McQueen Eau Blanche

Colour me surprised! What a luscious, refreshingly sweet tuberose scent this is! The reviewer below me, Anamandy, & also Seducianne described 'Eau Blanche' perfectly. It's a rich, bubble-gum tuberose (which I LOVE. Yay!). Same as the one you'd find in Mancera's 'Velvet Vanilla'. Except it's not thickened by the vanilla cream...instead airy & bright like spring! Initial spray on my skin I immediately get the tuberose and some tart greenness (never smelled violet leaf). What I like is the greenness is fresh, slightly aquatic and not herbal at all. As it develops on my skin I get more ylang-ylang than jasmine, however it's so easy to detect both flowers! Honestly I am not a fan of pure florals. And tuberose is an iffy note that can give vintage vibes...But that's SO not the case here! The bubble-gum tuberose and ylang ylang combo gives 'Eau Blanche' delicious velvety, banana facets. The dry down is a faint musk, a hint woodsy with 0 powder (thank goodness) but with florals still prominent. This was a love-at-first-sniff & dry down for me. 'Eau Blanche' is modern, sophisticated and absolutely delightful. Not to mention immensely versatile & inoffensive! Easy office scent. Verdict: A hidden gem. Get it if you're looking for a youthful, creamy bubble-gum tuberose. P.S. the bottle is SO CUTE!

I can't describe my fascination about it. I just back from Sacks 5th Ave, Michigan ave in Chicago.. and I am so truly, sensitive about this scent. I don't know even what type of words to use it to describe it. I am speechless. Delicate, girly, femine....unique. If I had a date now... I would just wear it. I would put hair down, sexy white dress and leather jacket...and red lips to seduce my man. What I would do is: I would spray it over my light dry hair and on my hands...I would wait till my man will put his lips on my lips.. neck and I would let him to get creazy with me. Incredible sexy...perfect for dinner... and romantic walk with your man. Magical... I would wear it ...afternoon and night...Amazed... by quality... Around black and purple edition the white is my number one. Thank you Alexander, I love you. You are the master of a really unique piece...I can;t imagine.. how important this perfume is now in the whole history of perfumes. It deserves a nice memory, and good attention in the perfumes market... and history. Dry down on my scarf is heavenly after 3 days. <3 <3 <3

Yet another McQueen to love! I have the original McQueen and left a review for that already, but the vetiver and overdose of pepper was killing it in the winter, turning the scent sharp and brash. In the warm weather it behaved like a totally different scent and became a beautiful, deep and rich woody floral, though the silage and longevity changed too, and not for the better. Enter Eau Blanche. What a charmer she is! Soft, sweet, sensuous, yet bright and light, with a big, bubblegum tuberose (the type I normally hate – but not here!), voluptuous jasmine, and creamy, fruity, banana ylang. The violet leaf opening is inspired, adding a lovely garden-fresh dimension, and unlike the OG fragrance, I am not getting hit over the head with the woody notes. They are perfectly done. While the base is softly musky, it's not powdery, and stays floral all the way through. Fantastic silage and longevity too. Oh, you guys have no idea how much I am loving this. I am head over heels for this adorable perfume. PS - It lasts forever on my skin.

Indeed an interesting perfume. It smells classy and authentic, I haven't been able to detect anything synthetic or dissatisfying about it yet. It starts off with a blend of all the notes together, then it gets lighter. Truth be told, it reminded me a lot of Terracotta from Guerlain, then I realized they both contain Jasmine, Ylang-Ylang, and Musk. Still, I find Terracotta sweeter, because of the Tiare and Coconut. This one has an earthier- neutral approach. You can definitely smell the woody notes together with flowery ones. It kinda reminds me of Summer's morning hours, before the sun comes out when the smell of blooming flowers is so intense, and you can smell the wood because of light humidity. It is an excellent perfume indeed. The only drawback for me is the sillage. It's a light perfume which means that people should come close enough in order to smell it well. On the other hand, that makes it perfect for office jobs, or night dates when one does not wish to smell very intense. Highly recommended!

This is a gorgeous, soft yet realistic tuberose. It’s neither indolic nor too green, it opens slightly dewy and tart and later evolves into a balanced, crisp, breezy tuberose. It gets warmer after a couple of hours, but it stays fairly linear for the whole evolution, which is about 4 hours on my skin. I would say it’s a perfectly clean, feminine perfume, with a pinch of that narcotic vibe so typical to white florals, but imo quite safe and inoffensive (at least for someone who knows they love tuberose). I imagine this worn in warmer, but not hot temperatures, perhaps in a spring / early summer day, wearing a soft, pastel colored silk or linen dress.
