Absolutely! It’s feminine to my taste, but since it’s floral, it doesn’t smell like those typical mature fragrances. It’s distinct: it opens with a bright, green, citrusy note. Then comes a bouquet of flowers with energy that shines and evokes spring right away. It feels very fresh; if it’s not citrus, it’s the ginger. In essence, it’s a spring and daytime perfume that, with all its flowers, shines with character-giving notes. I liked it, though I wouldn’t wear it myself; on a woman of middle age, it brings a very pleasant natural freshness. The longevity is just right, but very interesting.
One of the best in this line for unisex wear. It has a strong herbal opening with a floral touch. Even though the components are pure flowers, it has a soft earthy note that makes it unisex. The longevity is good, though not excellent. It might be worth buying.
The fragrance opens spectacularly, like walking into an exclusive florist shop filled with high-quality iris and hyacinths. It has that green, fresh floral touch I always miss in florals. After a while, it becomes creamy but keeps the freshness. Duchess Rose is usually labeled as the youthful floral in the Portraits series, but for me, Blanche gives it a thousand turns: it’s much fresher and more durable. A pure pleasure. I can’t stop smelling my wrist. I’ve never even liked iris, but the ‘monarch quality’ is noticeable. With floral, iris, and green accords, it’s perfectly unisex. It doesn’t smell like generic or powdery flowers. I think it would be beautiful on men or women, and the male audience could enjoy this sober, delicate floral scent. It’s versatile across ages and genders, but I’d limit it to warm seasons.
Naguara… an iris bomb! It’s the most feminine in the collection. If you like iris, you’ll love this fragrance; if not, you’ll hate it. The other flowers are heavily muted by the preponderant presence of iris. Iris, iris, and more iris. But with that monarch quality, haha.
