by Jesus Del Pozo
Jesus Del Pozo In White is a clean, soft white floral with a prominent lemon blossom opening that some find sharp or chemically synthetic. It unfolds into a delicate bouquet of jasmine, orange blossom, magnolia, freesia, and orchid, supported by powdery iris and musk. The dry down is smooth, slightly soapy, and quietly sensual, leaning toward a refined, airy elegance rather than bold intensity. While it bears a strong resemblance to Dior Pure Poison, it is more fresh, lighter, and less complex, with a cooler, more citrus-tinged character and a visible green bamboo note in the initial stage. Some interpret the scent as retro, clean laundry, or vintage-inspired, others find it sleek and modern. It performs well in warm weather, particularly spring and summer, and proves to be surprisingly long-lasting for an EDT. Despite not being universally loved—some find it underwhelming or too synthetic—the consensus is that it delivers a graceful, wearable white floral at a fraction of the price of its famous counterpart.
