Blanc Paul & Joe for women

This fragrance is rather bizarre, I cant say I have smelled anything else like it. There is a cold, metallic element that is very jarring, its rather chemical and pungent and noticeable from the first sniff. I get the almond and milk, but its not soft and dreamy, instead sharp, sterile and synthetic. There is a perfume-y undercurrent throughout it that is beautifully compelling, but the whole fragrance feels like its boxing with itself. Nothing seems to fit well and its a series of jabs and punches, bobbing and weaving. It just doesn't flow. I cant wear it because I know it will gnaw on my brain and give me a headache, but I cant get rid of it because its so unique and addictive. Its not a bad perfume by any means, its just different.

This perfume reminds me of Ti Amo Iris, it has that very similar milky almondy scent. The bottle is beautiful, it's pure white with silver. On the picture I thought the bottle looked cheap, but when I finally got it I was wow, this is beautiful and smells beautiful as well. It actually lasts a while on my skin.

I blind bought this based on my successful blind purchase of Bleu based on reviews here.. (HA!)
This is what I kinda hoped it would be which is what I had hoped Burberry Brit would be but wasnt. (")
What that means is.. it is milky and nutty and doesnt smell like cookie dough and plastic.
Warm and cool at the same time.
close to the skin with not much projection.
I am getting the lily and sweet pea notes but no Rose and I dont know what hawthorn and anjelica smell like. Detecting the undertone of musk...
I think this is a nice office or bed time scent.
re the bottle.. It is lovely and not clunky which makes it transportable for freshening.
I dont think I love this scent but I like it.
Edit
A good hour into the scent I detected some very gentle rose notes.
this has some character of Jil Sander Style but not nearly as good.

The best blind buy ever! So freshly enchanting I can't stop sniffing myself. Milky and nutty. So yummy!!

I have to say this is really nice. The top notes come across a little strong to me at first, and the freesia seems noticeable for a while, but then the dry down is really soft and slightly addictive. I wish it had a little more strength in the dry down phase, but it wears very close to the skin. Kind of a "your skin but better" type of scent. I'm keen to try Bleu now.

This perfume is just like the "Le Petites Folies 00:10 - Lulu Castagnette". Same!
I expected more from it ...
It is sweet but soft, has a strong smell of white sugar and flowers.

I sought this one out for a sample as it sounded charming. This to me is Kenzo Amour Florale through the heart notes (luminous transparent white flowers). It doesn't have the same fruity top notes and it's a little less orange blossom. They both have a beautiful sweet pea note which is uncommon in fragrances and always a treat.

The base here is a little richer, a little creamier and woody. The draw backs are the sillage and lasting power. I would give it half that of Amour Florale.

If you want a good all rounder this is lovely but I would choose Amour Florale over this any day.

Blanc is a fresh floral created by Jean Claude Ellena. Blanc, which features notes of hawthorn, angelica, almond, sweet pea, freesia, lily, rose, musk, heliotrope and cloud of milk. Blanc shares several notes (hawthorn, angelica, heliotrope, maybe iris) with another Jean Claude Ellena fragrance, L’Eau d’Hiver from Frederic Malle, and in fact, while they are not identical twins, they might fairly be called relatives. What differences they have are more obvious in the first 20 minutes, when Hiver has considerably more presence, and Blanc feels rather like Hiver’s younger, fresher, calmer cousin. The new bottle is very pretty - white porcelain+silver!!! UP FOR SWAP @ my swaptopic. Check it out!! :D

First off, I was very disappointed by this fragrance which I had heard described as 'a cold glass of milk.' I get no milk notes at all, ever, anywhere, in this fragrance. What I do get is the top notes clear and clean, sweetening down to a watery floral. There's no other notes at this point, just flowers: sweet pea, waterlily, sunny lily. Very fresh. Very flowery, no milk anywhere to be seen. That being said, it's a very lovely scent, fresh and like a picture of spring. But I sure would've liked to smell the milk. I usually like Jean Claude Ellena's creations..and I'm finding as I add this last line, that I do like this quite a bit. It has grown on me and now I crave it, in the middle of winter. It is somehow comforting and lovely at the same time. Pale, cool and still all floral. In larger quantities, I detect distinct similarities to Apres l'Ondee. Sniffed side by side (or wrist by wrist), they are very close in character. Lovely. EDIT: And I've bought the full bottle. Fell madly in love with this light, clear and yes, after much acquaintance, slightly milky scent. An all time favorite now.

Paul & Joe Blanc is a seriously underrated fragrance. When I first tested it, I was quite taken aback, as it stirred some deep emotion in me which only Angelique sous la pluie had stirred. Little surprise to find the same nose was responsible for the creation of both, namely, Jean Claude Ellena. In short, understated, gentle, innocent, comforting, clean. Sunny days by the stream, daisy chains and sleepy warmth. I immediately bought a bottle. Just lovely.

This is a lovely, light, sheer white floral, perfect for Spring and Summer. On my skin I smell only a whisper of almond; instead, it's a beautifully blended floral, appropriate for any setting, and for any age group. The "milk" grows a little more pronounced in the dry down, and that adds a touch of comfort to this discrete masterpiece.
