Popeline Blanche

Quintessentially classic Italian perfumery. This one also answers what do you do when you have to create a high quality perfume on a budget. With the advent of clone houses becoming the flagbearers of affordable perfumery, this skill is becoming highly underrated today. Used to be that master perfumers like Nathalie Lorson and Geza Schoen created artful, well crafted perfumes with good ingredients for houses like 4711, Bentley or Lalique. Today one would increasingly rather pick up a clone from a French Avenue or Ajmal it seems. So when an old school budget fragrance comes along, I really appreciate it. Enter Popeline Blanche. And surprisingly, this dying typology has been resurrected by none other than the trend masters Zara. The only downside is how long it lasts - but given how fresh of a fragrance this is, it shouldn't be surprising. This is a great fragrance - and not just for the price. This is a great fragrance period. It sits very comfortably on my fresh fragrance shelf among the Chanels, Guerlains and PDMs holding its own. I'm very glad to have it... 9/10

10/10- Steaming fresh linen. It is difficult for simple compositions to get a perfect score but this one is a 10/10 in my books. The perfume smells like fresh clean linen straight out of the laundry, this is an amazing scent for the high heat. It has a touch of sweetness which makes it even more gorgeous once it settles on your skin. Neroli in this is not overpowering with a solid unobtrusive bergamot up top. I'd happily take the Popeline Blanche for the morning and the Encre Noire for the evening for the rest of my life. Popeline Blanche- Bergamot, Neroli, Cotton and Musk. Encre Noire- Cypress, Vetiver, Cashmere and Musk. Notice the similarities or perhaps the differences between the two fragrances?

In terms of fragrance, friends made some good and appropriate comments. One thing I want to mention is the quality of the bottle and the writing on it. In my opinion, the perfume bottle is not of good quality and although I protect the perfume bottle, the writing on it is getting erased! And it shows the poor quality of the printing on the bottle. از نظر رایحه که دوستان صحبتهای خوب و بجایی کردند. نکته ای که من میخواهم به آن اشاره کنم؛ در مورد کیفیت بطری و نوشته های روی اون هست. از نظر من بطری عطر کیفیت خوبی نداره و با اینکه من از بطری عطر محافظت میکنم؛ ولی نوشته های روی اون داره پاک میشه! و نشان از کیفیت پایین چاپ بر روی بطری رو داره

Great "cologne" release. Perfectly unisex (only branded towards male population), refreshing in an elegant manner, incredible quality compared to its price tag, very good projection and longevity for this type of fragrances (just to be used generously, don't be shy on the atomizer). Already compared to Mugler, I would add also Dior Homme Cologne and in some way also Ganymede (not that longevity, though) And yes - grab it before Zara deletes the name of the creator from the bottle (I think it is the catch with all their fragrance reformulations)

Every time after not having smelled this perfume for a while, I always have the same reaction: oooh this smells so good. It smells clean, comforting, clean linnen in the summer . Or having your nose in the clothes of your mum when you’re a kid . It feels like a safe Haven. It also has this smell when you take out your clothes out of the dryer, this very clean , fresh smell.I really love it I spray on my pillows before I go to bed and it feels like heaven
