances on this theme. However, I would strongly advise men against it!

Vanilla Out
The term White Out refers to a meteorological phenomenon where, due to snow and diffuse reflection of sunlight, no contrast is visible, and thus no horizon can be determined. There is no distinction between ground and sky - contours and shadows disappear, and one has the impression of standing in a completely empty, infinitely extended bright space. Similar to the Matrix, which can lead to feelings of unease and anxiety in individuals, along with disorientation and balance disturbances.

The effects when applying the eponymous Eau de Parfum from the label Cerchi Nell'aqua are certainly not that severe. Nevertheless, one should be prepared for a full blast of vanilla, despite contrary claims. The opening is particularly intense, as the black pods resonate with a rather unpleasant plastic note. After that, it does become more pleasant and sweet, but also heavier. Those who cannot handle heavily sweetened vanilla will find themselves hopelessly lost with this White Out. There is no need to search for the mentioned leaves or woods. White Out is pure vanilla from start to finish, top to bottom, indeed an overdose of this theme with very delicate light nuances and a bit of musk that contributes to the creaminess.

Aside from the failed top note, vanilla fans are offered a lot, and above all, it lasts a very long time. However, one should also be aware that the so-called "queen of spices" always skims very close to the synthetic. Therefore, I can somewhat understand ExOmega's association with air fresheners. But in my opinion, White Out deserves a few more percentage points.
