Pretty but sits too close to the skin
Blanc de Paris opens with a jumble of citrus notes and white florals, reminding me of lime. Very fresh and green, and a little sour in a pleasant way, on a bed of what seems to be watery resins.
On my skin, musk only comes into play 20 minutes later, and I feel that it really helps to draw out the floral in this. There's also a woodiness to it that lends some dimension. It's actually almost creamy and powdery in a rather feminine way. At this stage, it's a pretty fragrance.
It doesn't really develop much beyond that. Instead, it just becomes more and more of a skin scent the longer it goes, lasting for a grand total of about 4 hours.
I enjoyed the other Scent on Canvas creations, so I very much wanted to like this too, but it sits much too close to the skin. I have to really bury my nose in my skin to get a good whiff of it, but from what I got, it's a classy, professional scent with a hint of soft charm. It's worth a try because it might work better on you!
