White Zest presents a bright, lemony opening with a subtle creamy vanilla and woody base, evoking the crisp freshness of a summer morning. It shares underlying similarities with Chanel Allure Edition Blanche, particularly in its powdery citrus tone, but leans more sharply toward lemon zest and tonka bean, creating a sharper, less blended impression. The scent performs effortlessly in warm weather, especially during daytime hours, with noticeable projection even without repeated application. While many users appreciate its fresh, clean aroma and affordable price point, the fragrance is notably short-lived, fading significantly within 2 to 4 hours on skin—though it may last longer when sprayed on clothing or doubled for increased staying power. The dry-down is soft and airy, retaining a lingering sweetness without becoming overly sweet or synthetic.
