Neiges

Neiges by Lise Watier is a highly distinctive, crystalline white floral with a powerful, clean-pure aura that evokes snow, aldehydes, and a soapy musk. It opens with a bold, effervescent burst of hyacinth, lily-of-the-valley, jasmine, and magnolia, creating a radiant, nearly translucent floral vivacity. The scent balances freshness with subtle warmth, blending green, citrus, and white floral notes before settling into a delicate, powdery musk with sandalwood undertones. Its longevity is decent to long, and sillage is strong, which some find overwhelming. The perfume has a crisp, almost clinical cleanliness reminiscent of fine white soap or a vintage department store, giving it an elegant, mature sophistication. It leans toward winter and cooler climates, flourishing in autumn and winter wear, though some find it suitable year-round. The intensity can border on overwhelming, especially with multiple sprays, and some perceive an initial aldehyde or hair spray-like note that fades into a calmer, soapy musk. Many associate it with nostalgia, elegance, and a timeless sense of grace, ideal for those seeking a refined, unapologetically floral scent without sweetness. It is not for those preferring sugary, gourmand, or heavy oriental themes.
