Fresia مقابل Blanche

Santa Maria Novella Fresia is well-regarded within the r/fragrance community as a quintessential clean, soapy floral that aligns with East Asian fragrance preferences. Multiple community members praise it as a daily wear staple, though its limited availability outside Asia and subtle projection may deter Western fragrance enthusiasts seeking more pronounced scents.

Byredo Blanche is a polarizing fragrance that divides the community. While some appreciate its clean laundry aesthetic and use it as a subtle office scent, many find the aldehydic opening aggressively soapy and synthetic, comparing it to detergent or cleaning products. The fragrance is frequently criticized as overpriced given its linear nature, with cheaper alternatives like Moschino Toy 2 available.
