Blanc Kogane

This fragrance is stunning. Let me say this, however, it is a very Jasmine forward scent and Jasmine flower is known to smell like urine a bit. So, you might get that at the beginning as the very pure and realistic Jasmine is the top note. But, that quickly dissipates and you will get the gorgeous musks, lily and vetiver and the best part of the Jasmine (not the urine part) stays around as a supporting note. When I tell you it is gorgeous after about 20 minutes, I do mean gorgeous... Whenever I wear this out, people will follow me to ask me what I am wearing. My husband had a small surgery and 2 nurses followed me out to ask what I was wearing and another asked as I was wheeling my husband to the car lol. I can say that I don't smell it so much on myself but people smell it on you. Very lady like, classy and sophisticated in my eyes. Def try it as it is stunning but give it a few minutes to dry down.

The opening on my skin smells like a much better made, more substantial and complex JHAG Musc invisible, before morphing in 15 minutes to a higher quality Kiels original musk. Has nothing to do with Le Labo Musc 25 which is my favorite white musk from any house, full stop. This one also has a clean laundry element with the Egyptian jasmine, and a warm cotton vibe. If you are a white musk and aldeyde lover like me, you will absolutely like this. What you won't like is the price and performance. But in any case, if cost is not a concern, then this is a great option in this genre. I'd love to stumble onto a reasonably priced partial. ------------------------------------------------------ Scent 93/100 Performance 60/100 (good longevity, light projection) P.S. Sample first, Armani Prive are heavily counterfeited.

I like spraying it on my clothes definitely more than spraying on skin. On skin you get a very sharp cheap shampoo kind of smell but the dry down is why I decided to buy it even though it’s so expensive. It dries down to this gentle but mesmerizing innocent(?) scent that’s like clean fur from a beast that cleans itself with milk(pls don’t quote me on this, I just yap whatever comes to mind). I wouldn’t say it’s milky but it slightly reminds of the scent you get from milk soaps and it lasts basically like at least a week even with just 1 spray on your clothes. I say it’s a 10/10 but the head and heart notes are definitely not it.

Reminds me a little of White Linen (Estee Lauder) and a little of Musc Outreblanc (Guerlein) but, in my humble opinion, is superior to both. This one is so well-balanced between the animalic and clean facets of the jasmine, the gentle sexiness of musk, and that astringent femininity of aldehyde (so well done!!), and it has outdone all the musk/white flower themed perfumed I've tried (including Valaya by Parfums de Marly). It makes one think of a well put-together lady with chic and class, and I get compliments from friends with fine taste. It is pricy but will last you forever and is worth every penny!

To me this is the epitome of a summer scent & one of my favorite musks. I’m not sure why but my noses picks up on a heavy salt note. My best description would be is - A beautiful strong musk accompanied by notes of salt & a beautiful jasmine to balance it all out. It’s a strong performer & lasts a long time on clothes (around 12 hours). People are hyping up cedar chic, but imo this is sooo much better.
