The Blanc
by Solinotes
The Blanc by Solinotes is a light, refreshing, and highly balanced white tea fragrance with a crisp citrus opening. It features bergamot and cardamom for a zesty, herbal lift, followed by delicate sage and white tea notes that lend a clean, almost spa-like quality. The dry down reveals a soft musk and subtle floral osmanthus, creating a gentle, sophisticated scent with a touch of warmth and spiciness. It’s fairly brief in lasting power, fading quickly and only moderately projected, making it ideal for daytime wear in warm weather. The fragrance is unisex in appeal, though some find its short life a drawback, especially on dry skin where it vanishes within minutes. It serves well as a layering base or a standalone light scent for summer and spring occasions. Despite its affordability, it feels refined and nuanced, especially when compared to brands like Elizabeth Arden Green Tea or Bvlgari The Blanc.
