Le Parfum in White

This fragrance exudes a sense of class and sophistication, far from being old-fashioned or reminiscent of a grandmother's perfume. In my opinion, it's absolutely worth the investment. It's an elegant gourmand perfume with notes of orange blossom and sweet praline. The blend is impeccable, combining white florals with a sweet undertone, making you feel as if you're enveloped in a cloud of goodness. I didn't find it overpowering or cloying, it's nothing like Angel or Poison. It's suitable for office wear. I would recommend reserving this for cooler weather, as this is when I find myself craving the sweetness of gourmand fragrances. It has a strong projection for about 3-4 hours, but I could still detect it as a skin scent 8+ hours later. Considering its price tag, it's a fantastic perfume and quite a crowd-pleaser. This is not a teenage perfume, as it targets a slightly older audience that appreciates elegance and well-refined fragrances. If you're a fan of Elie Saab Le Parfum, you're likely to love this one, but don't assume they're very similar. I would recommend testing it before purchasing. Le Parfum in White was created by Francis Kurkdjian, and it feels like one of his best creations. If you're like me and love to keep a variety of perfumes in rotation, causing your bottles to last for years, expect this perfume to change its color to a darker shade. However, this doesn't affect the scent. I just sprayed my bottle from 2019, and it still smells divine. I would definitely repurchase when the bottle runs out. This review is based on actual use of the parfume and not a one time test experience. I have a bottle of 50ml of Le Parfum in White. Also have a big bottle of Le Parfum, which I re purchased over the years. Also love Le Parfum Rose and Lau. However I absolutely hate the Royal eddition.

This perfume is rare and gorgeous like a white pearl. Let's start from the fact that you will enjoy two entirely different perfumes if you use it in cold vs. warm months. When I purchased this scent, it was relatively cold (below 10 C) and I could clearly pick up the berry note in head while citrus fruits were there but playing a non protagonist role. The berry note gives a playful, unique character that makes this perfume unmistakable with others. Now that is summer I can't detect the berry at all while I get a lot of refreshing, juicy citrus fruits. I prefer in its winter side although I may say that getting more citrus fruits makes is much suited for summer. The heart with white flowers is constant over temperatures and give the perfume a very feminine, classy touch. Finally, in the end I get a lot of clean, innocent musk sweetened by the other notes. To me this perfume is a masterpiece. It is an unique scent although done with "classic", maybe even common, notes. An excellent example on how creating something original by starting from well known ingredients. I love it. The duration is quite good considering that is a "fresh and clean" scent, 6-8 hours on skin and days on clothes and the sillage is moderate. This is am entirely different scent from the original La parfum. It seems addressed as bridal perfume although I can say it is very wearable and can make an excellent every day scent. Plus I see the classical version much more elegant than this and more appropriate for weddings and/or formal events. To me this is a fresh, clean, unique in its simplicity, femminine, very versatile scent that I am so happy to have in my collection.

Like someone already, very accurately, pointed out, this fragrance is basically Piz Buin sunscreen in the form of EDP. If you are familiar with that very distinct, particular scent, you can even blind buy this fragrance because you already know what it smells like. Personally, I discovered Piz Buin about fifteen years ago, as soon as I had my own money to spend on beauty products, and the scent won me over in an instant. I've used other brands here and there, but I've kept going back to that one consistently. Therefore, I can only smell one note in this scent and that is, you guessed it, Piz Buin, with some patchouli in the dry down. Besides all that, it is still a beautiful, cheerful, romantic summer in a bottle perfume. I would prefer this for summer evenings, but I think it can work for any time and occasion as well. It's also important to note that the first time I tried it, I received a compliment by a strange woman sitting next to me on the bus, on my way home. Also, it's one of the few perfumes that my significant other has noticed and complimented me on. It's a crowd pleasing, likable and elegant scent. It's all about orange blossom, with a vaguely exotic, creamy, coconut-but-not-quite background.

The most dominant note I (quite surprisingly) get from this one is very sweet and fresh pear. Along come the other fruits, jasmine and a hint of patchouli. The drydown is very sweet pear syrup with a touch of vanilla. I do think this is a very sweet scent and I can easily understand why some might see this as overly sweet. I don't usually like fruit syrupy scents either. But since I somehow manage to find a very clear fresh pear note in this one, which for me in it's uniqueness justifies all the sweetness and at the same time makes the sweetness so fresh and fruity, I have to say I really like this. Pure joy in a bottle. I like this better than the original Le Parfum, since this one does not take itself so seriuosly and is so much more playful and flirty. My "sweet and fresh pear note" just might be white florals mixed with the red fruits (mentioned in the description, pear not being exactly a red fruit..) and vanilla, who knows, but since it almost screams pear to me, I will maintain my view. I just wonder if anyone else gets any pear notes from this one?

After researching the Elie Saab Le Parfum line, I decided to blind buy this one—Le Parfum In White. This perfume is heady; an unapologetically beautiful and fragrant white floral. It’s not a subtle skin scent, but it remains classy and elegant, making it suitable for any occasion. The opening is sharp and citrusy (I don’t seem to detect the red berries—maybe more of a red berry lemonade?). Then, it settles into an addictive blend of sweet orange blossom and jasmine. This phase lasts quite long, before drying down to a soapy, musky, and powdery scent—almost a skin scent at that point. Performance: • On clothes: lasts for multiple days. • On skin: lasts all day. • Sillage: average. If you love white florals, you will love this one! It’s perfect for spring and works well in summer too. I’m not the biggest fan of patchouli, but I can barely detect it here—or it blends so well with the other notes that it enhances the fragrance beautifully. I’ve been looking for a scent like this for so long, and I’ve finally found it!

By the time my 30ml bottle of Elie Saab Le Parfum in White came to me, it had already turned a beautiful amber hue. “It’s sealed but old”, the seller had told me. “That’s perfect” I’d thought to myself. And it was! It is a perfect scent. I took my time with orange blossom, but once I got hooked to the hypnotic orange blossom and whipped cream in JPG Classique Essence, there was no turning back. Le Parfum in White, maybe because it doesn’t have the aldehydes of Classique Essence, is warm from the get go. It is a voluptuous fragrance in the sense that it embraces you. The berries and the peach definitely do a good job of sweetening it up - just right. And maybe because of the patchouli, but I get a Chanel-esque feel from it. Like a warmer, sweeter Coco Mademoiselle. No they are not even similar, but I get that same vibe when I wear it - regal, elegant. Like someone who would know how to conduct themselves at a proper tea. The mistress of etiquette. The ever smiling hostess.

Ok.. I got this in a tester kit I ordered off Mercari. I reached for it last because I had the least interest in it. Oh my.. this is my favorite and I'm purchasing a full bottle. This is such a beautifully unexpected scent. There is a bit of citrus zest in the opening which I usually don't go for, but this is a soft freshness surrounded by white flowers, jasmine, with a well blended patchouli in the background. It's GORGEOUS. I also get a big of the orange blossom and vanilla on the dry down. Far surpassed my expectations. Not sure why I never looked into this. Likely because "Girl of Now" and its flankers are so heavily praised on social media, this one is heavily overlooked. I typically stray away from patchouli fragrances, and while I do smell it in this, there is something so... girly and soft about this. I could see this being worn by a bride or just a woman who is incredibly confident and self assured. You have to smell it to understand it. LOVE!

I enjoy Le parfum in White enourmously! Addictive and luminous is an exactly right description. I have only recently met this one at the store and took the spritzed card with me. By the end of the day I knew that I had to have the largest available bottle and ordered it right away. In the meanwhile the card was laying on the table, tantalizing me with the scent for three days. The perfume itself is bliss in a bottle: rounded, coconutty with a hint of ananas, slightly fizzy. That is how a freshly flowered jasmin bush smells in the sunny but mildly warm day. I can never just walk past it, I have to bury my face in the flowers and stay for a minute or two. In White gives a lux skincare vibe for a relaxing holiday stay any time of the year. You can tell that it is related to Girl of Now, original with the blue petals, but has a different kind of beauty. I am very glad to have both.

I've liked a few elie saab perfumes, some I haven't though - that 'Girl of Now' for me was a 'Girl of Never' and Nuit Noor was an uber spice disaster. Others I've liked, but not enough to buy. But I bought this one. It's lovely, seriously lovely! There's no pear or cedar notes, that on me are volatile and unpredictable. That's where this wins my vote, it's so well balanced, even the Jasmine is easy to get along with. It's so feminine and one of the nicest orange blossoms I've got. For me the patchouli is actually non invasive, I'm not sure if I even notice it that much, sometimes it can really ruin a fragrance. The musks dance in the background and the white amber and berries sustain and lift it. It's so good! Try it if you see it. The sillage is very good and the longevity is around 8 hours for me. Lovely dry down too, it holds the florals for a long time.

I was very surprised at this perfume, it’s so beautiful. I use the mini and it has a dabber which allows me to use it with control. It’s sweet but is beautiful and classy at the same time. I can’t stop smelling my wrist. My husband says there is a whiff of candy but it smell very good. The dry down is calming and beautiful. I hesitated on wearing this because of some of reviews. I am finding it really depends on how much you wear. I am a light wearer of perfumes, so my husband and I are really the only ones who smell my perfumes when I wear them. Some people say this is sickly sweet. Maybe they wore too much??? This perfume is lightly sweet, and the white musk, white amber and vanilla that mixes so well is what left after the dry down, with a light hint of peach. I love this perfume at first wear.

this is my new favorite! i never really knew how i felt about orange blossom- but if what everyone is saying is true; that this is an orange blossom bomb- then i'm in love! this is very sweet but i dont find it heavy or cloying like a syrupy gourmand. it starts off bright and fresh and citrusy (i noticed Elie Saab does citrus particularly well. i usually dont like citrus) but then the vanilla comes through pretty quickly and i'm reminded of some kind of cookie. Like a vanilla wafer or lady finger soaked in a liqueur. or an Italian biscotti with that little hint of orange zest in the mix. this is definitely a happy, spring time fragrance, but i also LOVE wearing it on the colder, rainy spring days as a warm cozy pick me up. i think this is suitable for all weather and occasions.

One of the classiest scents I own! This has been one of my favorite scents since it launched and I used to spray this 25/8 when I worked in a fragrance store. It smells expensive in a discrete and non obnoxious kind of way. I also think it performs better on certain people's body chemistry and pheromones and will warm up accordingly. I therefore don't see it as a blind buy as it has the potential to turn sour on certain people. On me, I find it to be uplifting which brings me to a happy place because it is very reminiscent of the beach and good times. Sillage is great and extends well beyond arm's length. Works equally well in cool and warm weather since it has an underlying clean note. Overall, this fragrance is very unique and sparkles in its own way on the right person

What a pretty little gem of a scent this is!! I just love it. This creates a very bright, optimistic, friendly aura around the wearer. It has the same soapy white floral accord that runs through most of the Elie Saab Le Parfum line, but in this fragrance it's blended into a fruity burst in the opening, and a warm, slightly spicy, amber base. (Does anyone else smell a peppery note here?) Don't hear "spicy amber" and think of a deep, heavy scent the way some amber perfumes tend to be - this has enough lightness to be worn year round in any season or for any occasion. A very pretty, clean, and elegant scent with the perfect level of mature sweetness. Very feminine, but without much sex appeal. EDIT: It smells better in the summer heat! Try it yourself!

This was love at first smell, I didn't even try to decipher the notes because the way they were curated made perfect sense and nothing felt out of place. I'm beginning to realise that amber and white florals are the absolute loves of my life especially when Alien is my signature. Even though patchouli is listed which I hate, it's almost undetectable. I sprayed this in class and someone immediately says "someone smells like the hello kitty spray", you know the one that every girl used in high school and smells like grape? The projection must be godly because this person was standing 5 metres away from me. I only have a tester vial but I will definitely treat myself to a full sized bottle when I finish my studies for the year. Rank: A+

Upon spraying you get a burst of the fresh mandarin and blackcurrant. It's juicy! Not too sweet, but very fruity. It moves into the heart with orange blossom and jasmine. The base of the original Le Parfum, but a new perfume altogether. I can almost smell a honeysuckle vibe, and I suppose that's where people smell Burberry London in it. I don't detect any woods or patchouli in the dry down. This is softer in that way. The white musk is soft and feminine. This is one pleasant perfume! In White is the official bridal perfume for Elie Saab, but I still think the original Le Parfum takes the cake and says "I'm the bride." Top Notes: Mandarin & Blackcurrant Bud Heart notes: Jasmine & Orange Blossom Base Notes: White Musk & Patchouli

Tested this one in my local perfume counter. Same orange blossom and honey where the Le Parfum's DNA lies yet oh so feminine, sweet and light. Closest one for me is the Le Parfum EDT. Well crafted and balanced. I get mostly the orange blossom and jasmine enveloped with sweet sweet honey, red berries and amber completing the scent. I am convinced that I need this one in my life. Now I understand why this one is associated with a woman's wedding day. It's that scent that you want to get reminded of a perfect day, whether it be something grand of marrying the love of your life, of having a perfect spring afternoon lying lazily on the grass, to having fun in state fairs eating funnel cakes.

Ellie saab just outdone himself by making this perfume.. stunning!!! I purchased this recently and instantly fell in love with it that it’s now my signature perfume 🥰 Filled with sweet , syrupy , orange blossom , citrusy delicious notes 😋 ❤️ (Reminds me of orange marmalade 🍊 ) Base notes are filled with vanilla goodness which I adore . I was surprised it contains bergamot note .. I usually cannot stand this note but I cannot smell it at all in here *Suitable for mature sophisticated women (25-35) , Fall/spring daytime- not so much for the summer . Longevity almost 12 hours .. I got many compliments wearing it so the Sillage is very good compared to the price just Wow!!❤️❤️

I feel like I can’t really do this one justice in a review! It is just so, so lovely. It starts out with a citrusy-red berry burst, and quickly settles into a white floral/ambery scent with hints of said citrus and berries. I absolutely adore it. Le Parfum in White reminds me of Kenzo World edp, but with a vanilla/amber finish. I also get hints of Valentino DBIR intense, oddly enough - I assume that’s maybe the benzoin? Idk, but this one also has great longevity and good silage, and has quickly become a part of my regular perfume rotation. The price for the quality is stellar as well. This is one that I most certainly anticipate re-purchasing for as long as it’s available

This perfume ROCKS! I recently wore this to a outdoor wedding when it was 90 degrees hot and humid, and it performed great. It smelled great, whenever there was a breeze it blew across me and my husband could smell it and he said it smelled so good. This perfume is one of my favorites, its perfect for any occasions and any age. I just love Elie Saab perfumes, they are never too overbearing. They are classy and never sickly sweet. The difference between the Le Parfum and Le Parfum in White is the Peach and the other fruits in Le Parfum in White. Both fragrances are beautiful but Le Parfum in White is more fruity. If you can only get one I would suggest Le Parfum in White.

Wow! Amazing fragrance! It smells really classy, sophisticated, and I can't fault anything about it. Beautiful floral that's also sweet without being too sweet. I smell flowers with a bit of nectarine/peach, as well as honey. All notes are perfectly blended together. Has an element in it which reminds me of the original La Parfum, which honestly to me, I could not see myself liking, but this (which is not too similar) - I love! Timeless and elegant perfume - perfect for a bride on her wedding day, although it's good to be worn every day. Amazing sillage and longevity. Very strong yet inoffensive and pleasant to wear and to smell on others. A must have in my collection!
