White Zest

Just got my first 100 ML bottle. Great atomizer. Upon first opening I get a luxurious dose of citrus mixed with a powdery vanilla. I don’t notice much difference in the dry down which is odd, but I like it. Not a massive projector but a close skin scent. Anyone close enough to you will smell a bit of this and think it’s from a top perfume house. I will continue to try different Alexandria fragrances as this is my second blind buy and more than impressed like my first purchase with The Irish Gentleman. Now I know what Lemon Heaven smells like and I get to wear it. Hany Hafez is killing the game and got a lifetime customer with me.

Heres my opinion for WHITE ZEST: Sprayed around 8am went to work, got compliments around 8 people..not offensive to other people and it projects well coz i work in a office and they said “smells fresh and citrusy and sweet”. Specially close encounters its lit!!!! Projection around 5-6hrs. I can smell it on my skin until now 7pm and also on my shirt i can still smell the white zest!! Im loving it. Nice one Hany Hafez

Bright lemon and subtle vanilla comes together to make the aroma creamy. The dry down is nice and floral while still holding onto the creaminess. Not bad, I really like this fragrance and it's easy to pull off in most occasion. Definitely more of a warmer weather morning and evening fragrance. You won't be disappointed with this baby.

I've sampled quite a few Alexandria Fragrances. White Zest is one of my favorites, and I'm actually sad that I finished my sample today. My only gripe is that I wish it had better longevity.

Not quite as creamy as Edition Blanche but pretty close. They smell the same in the air and for the price it's a steal .

This one is really good, smooth and calm, perfect for nighttime.

I was looking to get a copy of Chanel AHEB just for a cheaper price, so this will be a sort of comparison. Scent-wise, I get a brighter opening and more lemon zest which then dries down to a very vanilic/tonka bean/woodyish base. The opening isn't as well blended/isn't as smooth although it doesn't smell too synthetic thankfully. Overall, smells good and is less linear than AHEB though relatively similar, take that info as you will. Performance is where things get interesting. I get terrible longevity on my skin. The opening lasts ~45 minutes and then the dry down lasts another hour or so before completely disappearing, totalling about 2 hours of longevity. Sprayed on my shirt, it lasts maybe an hour longer although I find the scent less radiant smelling. When I double spray on the same spot of skin, I get maybe another hour of longevity. So the longevity is bad. But, the sillage/projection I get is crazy. Without standing in the heat and working out, the fragrance already projects tons so I can only imagine it during a hot summer day. Overall, smells somewhat close to AHEB. Less linear: sharper opening with a sweeter and not very citrusy dry down. Terrible longevity, worst I've ever tried, but excellent projection and sillage. To me, I really got what I paid for and still enjoy the fragrance though I reapply often throughout the day.

This is a fair copy of the original Allure Edition Blanche Eau de Toilette Concentrée. I was lucky enough to grab a bottle just before Chanel discontinued it to replace it with the Allure Ed Blanche Eau de Parfum (which I have never sampled), and I bought this clone to take over once the original bottle was empty (lucky for me, I still have about 30ml of the original left) So, what about this product? It will do the job. BUT... The lemon opening is nowhere as realistic as the OG but the lemon pledge feeling dissipates really quickly so it's not too much of a concern. On its own, regardless of comparisons with Chanel's, this fragrance is very nice, soft, unobtrusive. A clean, soft woody scent, sweet but not sugary thanks to a delicate dry vanilla. The citrus stays throughout in a subtle, brightening capacity. Not a macho perfume, yet manly enough if you are comfortable with your inner femininity. The white musk dry down is pleasant and supports the ensemble nicely, bringing the whole composition to a comfy and clean resting place. Verdict (on my skin, so your performance may vary) : Projection is Very weak. Longevity is Lacking to say the least. DO NOT buy this if you are looking for a room filling scent. But if you are looking to enhance your aura for a little while, this will do nicely.

it's kinda like Edition Blanche not quite as tonka heavy / creamy. I will say the more i smell it the more i enjoy it however it's still maybe like a 70%-80% accurate clone. It's nice though but it fades very quickly, I can see the similarities but it's not as potent / prominent with the notes as well as being well blended. Listen, if you are buying a Chanel clone just know that chances are it's not blended to the level that Chanel fragrances are; having said that, this one doesn't actually do a bad job. Even though i think Alexandria Fragrances put out Trash products, this isn't awful considering it's trying to mimic Edition Blanche but doesn't do a stellar job but it's still not horrible. It's not a bad pick up tbh if you cant get Edition Blanche but I will say it'd prolly be better to just try and get Edition Blanche if you can.

Mmmm....one can appreciate this DNA if you don’t try to compare it to Chanel’s Allure Edition Blanche. For me, I actually like this better. IMHO, CAEB is masterfully blended, but it is a citrus Summer freshie. I also find the creamy citrus of CAEB slightly feminine...so does my wife. The open of White Zest is more sharp and lemony, which I actually enjoy more. WZ retains this sharp citrus even as the vanilla and sandalwood come to the forefront. Next is price. It is hard for me to shell out the high $$$ for any Summer citrus freshie. CAEB is still pricey although it’s been out for awhile. WZ is not bad for the price and gets you in the genre for Summer. Again, I like CAEB...but not enough to buy it at the price. WZ is priced well and gives me more citrus punch. White Zest is not a great clone of CAEB, but it is good on its own.

This gets a like from me. I would rate it higher if the longevity and sillage was better. Lasts around 3-4 hours on my skin with minimal projection. It's a good scent but I own L'humaniste by frapin and they share similar uses and I find I prefer L'H more scent wise and it lasts a little longer. That being said, white zest is still a nice summer fragrance, but I would say sample first.

Very fresh, sweet lemony opening., slightly creamy in the drydown. Lasts on my skin about 3-4 hours.

I bought this because I wanted something similar to CAEB. However, in my honest opinion two fragrances have nothing in common but the zest )) Couple of days ago a colleague of mine was wearing Guerlain Bouquet, and I was surprised at how close it was to White Zest. I even asked whether she wore Alexandira))

Honestly can't say this is more than 65% similar... In fact it has a slightly off-putting scent compared to Edition Blanche, which is completely pleasant by comparison.

Weak, simply trash. But I do like Emerald Street and Citron del Mar from the house.

White Zest is actually a surprising apt name for this scent. It smells like clean, white soap in the opening, maybe with a hint of musk in the background. I can’t really make out any notes. I would have guessed something floral/lavender was in here. The dry down smells like honey’d vetiver and it kind of makes me a bit nauseous, unfortunately. I can’t handle this one.

i wanted to like this fragrance, first few minutes on my skin and it smells great, but 15-20 minutes later it gives me this cat piss like smell with dish soap

So happy to be able to write a review. So I've had this fragrance white zest for around 4 months now so it's maceration is there. I just received a bottle of edition blanche today, the edp 150ml. They smell exactly the same with chanel having its chanel quality in the powdery aspect. Save your money and buy this. Edit: the dry down is gorgeous and missing in white zest. But white zest smells exactly like the opening notes amped but not the same oddly magical drydown. Still save your money if a light creamy lemon dry down doesn't matter.

I have Chanel AHEB and received White Zest in the mail a few weeks back. To me this is a 95% dupe when doing a side by side and longevity on skin is very close to the original. I'd say White Zest has a slightly sharper lemon note and less vanilla in the opening, but after drydown they are very, very close. This one is a definite keeper.

Great job Hany! This is spot on. Creamy lemon, woods and amber. Folks, give Alexandria Fragrances a try.
