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.
