White Shoulders

Evyan White Shoulders is an Eau de Parfum launched in 1945. The fragrance opens with Peach, Orange Blossom, Aldehydes, and Green, settles into a heart of Lily Of The Valley, Iris, Jasmine, and Lilac, and dries down to a base of Civet, Sandalwood, Oakmoss, and Musk.

Our verdict on White Shoulders: Favourite

White Shoulders is a divisive classic. It's either an iconic, beautiful white floral with a vintage allure, or an "old lady" scent with an overpowering, synthetic edge. You'll either adore its soapy, clean bouquet or be utterly repulsed; there's little middle ground.

Its bold floral profile means it can be a bit much for the office if oversprayed, but its clean, classic character makes it versatile. It's often associated with feminine elegance, suitable for both casual wear and more formal events, especially considering many wear it as a comforting, everyday scent.

About

Step into a sun-drenched garden, where the air hums with the rich, creamy scent of gardenia, jasmine, and tuberose. A bright, fresh opening of peach and orange blossom cuts through, lifted by aldehydic sparkle. As it settles, tender lilac and iris emerge, softened by a powdery embrace. A subtle animalic civet note grounds the composition with a hint of warm sensuality, mellowing into a comforting base of sandalwood, musk, and amber.
