whisking me away into dreamland

every nose is different and ive tried so many lactonic/milky type of fragrances (like phlur heavy cream that one was super sour i hated it... ), but this is so soft and lovely on me i had to order a bigger size bottle, it is like whisking me away into bed just overall soft and comforting after shower scent for me!

Full Real Review

Blanche Bête — Liquides Imaginaires The first spray of Blanche Bête is a little rough. I get a brief alcohol-like opening before the vanilla and baby-powder scent come through. Once it settles, there’s a faint woody quality that I can pick up, along with a creamy sweetness. It’s not an overly sugary, nor a burnt-sugar kind of vanilla, which I appreciate, but there’s a creamy quality to it that starts becoming a little nauseating for my taste. I can see this working beautifully as a fall fragrance. It has that warm, creamy vanilla character that would probably appeal to someone who enjoys wrapping themselves in a cozy scent when the weather gets colder. However, I kept coming back to one thought: there’s nothing particularly special about it. It smells pleasant enough, but it doesn’t feel distinctive or memorable. Even if I were someone who loved vanilla perfumes, I don’t think this would be the one I’d spend my money on. There are more interesting vanilla fragrances out there. If you enjoy creamy, powdery vanilla without the heavy bakery or burnt-sugar sweetness, this may be worth sampling. Just know that the creaminess is quite prominent, and if you prefer airy, fresh fragrances like I do, it might not be your cup of tea. My scent profile: I gravitate toward modern, airy, clean fragrances with fresh soapiness, creamy musk, and a polished finish. I enjoy vanilla when it’s subtle and blended with something fresh, but I don’t usually reach for bakery-like, overly creamy, or sugary scents. I also want a fragrance to feel distinctive, especially when it comes with a luxury price tag.

Very milky

A light, airy, lactonic fragrance. Subtle, ethereal, milky, and powdery with a touch of musk, incense, tonka, cacao, and florals. Makes me feel like a ghost of a Victorian woman that took milk baths. 7.5/10
