White Tea and Lemon
As the name indicates, this one is a white floral. "Dominante Blanche"? Yes, the "white" aspects are dominant, on my skin it's all about white tea and a strange lemondrop-note, which I don't enjoy. Leather and saffron are hard to detect, they are mentioned in the pyramide, but I can't single them out like in other fragrances where I have no trouble in pinpointing them...
All in all, this scent is a huge disappointment to me. Inspired by very enthousiastic reviews on the German Parfumo-page, I ordered a sample, because I normally adore fragrances containing leather, apricot and saffron (e.g. "Daim Blond" by Serge Lutens). But this weird lady in white called "LALE" doesn't impress me at all. She's closer to Elléna's tea-perfumes than to anything with a bit more spice and oomph. If it's tea you're after, "Lale" could be an interesting lemony option, albeit an expensive one (around 150 Euros). If you're looking for more depth and volume, pass!
