Wearers say
Wearing it
A cozy, lactonic vanilla with prominent tuberose and a touch of incense that lasts all day. It polarizes wearers who either find it heavenly or pick up sour milk.
How far it carriesIntimate to arm's length
Perfumers call it sillage.
It sits intimate to moderate rather than filling whole rooms, though wafts carry easily throughout the day.
“Projection-wise, Blanche Bête doesn’t really scream.”
