Printemps Blanc

Toned down version of Valaya Exclusif

I am so glad I was able to try a sample because, in my opinion, this is not worth the amount of praise influencers have been giving. To my nose, this is the fragrance that was secretly jealous of Valaya Exclusif, so they made one that mimicks the same scent profile, but with less projection, less powdery notes, wears closer to the skin and lasts for much less time.

Radiant and addictive

Printemps Blanc opens with a very juicy grapefruit that I didn’t really like upon first spray as I’m not a citrus girly but now I’m addicted to it! I find myself sniffing the bottle even when I’m wearing something else. The white florals are soft and the vanilla is gentle, such a beautiful and feminine fragrance. Very similar to Nishane’s Hundred Silent Ways which is perhaps a bit more of an all year rounder. I will probably only wear Printemps in the spring and summer but I’ll be thinking of her when I’m not!

Sweeeetness

It's bright and very sweet - orange blossom sweet. The jasmine has been smothered with sugar syrup. It's nice but it fades rather quickly; it lasted maybe 2-3 hours with minimal projection. Not full bottle worthy but I will enjoy my decant!
