/ 10 community score
Blanche Absolu receives mixed reviews from the r/fragrance community, with opinions sharply divided between those who love its clean, fresh aesthetic and those who find it smells like industrial cleaner. While successful blind buyers appreciate its Byredo quality and aldehydic composition, many expected it to be a more faithful concentrated version of the original Blanche, noting it's sweeter and closer to fragrances like Another 13 or Baccarat Rouge instead.
