Lady White Snake

Highly charismatic, rather dominant grande-dame scent with attitude - while infinitely more femme than most things I gravitate to, something about its leathery undertow and the way the flowers are braided together was/is totally convincing. With all those sweet, often overbearing florals - honeysuckle AND jasmine AND tuberose? Good golly, miss Molly - you might presume it would be cloying and tacky and oversugared, but no way. This is a grown-up lady who's been around and seen some things, and could teach any first-timer a thing or two. It's beautifully judged - maybe the magnolia in the middle which brings everything together in perfect balance, and gives it a proper centre of gravity. Not remotely a teeny-girly posy or fake-ingenue garland, but rather a lush and sweeping sort of symphonic scent. Still not quite my world, but it is so absolutely leagues out of the usual flower-vase arrangement that even my fellow floral-ambivalent sniffers may well be won over. Stiffly priced, but then nothing about its aura seems cheap, so fair enough. Perhaps not my thing in the end, but I loved trying it. Give it a chance and see if it does the (serious) business for you.

Lady White Snake - Is a beautiful white floral with slightly powdery undertones scent, with a touch of very subtle leather to give it some extra punch.. (nothing off-putting in my honest opinion) Love upon first sniff just like the fragrances this one reminds me of that I have purchased as presents for ladies in my family in the past, that fragrance being Roja Parfums - Reckless (Pour Femme) I guess if you imagine that fragrance as a base of this fragrance then overpower that with a bouquet of white florals then you have something along the lines of Lady White Snake. I will add though despite the similarities this one isn't redundant, it does its own thing and it does it very well.

Absolute beauty. Took me awhile to fall in love with the tester but I will be getting this asap. It's signature scent worthy. White floral bomb on first spray. I was hoping for this to be a tuberose forward fragrance but it's blended with the other florals so much that I can't pick it out most times. I get a lot of magnolia. The white leather (plasticky, dusty, suede-like) comes through HARD. Kind of powdery not in the makeup way but in an powder made from dry ground up florals way. Very soft. When it's completely dried down it's sexy and a little spicy with a subtle floral greenness. Probably my favorite take on a white florals.

One of the best orange blossom + honeysuckle + magnolia + jasmine fragrances I have had the pleasure of testing. It's super feminine, a true delight on spring, summer, and autumn mornings. I don't smell anything which is aggressive (at least to my nose), it's just a strong, well-executed blend of white florals. Like other SHL fragrances, wish they lasted longer + a bigger quantity would be nice, as clearly 50ml isn't enough for some of us.

After testing and wearing this fragrance several times, I actually realized what made me see it as a very generic floral fragrance: its 1-1 similarity to a now discountinued perfume by Laura Biagiotti (Sotto Voce). I used to like that one a lot back in the days (1996-1997) and, at some point, I missed it a lot and wished for another perfume to replicate its smell. And now came "Lady White Snake".
