Geisha Blanche Eau de Parfum

I have the oil version of this and 2 other Geishas (Noire and Vanilla Hinoki). All of them open with a sharp, almost jarring herbal/aromatic quality. I've come to really love that part of these fragrances. In this one, I can see the reference to Windex or some cleaner that others have noted when I make the association. It otherwise smells like sharp citrus with a hint of fruity lychee to sweeten it up a bit. This aspect softens to reveal a bouquet of florals, which to me smell pretty abstract. Agree, it smells like a pretty, fine, soap, a hint powdery. I find it is easy to wear and calming, myself. If it had a color and texture it would be grayish/lavender cashmere. All of her perfumes last a long time on me and a little goes a long way. That being said, this one is the softest of the ones I have and is more of a skin scent with little projection. Not sure anyone else would notice it, partly because it doesn't smell like perfume. Happy to have this one in my little Aroma M collection though not sure I love it enough to replace it if I ever finish it.

The oil version of Geisha Blanche was my signature for years. It smells like the periwinkle, coral and tangerine hues of dawn, as well as clean soap with a very subtle warm floral facet. It's dewy, intimate, and innocent, breezy and calming to the point of being almost homely- all at once. To me it smells like the sunrise in New Orleans, before the mercilessly blaring light sears everything in its reach. This is a minimalist fragrance but it is anything but boring. It melds with your own skin and compliments it. I wore it to a party during the summer, and a girl came up to compliment me and tell me that she knew the scent from somewhere, though she had never smelled Geisha Blanche. Geisha Blanche is the scent of a day not yet realized. It creates an abundant halo of long lasting soft shadows, mist, and brand new purple buds just beginning to open up.

I love the oil, it's clean, not too soapy, like expensive soap. Very lovely and puts me in a great place. However, I made the mistake of buy the edp and its absolutely terrible. Nothing even close to the oil. I have tried to use it several times and I always have the same reaction. It smells like dusty expired blah. Go for the oil.

Close to perfection. One of the best clean smell I've ever worn. It's not fresh or aquatic, but a calm, soapy, white-flowery mature clean scent that lasts all day.

Very pretty, airy, bubbly, mostly just squeaky clean, with a hint of something floral. I think I mostly just get hyacinth. I don't get much, if any, jasmine or ylang ylang. It's mostly just clean, clean, clean. Super clean scent. Like clean linens. Or a nice, luxurious, soapy, bubbly bath. Clean, but not in that fake, artificial, overwhelming way like some ( a lot! ) clean scents are. It is actually "fresh linens" done right. Very feminine and elegant. Very simple, but very pretty. I couldn't figure out what this scent reminded me of at first... but it was bugging me every time I caught a whiff of it. Know that feeling? So annoying! And then it hit me - Nivea cream! The original, dark blue one, in a tin. I used to love that scent when I was a kid. Not so much anymore. And I think because of this association, I can't take this scent seriously. Once I realized what it reminded me of, Nivea was all I could think of. Definitely not for me. But if you like beautifully done clean scents, give it a sniff! Opening is pretty sharp, but it quickly settles down into a beautiful clean bliss. It has surprisingly great projection and longevity on me. Linear. But lovely.
